+20110813
+	+ add substitution for $RPATH_LIST to misc/ncurses-config.in
+	+ improve performance of tic with hashed-database by caching the
+	  database connection, using atexit() to cleanup.
+	+ modify treatment of 2-character aliases at the beginning of termcap
+	  entries so they are not counted in use-resolution, since these are
+	  guaranteed to be unique.  Also ignore these aliases when reporting
+	  the primary name of the entry (cf: 20040501)
+	+ double-check gn (generic) flag in terminal descriptions to
+	  accommodate old/buggy termcap databases which misused that feature.
+	+ minor fixes to _nc_tgetent(), ensure buffer is initialized even on
+	  error-return.
+
+20110807
+	+ improve rpath fix from 20110730 by ensuring that the new $RPATH_LIST
+	  variable is defined in the makefiles which use it.
+	+ build-fix for DragonFlyBSD's pkgsrc in test/configure script.
+	+ build-fixes for NetBSD 5.1 with termcap support enabled.
+	+ corrected k9 in dg460-ansi, add other features based on manuals -TD
+	+ improve trimming of whitespace at the end of terminfo/termcap output
+	  from tic/infocmp.
+	+ when writing termcap source, ensure that colons in the description
+	  field are translated to a non-delimiter, i.e., "=".
+	+ add "-0" option to tic/infocmp, to make the termcap/terminfo source
+	  use a single line.
+	+ add a null-pointer check when handling the $CC variable.
+
+20110730
+	+ modify configure script and makefiles in c++ and progs to allow the
+	  directory used for rpath option to be overridden, e.g., to work
+	  around updates to the variables used by tic during an install.
+	+ add -K option to tic/infocmp, to provide stricter BSD-compatibility
+	  for termcap output.
+	+ add _nc_strict_bsd variable in tic library which controls the
+	  "strict" BSD termcap compatibility from 20110723, plus these
+	  features:
+	  + allow escapes such as "\8" and "\9" when reading termcap
+	  + disallow "\a", "\e", "\l", "\s" and "\:" escapes when reading
+	    termcap files, passing through "a", "e", etc.
+	  + expand "\:" as "\072" on output.
+	+ modify _nc_get_token() to reset the token's string value in case
+	  there is a string-typed token lacking the "=" marker.
+	+ fix a few memory leaks in _nc_tgetent.
+	+ fix a few places where reading from a termcap file could refer to
+	  freed memory.
+	+ add an overflow check when converting terminfo/termcap numeric
+	  values, since terminfo stores those in a short, and they must be
+	  positive.
+	+ correct internal variables used for translating to termcap "%>"
+	  feature, and translating from termcap %B to terminfo, needed by
+	  tctest (cf: 19991211).
+	+ amend a minor fix to acsc when loading a termcap file to separate it
+	  from warnings needed for tic (cf: 20040710)
+	+ modify logic in _nc_read_entry() and _nc_read_tic_entry() to allow
+	  a termcap file to be handled via TERMINFO_DIRS.
+	+ modify _nc_infotocap() to include non-mandatory padding when
+	  translating to termcap.
+	+ modify _nc_read_termcap_entry(), passing a flag in the case where
+	  getcap is used, to reduce interactive warning messages.
+
 20110723
 	+ add a check in start_color() to limit color-pairs to 256 when
 	  extended colors are not supported (patch by David Benjamin).
