+       + modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
+         --disable-ext-funcs is used.
+       + add test/clip_printw.c to illustrate how to use printw without
+         wrapping.

+       + modify ncurses 'f' test to demo wborder() with colored lines.
+
+20081213
+       + add check for failure to open hashed-database needed for db4.6
+         (GenToo #245370).
+       + corrected --without-manpages option; previous change only suppressed
+         the auxiliary rules install.man and uninstall.man
+       + add case for FreeMINT to configure macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE (patch from
+         GenToo #250454).
+       + fixes from NetBSD port at
+         http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/patches
+         patch-ac (build-fix for DragonFly)
+         patch-ae (use INSTALL_SCRIPT for installing misc/ncurses*-config).
+       + improve configure script macros CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_LIBRARY_PATH
+         by adding CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS, LIBS values to the
+         search-lists.
+       + correct title string for keybound manpage (patch by Frederic Culot,
+         OpenBSD documentation/6019),
+
+20081206
+       + move del_curterm() call from _nc_freeall() to _nc_leaks_tinfo() to
+         work for progs/clear, progs/tabs, etc.
+       + correct buffer-size after internal resizing of wide-character
+         set_field_buffer(), broken in 20081018 changes (report by Mike Gran).
+       + add "-i" option to test/filter.c to tell it to use initscr() rather
+         than newterm(), to investigate report on comp.unix.programmer that
+         ncurses would clear the screen in that case (it does not - the issue
+         was xterm's alternate screen feature).
+       + add check in mouse-driver to disable connection if GPM returns a
+         zero, indicating that the connection is closed (Debian #506717,
+         adapted from patch by Samuel Thibault).
+
 20081129
        + improve a workaround in adding wide-characters, when a control
          character is found.  The library (cf: 20040207) uses unctrl() to
