+20110430
+	+ modify rules in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to ensure that the PIC option
+	  is not used when building a static library (report by Nicolas
+	  Boulenguez):
+	+ Ada95 build-fix for big-endian architectures such as sparc.  This
+	  undoes one of the fixes from 20110319, which added an "Unused" member
+	  to representation clauses, replacing that with pragmas to suppress
+	  warnings about unused bits (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez):
+
+20110423
+	+ add check in test/configure for use_window, use_screen.
+	+ add configure-checks for getopt's variables, which may be declared
+	  as different types on some Unix systems.
+	+ add check in test/configure for some legacy curses types of the
+	  function pointer passed to tputs().
+	+ modify init_pair() to accept -1's for color value after
+	  assume_default_colors() has been called (Debian #337905).
+	+ modify test/background.c, adding commmand-line options to demonstrate
+	  assume_default_colors() and use_default_colors().
+
+20110416
+	+ modify configure script/source-code to only define _POSIX_SOURCE if
+	  the checks for sigaction and/or termios fail, and if _POSIX_C_SOURCE
+	  and _XOPEN_SOURCE are undefined (report by Valentin Ochs).
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20110409
+	+ fixes to build c++ binding with clang 3.0 (patch by Alexander
+	  Kolesen).
+	+ add check for unctrl.h in test/configure, to work around breakage in
+	  some ncurses packages.
+	+ add "--disable-widec" option to test/configure script.
+	+ add "--with-curses-colr" and "--with-curses-5lib" options to the
+	  test/configure script to address testing with very old machines.
+
+20110404 5.9 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+
+20110402
+	+ various build-fixes for the rpm/dpkg scripts.
+	+ add "--enable-rpath-link" option to Ada95/configure, to allow
+	  packages to suppress the rpath feature which is normally used for
+	  the in-tree build of sample programs.
+	+ corrected definition of libdir variable in Ada95/src/Makefile.in,
+	  needed for rpm script.
+	+ add "--with-shared" option to Ada95/configure script, to allow
+	  making the C-language parts of the binding use appropriate compiler
+	  options if building a shared library with gnat.
+
+20110329
+	> portability fixes for Ada95 binding:
+	+ add configure check to ensure that SIGINT works with gnat.  This is
+	  needed for the "rain" sample program.  If SIGINT does not work, omit
+	  that sample program.
+	+ correct typo in check of $PKG_CONFIG variable in Ada95/configure
+	+ add ncurses_compat.c, to supply functions used in the Ada95 binding
+	  which were added in 5.7 and later.
+	+ modify sed expression in CF_NCURSES_ADDON to eliminate a dependency
+	  upon GNU sed.
+
+20110326
+	+ add special check in Ada95/configure script for ncurses6 reentrant
+	  code.
+	+ regen Ada html documentation.
+	+ build-fix for Ada shared libraries versus the varargs workaround.
+	+ add rpm and dpkg scripts for Ada95 and test directories, for test
+	  builds.
+	+ update test/configure macros CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE and
+	  CF_X_ATHENA_LIBS.

