+- Add ncurses patch 20130324
+  + build-fix for libtool configuration (reports by Daniel Silva Ferreira
+    and Roumen Petrov).
+- Add ncurses patch 20130323
+  + build-fix for OS X, to handle changes for --with-cxx-shared feature
+    (report by Christian Ebert).
+  + change initialization for vt220, similar entries for consistency
+    with cursor-key strings (NetBSD #47674) -TD
+  + further improvements to linux-16color (Benjamin Sittler)
+- Add ncurses patch 20130316
+  + additional fix for tic.c, to allocate missing buffer space.
+  + eliminate configure-script warnings for gen-pkgconfig.in
+  + correct typo in sgr string for sun-color,
+    add bold for consistency with sgr,
+    change smso for consistency with sgr -TD
+  + correct typo in sgr string for terminator -TD
+  + add blink to the attributes masked by ncv in linux-16color (report
+    by Benjamin Sittler)
+  + improve warning message from post-load checking for missing "%?"
+    operator by tic/infocmp by showing the entry name and capability.
+  + minor formatting improvement to tic/infocmp -f option to ensure
+    line split after "%;".
+  + amend scripting for --with-cxx-shared option to handle the debug
+    library "libncurses++_g.a" (report by Sven Joachim).
+- Add ncurses patch 20130309
+  + amend change to toe.c for reading from /dev/zero, to ensure that
+    there is a buffer for the temporary filename (cf: 20120324).
+  + regenerated html manpages.
+  + fix typo in terminfo.head (report by Sven Joachim, cf: 20130302).
+  + updated some autoconf macros:
+    + CF_ACVERSION_CHECK, from byacc 1.9 20130304
+    + CF_INTEL_COMPILER, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE from luit 2.0-20130217
+  + add configure option --with-cxx-shared to permit building
+    libncurses++ as a shared library when using g++, e.g., the same
+    limitations as libtool but better integrated with the usual build
+    configuration (Redhat 911540).
+  + modify MKkey_defs.sh to filter out build-path which was unnecessarily
+    shown in curses.h (Debian #689131).
+- Add ncurses patch 20130302
+  + add section to terminfo manpage discussing user-defined capabilities.
+  + update manpage description of NCURSES_NO_SETBUF, explaining why it
+    is obsolete.
+  + add a check in waddch_nosync() to ensure that tab characters are
+    treated as control characters; some broken locales claim they are
+    printable.
+  + add some traces to the Windows console driver.
+  + initialize a temporary array in _nc_mbtowc, needed for some cases
+    of raw input in MinGW port.
+- Make it build even with shared libncurses++ and its demo test program
+
