+20080209
+	+ update test programs to build/work with various UNIX curses for
+	  comparisons.  This was to reinvestigate statement in X/Open curses
+	  that insnstr and winsnstr perform wrapping.  None of the Unix-branded
+	  implementations do this, as noted in manpage (cf: 20040228).
+
+20080203
+	+ modify _nc_setupscreen() to set the legacy-coding value the same
+	  for both narrow/wide models.  It had been set only for wide model,
+	  but is needed to make unctrl() work with locale in the narrow model.
+	+ improve waddch() and winsch() handling of EILSEQ from mbrtowc() by
+	  using unctrl() to display illegal bytes rather than trying to append
+	  further bytes to make up a valid sequence (reported by Andrey A
+	  Chernov).
+	+ modify unctrl() to check codes in 128-255 range versus isprint().
+	  If they are not printable, and locale was set, use a "M-" or "~"
+	  sequence.
+
+20080126
+	+ improve threading in test/worm.c (wrap refresh calls, and KEY_RESIZE
+	  handling).  Now it hangs in napms(), no matter whether nanosleep()
+	  or poll() or select() are used on Linux.
+
+20080119
+	+ fixes to build with --disable-ext-funcs
+	+ add manpage for use_window and use_screen.
+	+ add set_tabsize() and set_escdelay() functions.
+
+20080112
+	+ remove recursive-mutex definitions, finish threading demo for worm.c
+	+ remove a redundant adjustment of lines in resizeterm.c's
+	  adjust_window() which caused occasional misadjustment of stdscr when
+	  softkeys were used.
+
+20080105
+	+ several improvements to terminfo entries based on xterm #230 -TD
+	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to handle keyname/key_name prototypes, so the
+	  "link_test" builds properly.
+	+ fix for toe command-line options -u/-U to ensure filename is given.
+	+ fix allocation-size for command-line parsing in infocmp from 20070728
+	  (report by Miroslav Lichvar)
+	+ improve resizeterm() by moving ripped-off lines, and repainting the
+	  soft-keys (report by Katarina Machalkova)
+	+ add clarification in wclear's manpage noting that the screen will be
+	  cleared even if a subwindow is cleared (prompted by Christer Enfors
+	  question).
+	+ change test/ncurses.c soft-key tests to work with KEY_RESIZE.
+
 20071222
 	+ continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
 	  for delwin().
