+20141220
+	+ updated Ada95/configure with macro changes from 20141213
+	+ tie configure options --with-abi-version and --with-versioned-syms
+	  together, so that ABI 6 libraries have distinct symbol versions from
+	  the ABI 5 libraries.
+	+ replace obsolete/nonworking link to man2html with current one,
+	  regenerate html-manpages.
+
+20141213
+	+ modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to add -I option for include-directory
+	  when using both --prefix and --disable-overwrite (report by Misty
+	  De Meo).
+	+ add configure option --with-pc-suffix to allow minor renaming of
+	  ".pc" files and the corresponding library.  Use this in the test
+	  package for ncurses6.
+	+ modify configure script so that if pkg-config is not installed, it
+	  is still possible to install ".pc" files (report by Misty De Meo).
+	+ updated ".sym" files, removing symbols which are marked as "local"
+	  in the corresponding ".map" files.
+	+ updated ".map" files to reflect move of comp_captab and comp_hash
+	  from tic-library to tinfo-library in 20090711 (report by Sven
+	  Joachim).
+
+20141206
+	+ updated ".map" files so that each symbol that may be shared across
+	  the different library configurations has the same label.  Some
+	  review is needed to ensure these are really compatible.
+	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to work around change in development version of
+	  gcc introduced here:
+		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-06/msg02185.html
+		  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg00236.html
+	  (reports by Marcus Shawcroft, Maohui Lei).
+	+ improved configure macro CF_SUBDIR_PATH, from lynx changes.
+
+20141129
+	+ improved ".map" files by generating them with a script that builds
+	  ncurses with several related configurations and merges the results.
+	  A further refinement is planned, to make the tic- and tinfo-library
+	  symbols use the same versions across each of the four configurations
+	  which are represented (reports by Sven Joachim, Werner Fink).
+
+20141115
+	+ improve description of limits for color values and color pairs in
+	  curs_color.3x (prompted by patch by Tim van der Molen).
+	+ add VERSION file, using first field in that to record the ABI version
+	  used for configure --with-libtool --disable-libtool-version
+	+ add configure options for applying the ".map" and ".sym" files to
+	  the ncurses, form, menu and panel libraries.
+	+ add ".map" and ".sym" files to show exported symbols, e.g., for
+	  symbol-versioning.
+
+20141101
+	+ improve strict compiler-warnings by adding a cast in TRACE_RETURN
+	  and making a new TRACE_RETURN1 macro for cases where the cast does
+	  not apply.
+
+20141025
+	+ in-progress changes to integrate the win32 console driver with the
+	  msys2 configuration.
+
 20141018
 	+ reviewed terminology 0.6.1, add function key definitions.  None of
 	  the vt100-compatibility issues were improved -TD
