+20140215
+       + in-progress changes to win_driver.c to implement output without
+         allocating a console-buffer.  This uses a pre-existing environment
+         variable NCGDB used by Juergen Pfeifer for debugging (prompted by
+         discussion with Erwin Waterlander regarding Console2, which hangs
+         when reading in an allocated console-buffer).
+       + add -t option to gdc.c, and modify to accept "S" to step through the
+         scrolling-stages.
+       + regenerate NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html to fix some of the broken
+         html emitted by docbook.
+
+20140209
+       + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
+         _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined.  g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
+         has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
+         (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
+
 20140201
        + add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
          which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
