+20120407
+	+ fix an inconsistency between tic/infocmp "-x" option; tic omits all
+	  non-standard capabilities, while infocmp was ignoring only the user
+	  definable capabilities.
+	+ improve special case in tic parsing of description to allow it to be
+	  followed by terminfo capabilities.  Previously the description had to
+	  be the last field on an input line to allow tic to distinguish
+	  between termcap and terminfo format while still allowing commas to be
+	  embedded in the description.
+	+ correct variable name in gen_edit.sh which broke configurability of
+	  the --with-xterm-kbs option.
+	+ revert 2011-07-16 change to "linux" alias, return to "linux2.2" -TD
+	+ further amend 20110910 change, providing for configure-script
+	  override of the "linux" terminfo entry to install and changing the
+	  default for that to "linux2.2" (Debian #665959).
+
+20120331
+	+ update Ada95/configure to use CF_DISABLE_ECHO (cf: 20120317).
+	+ correct order of use-clauses in st-256color -TD
+	+ modify configure script to look for gnatgcc if the Ada95 binding
+	  is built, in preference to the default gcc/cc (suggested by
+	  Nicolas Boulenguez).
+	+ modify configure script to ensure that the same -On option used for
+	  the C compiler in CFLAGS is used for ADAFLAGS rather than simply
+	  using -O3 (suggested by Nicolas Boulenguez)
+
+20120324
+	+ amend an old fix so that next_char() exits properly for empty files,
+	  e.g., from reading /dev/null (cf: 20080804).
+	+ modify tic so that it can read from the standard input, or from
+	  a character device.  Because tic uses seek's, this requires writing
+	  the data to a temporary file first (prompted by remark by Sven
+	  Joachim) (cf: 20000923).
+
+20120317
+	+ correct a check made in lib_napms.c, so that terminfo applications
+	  can again use napms() (cf: 20110604).
+	+ add a note in tic.h regarding required casts for ABSENT_BOOLEAN
+	  (cf: 20040327).
+	+ correct scripting for --disable-echo option in test/configure.
+	+ amend check for missing c++ compiler to work when no error is
+	  reported, and no variables set (cf: 20021206).
+	+ add/use configure macro CF_DISABLE_ECHO.
+
+20120310
+	+ fix some strict compiler warnings for abi6 and 64-bits.
+	+ use begin_va_copy/end_va_copy macros in lib_printw.c (cf: 20120303).
+	+ improve a limit-check in infocmp.c (Werner Fink):
+
+20120303
+	+ minor tidying of terminfo.tail, clarify reason for limitation
+	  regarding mapping of \0 to \200
+	+ minor improvement to _nc_copy_termtype(), using memcpy to replace
+	  loops.
+	+ fix no-leaks checking in test/demo_termcap.c to account for multiple
+	  calls to setupterm().
+	+ modified the libgpm change to show previous load as a problem in the
+	  debug-trace.
+	> merge some patches from OpenSUSE rpm (Werner Fink):
+	+ ncurses-5.7-printw.dif, fixes for varargs handling in lib_printw.c
+	+ ncurses-5.7-gpm.dif, do not dlopen libgpm if already loaded by
+	  runtime linker
+	+ ncurses-5.6-fallback.dif, do not free arrays and strings from static
+	  fallback entries
+
+20120228
+	+ fix breakage in tic/infocmp from 20120225 (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20120225
+	+ modify configure script to allow creating dll's for MinGW when
+	  cross-compiling.
+	+ add --enable-string-hacks option to control whether strlcat and
+	  strlcpy may be used.  The same issue applies to OpenBSD's warnings
+	  about snprintf, noting that this function is weakly standardized.
+	+ add configure checks for strlcat, strlcpy and snprintf, to help
+	  reduce bogus warnings with OpenBSD builds.
+	+ build-fix for OpenBSD 4.9 to supply consistent intptr_t declaration
+	  (cf:20111231)
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+
 20120218
 	+ correct CF_ETIP_DEFINES configure macro, making it exit properly on
 	  the first success (patch by Pierre Labastie).
