+20070210
+       + add test/inchs.c, test_inch_wide.c, to test win_wchnstr().
+       + remove libdl from library list for termlib (report by Miroslav
+         Lichvar).
+       + fix configure.in to allow --without-progs --with-termlib (patch by
+         Miroslav Lichvar).
+       + modify win_wchnstr() to ensure that only a base cell is returned
+         for each multi-column character (prompted by report by Wei Kong
+         regarding change in mvwin_wch() cf: 20041023).
+
+20070203
+       + modify fix_wchnstr() in form library to strip attributes (and color)
+         from the cchar_t array (field cells) read from a field's window. 
+         Otherwise, when copying the field cells back to the window, the
+         associated color overrides the field's background color (report by
+         Ricardo Cantu).
+       + improve tracing for form library, showing created forms, fields, etc.
+       + ignore --enable-rpath configure option if --with-shared was omitted.
+       + add _nc_leaks_tinfo(), _nc_free_tic(), _nc_free_tinfo() entrypoints
+         to allow leak-checking when both tic- and tinfo-libraries are built.
+       + drop CF_CPP_VSCAN_FUNC macro from configure script, since C++ binding
+         no longer relies on it.
+       + disallow combining configure script options --with-ticlib and
+         --enable-termcap (report by Rong-En Fan).
+       + remove tack from ncurses tree.  
+
+20070128
+       + fix typo in configure script that broke --with-termlib option
+         (report by Rong-En Fan).
+
+20070127
+       + improve fix for FreeBSD gnu/98975, to allow for null pointer passed
+         to tgetent() (report by Rong-en Fan).
+       + update tack/HISTORY and tack/README to tell how to build it after
+         it is removed from the ncurses tree.
+       + fix configure check for libtool's version to trim blank lines
+         (report by sci-fi@hush.ai).
+       + review/eliminate other original-file artifacts in cursesw.cc, making
+         its license consistent with ncurses.
+       + use ncurses vw_scanw() rather than reading into a fixed buffer in
+         the c++ binding for scanw() methods.
+       + eliminate fixed-buffer vsprintf() calls in c++ binding.
+
 20070120
        + add _nc_leaks_tic() to separate leak-checking of tic library from
          term/ncurses libraries, and thereby eliminate a library dependency.
