+ move the chunk in lib_acs.c which resets acs capabilities when
running on a terminal whose locale interferes with those into
_nc_setupscreen(), so the libtinfo/libtinfow files can be made
identical (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ do not use configure variable SHLIB_LIBS for building libraries
outside the ncurses directory, since that symbol is customized
only for that directory, and using it introduces an unneeded
dependency on libdl (requested by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ modify mk-1st.awk so the generated makefile rules for linking or
installing shared libraries do not first remove the library, in
case it is in use, e.g., libncurses.so by /bin/sh (report by Jeff
Chua).
+ revised section "Using NCURSES under XTERM" in ncurses-intro.html
(prompted by newsgroup comment by Nick Guenther).

+ change internal return codes of _nc_wgetch() to check for cases
where KEY_CODE_YES should be returned, e.g., if a KEY_RESIZE was
ungetch'd, and read by wget_wch().
+ fix static-library build broken in
20070217 changes to remove "-ldl"
(report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ change makefile/scripts for cygwin to allow building termlib.
+ use Form_Hook in manpages to match form.h
+ use Menu_Hook in manpages, as well as a few places in menu.h
+ correct form- and menu-manpages to use specific Field_Options,
Menu_Options and Item_Options types.
+ correct prototype for _tracechar() in manpage (cf:
20011229).
+ correct prototype for wunctrl() in manpage.

+ fixes for $(TICS_LIST) in ncurses/Makefile (report by Miroslav
Lichvar).
+ modify relinking of shared libraries to apply only when rpath is
enabled, and add --disable-relink option which can be used to
disable the feature altogether (reports by Michail Vidiassov,
Adam J Richter).
+ fix --with-termlib option for wide-character configuration, stripping
the "w" suffix in one place (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ remove "-ldl" from some library lists to reduce dependencies in
programs (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+ correct description of --enable-signed-char in configure --help
(report by Michail Vidiassov).
+ add pattern for GNU/kFreeBSD configuration to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
which matches an earlier change to CF_SHARED_OPTS, from xterm #224
fixes.
+ remove "${DESTDIR}" from -install_name option used for linking
shared libraries on Darwin (report by Michail Vidiassov).

ncurses 5.6 - patch
20070203
+ modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window.
Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
Ricardo Cantu).
+ improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+ ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
+ add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
+ drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
no longer relies on it.
+ disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
--enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+ remove tack from ncurses tree.
