+20150912
+       + fixes for configure/build using clang on OSX (prompted by report by
+         William Gallafent).
+         + do not redefine "inline" in ncurses_cfg.h; this was originally to
+           solve a problem with gcc/g++, but is aggravated by clang's misuse
+           of symbols to pretend it is gcc.
+         + add braces to configure script to prevent unwanted add of
+           "-lstdc++" to the CXXLIBS symbol.
+         + improve/update test-program used for checking existence of stdc++
+           library.
+         + if $CXXLIBS is set, the linkage test uses that in addition to $LIBS
+
+20150905
+       + add note in curs_addch.3x about line-drawing when it depends upon
+         UTF-8.
+       + add tic -q option for consistency with infocmp, use it to suppress
+         all comments from the "tic -I" output.
+       + modify infocmp -q option to suppress the "Reconstructed from"
+         header.
+       + add infocmp/tic -Q option, which allows one to dump the compiled
+         form of the terminal entry, in hexadecimal or base64.
+
+20150822
+       + sort options in usage message for infocmp, to make it simpler to
+         see unused letters.
+       + update usage message for tic, adding "-0" option.
+       + documented differences in ESCDELAY versus AIX's implementation.
+       + fix some compiler warnings from ports.
+       + modify --with-pkg-config-libdir option to make it possible to install
+         ".pc" files even if pkg-config is not found (adapted from patch by
+         Joshua Root).
+
 20150815
        + disallow "no" as a possible value for "--with-shlib-version" option,
          overlooked in cleanup-changes for 20000708 (report by Tommy Alex).
