	> terminfo updates -TD
	  + make xterm-xf86-v43 derived from xterm-xf86-v40 rather than
	    xterm-basic -TD
	  + align with xterm patch #192's use of xterm-new -TD
	  + update xterm-new and xterm-8bit for cvvis/cnorm strings -TD
	  + make xterm-new the default "xterm" entry -TD

20040626
	+ correct BUILD_CPPFLAGS substitution in ncurses/Makefile.in, to allow
	  cross-compiling from a separate directory tree (report/patch by
	  Dan Engel).
	+ modify is_term_resized() to ensure that window sizes are nonzero,
	  as documented in the manpage (report by Ian Collier).
	+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro to make Hurd port build
	  (Debian #249214, report/patch by Jeff Bailey).
	+ configure-script mods from xterm, e.g., updates to CF_ADD_CFLAGS
	+ update config.guess, config.sub
	> terminfo updates -TD
	  + add mlterm
	  + add xterm-xf86-v44
	  + modify xterm-new aka xterm-xfree86 to accommodate luit, which
	    relies on G1 being used via an ISO-2022 escape sequence (report by
	    Juliusz Chroboczek)
	  + add 'hurd' entry

20040619
	+ reconsidered winsnstr(), decided after comparing other
	  implementations that wrapping is an X/Open documentation error.
	+ modify test/inserts.c to test all flavors of insstr().

20040605
	+ add setlocale() calls to a few test programs which may require it:
	  demo_forms.c, filter.c, ins_wide.c, inserts.c
	+ correct a few misspelled function names in ncurses-intro.html (report
	  by Tony Li).
	+ correct internal name of key_defined() manpage, which conflicted with
	  define_key().

20040529
	+ correct size of internal pad used for holding wide-character
	  field_buffer() results.
	+ modify data_ahead() to work with wide-characters.

20040522
	+ improve description of terminfo if-then-else expressions (suggested
	  by Arne Thomassen).
	+ improve test/ncurses.c 'd' test, allow it to use external file for
	  initial palette (added xterm-16color.dat and linux-color.dat), and
	  reset colors to the initial palette when starting/ending the test.
	+ change limit-check in init_color() to allow r/g/b component to
	  reach 1000 (cf: 20020928).

20040516
	+ modify form library to use cchar_t's rather than char's in the
	  wide-character configuration for storing data for field buffers.
	+ correct logic of win_wchnstr(), which did not work for more than
	  one cell.

20040508
	+ replace memset/memcpy usage in form library with for-loops to
	  simplify changing the datatype of FIELD.buf, part of wide-character
	  changes.
	+ fix some inconsistent use of #if/#ifdef (report by Alain Guibert).

20040501
	+ modify menu library to account for actual number of columns used by
	  multibyte character strings, in the wide-character configuration
	  (adapted from patch by Philipp Tomsich).
	+ add "-x" option to infocmp like tic's "-x", for use in "-F"
	  comparisons.  This modifies infocmp to only report extended
	  capabilities if the -x option is given, making this more consistent
	  with tic.  Some scripts may break, since infocmp previous gave this
	  information without an option.
	+ modify termcap-parsing to retain 2-character aliases at the beginning
	  of an entry if the "-x" option is used in tic.

20040424
	+ minor compiler-warning and test-program fixes.

20040417
	+ modify tic's missing-sgr warning to apply to terminfo only.
	+ free some memory leaks in tic.
	+ remove check in post_menu() that prevented menus from extending
	  beyond the screen (request by Max J. Werner).
	+ remove check in newwin() that prevents allocating windows
	  that extend beyond the screen.  Solaris curses does this.
	+ add ifdef in test/color_set.c to allow it to compile with older
	  curses.
	+ add napms() calls to test/dots.c to make it not be a CPU hog.

20040403
	+ modify unctrl() to return null if its parameter does not correspond
	  to an unsigned char.
	+ add some limit-checks to guard isprint(), etc., from being used on
	  values that do not fit into an unsigned char (report by Sami Farin).

