+20121201
+	+ also replace MinGW's wctomb(), fixing a problem with setcchar().
+	+ modify test/view.c to load UTF-8 when built with MinGW by using
+	  regular win32 API because the MinGW functions mblen() and mbtowc()
+	  do not work.
+
+20121124
+	+ correct order of color initialization versus display in some of the
+	  test-programs, e.g., test_addstr.c
+	> fixes based on Coverity report:
+	+ delete windows on exit from some of the test-programs.
+
+20121117
+	> fixes based on Coverity report:
+	+ add missing braces around FreeAndNull in two places.
+	+ various fixes in test/ncurses.c
+	+ improve limit-checks in tinfo/make_hash.c, tinfo/read_entry.c
+	+ correct malloc size in progs/infocmp.c
+	+ guard against negative array indices in test/knight.c
+	+ fix off-by-one limit check in test/color_name.h
+	+ add null-pointer check in progs/tabs.c, test/bs.c, test/demo_forms.c,
+	  test/inchs.c
+	+ fix memory-leak in tinfo/lib_setup.c, progs/toe.c,
+	  test/clip_printw.c, test/demo_menus.c
+	+ delete unused windows in test/chgat.c, test/clip_printw.c,
+	  test/insdelln.c, test/newdemo.c on error-return.
+
+20121110
+	+ modify configure macro CF_INCLUDE_DIRS to put $CPPFLAGS after the
+	  local -I include options in case someone has set conflicting -I
+	  options in $CPPFLAGS (prompted by patch for ncurses/Makefile.in by
+	  Vassili Courzakis).
+	+ modify the ncurses*-config scripts to eliminate relative paths from
+	  the RPATH_LIST variable, e.g., "../lib" as used in installing shared
+	  libraries or executables.
+
+20121102
+	+ realign these related pages:
+	    curs_add_wchstr.3x
+	    curs_addchstr.3x
+	    curs_addstr.3x
+	    curs_addwstr.3x
+	  and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
+	  length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
+	  (report by Reuben Thomas).
+	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
+	+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
+	+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
+	+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
+	  based on testing with tack -TD
+	+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
+	  starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
+
+20121026
+	+ improve malloc/realloc checking (prompted by discussion in Redhat
+	  #866989).
+	+ add ncurses test-program as "ncurses6" to the rpm- and dpkg-scripts.
+	+ updated configure macros CF_GCC_VERSION and CF_WITH_PATHLIST.  The
+	  first corrects pattern used for Mac OS X's customization of gcc.
+
+20121017
+	+ fix change to _nc_scroll_optimize(), which incorrectly freed memory 
+	  (Redhat #866989).
+
+20121013
+	+ add vte-2012, gnome-2012, making these the defaults for vte/gnome
+	  (patch by Christian Persch).
+
+20121006
+	+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION to work around Debian's customization of gcc
+	  --version message.
+	+ improve configure macros as done in byacc:
+	  + drop 2.13 compatibility; use 2.52.xxxx version only since EMX port
+	    has used that for a while.
+	  + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE's to allow autoheader to run, i.e.,
+	    for experimental use.
+	  + remove unused configure macros.
+	+ modify configure script and makefiles to quiet new autoconf warning
+	  for LIBS_TO_MAKE variable.
+	+ modify configure script to show $PATH_SEPARATOR variable.
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20120922
+	+ modify setupterm to set its copy of TERM to "unknown" if configured
+	  for the terminal driver and TERM was null or empty.
+	+ modify treatment of TERM variable for MinGW port to allow explicit
+	  use of the windows console driver by checking if $TERM is set to
+	  "#win32con" or an abbreviation of that.
+	+ undo recent change to fallback definition of vsscanf() to build with
+	  older Solaris compilers (cf: 20120728).
+
 20120908
 	+ add test-screens to test/ncurses to show 256-characters at a time,
-	  to help with mingw port.
+	  to help with MinGW port.
 
 20120903
 	+ simplify varargs logic in lib_printw.c; va_copy is no longer needed
 	  there.
-	+ modifications for mingw port to make wide-character display usable.
+	+ modifications for MinGW port to make wide-character display usable.
 
 20120902
