+       + improve manpage description for addch versus unctrl format used for
+         non-printable characters.
+       + modify version-check for gcc/g++, now works for msys2.
+       + modify check in _nc_write_entry() for multiply defined aliases to
+         report problems within the current runtime of tic rather than for
+         conflicts with pre-existing terminal descriptions.
+       + allow for MinGW32-/64-bit configurations to use _DEFAULT_SOURCE
+       + clarify interaction of -R option versus -C, -I and -r in infocmp
+         manpage.
+       + build-fix in lib_win32con.c (cf: 20230211).
+
+20230225
+       + build-fixes for rpm test-packages.
+       + add/use configure check for clock_gettime(), to supersede
+         gettimeofday().
+
+20230218
+       + configure-script improvements:
+         + recent msys2 headers work with _DEFAULT_SOURCE; amend check
+         + use $ac_includes_default in most cases where stdlib.h should work
+         + use #error consistently vs "make an error"
+         + add configure macro for gettimeofday vs inline check
+
+20230211
+       + set dwShareMode in calls to CreateConsoleScreenBuffer() (patch by
+         Hannes Domani).
+       + use CreateFile with "CONIN$", "CONOUT$" rather than GetStdHandle to
+         obtain a handle on the actual console, avoiding redirection in the
+         MinGW/Win32 configurations (adapted from patch by LIU Hao).
+
+20230128
+       + document XF, kxIN and kxOUT -TD
+       + add note on sun/wscons/cmdtool/shelltool -TD
+       + modify configure script check for pkg-config library directory to
+         take into account an older version 0.15.0 which used PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+         but not PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
+
+20230121
+       + correct limit-check when dumping tc/use clause via tic -I (report by
+         Gabriel Ravier).
+       + correct a check for manpage-alias in edit_man.sh, to work with out of
+         tree builds (report by Sven Joachim).
+
 20230114
        + change RV to XR/xr, to avoid conflict with pre-existing usage in vim,
          to use RV/rv to denote DA2 and its response (discussion with Bram
