+20120721
+       + improved form_request_by_name() and menu_request_by_name().
+       + eliminate two fixed-size buffers in toe.c
+       + extend use_tioctl() to have expected behavior when use_env(FALSE) and
+         use_tioctl(TRUE) are called.
+       + modify ncurses test-program, adding -E and -T options to demonstrate
+         use_env() versus use_tioctl().
+
+20120714
+       + add use_tioctl() function (adapted from patch by Werner Fink,
+         Novell #769788):
+
+20120707
+       + add ncurses_mingw.h to installed headers (prompted by patch by
+         Juergen Pfeifer).
+       + clarify return-codes from wgetch() in response to SIGWINCH (prompted
+         by Novell #769788).
+       + modify resizeterm() to always push a KEY_RESIZE onto the fifo, even
+         if screensize is unchanged.  Modify _nc_update_screensize() to push a
+         KEY_RESIZE if there was a SIGWINCH, even if it does not call
+         resizeterm().  These changes eliminate the case where a SIGWINCH is
+         received, but ERR returned from wgetch or wgetnstr because the screen
+         dimensions did not change (Novell #769788).
+
+20120630
+       + add --enable-interop to sample package scripts (suggested by Juergen
+         Pfeifer).
+       + update CF_PATH_SYNTAX macro, from mawk changes.
+       + modify mk-0th.awk to allow for generating llib-ltic, etc., though
+         some work is needed on cproto to work with lib_gen.c to update
+         llib-lncurses.
+       + remove redundant getenv() cal in database-iterator leftover from
+         cleanup in 20120622 changes (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20120622
+       + add -d, -e and -q options to test/demo_terminfo and test/demo_termcap
+       + fix caching of environment variables in database-iterator (patch by
+         Philippe Troin, Redhat #831366).
+
 20120616
        + add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate
          warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings
