+20160312
+       + modified test/filter.c to illustrate an alternative to getnstr, that
+         polls for input while updating a clock on the right margin as well
+         as responding to window size-changes.
+
+20160305
+       + omit a redefinition of "inline" when traces are enabled, since this
+         does not work with gcc 5.3.x MinGW cross-compiling (cf: 20150912).
+
+20160220
+       + modify test/configure script to check for pthread dependency of
+         ncursest or ncursestw library when building ncurses examples, e.g.,
+         in case weak symbols are used.
+       + modify configure macro for shared-library rules to use -Wl,-rpath
+         rather than -rpath to work around a bug in scons (FreeBSD #178732,
+         cf: 20061021).
+       + double-width multibyte characters were not counted properly in
+         winsnstr and wins_nwstr (report/example by Eric Pruitt).
+       + update config.guess, config.sub from
+               http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20160213
+       + amend fix for _nc_ripoffline from 20091031 to make test/ditto.c work
+         in threaded configuration.
+       + move _nc_tracebits, _tracedump and _tracemouse to curses.priv.h,
+         since they are not part of the suggested ABI6.
+
+20160206
+       + define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN for MinGW port, making builds faster.
+       + modify test/ditto.c to allow $XTERM_PROG environment variable to
+         override "xterm" as the name of the program to run in the threaded
+         configuration.
+
+20160130
+       + improve formatting of man/curs_refresh.3x and man/tset.1 manpages
+       + regenerate HTML manpages using newer man2html to eliminate some
+         unwanted blank lines.
+
 20160123
        + ifdef'd header-file definition of mouse_trafo() with NCURSES_NOMACROS
          (report by Corey Minyard).
