+20191019
+       + modify make_hash to not require --disable-leaks, to simplify building
+         with address-sanitizer.
+       + modify tic to exit if it cannot remove a conflicting name, because
+         treating that as a partial success can cause an infinite loop in
+         use-resolution (report/testcase by Hongxu Chen, cf: 20111001).
+
+20191015
+       + improve buffer-checks in captoinfo.c, for some cases when the
+         input string is shorter than expected.
+       > fix two errata in tic (report/testcases by Hongxu Chen):
+       + check for missing character after backslash in write_it
+       + check for missing characters after "%>" when converting from termcap
+         syntax (cf: 980530).
+
 20191012
        + amend recent changes to ncurses*-config and pc-files to filter out
          Debian linker-flags (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150516).
