+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.
+	+ correct buffer-length in test/color_name.h
+
+20200613
+	+ update list of functions in ncurses.3x
+	+ move dlclose() call from lib_mouse.c to delscreen() to avoid a case
+	  in the former which could be called from SIGTSTP handler (Debian
+	  #961097).
+
+20200606
+	+ add xterm+256color2, xterm+88color2, to deprecate nonstandard usage
+	  in xterm+256color, xterm+88color -TD
+	+ add shifted Linux console keys in linux+sfkeys entry for
+	  screen.linux (report by Alexandre Montaron).
+	+ use vt100+enq in screen (report by Alexandre Montaron).
+	+ add screen.linux-s alias (suggested by Alexandre Montaron).
+
+20200531
+	+ correct configure version-check/warnng for g++ to allow for 10.x
+	+ re-enable "bel" in konsole-base (report by Nia Huang)
+	+ add linux-s entry (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+	+ drop long-obsolete convert_configure.pl 
+	+ add test/test_parm.c, for checking tparm changes.
+	+ improve parameter-checking for tparm, adding function _nc_tiparm() to
+	  handle the most-used case, which accepts only numeric parameters
+	  (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
+	+ use a more conservative estimate of the buffer-size in lib_tparm.c's
+	  save_text() and save_number(), in case the sprintf() function
+	  passes-through unexpected characters from a format specifier
+	  (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
+	+ add a check for end-of-string in cvtchar to handle a malformed
+	  string in infotocap (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
+
+20200523
+	+ update version-check for gnat to allow for gnat 10.x to 99.x
+	+ fix an uninitialized variable in lib_mouse.c changes (cf: 20200502)
+	+ add a check in EmitRange to guard against repeat_char emitting digits
+	  which could be interpreted as BSD-style padding when --enable-bsdpad 
+	  is configured (report/patch by Hiltjo Posthuma).
+	+ add --disable-pkg-ldflags to suppress EXTRA_LDFLAGS from the
+	  generated pkg-config and ncurses*-config files, to simplify
+	  configuring in the case where rpath is used but the packager wants
+	  to hide the feature (report by Michael Stapelberg).
+	> fixes for building with Visual Studio C++ and msys2 (patches by
+	  "Maarten Anonymous"):
+	+ modify CF_SHARED_OPTS to generate a script which translates linker
+	  options into Visual Studio's dialect.
+	+ omit parentheses around function-names in generated lib_gen.c to
+	  work around a Visual Studio C++ limitation.
+
+20200516
+	+ add notes on termcap.h header in curs_termcap.3x
+	+ update notes on vscode / xterm.js -TD
+
 20200509
 	+ add "-r" option to the dots test-programs, to help with scripting
 	  a performance comparison.
