+20110924
+       + modify _nc_read_tic_entry() so that hashed-database is checked before
+         filesystem.
+       + updated CF_CURSES_LIBS check in test/configure script.
+       + modify configure script and makefiles to split TIC_ARGS and
+         TINFO_ARGS into pieces corresponding to LDFLAGS and LIBS variables,
+         to help separate searches for tic- and tinfo-libraries (patch by Nick
+         Alcock aka "Nix").
+       + build-fix for lib_mouse.c changes (ch: 20110917).
+
+20110917
+       + fix compiler warning for clang 2.9
+       + improve merging of mouse events (integrated patch by Damien
+         Guibouret).
+       + correct mask-check used in lib_mouse for wheel mouse buttons 4/5
+         (patch by Damien Guibouret).
+
+20110910
+       + modify misc/gen_edit.sh to select a "linux" entry which works with
+         the current kernel rather than assuming it is always "linux3.0"
+         (cf: 20110716).
+       + revert a change to getmouse() which had the undesirable side-effect
+         of suppressing button-release events (report by Damien Guibouret,
+         cf: 20100102).
+       + add xterm+kbs fragment from xterm #272 -TD
+       + add configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir to provide control over
+         the actual directory into which pc-files are installed, do not use
+         the pkg-config environment variables (discussion with Frederic L W
+         Meunier).
+       + add link to mailing-list archive in announce.html.in, as done in
+         FAQ (prompted by question by Andrius Bentkus).
+       + improve manpage install by adjusting the "#include" examples to
+         show the ncurses-subdirectory used when --disable-overwrite option
+         is used.
+       + install an alias for "curses" to the ncurses manpage, tied to the
+         --with-curses-h configure option (suggested by Reuben Thomas).
+
 20110903
        + propagate error-returns from wresize, i.e., the internal
          increase_size and decrease_size functions through resize_term (report
