+20210417
+       + extend --disable-pkg-ldflags option to also control whether $LDFLAGS
+         from the build is provided in -config and .pc files (Debian #986764).
+       + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses and c++
+         libraries and progs directory.
+       + fix off-by-one limit for tput's processing command-line arguments
+         (patch by Hadrien Lacour).
+
+20210403
+       + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses library and
+         progs directory.
+       + improve description of BSD-style padding in curs_termcap.3x
+       + improved CF_C11_NORETURN macro, from byacc changes.
+       + fix "--enable-leak" in CF_DISABLE_LEAKS to allow turning
+         leak-checking off later in a set of options.
+       + relax modification-time comparison in CF_LINK_FUNCS to allow it to
+         accept link() function with NFS filesystems which change the mtime
+         on the link target, e.g., several BSD systems.
+       + call delay_output_sp to handle BSD-style padding when tputs_sp is 
+         called, whether directly or internally, to ensure that the SCREEN
+         pointer is passed correctly (reports by Henric Jungheim, Juraj
+         Lutter).
+
+20210327
+       + build-fixes for Solaris10 /bin/sh
+       + fix some cppcheck warnings, mostly style, in ncurses test-programs,
+         form and menu libraries.
+
+20210323
+       + add configure option --enable-stdnoreturn, making the _Noreturn
+         keyword optional to ease transition (prompted by report by
+         Rajeev V Pillai).
+
+20210320
+       + improve parameter-checking in tput by forcing it to analyze any
+         extended string capability, e.g., as used in the Cs and Ms
+         capabilities of the tmux description (report by Brad Town,
+         cf: 20200531).
+       + remove an incorrect free in the fallback (non-checking) version of
+         _nc_free_and_exit (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+       + correct use-ordering in some xterm-direct flavors -TD
+       + add hterm, hterm-256color (Mike Frysinger)
+       + if the build-time compiler accepts c11's _Noreturn keyword, use that
+         rather than gcc's attribute.
+       + change configure-check for gcc's noreturn attribute to assume it is
+         a prefix rather than suffix, matching c11's _Noreturn convention.
+       + add "lint" rule to c++/Makefile, e.g., with cppcheck.
+
 20210313
        + improve configure CF_LD_SEARCHPATH macro used for ncurses*-config and
          ".pc" files, from dialog changes.
