+20150328
+	+ add "-f" option to test/savescreen.c to help with testing/debugging
+	  the extended putwin/getwin.
+	+ add logic for writing/reading combining characters in the extended
+	  putwin/getwin.
+	+ add "--enable-ext-putwin" configure option to turn on the extended
+	  putwin/getwin.
+
+20150321
+	+ in-progress changes to provide an extended version of putwin and
+	  getwin which will be capable of reading screen-dumps between the
+	  wide/normal ncurses configurations.  These are text files, except
+	  for a magic code at the beginning:
+	  0       string          \210\210        Screen-dump (ncurses)
+
+20150307
+	+ document limitations of getwin in manual page (prompted by discussion
+	  with John S Urban).
+	+ extend test/savescreen.c to demonstrate that color pair values
+	  and graphic characters can be restored using getwin.
+
+20150228
+	+ modify win_driver.c to eliminate the constructor, to make it more
+	  usable in an application which may/may not need the console window
+	  (report by Grady Martin).
+
+20150221
+	+ capture define's related to -D_XOPEN_SOURCE from the configure check
+	  and add those to the *-config and *.pc files, to simplify use for
+	  the wide-character libraries.
+	+ modify ncurses.spec to accommodate Fedora21's location of pkg-config
+	  directory.
+	+ correct sense of "--disable-lib-suffixes" configure option (report
+	  by Nicolas Boos, cf: 20140426).
+
+20150214
+	+ regenerate html manpages using improved man2html from work on xterm.
+	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, accounting
+	  for the "--enable-weak-symbols" configure option (report by Werner
+	  Fink).
+
+20150131
+	+ regenerated ".map" and ".sym" files using improved script, showing
+	  the combinations of configure options used at each stage.
+
+20150124
+	+ add configure check to determine if "local: _*;" can be used in the
+	  ".map" files to selectively omit symbols beginning with "_".  On at
+	  least recent FreeBSD, the wildcard applies to all "_" symbols.
+	+ remove obsolete/conflicting rule for ncurses.map from
+	  ncurses/Makefile.in (cf:  20130706).
+
+20150117
+	+ improve description in INSTALL of the --with-versioned-syms option.
+	+ add combination of --with-hashed-db and --with-ticlib to
+	  configurations for ".map" files (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20150110
+	+ add a step to generating ".map" files, to declare any remaining
+	  symbols beginning with "_" as local, at the last version node.
+	+ improve configure checks for pkg-config, addressing a variant found
+	  with FreeBSD ports.
+	+ modify win_driver.c to provide characters for special keys, like
+	  ansi.sys, when keypad mode is off, rather than returning nothing at
+	  all (discussion with Eli Zaretskii).
+	+ add "broken_linker" and "hashed-db" configure options to combinations
+	  use for generating the ".map" and ".sym" files.
+	+ avoid using "ld" directly when creating shared library, to simplify
+	  cross-compiles.  Also drop "-Bsharable" option from shared-library
+	  rules for FreeBSD and DragonFly (FreeBSD #196592).
+	+ fix a memory leak in form library Free_RegularExpression_Type()
+	  (report by Pavel Balaev).
+
+20150103
+	+ modify_nc_flush() to retry if interrupted (patch by Stian Skjelstad).
+	+ change map files to make _nc_freeall a global, since it may be used
+	  via the Ada95 binding when checking for memory leaks.
+	+ improve sed script used in 20141220 to account for wide-, threaded-
+	  variations in ABI 6.
+
+20141227
+	+ regenerate ".map" files, using step overlooked in 20141213 to use
+	  the same patch-dates across each file to match ncurses.map (report by
+	  Sven Joachim).
+
+20141221
+	+ fix an incorrect variable assignment in 20141220 changes (report by
+	  Sven Joachim).
+
 20141220
 	+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213
 	+ tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms
