+20210213
+	+ add test/back_ground.c, to exercise the wide-character background
+	  functions.
+	+ add a check in _nc_build_wch() in case the background character is a
+	  wide-character, rather than a new part of a multibyte character.
+	+ improve tracemunch's coverage of form/menu/panel libraries.
+	+ improve tracemunch's checking/reporting the type for the first
+	  parameter, e.g., "WINDOW*" rather than "#1".
+
+20210206
+	+ provide for wide-characters as background character in wbkgrnd
+	  (report/testcase by Anton Vidovic)
+	+ add name for Fedora's pcre2 to configure check for "--with-pcre2"
+	  option, from xterm #363 -TD
+	+ modify adjustment in PutCharLR to restore the cursor position before
+	  writing to the lower-right corner, rather than decrementing the
+	  cursor column, in case it was a double-width character (cf: 20210130).
+
+20210130
+	+ correct an off-by-one in comparison in waddch_literal() which caused
+	  scrolling when a double-cell character would not fit at the lower
+	  right corner of the screen (report by Benno Schulenberg).
+	+ split-out att610+cvis, vt220+cvis, vt220+cvis8 -TD
+	+ add vt220-base, for terminal emulators which generally have not
+	  supported att610's blinking cursor control -TD
+	+ use vt220+cvis in vt220, etc -TD
+	+ use att610+cvis, xterm+tmux and ansi+enq in kitty -TD
+	+ use vt220+cvis in st, terminology, termite since they ignore
+	  blinking-cursor detail in att610+cvis -TD
+
+20210123
+	+ modify package/config scripts to provide an explicit -L option for
+	  cases when the loader search path has other directories preceding
+	  the one in which ncurses is installed (report by Yuri Victorovich).
+	+ minor build-fixes in configure script and makefiles to work around
+	  quirks of pmake.
+
+20210116
+	+ add comment for linux2.6 regarding CONFIG_CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS
+	  (report by Patrick McDermott) -TD
+	+ make opts extension for getcchar work as documented for ncurses 6.1,
+	  adding "-g" flag to test/demo_new_pair to illustrate.
+
+20210109
+	+ fix errata in man/ncurses.3x from recent updates.
+	+ improve quoting/escaping in configure script, uses some features of
+	  autoconf 2.52.20210105
+
 20210102
 	+ update man/curs_memleaks.3x, to include <term.h> which declares
 	  exit_terminfo.
