+20191019
+       + modify make_hash to not require --disable-leaks, to simplify building
+         with address-sanitizer.
+       + modify tic to exit if it cannot remove a conflicting name, because
+         treating that as a partial success can cause an infinite loop in
+         use-resolution (report/testcase by Hongxu Chen, cf: 20111001).
+
+20191015
+       + improve buffer-checks in captoinfo.c, for some cases when the
+         input string is shorter than expected.
+       > fix two errata in tic (report/testcases by Hongxu Chen):
+       + check for missing character after backslash in write_it
+       + check for missing characters after "%>" when converting from termcap
+         syntax (cf: 980530).
+
+20191012
+       + amend recent changes to ncurses*-config and pc-files to filter out
+         Debian linker-flags (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150516).
+       + clarify relationship between tic, infocmp and captoinfo in manpage.
+       + check for invalid hashcode in _nc_find_type_entry and
+         _nc_find_name_entry.
+       > fix several errata in tic (reports/testcases by "zjuchenyuan"):
+       + check for invalid hashcode in _nc_find_entry.
+       + check for missing character after backslash in fmt_entry
+       + check for acsc with odd length in dump_entry in check for one-one
+         mapping (cf: 20060415);
+       + check length when converting from old AIX box_chars_1 capability,
+         overlooked in changes to eliminate strcpy (cf: 20001007).
+
+20191005
+       + modify the ncurse*-config and pc-files to more closely match for the
+         -I and -l options.
+
+20190928
+       + amend the ncurses*-config and pc-files to take into account the rpath
+         hack which differed between those files.
+       + improve -L option filtering in ncurses*-config
+       + improve recovery from error when reading command-character in
+         test/ncurses.c, showing the relevant error message and not exiting on
+         EINTR (cf: 20180922)
+
+20190921
+       + add a note in resizeterm manpage about top-level windows which touch
+         the screen's borders.
+       + modify configure-checks for gnat to identify each of the tools path
+         and version.
+
+20190914
+       + build-fixes for Ada95 configure-script and corresponding test package
+
 20190907
        + add --with-ada-libname option and modify Ada95 configuration to 
          allow renaming the "AdaCurses" library (prompted by proposed changes
