+20070908
+	+ add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
+	  for threaded library (incomplete).
+	+ fix typos in man/curs_opaque.3x which kept the install script from
+	  creating symbolic links to two aliases created in 20070818 (report by
+	  Rong-En Fan).
+
+20070901
+	+ remove a spurious newline from output of html.m4, which caused links
+	  for Ada95 html to be incorrect for the files generated using m4.
+	+ start investigating mutex's for SCREEN manipulation (incomplete).
+	+ minor cleanup of codes.c/names.c for --enable-const
+	+ expand/revise "Routine and Argument Names" section of ncurses manpage
+	  to address report by David Givens in newsgroup discussion.
+	+ fix interaction between --without-progs/--with-termcap configure
+	  options (report by Michail Vidiassov).
+	+ fix typo in "--disable-relink" option (report by Michail Vidiassov).
+
+20070825
+	+ fix a sign-extension bug in infocmp's repair_acsc() function
+	  (cf: 971004).
+	+ fix old configure script bug which prevented "--disable-warnings"
+	  option from working (patch by Mike Frysinger).
+
+20070818
+	+ add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
+	+ modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
+	  "\0" followed by a digit.
+	+ modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
+	  This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
+	  the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
+	+ split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
+	  which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
+	  which was introduced to fix "make -j".
+	+ add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
+	+ add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
+	  when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
+
+20070812
+	+ amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
+	  unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
+	+ modify comp_captab.c generation to use big-strings.
+	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private accessed via
+	  _nc_get_alias_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
+	  library.
+	+ modify configure script to skip Intel compiler in CF_C_INLINE.
+	+ make _nc_info_hash_table and _nc_cap_hash_table private accessed via
+	  _nc_get_hash_table() since the tables are used only within the tic
+	  library.
+
+20070728
+	+ make _nc_capalias_table and _nc_infoalias_table private, accessed via
+	  _nc_get_alias_table() since they are used only by parse_entry.c
+	+ make _nc_key_names private since it is used only by lib_keyname.c
+	+ add --disable-big-strings configure option to control whether
+	  unctrl.c is generated using the big-string optimization - which may
+	  use strings longer than supported by a given compiler.
+	+ reduce relocation tables for tic, infocmp by changing type of
+	  internal hash tables to short, and make those private symbols.
+	+ eliminate large fixed arrays from progs/infocmp.c
+
+20070721
+	+ change winnstr() to stop at the end of the line (cf: 970315).
+	+ add test/test_get_wstr.c
+	+ add test/test_getstr.c
+	+ add test/test_inwstr.c
+	+ add test/test_instr.c
+
+20070716
+	+ restore a call to obtain screen-size in _nc_setupterm(), which
+	  is used in tput and other non-screen applications via setupterm()
+	  (Debian #433357, reported by Florent Bayle, Christian Ohm,
+	  cf: 20070310).
+
 20070714
 	+ add test/savescreen.c test-program
 	+ add check to trace-file open, if the given name is a directory, add
