+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).
+       + improve portability discussion of ACS characters in curs_addch
+         manpage.
+       + improve typography for double-quotes in manpages.
+
+20191123
+       + fix typo for MinGW rpm test-package.
+       + workaround in rpm specs for NFS problems in Fedora 31.
+
+20191116
+       + modify ncurses/Makefile.in to fix a case where Debian/testing changes
+         to the ld --as-needed configuration broke ncurses-examples test
+         packages.
+       + drop library-dependency on psapi for MinGW port, since win_driver.c
+         defines PSAPI_VERSION to 2, making it use GetProcessImageFileName
+         from kernel32.dll (prompted by patch by Simon Sobish, cf: 20140503).
+
+20191109
+       + add warning-check in tic for terminals with parm_dch vs parm_ich.
+       + drop ich1 from rxvt-basic, Eterm and mlterm to improve compatibility
+         with old non-curses programs -TD
+       + reviewed st 0.8.2, updated some details -TD
+       + use ansi+rep several places -TD
+       + corrected tic's check for ich1 (report by Sebastian J. Bronner,
+         cf: 20020901).
+
 20191102
        + check parameter of set_escdelay, return ERR if negative.
        + check parameter of set_tabsize, return ERR if not greater than zero