+	  libraries, i.e., collections of .ali files.
+	+ make all dereferences in Ada95 samples explicit.
+	+ fix typo in comment in lib_add_wch.c (patch by Petr Pavlu).
+	+ add configure check for, ifdef's for math.h which is in a separate
+	  package on Solaris and potentially not installed (report by Petr
+	  Pavlu).
+	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+	+ improve type-checking in Ada95 by eliminating a few warning-suppress
+	  pragmas.
+	+ suppress unreferenced warnings.
+	+ make all dereferences in binding explicit.
+
+20110319
+	+ regen Ada html documentation.
+	+ change order of -I options from ncurses*-config script when the
+	  --disable-overwrite option was used, so that the subdirectory include
+	  is listed first.
+	+ modify the make-tar.sh scripts to add a MANIFEST and NEWS file.
+	+ modify configure script to provide value for HTML_DIR in
+	  Ada95/gen/Makefile.in, which depends on whether the Ada95 binding is
+	  distributed separately (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+	+ modify configure script to add -g and/or -O3 to ADAFLAGS if the
+	  CFLAGS for the build has these options.
+	+ amend change from 20070324, to not add 1 to the result of getmaxx
+	  and getmaxy in the Ada binding (report by Nicolas Boulenguez for
+	  thread in comp.lang.ada).
+	+ build-fix Ada95/samples for gnat 4.5
+	+ spelling fixes for Ada95/samples/explain.txt
+	> fixes for Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+	+ add item in Trace_Attribute_Set corresponding to TRACE_ATTRS.
+	+ add workaround for binding to set_field_type(), which uses varargs.
+	  The original binding from 990220 relied on the prevalent
+	  implementation of varargs which did not support or need va_copy().
+	+ add dependency on gen/Makefile.in needed for *-panels.ads
+	+ add Library_Options to library.gpr
+	+ add Languages to library.gpr, for gprbuild
+
+20110307
+	+ revert changes to limit-checks from 20110122 (Debian #616711).
+	> minor type-cleanup of Ada95 binding (Nicolas Boulenguez):
+	+ corrected a minor sign error in a field of Low_Level_Field_Type, to
+	  conform to form.h.
+	+ replaced C_Int by Curses_Bool as return type for some callbacks, see
+	  fieldtype(3FORM).
+	+ modify samples/sample-explain.adb to provide explicit message when
+	  explain.txt is not found.
+
+20110305
+	+ improve makefiles for Ada95 tree (patch by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+	+ fix an off-by-one error in _nc_slk_initialize() from 20100605 fixes
+	  for compiler warnings (report by Nicolas Boulenguez).
+	+ modify Ada95/gen/gen.c to declare unused bits in generated layouts,
+	  needed to compile when chtype is 64-bits using gnat 4.4.5
+

+
+20110226
+	+ update release notes, for 5.8.

+	  with write_file().
+	+ modify misc/run_tic.in to create parent directory, in case this is
+	  a new install of hashed database.
+	+ fix typo in Ada95/mk-1st.awk which causes error with original awk.
+
+20110220
+	+ configure script rpath fixes from xterm #269.

+	  e.g., when using that to configure the test-programs without the
+	  rpath feature (request by Sven Joachim).
+	+ repurpose "gnome" terminfo entries as "vte", retaining "gnome" items

+	  #267 changes.
+	+ add configure check to gnatmake, to accommodate cygwin.
+
+20101106
+	+ correct list of sub-directories needed in Ada95 tree for building as
+	  a separate package.
+	+ modify scripts in test-directory to improve builds as a separate

+
+20101023
+	+ correct parsing of relative tab-stops in tabs program (report by
+	  Philip Ganchev).
+	+ adjust configure script so that "t" is not added to library suffix
+	  when weak-symbols are used, allowing the pthread configuration to
+	  more closely match the non-thread naming (report by Werner Fink).
+	+ modify configure check for tic program, used for fallbacks, to a

+	  Joachim).
+	+ add a check in mk-dlls.sh.in to obtain the size of a pointer to
+	  distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit hosts.  The result is stored
+	  in mingw_arch
+
+20100925
+	+ add "XT" capability to entries for terminals that support both
+	  xterm-style mouse- and title-controls, for "screen" which
+	  special-cases TERM beginning with "xterm" or "rxvt" -TD

+	+ modify tic's -I/-C dump to reformat acsc strings into canonical form
+	  (sorted, unique mapping) (cf: 971004).
+	+ add configure check for pthread_kill(), needed for some old
+	  platforms.
+
+20100904

+	+ continue integrating changes to use gnatmake project files in Ada95
+	  + add configure --with-ada-sharedlib option, for the test_make rule.
+	  + move Ada95-related logic into aclocal.m4, since additional checks
+	    will be needed to distinguish old/new implementations of gnat.
+

+	  a read operation in wgetch() (Novell #540571, patch by Werner Fink).
+	+ drop mkdirs.sh, use "mkdir -p".
+	+ add configure option --disable-libtool-version, to use the
+	  "-version-number" feature which was added in libtool 1.5 (report by
+	  Peter Haering).  The default value for the option uses the newer
+	  feature, which makes libraries generated using libtool compatible
+	  with the standard builds of ncurses.

