+20081011
+       + update html documentation.
+       + add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
+         the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
+       + correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
+       + document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
+       + fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
+       + add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
+         tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
+         20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
+
+20081004
+       + some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
+         works for C/C++ parts).
+       + improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
+         AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
+
+20080927
+       + fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
+         strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
+       + fix build for --disable-sigwinch
+       + add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
+         GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
+       + disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
+         "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
+         that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
+       + reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
+         Miroslav Lichvar).
+       + fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
+       > patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+       + use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
+       + discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
+       + move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
+         slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
+
 20080925
        + fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
          Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