20040328
	+ fix a typo in the _nc_get_locale() change.

20040327
	+ modify _nc_get_locale() to use setlocale() to query the program's
	  current locale rather than using getenv().  This fixes a case in tin
	  which relies on legacy treatment of 8-bit characters when the locale
	  is not initialized (reported by Urs Jansen).
	+ add sgr string to screen's and rxvt's terminfo entries -TD.
	+ add a check in tic for terminfo entries having an sgr0 but no sgr
	  string.  This confuses Tru64 and HPUX curses when combined with
	  color, e.g., making them leave line-drawing characters in odd places.
	+ correct casts used in ABSENT_BOOLEAN, CANCELLED_BOOLEAN, matches the
	  original definitions used in Debian package to fix PowerPC bug before
	  20030802 (Debian #237629).

20040320
	+ modify PutAttrChar() and PUTC() macro to improve use of
	  A_ALTCHARSET attribute to prevent line-drawing characters from
	  being lost in situations where the locale would otherwise treat the
	  raw data as nonprintable (Debian #227879).

20040313
	+ fix a redefinition of CTRL() macro in test/view.c for AIX 5.2 (report
	  by Jim Idle).
	+ remove ".PP" after ".SH NAME" in a few manpages; this confuses
	  some apropos script (Debian #237831).

20040306
	+ modify ncurses.c 'r' test so editing commands, like inserted text,
	  set the field background, and the state of insert/overlay editing
	  mode is shown in that test.
	+ change syntax of dummy targets in Ada95 makefiles to work with pmake.
	+ correct logic in test/ncurses.c 'b' for noncolor terminals which
	  did not recognize a quit-command (cf: 20030419).

20040228
	+ modify _nc_insert_ch() to allow for its input to be part of a
	  multibyte string.
	+ split out lib_insnstr.c, to prepare to rewrite it.  X/Open states
	  that this function performs wrapping, unlike all of the other
	  insert-functions.  Currently it does not wrap.
	+ check for nl_langinfo(CODESET), use it if available (report by
	  Stanislav Ievlev).
	+ split-out CF_BUILD_CC macro, actually did this for lynx first.
	+ fixes for configure script CF_WITH_DBMALLOC and CF_WITH_DMALLOC,
	  which happened to work with bash, but not with Bourne shell (report
	  by Marco d'Itri via tin-dev).

20040221
	+ some changes to adapt the form library to wide characters, incomplete
	  (request by Mike Aubury).
	+ add symbol to curses.h which can be used to suppress include of
	  stdbool.h, e.g.,
	  	#define NCURSES_ENABLE_STDBOOL_H 0
		#include <curses.h>
	  (discussion on XFree86 mailing list).

20040214
	+ modify configure --with-termlib option to accept a value which sets
	  the name of the terminfo library.  This would allow a packager to
	  build libtinfow.so renamed to coincide with libtinfo.so (discussion
	  with Stanislav Ievlev).
	+ improve documentation of --with-install-prefix, --prefix and
	  $(DESTDIR) in INSTALL (prompted by discussion with Paul Lew).
	+ add configure check if the compiler can use -c -o options to rename
	  its output file, use that to omit the 'cd' command which was used to
	  ensure object files are created in a separate staging directory
	  (prompted by comments by Johnny Wezel, Martin Mokrejs).

20040208 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org
	+ update TO-DO.

20040207 pre-release
	+ minor fixes to _nc_tparm_analyze(), i.e., do not count %i as a param,
	  and do not count %d if it follows a %p.
	+ correct an inconsistency between handling of codes in the 128-255
	  range, e.g., as illustrated by test/ncurses.c f/F tests.  In POSIX
	  locale, the latter did not show printable results, while the former
	  did.
	+ modify MKlib_gen.sh to compensate for broken C preprocessor on Mac
	  OS X, which alters "%%" to "% % " (report by Robert Simms, fix
	  verified by Scott Corscadden).