+	+ correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values
+	  (patch by David Benjamin).
+	+ fix most compiler warnings from clang.
+	+ amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is
+	  included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they
+	  may be defined by that route.

+	+ fix some strict compiler warnings in ncurses library.
+	+ modify configure macro CF_HEADER_PATH to not look for variations in
+	  the predefined include directories.
+	+ improve configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_GCC_WARNINGS to work
+	  with gcc 4.x's c89 alias, which gives warning messages for cases
+	  where older versions would produce an error.
+
+20100417
+	+ modify _nc_capcmp() to work with cancelled strings.
+	+ correct translation of "^" in _nc_infotocap(), used to transform
+	  terminfo to termcap strings 
+	+ add configure --disable-rpath-hack, to allow disabling the feature
+	  which adds rpath options for libraries in unusual places.
+	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by checking if the rpath option for a given
+	  directory was already added.
+	+ improve CF_RPATH_HACK_2 by using ldd to provide a standard list of
+	  directories (which will be ignored).
+
+20100410
+	+ improve win_driver.c handling of mouse:

+	  Ensure that Gpm_Close() is called in this case.
+
+20100320
+	+ rename atari and st52 terminfo entries to atari-old, st52-old, use

+	  option is not the same as --disable-leaks (GenToo #305889).
+	+ modify #define's for build-compiler to suppress cchar_t symbol from
+	  compile of make_hash and make_keys, improving cross-compilation of
+	  ncursesw (report by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer).
+	+ modify CF_MAN_PAGES configure macro to replace all occurrences of
+	  TPUT in tput.1's manpage (Debian #573597, report/analysis by Anders

+
+20100306
+	+ generate manpages for the *-config scripts, adapted from help2man
+	  (suggested by Sven Joachim).

+20100220
+	+ add make-tar.sh scripts to Ada95 and test subdirectories to help with
+	  making those separately distributable.
+	+ build-fix for static libraries without dlsym (Debian #556378).

+20100123
+	+ for term-driver configuration, ensure that the driver pointer is
+	  initialized in setupterm so that terminfo/termcap programs work.
+	+ amend fix for Debian #542031 to ensure that wattrset() returns only
+	  OK or ERR, rather than the attribute value (report by Miroslav
+	  Lichvar).

+
+20100102
+	+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
+	  most common case of SGR 0.
+	+ modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
+	  each call the preceding event until none are left.  When no more
+	  events remain, it will return ERR.
+
+20091227
+	+ change order of lookup in progs/tput.c, looking for terminfo data
+	  first.  This fixes a confusion between termcap "sg" and terminfo
+	  "sgr" or "sgr0", originally from 990123 changes, but exposed by
+	  20091114 fixes for hashing.  With this change, only "dl" and "ed" are

+20091128
+	+ modify mk-1st.awk to allow tinfo library to be built when term-driver
+	  is enabled.
+	+ add error-check to configure script to ensure that sp-funcs is
+	  enabled if term-driver is, since some internal interfaces rely upon
+	  this.
+
+20091121
+	+ fix case where progs/tput is used while sp-funcs is configure; this
+	  requires save/restore of out-character function from _nc_prescreen
+	  rather than the SCREEN structure (report by Charles Wilson).
+	+ fix typo in man/curs_trace.3x which caused incorrect symbolic links
+	+ improved configure macros CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_PROG_LINT.
+
+20091114
+
+	+ updated man/curs_trace.3x
+	+ limit hashing for termcap-names to 2-characters (Ubuntu #481740).

