+20180707
+       + build-fixes for gcc8.
+       + correct order of WINDOW._ttytype versus WINDOW._windowlist in
+         report_offsets.
+       + fix a case where tiparm could return null if the format-string was
+         empty (Debian #902630).
+
+20180630
+       + add acsc string to vi200 (Nibby Nebbulous)
+         add right/down-arrow to vi200's acsc -TD
+       + add "x" to tput's getopt string so that "tput -x clear" works
+         (Nicholas Marriott).
+       + minor fixes prompted by anonymous report on stack overflow:
+         + correct order of checks in _nc_get_locale(), for systems lacking
+           locale support.
+         + add "#error" in a few places to flag unsupported configurations
+
+20180623
+       + use _WIN32/_WIN64 in preference to __MINGW32__/__MINGW64__ symbols
+         to simplify building with MSVC, since the former are defined in both
+         compiler configurations (report by Ali Abdulkadir).
+       + further improvements to configure-checks from work on dialog, i.e.,
+         updated CF_ADD_INCDIR, CF_FIND_LINKAGE, CF_GCC_WARNINGS,
+         CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE, CF_SIZECHANGE, and
+         CF_TRY_XOPEN_SOURCE.
+       + update config.guess, config.sub from
+               http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20180616
+       + build-fix for ncurses-examples related to gcc8-fixes (cf: 20180526).
+       + reduce use of _GNU_SOURCE for current glibc where _DEFAULT_SOURCE
+         combines with _XOPEN_SOURCE (Debian #900987).
+       + change target configure level for _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 to address
+         use of vsscanf and setenv.
+       + improved configure-checks CF_SIZECHANGE and CF_STRUCT_TERMIOS from
+         work on dialog.
+
+20180609
+       + modify generated ncurses*config and ncurses.pc, ncursesw.pc, etc.,
+         to list helper libraries such as gpm for static linking (Debian
+         #900839).
+       + marked vwprintw and vwscanw as deprecated; recommend using vw_printw
+         and vw_scanw, respectively.

+       + modified RPM test-package to work with Mageia6.
+
+20180526
+       + add note in curs_util.3x about unctrl.h
+       + review/improve header files to ensure that those include necessary
+         files except for the previously-documented cases (report by Isaac
+         Pascual Monells).
+       + improved test-package scripts, adapted from byacc 1.9 20180525.
+       + fix some gcc8 warnings seen in Redhat package build, but
+         work around bug in gcc8 compiler warnings in comp_parse.c
