+20191228
+	+ in gen-pkgconfig.in, move the RPATH_LIST and PRIVATE_LIBS assignments
+	  past the various prefix/libdir assignments, to allow for using those
+	  symbols, e.g., as done via CF_SHARED_OPTS.
+	+ improve ncurses*-config and pc-files by filtering out linker-specs.
+	+ modify test-package to more closely match Fedora's configuration
+	  for PIE/PIC feature and debug-packages.
+
+20191221
+	+ correct pathname used in Ada95 sample programs for explain.txt, to
+	  work with test-packages.
+	+ improve tracemunch:
+	  + keep track of TERMINAL* values
+	  + if tracing was first turned on after initialization, attempt to
+	    show distinct screen, window and terminal names anyway.
+	+ ensure that GCC_NORETURN is defined in term.h, because the prototype
+	  for exit_terminfo() uses it (report by Werner Fink).
+
+20191214
+	+ add exit_curses() and exit_terminfo() to replace internal symbols for
+	  leak-checking.
+
+20191207
+	+ fix a few warnings for test-package builds
+	+ add curses_trace(), to replace trace().
+
+20191130
+	+ add portability section to curs_getcchar manpage (prompted by
+	  discussion with Nick Black).
+	+ improve portability discussion of ACS characters in curs_addch
+	  manpage.
+	+ improve typography for double-quotes in manpages.
+
+20191123
+	+ fix typo for MinGW rpm test-package.
+	+ workaround in rpm specs for NFS problems in Fedora 31.
+
+20191116
+	+ modify ncurses/Makefile.in to fix a case where Debian/testing changes
+	  to the ld --as-needed configuration broke ncurses-examples test
+	  packages.
+	+ drop library-dependency on psapi for MinGW port, since win_driver.c
+	  defines PSAPI_VERSION to 2, making it use GetProcessImageFileName
+	  from kernel32.dll (prompted by patch by Simon Sobish, cf: 20140503).
+
+20191109
+	+ add warning-check in tic for terminals with parm_dch vs parm_ich.
+	+ drop ich1 from rxvt-basic, Eterm and mlterm to improve compatibility
+	  with old non-curses programs -TD
+	+ reviewed st 0.8.2, updated some details -TD
+	+ use ansi+rep several places -TD
+	+ corrected tic's check for ich1 (report by Sebastian J. Bronner,
+	  cf: 20020901).
+
+20191102
+	+ check parameter of set_escdelay, return ERR if negative.
+	+ check parameter of set_tabsize, return ERR if not greater than zero
+	  (report/patch by Anthony Sottile).
+	+ revise CF_ADD_LIBS macro to prepend rather than append libraries.
+	+ add "xterm-mono" to help packagers (report by Sven Joachim) -TD
+
+20191026
+	+ add a note in man/curs_add_wch.3x about Unicode terminology for the
+	  line-drawing characters (report by Nick Black).
+	+ improve comment in lib_tgoto.c regarding the use of \200 where a
+	  \0 would be intended by the caller (report by "64 bit", cf: 20000923).
+	+ modify linux-16color to accommodate Linux console driver change in
+	  early 2018 (report by Dino Petrucci).
+
+20191019
+	+ modify make_hash to not require --disable-leaks, to simplify building
+	  with address-sanitizer.
+	+ modify tic to exit if it cannot remove a conflicting name, because
+	  treating that as a partial success can cause an infinite loop in
+	  use-resolution (report/testcase by Hongxu Chen, cf: 20111001).
+
+20191015
+	+ improve buffer-checks in captoinfo.c, for some cases when the
+	  input string is shorter than expected.
+	> fix two errata in tic (report/testcases by Hongxu Chen):
+	+ check for missing character after backslash in write_it
+	+ check for missing characters after "%>" when converting from termcap
+	  syntax (cf: 980530).
+
 20191012
 	+ amend recent changes to ncurses*-config and pc-files to filter out
 	  Debian linker-flags (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20150516).
