+20160910
+       + trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
+         Leon Winter).
+       + trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
+         page (patch by Leon Winter).
+       + really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
+       + add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
+       + completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
+       + make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
+         "bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
+
+20160903
+       + correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
+         by Rich Coe).
+       + modify misc/Makefile.in to work around OpenBSD "make" which unlike
+         all other versions of "make" does not recognize continuation lines
+         of comments.
+       + amend the last change to CF_C_ENV_FLAGS to move only the
+         preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS,
+         leaving the residue in CC.  That happens to work for gcc's various
+         "model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers (report
+         by Sven Joachim).
+
+20160827
+       + add "v" menu entry to test/ncurses.c to show baudrate and other
+         values.
+       + add "newer" baudrate symbols from Linux and FreeBSD to progs/tset.c,
+         lib_baudrate.c
+       + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro:
+         + add "uclinux" to case for "linux" (patch by Yann E. Morin)
+         + modify _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with cygwin 2.3, 2.5
+           (patch by Corinna Vinschen, from changes to tin).
+       + improve CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS macro to allow for compiler wrappers such
+         as "ccache" (report by Enrico Scholz).
+       + update config.guess, config.sub from
+               http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
 20160820
        + update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
          modes by sharing functions with tset.
