+20111015
+       + improve description of --disable-tic-depends option to make it
+         clear that it may be useful whether or not the --with-termlib
+         option is also given (report by Sven Joachim).
+       + amend termcap equivalent for set_pglen_inch to use the X/Open
+         "YI" rather than the obsolete Solaris 2.5 "sL" (cf: 990109).
+       + improve manpage for tgetent differences from termcap library.
+
+20111008
+       + moved static data from db_iterator.c to lib_data.c
+       + modify db_iterator.c for memory-leak checking, fix one leak.
+       + modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to use Requires.private for the parts
+         of ncurses rather than Requires, as well as Libs.private for the
+         other library dependencies (prompted by Debian #644728).
+
+20111001
+       + modify tic "-K" option to only set the strict-flag rather than force
+         source-output.  That allows the same flag to control the parser for
+         input and output of termcap source.
+       + modify _nc_getent() to ignore backslash at the end of a comment line,
+         making it consistent with ncurses' parser.
+       + restore a special-case check for directory needed to make termcap
+         text files load as if they were databases (cf: 20110924).
+       + modify tic's resolution/collision checking to attempt to remove the
+         conflicting alias from the second entry in the pair, which is
+         normally following in the source file.  Also improved the warning
+         message to make it simpler to see which alias is the problem.
+       + improve performance of the database iterator by caching search-list.
+
+20110925
+       + add a missing "else" in changes to _nc_read_tic_entry().
+
 20110924
        + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
          filesystem.
