+20211106
+	+ improve check in misc/Makefile.in for empty $PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
+	+ modify wnoutrefresh to call pnoutrefresh if its parameter is a pad,
+	  rather than treating it as an error, and modify new_panel to permit
+	  its window-parameter to be a pad (report by Giorgos Xou).
+	+ fix a memory-leak in del_curterm (prompted by discussion with Bram
+	  Moolenaar, cf: 20210821).
+
+20211030
+	+ simplify some references to WINDOWS._flags using macros.
+	+ add a "check" rule in Ada95 makefile, to help with test-packages.
+	+ build-fix for cross-compiling to MingW, conditionally add -lssp
+
+20211026
+	+ corrected regex needed for older pkg-config used in Solaris 10.
+	+ amend configure option's auto-search to account for systems where
+	  none of the directories known to pkg-config exist, adapted from
+	  mailing-list comment (report by Milan P. Stanic).
+
+20211021 6.3 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+	+ update release notes
+	+ add "ncu2openbsd" script, to illustrate how to update an OpenBSD
+	  system to use a current ncurses release.
+
+20211018
+	+ check for screen size-change in scr_init() and scr_restore(), in case
+	  a screen dump does not match the current screen dimensions (report by
+	  Frank Tkalcevic).
+
+20211017
+	+ amend change for pkg-config to account for "none" being returned in
+	  the libdir-path result rather than "no" (report by Gabriele Balducci).
+
+20211016
+	+ build-fix for pmake with libtool.
+	+ improve make-tar.sh scripts, adding COPYING to tar file, and clean up
+	  shellcheck warnings.
+	+ add link for "reset6" manpage in test-package ncurses6-doc
+	+ revise configure option --with-pkg-config-libdir, using the actual
+	  search path from pkg-config or pkgconf using the output from --debug
+	  (report by Pascal Pignard).
+	+ freeze ABI in ".map" files.
+
+20211009
+	+ implement "+m" option in tabs program.
+	+ fill in some details for infoton -TD
+	+ fix spelling/consistency in several descriptions -TD
+	+ use vt420+lrmm in vt420 -TD
+	+ modify save_tty_settings() to avoid opening /dev/tty for cases other
+	  than reset/init, e.g., for clear.
+	+ modify output of "toe -as" to show first description found rather
+	  than the last.
+	+ improve tic checks for number of parameters of smglp, smgrp, smgtp,
+	  and smgbp (cf: 20020525).
+	+ correct off-by-one comparison in last_char(), which did not allow
+	  special case of ":" in a terminfo description field (cf: 20120407).
+	+ remove check in tic that assumes that none or both parameterized and
+	  non-parameterized margin-setting capabilities are present
+	  (cf: 20101002).
+
+20211002
+	+ use return-value from vsnprintf to reallocate as needed to allow for
+	  buffers larger than the screen size (report by "_RuRo_").
+	+ modify tset "-q" option to refrain from modifying terminal modes, to
+	  match the documentation.
+	+ add section on margins to terminfo.5, adapted from X/Open Curses.
+	+ make tput/tset warning messages consistently using alias names when
+	  those are used, rather than the underlying program's name.
+	+ improve tput usage message for aliases such as clear, by eliminating
+	  tput-specific portions.
+	+ add a check in toe to ensure that a "termcap file" is text rather
+	  than binary.
+	+ further build-fixes for OpenBSD 6.9, whose header files differ from
+	  the other BSDs.
+
+20210925
+	+ add kbeg to xterm+keypad to accommodate termcap applications -TD
+	+ add smglp and smgrp to vt420+lrmm, to provide useful data for the
+	  "tabs" +m option -TD

+	  reference of anonymous struct typedef.
+	+ modify tput to allow multiple commands per line.