+	  for generic/interop support to form-library by Juergen Pfeifer
+
+20091031

+	  (patch by Eygene Ryabinkin, FreeBSD bin/136223).
+
+20091017

+	+ similar change for dg+ccc and dgunix+ccc
+
+20090927
+	+ move leak-checking for comp_captab.c into _nc_leaks_tinfo() since
+	  that module since 20090711 is in libtinfo.
+	+ add configure option --enable-term-driver, to allow compiling with
+	  terminal-driver.  That is used in MinGW port, and (being somewhat
+	  more complicated) is an experimental alternative to the conventional
+	  termlib internals.  Currently, it requires the sp-funcs feature to
+	  be enabled.
+	+ completed integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer in ncurses
+	  library (some work remains for forms library).
+
+20090919

+	  test/test_addwstr.c
+	  test/test_addchstr.c
+	  test/test_add_wchstr.c
+	+ correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when
+	  inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used
+	  did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
+
+20090906
+	+ fix typo s/is_timeout/is_notimeout/ which made "man is_notimeout" not
+	  work.
+	+ add null-pointer checks to other opaque-functions.
+	+ add is_pad() and is_subwin() functions for opaque access to WINDOW

+	  broken in 20090509 merging.
+	+ modify wgetch() to ensure it checks SIGWINCH when it gets an error
+	  in non-blocking mode (patch by Clemens Ladisch).
+	+ use PATH_SEPARATOR symbol when substituting into run_tic.sh, to
+	  help with builds on non-Unix platforms such as OS/2 EMX.
+	+ modify scripting for misc/run_tic.sh to test configure script's
+	  $cross_compiling variable directly rather than comparing host/build
+	  compiler names (prompted by comment in GenToo #249363).
+	+ fix configure script option --with-database, which was coded as an
+	  enable-type switch.
+	+ build-fixes for --srcdir (report by Frederic L W Meunier).
+
+20090808
+	+ separate _nc_find_entry() and _nc_find_type_entry() from
+	  implementation details of hash function.
+
+20090803
+	+ add tabs.1 to man/man_db.renames
+	+ modify lib_addch.c to compensate for removal of wide-character test

+	+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+
+20090718

+	  20070704 changes.
+	+ modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
+	+ make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
+	  change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
+	+ modify test-programs, e.g,.  test/view.c, to address subtle
+	  differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
+	  values.
+	+ modify length returned by getcchar() to count the trailing null
+	  which is documented in X/Open (cf: 20020427).

+	+ change install for adacurses-config to provide additional flavors
+	  such as adacursesw-config, for ncursesw (GenToo #167849).
+
+20090105
+	+ remove undeveloped feature in ncurses-config.in for setting
+	  prefix variable.
+	+ recent change to ncurses-config.in did not take into account the
+	  --disable-overwrite option, which sets $includedir to the

+	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to eliminate a dependency on rpath when
+	  deciding whether to add $LIBS to --libs output; that should be shown
+	  for the ncurses and tinfo libraries without taking rpath into
+	  account.
+	+ fix an overlooked change from $AR_OPTS to $ARFLAGS in mk-1st.awk,
+	  used in static libraries (report by Marty Jack).

+	+ add a configure-time check to pick a suitable value for
+	  CC_SHARED_OPTS for Solaris (report by Dagobert Michelsen).
+	+ add configure --with-pkg-config and --enable-pc-files options, along
+	  with misc/gen-pkgconfig.in which can be used to generate ".pc" files
+	  for pkg-config (request by Jan Engelhardt).
+	+ use $includedir symbol in misc/ncurses-config.in, add --includedir
+	  option.
+	+ change makefiles to use $ARFLAGS rather than $AR_OPTS, provide a
+	  configure check to detect whether a "-" is needed before "ar"
+	  options.
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
+		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+
+20081227
+	+ modify mk-1st.awk to work with extra categories for tinfo library.
+	+ modify configure script to allow building shared libraries with gcc
+	  on AIX 5 or 6 (adapted from patch by Lital Natan).
+
+20081220
+	+ modify to omit the opaque-functions from lib_gen.o when
+	  --disable-ext-funcs is used.