20040131 pre-release
	+ modify SCREEN struct to align it between normal/wide curses flavors
	  to simplify future changes to build a single version of libtinfo
	  (patch by Stanislav Ievlev).
	+ document handling of carriage return by addch() in manpage.
	+ document special features of unctrl() in manpage.
	+ documented interface changes in INSTALL.
	+ corrected control-char test in lib_addch.c to account for locale
	  (Debian #230335, cf: 971206).
	+ updated test/configure.in to use AC_EXEEXT and AC_OBJEXT.
	+ fixes to compile Ada95 binding with Debian gnat 3.15p-4 package.
	+ minor configure-script fixes for older ports, e.g., BeOS R4.5.

20040125 pre-release
	+ amend change to PutAttrChar() from 20030614 which computed the number
	  of cells for a possibly multi-cell character.  The 20030614 change
	  forced the cell to a blank if the result from wcwidth() was not
	  greater than zero.  However, wcwidth() called for parameters in the
	  range 128-255 can give this return value.  The logic now simply
	  ensures that the number of cells is greater than zero without
	  modifying the displayed value.

20040124 pre-release
	+ looked good for 5.4 release for upload to ftp.gnu.org (but see above)
	+ modify configure script check for ranlib to use AC_CHECK_TOOL, since
	  that works better for cross-compiling.

20040117 pre-release
	+ modify lib_get_wch.c to prefer mblen/mbtowc over mbrlen/mbrtowc to
	  work around core dump in Solaris 8's locale support, e.g., for
	  zh_CN.GB18030 (report by Saravanan Bellan).
	+ add includes for <stdarg.h> and <stdio.h> in configure script macro
	  to make <wchar.h> check work with Tru64 4.0d.
	+ add terminfo entry for U/Win -TD
	+ add terminfo entries for SFU aka Interix aka OpenNT (Federico
	  Bianchi).
	+ modify tput's error messages to prefix them with the program name
	  (report by Vincent Lefevre, patch by Daniel Jacobowitz, Debian
	  #227586).
	+ correct a place in tack where exit_standout_mode was used instead of
	  exit_attribute_mode (patch by Jochen Voss, Debian #224443).
	+ modify c++/cursesf.h to use const in the Enumeration_Field method.
	+ remove an ambiguous (actually redundant) method from c++/cursesf.h
	+ make $HOME/.terminfo update optional (suggested by Stanislav Ievlev).
	+ improve sed script which extracts libtool's version in the
	  CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro.
	+ add ifdef'd call to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL to CF_WITH_LIBTOOL macro (to
	  simplify local patch for Albert Chin-A-Young)..
	+ add $(CXXFLAGS) to link command in c++/Makefile.in (adapted from
	  patch by Albert Chin-A-Young)..
	+ fix a missing substitution in configure.in for "$target" needed for
	  HPUX .so/.sl case.
	+ resync CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro with lynx; fixes IRIX64 and
	  NetBSD 1.6 conflicts with _XOPEN_SOURCE.
	+ make check for stdbool.h more specific, to ensure that including it
	  will actually define/declare bool for the configured compiler.
	+ rewrite ifdef's in curses.h relating NCURSES_BOOL and bool.  The
	  intention of that is to #define NCURSES_BOOL as bool when the
	  compiler declares bool, and to #define bool as NCURSES_BOOL when it
	  does not (reported by Jim Gifford, Sam Varshavchik, cf: 20031213).

20040110 pre-release
	+ change minor version to 4, i.e., ncurses 5.4
	+ revised/improved terminfo entries for tvi912b, tvi920b (Benjamin C W
	  Sittler).
	+ simplified ncurses/base/version.c by defining the result from the
	  configure script rather than using sprintf (suggested by Stanislav
	  Ievlev).
	+ remove obsolete casts from c++/cursesw.h (reported by Stanislav
	  Ievlev).
	+ modify configure script so that when configuring for termlib, programs
