+       + modify waddch_literal() to allow for double-width base character when

+       + improve _tracecchar_t2() formatting of base+combining character.
+
+20220604
+       + add note on portable memory-leak checking in man/curs_memleaks.3x
+       + remove u6-u9 from teken-2018 -TD
+       + set "xterm-new" to "xterm-p370", add "xterm-p371" -TD
+
+20220529
+       + expanded notes for teken/syscons -TD
+       + fix overlooked copying of extended string-heap in copy_termtype
+         (cf: 20220430).
+       + update config.guess
+
+20220521
+       + improve memory-leak checking in several test-programs.
+       + set trailing null on string passed from winsnstr() to wins_nwstr().
+       + modify del_curterm() to fix memory-leak introduced by change to
+         copy_termtype().
+
+20220514
+       + further improvements to test/test_mouse.c; compare with ncurses test
+         program menu A/a.
+
+20220507
+       + add test/test_mouse.c (patch by Leonid S Usov).
+       + add a few debug-traces for tic, fix a couple of memory-leaks.
+
+20220501
+       + build-fix for debug-traces (report/patch by Chris Clayton).
+
+20220430

+       + improve valid_entryname() to disallow characters used in terminfo
+         syntax: '#', '=', '|', '\'.
+       + alter copy_termtype() to allocate new str_table and ext_str_table
+         data rather than relying upon its callers.
+       + use calloc in _nc_init_entry() when allocating stringbuf, to ensure
+         it is initialized.

+       + add some debug-traces for tic/infocmp.