+	  wrapping.
+	+ modify ncurses 'F' test to demo wborder_set() with colored lines.
+	+ 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

+	+ fixes from NetBSD port at

+	+ 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
+	  obtain a printable version of the control character, but was not
+	  passing color or video attributes.
+	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'a' test, using unctrl() more consistently to
+	  display meta-characters.
+	+ turn on _XOPEN_CURSES definition in curses.h
+	+ add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
+	+ correct use of key_name() in test/ncurses.c 'A' test, which only

+
+20081102 5.7 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
+
+20081025
+	+ add a manpage to discuss memory leaks.
+	+ add support for shared libraries for QNX (other than libtool, which
+	  does not work well on that platform).
+	+ build-fix for QNX C++ binding.
+
+20081018
+	+ build-fixes for OS/2 EMX.
+	+ modify form library to accept control characters such as newline
+	  in set_field_buffer(), which is compatible with Solaris (report by
+	  Nit Khair).
+	+ modify configure script to assume --without-hashed-db when
+	  --disable-database is used.
+	+ add "-e" option in ncurses/Makefile.in when generating source-files
+	  to force earlier exit if the build environment fails unexpectedly

+	  CF_LIBUTF8.
+
+20081012

+	+ add logic to tic for cancelling strings in user-defined capabilities,
+	  overlooked til now.
+
+20081011
+	+ regenerated html documentation.
+	+ add -m and -s options to test/keynames.c and test/key_names.c to test
+	  the meta() function with keyname() or key_name(), respectively.
+	+ correct return value of key_name() on error; it is null.
+	+ document some unresolved issues for rpath and pthreads in TO-DO.
+	+ fix a missing prototype for ioctl() on OpenBSD in tset.c
+	+ add configure option --disable-tic-depends to make explicit whether
+	  tic library depends on ncurses/ncursesw library, amends change from
+	  20080823 (prompted by Debian #501421).
+
+20081004
+	+ some build-fixes for configure --disable-ext-funcs (incomplete, but
+	  works for C/C++ parts).
+	+ improve configure-check for awks unable to handle large strings, e.g.
+	  AIX 5.1 whose awk silently gives up on large printf's.
+
+20080927
+	+ fix build for --with-dmalloc by workaround for redefinition of
+	  strndup between string.h and dmalloc.h
+	+ fix build for --disable-sigwinch
+	+ add environment variable NCURSES_GPM_TERMS to allow override to use
+	  GPM on terminals other than "linux", etc.
+	+ disable GPM mouse support when $TERM does not happen to contain
+	  "linux", since Gpm_Open() no longer limits its assertion to terminals
+	  that it might handle, e.g., within "screen" in xterm.
+	+ reset mouse file-descriptor when unloading GPM library (report by
+	  Miroslav Lichvar).
+	+ fix build for --disable-leaks --enable-widec --with-termlib
+	> patch by Juergen Pfeifer:
+	+ use improved initialization for soft-label keys in Ada95 sample code.
+	+ discard internal symbol _nc_slk_format (unused since 20080112).
+	+ move call of slk_paint_info() from _nc_slk_initialize() to
+	  slk_intern_refresh(), improving initialization.
+
+20080925
+	+ fix bug in mouse code for GPM from 20080920 changes (reported in
+	  Debian #500103, also Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20080920
+	+ fix shared-library rules for cygwin with tic- and tinfo-libraries.
+	+ fix a memory leak when failure to connect to GPM.
+	+ correct check for notimeout() in wgetch() (report on linux.redhat

