+20150711
+       + modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
+         configuration of ncurses6.
+       + add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
+         demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
+         the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
+         versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
+       + fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
+
+20150704
+       + fix a few problems reported by Coverity.
+       + fix comparison against "/usr/include" in misc/gen-pkgconfig.in
+         (report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf:  20141213).
+
+20150627
+       + modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
+         building ABI 6.
+       + add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
+         map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
+         suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
+       + comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
+         from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
+       + modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
+         databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
+       + add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
+         setupterm and restartterm functions.
+       + amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
+         of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
+         it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
+         Schindelin).
+
 20150613
        + fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
        + modify script used to generate map/sym files to mark 5.9.20150530 as
