+20070818
+       + add 9term terminal description (request by Juhapekka Tolvanen) -TD
+       + modify comp_hash.c's string output to avoid misinterpreting a null
+         "\0" followed by a digit.
+       + modify MKnames.awk and MKcodes.awk to support big-strings.
+         This only applies to the cases (broken linker, reentrant) where
+         the corresponding arrays are accessed via wrapper functions.
+       + split MKnames.awk into two scripts, eliminating the shell redirection
+         which complicated the make process and also the bogus timestamp file
+         which was introduced to fix "make -j".
+       + add test/test_opaque.c, test/test_arrays.c
+       + add wgetscrreg() and wgetparent() for applications that may need it
+         when NCURSES_OPAQUE is defined (prompted by Bryan Christ).
+
 20070812
        + amend treatment of infocmp "-r" option to retain the 1023-byte limit
          unless "-T" is given (cf: 981017).
