+20210515
+       + improve manual pages for wgetnstr, newwin (prompted by
+         report/testcase by Bill Gray).
+
+20210508
+       + modify tputs' error check to allow it to be used without first
+         calling tgetent or setupterm, noting that terminfo initialization
+         is required for supporting the terminfo delay feature (report by
+         Sebastiano Vigna).
+       + fix several warnings from clang --analyze
+       + add null-pointer check in comp_parse.c, when a "use=" clause refers
+         to a nonexisting terminal description (report/patch by Miroslav
+         Lichvar, cf: 20210227).
+
+20210501
+       + add a special case in the configure script to work around one of the
+         build-time breakages reported for OpenBSD 6 here:
+            https://www.mail-archive.com/bugs@openbsd.org/msg13200.html
+         There is no workaround for the other issue, a broken linker spec.
+       + modify configure check for libtool to prevent accidental use of an
+         OpenBSD program which uses the same name.
+       + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20210424
+       + avoid using broken system macros for snprintf which interfere with
+         _nc_SLIMIT's conditionally adding a parameter when the string-hacks
+         configure option is enabled.
+       + add a "all::" rule before the new "check" rule in test/Makefile.in
+
+20210418
+       + improve CF_LINK_FUNCS by ensuring that the source-file is closed
+         before linking to the target.
+       + add "check" rules for headers in c++, progs and test-directories.
+       + build-fix for termsort module when configured with termcap (reports
+         by Rajeev V Pillai, Rudi Heitbaum).
+
 20210417
        + extend --disable-pkg-ldflags option to also control whether $LDFLAGS
          from the build is provided in -config and .pc files (Debian #986764).