+	+ adapt ifdef's from library to make test/view.c build when mbrtowc()
+	  is unavailable, e.g., with HPUX 10.20.
+	+ add configure check for wcsrtombs, mbsrtowcs, which are used in
+	  test/ncurses.c, and use wcstombs, mbstowcs instead if available,
+	  fixing build of ncursew for HPUX 11.00
+
+20080830
+	+ fixes to make Ada95 demo_panels() example work.
+	+ modify Ada95 'rain' test program to accept keyboard commands like the
+	  C-version.
+	+ modify BeOS-specific ifdef's to build on Haiku (patch by Scott
+	  Mccreary).
+	+ add configure-check to see if the std namespace is legal for cerr
+	  and endl, to fix a build issue with Tru64.
+	+ consistently use NCURSES_BOOL in lib_gen.c
+	+ filter #line's from lib_gen.c
+	+ change delimiter in MKlib_gen.sh from '%' to '@', to avoid
+	  substitution by IBM xlc to '#' as part of its extensions to digraphs.
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
+		http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config
+	  (caveat - its maintainer removed support for older Linux systems).
+
+20080823
+	+ modify configure check for pthread library to work with OSF/1 5.1,
+	  which uses #define's to associate its header and library.
+	+ use pthread_mutexattr_init() for initializing pthread_mutexattr_t,
+	  makes threaded code work on HPUX 11.23

+	  library (patch by Dr Werner Fink).
+	+ correct manpage for menu_fore() which gave wrong default for
+	  the attribute used to display a selected entry (report by Mike Gran).
+	+ add Eterm-256color, Eterm-88color and rxvt-88color (prompted by
+	  Debian #495815) -TD
+
+20080816
+	+ add configure option --enable-weak-symbols to turn on new feature.
+	+ add configure-check for availability of weak symbols.
+	+ modify linkage with pthread library to use weak symbols so that
+	  applications not linked to that library will not use the mutexes,
+	  etc.  This relies on gcc, and may be platform-specific (patch by Dr
+	  Werner Fink).
+	+ add note to INSTALL to document limitation of renaming of tic library
+	  using the --with-ticlib configure option (report by Dr Werner Fink).
+	+ document (in manpage) why tputs does not detect I/O errors (prompted
+	  by comments by Samuel Thibault).
+	+ fix remaining warnings from Klocwork report.
+
+20080804
+	+ modify _nc_panelhook() data to account for a permanent memory leak.
+	+ fix memory leaks in test/demo_menus
+	+ fix most warnings from Klocwork tool (report by Larry Zhou).
+	+ modify configure script CF_XOPEN_SOURCE macro to add case for
+	  "dragonfly" from xterm #236 changes.
+	+ modify configure script --with-hashed-db to let $LIBS override the
+	  search for the db library (prompted by report by Samson Pierre).
+
+20080726
+	+ build-fixes for gcc 4.3.1 (changes to gnat "warnings", and C inlining
+	  thresholds).
+
+20080713
+	+ build-fix (reports by Christian Ebert, Funda Wang).
+
+20080712
+	+ compiler-warning fixes for Solaris.
+
+20080705
+	+ use NCURSES_MOUSE_MASK() in definition of BUTTON_RELEASE(), etc., to
+	  make those work properly with the "--enable-ext-mouse" configuration
+	  (cf: 20050205).
+	+ improve documentation of build-cc options in INSTALL.
+	+ work-around a bug in gcc 4.2.4 on AIX, which does not pass the
+	  -static/-dynamic flags properly to linker, causing test/bs to
+	  not link.
+
+20080628
+	+ correct some ifdef's needed for the broken-linker configuration.
+	+ make debugging library's $BAUDRATE feature work for termcap
+	  interface.
+	+ make $NCURSES_NO_PADDING feature work for termcap interface (prompted
+	  by comment on FreeBSD mailing list).

+
+20080621
+	+ regenerated html documentation.
+	+ expand manpage description of parameters for form_driver() and

