+20130209
+	+ modify test/configure script to make it simpler to override names
+	  of curses-related libraries, to help with linking with pdcurses in
+	  mingw environment.
+	+ if the --with-terminfo-dirs configure option is not used, there is
+	  no corresponding compiled-in value for that.  Fill in "no default
+	  value" for that part of the manpage substitution.
+
+20130202
+	+ correct initialization in knight.c which let it occasionally make
+	  an incorrect move (cf: 20001028).
+	+ improve documentation of the terminfo/termcap search path.
+
+20130126
+	+ further fixes to mvcur to pass callback function (cf: 20130112),
+	  needed to make test/dots_mvcur work.
+	+ reduce calls to SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer in win_driver.c, to
+	  help reduce flicker.
+	+ modify configure script to omit "+b" from linker options for very
+	  old HP-UX systems (report by Dennis Grevenstein)
+	+ add HP-UX workaround for missing EILSEQ on old HP-UX systems (patch
+	  by Dennis Grevenstein).
+	+ restore memmove/strdup support for antique systems (request by
+	  Dennis Grevenstein).
+	+ change %l behavior in tparm to push the string length onto the stack
+	  rather than saving the formatted length into the output buffer
+	  (report by Roy Marples, cf: 980620).
+
+20130119
+	+ fixes for issues found by Coverity:
+	  + fix memory leak in safe_sprintf.c
+	  + add check for return-value in tty_update.c
+	  + correct initialization for -s option in test/view.c
+	  + add check for numeric overflow in lib_instr.c
+	  + improve error-checking in copywin
+	+ add advice in infocmp manpage for termcap users (Debian #698469).
+	+ add "-y" option to test/demo_termcap and test/demo_terminfo to
+	  demonstrate behavior with/without extended capabilities.
+	+ updated termcap manpage to document legacy termcap behavior for
+	  matching capability names.
+	+ modify name-comparison for tgetstr, etc., to accommodate legacy
+	  applications as well as to improve compatbility with BSD 4.2
+	  termcap implementations (Debian #698299) (cf: 980725).
+
+20130112
+	+ correct prototype in manpage for vid_puts.
+	+ drop ncurses/tty/tty_display.h, ncurses/tty/tty_input.h, since they
+	  are unused in the current driver model.
+	+ modify mvcur to use stdout except when called within the ncurses
+	  library.
+	+ modify vidattr and vid_attr to use stdout as documented in manpage.
+	+ amend changes made to buffering in 20120825 so that the low-level
+	  putp() call uses stdout rather than ncurses' internal buffering.
+	  The putp_sp() call does the same, for consistency (Redhat #892674).
+
+20130105
+	+ add "-s" option to test/view.c to allow it to start in single-step
+	  mode, reducing size of trace files when it is used for debugging
+	  MinGW changes.
+	+ revert part of 20121222 change to tinfo_driver.c
+	+ add experimental logic in win_driver.c to improve optimization of
+	  screen updates.  This does not yet work with double-width characters,
+	  so it is ifdef'd out for the moment (prompted by report by Erwin
+	  Waterlander regarding screen flicker).
+
 20121229
 	+ fix coverity warnings regarding copying into fixed-size buffers.
 	+ add throw-declarations in the c++ binding per Coverity warning.
