+20140209
+       + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to omit followup check to determine if
+         _XOPEN_SOURCE can/should be defined.  g++ 4.7.2 built on Solaris 10
+         has some header breakage due to its own predefinition of this symbol
+         (report by Jean-Pierre Flori, Sage #15796).
+
+20140201
+       + add/use symbol NCURSES_PAIRS_T like NCURSES_COLOR_T, to illustrate
+         which "short" types are for color pairs and which are color values.
+       + fix build for s390x, by correcting field bit offsets in generated
+         representation clauses when int=32 long=64 and endian=big, or at
+         least on s390x (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+       + minor cleanup change to test/form_driver_w.c (patch by Gaute Hope).
+
+20140125
+       + remove unnecessary ifdef's in Ada95/gen/gen.c, which reportedly do
+         not work as is with gcc 4.8 due to fixes using chtype cast made for
+         new compiler warnings by gcc 4.8 in 20130824 (Debian #735753, patch
+         by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+
+20140118
+       + apply includesubdir variable which was introduced in 20130805 to
+         gen-pkgconfig.in (Debian #735782).
+
+20131221
+       + further improved man2html, used this to fix broken links in html
+         manpages.  See
+         ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/patches/man2html
+
+20131214
+       + modify configure-script/ifdef's to allow OLD_TTY feature to be
+         suppressed if the type of ospeed is configured using the option
+         --with-ospeed to not be a short.  By default, it is a short for
+         termcap-compatibility (adapted from suggestion by Christian
+         Weisgerber).
+       + correct a typo in _nc_baudrate() (patch by Christian Weisgerber,
+         cf: 20061230).
+       + fix a few -Wlogical-op warnings.
+       + updated llib-l* files.
+
+20131207
+       + add form_driver_w() entrypoint to wide-character forms library, as
+         well as test program form_driver_w (adapted from patch by Gaute
+         Hope).
+
+20131123
+       + minor fix for CF_GCC_WARNINGS to special-case options which are not
+         recognized by clang.
+
 20131116
        + add special case to configure script to move _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 
          definition from CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS if it happens to be needed for