+
+20080614
+	+ modify test/ditto.c to illustrate multi-threaded use_screen().
+	+ change CC_SHARED_OPTS from -KPIC to -xcode=pic32 for Solaris.
+	+ add "-shared" option to MK_SHARED_LIB for gcc on Solaris (report
+	  by Poor Yorick).
+
+20080607
+	+ finish changes to wgetch(), making it switch as needed to the
+	  window's actual screen when calling wrefresh() and wgetnstr().  That
+	  allows wgetch() to get used concurrently in different threads with
+	  some minor restrictions, e.g., the application should not delete a
+	  window which is being used in a wgetch().
+	+ simplify mutex's, combining the window- and screen-mutex's.
+
+20080531
+	+ modify wgetch() to use the screen which corresponds to its window
+	  parameter rather than relying on SP; some dependent functions still
+	  use SP internally.
+	+ factor out most use of SP in lib_mouse.c, using parameter.
+	+ add internal _nc_keyname(), replacing keyname() to associate with a
+	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
+	+ add internal _nc_unctrl(), replacing unctrl() to associate with a
+	  particular SCREEN rather than the global SP.
+	+ add internal _nc_tracemouse(), replacing _tracemouse() to eliminate
+	  its associated global buffer _nc_globals.tracemse_buf now in SCREEN.
+	+ add internal _nc_tracechar(), replacing _tracechar() to use SCREEN in
+	  preference to the global _nc_globals.tracechr_buf buffer.
+
+20080524
+	+ modify _nc_keypad() to make it switch temporarily as needed to the
+	  screen which must be updated.
+	+ wrap cur_term variable to help make _nc_keymap() thread-safe, and
+	  always set the screen's copy of this variable in set_curterm().
+	+ restore curs_set() state after endwin()/refresh() (report/patch
+	  Miroslav Lichvar)
+
+20080517
+	+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
+	  --enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
+	  the ncurses ABI 5.
+	+ corrected manpage description of setcchar() (discussion with
+	  Emanuele Giaquinta).
+	+ fix for adding a non-spacing character at the beginning of a line
+	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20080503
+	+ modify screen.* terminfo entries using new screen+fkeys to fix
+	  overridden keys in screen.rxvt (Debian #478094) -TD
+	+ modify internal interfaces to reduce wgetch()'s dependency on the
+	  global SP.
+	+ simplify some loops with macros each_screen(), each_window() and
+	  each_ripoff().
+
+20080426
+	+ continue modifying test/ditto.c toward making it demonstrate
+	  multithreaded use_screen(), using fifos to pass data between screens.
+	+ fix typo in form.3x (report by Mike Gran).
+
+20080419
+	+ add screen.rxvt terminfo entry -TD
+	+ modify tic -f option to format spaces as \s to prevent them from
+	  being lost when that is read back in unformatted strings.
+	+ improve test/ditto.c, using a "talk"-style layout.
+
+20080412
+	+ change test/ditto.c to use openpty() and xterm.
+	+ add locks for copywin(), dupwin(), overlap(), overlay() on their
+	  window parameters.
+	+ add locks for initscr() and newterm() on updates to the SCREEN
+	  pointer.
+	+ finish table in curs_thread.3x manpage.
+
+20080405
+	+ begin table in curs_thread.3x manpage describing the scope of data
+	  used by each function (or symbol) for threading analysis.
+	+ add null-pointer checks to setsyx() and getsyx() (prompted by
+	  discussion by Martin v. Lowis and Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven on
+	  python-dev2 mailing list).
+
+20080329
+	+ add null-pointer checks in set_term() and delscreen().
+	+ move _nc_windows into _nc_globals, since windows can be pads, which
+	  are not associated with a particular screen.
+	+ change use_screen() to pass the SCREEN* parameter rather than
+	  stdscr to the callback function.
+	+ force libtool to use tag for 'CC' in case it does not detect this,
+	  e.g., on aix when using CC=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0-gcc
+	  (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+	+ override OBJEXT to "lo" when building with libtool, to work on
+	  platforms such as AIX where libtool may use a different suffix for
+	  the object files than ".o" (report/patch by Michael Haubenwallner).
+	+ add configure --with-pthread option, for building with the POSIX
+	  thread library.
+
+20080322
+	+ fill in extended-color pair two more places in wbkgrndset() and
+	  waddch_nosync() (prompted by Sedeno's patch).
+	+ fill in extended-color pair in _nc_build_wch() to make colors work
+	  for wide-characters using extended-colors (patch by Alejandro R
+	  Sedeno).
+	+ add x/X toggles to ncurses.c C color test to test/demo
+	  wide-characters with extended-colors.
+	+ add a/A toggles to ncurses.c c/C color tests.
