+20200111
+       + improve configure macros which check for the X11/Intrinsic.h header,
+         to accommodate recent MacOS changes.
+       + suppress gcc's -Winline warning; it has not been useful for some time
+       + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20200104
+       + modify a couple of macros in aclocal.m4 to allow autoconf 2.69 to
+         "work", to help illustrate discussion in
+         https://invisible-island.net/autoconf/my-autoconf.html
+       + fix some warnings from autoheader-252
+
+20191228
+       + in gen-pkgconfig.in, move the RPATH_LIST and PRIVATE_LIBS assignments
+         past the various prefix/libdir assignments, to allow for using those
+         symbols, e.g., as done via CF_SHARED_OPTS.
+       + improve ncurses*-config and pc-files by filtering out linker-specs.
+       + modify test-package to more closely match Fedora's configuration
+         for PIE/PIC feature and debug-packages.
+
+20191221
+       + correct pathname used in Ada95 sample programs for explain.txt, to
+         work with test-packages.
+       + improve tracemunch:
+         + keep track of TERMINAL* values
+         + if tracing was first turned on after initialization, attempt to
+           show distinct screen, window and terminal names anyway.
+       + ensure that GCC_NORETURN is defined in term.h, because the prototype
+         for exit_terminfo() uses it (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20191214
+       + add exit_curses() and exit_terminfo() to replace internal symbols for
+         leak-checking.
+
+20191207
+       + fix a few warnings for test-package builds
+       + add curses_trace(), to replace trace().
+
 20191130
        + add portability section to curs_getcchar manpage (prompted by
          discussion with Nick Black).
