+20200808
+	+ improve discussion of the system's tic utility when used as part
+	  of cross-compiling (discussion with Keith Marshall).
+	+ modify configuration checks for build-time tic/infocmp to use
+	  AC_CHECK_TOOL. That can still be overridden by --with-tic-path and
+	  --with-infocmp-path when fallbacks are used, but even if not using
+	  fallbacks, the improved check may help with cross-compiling
+	  (discussion with Keith Marshall).
+	+ other build-fixes for Ada95 with MinGW.
+	+ modify Ada95 source-generation utility to write to a file given as
+	  parameter rather than to the standard output, allowing builds with
+	  MinGW.
+
+20200801
+	+ remove remaining parts of checks for ISC Unix (cf: 20121006).
+	+ add user32.lib to LDFLAGS for Visual Studio C++ configuration
+	  (discussion with "Maarten Anonymous").
+	+ modify MKkey_defs.sh to hide ncurses' definition of KEY_EVENTS to
+	  reduce Visual Studio C++ redefinition warnings.
+	+ improve/update checks for external functions in test/configure
+
+20200725
+	+ set LINK_TESTS in CF_SHARED_OPTS for msvc (patch by
+	  "Maarten Anonymous")
+	+ improved workaround for redefinition-warnings for KEY_EVENT.
+	+ improve man/term.5 section on legacy storage format (report by
+	  Florian Weimer).
+
+20200718
+	+ reduce redefinition-warnings for KEY_EVENT when building with Visual
+	  Studio C++.
+	+ define NCURSES_STATIC when compiling programs to link with static
+	  libraries, to work with MinGW vs Visual Studio C++.
+	> additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
+	  (reports/patches by "Maarten Anonymous")
+	+ modify c++/Makefile.in to set the current directory while compiling
+	  the main program, so the linker can find related objects.
+	+ several changes to allow the c++/demo program to compile/link.
+	+ change an ifdef in test-directory, to use VC++ wide-character funcs.
+
+20200711
+	+ fix pound-sign mapping in acsc of linux2.6 entry (report by Ingo
+	  Bruckl).
+	+ additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
+	  (reports/patches by "Maarten Anonymous")
+	+ build-improvements for Windows 10 and MinGW (patch by Juergen
+	  Pfeifer).
+	+ fix a typo in curs_printw.3x (patch by William Pursell).
+	+ fix two errors in infotocap which allowed indexing outside the
+	  buffer (report/testcases by Zhang Gan).
+	+ update length of strings in infocmp's usage function to restore a
+	  trailing null on the longest string (report/testcase by Zhang Gen).
+
+20200704
+	+ modify version-check with Ada generics to use the same pattern as in
+	  the check for supported gnat versions (report by Pascal Pignard).
+	> additional changes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2
+	  (patches by "Maarten Anonymous"):
+	+ adjust headers/declarations to provide for "dllimport" vs "dllexport"
+	  declarations when constructing DLLs, to worko with Visual Studio C++.
+
 20200627
 	+ build-fixes for gnat 10.1.1, whose gnatmake drops integration with
 	  gprbuild.
