+- General reorganization and simplification.

+- Documentation revisions.

+- When expanding control characters in addch() or insch(), retain the 
+  attributes from the chtype.
+
+- Preserve the A_ALTCHARSET attribute in addch() and insch().
+
+- Per X/Open, beep() should always return OK.
+
 - flash() was not implemented for Win32 or X. A portable implementation
   is now used for all platforms. Note that it's much slower than the
   old (DOS and OS/2) version, but this is only apparent on an extremely
   slow machine, such as an XT.
 
-- In X11, the first reported mouse event after startup always read as a 
-  double-click at position 0, 0. (This bug was introduced in 2.8.)
+- In getstr(), backspacing on high-bit characters caused a double 
+  backspace.
+
+- hline() and vline() used an incorrect (off by one) interpretation of 
+  _maxx and _maxy. If values of n greater than the max were specified, 
+  these functions could access unallocated memory.
+
+- innstr() is supposed to return the number of characters read, not just 
+  OK or ERR. Reported by Mike Aubury.
+
+- A proper implementation of insch() -- the PDC_chadd()-based version 
+  wasn't handling the "special" characters correctly.
+
+- Return ASCII and control key names from keyname() (problem revealed by
+  ncurses' movewindow test); also, per X/Open, return "UNKNOWN KEY" when 
+  appropriate, rather than "NO KEY NAME".
+
+- napms(0) now returns immediately.
+
+- Allow backspace editing of nocbreak() buffer.
+
+- pair_content(0, ...) is valid.
+
+- slk_clear() now removes the buttons completely, as in ncurses.
+
+- Use the current foreground color for the line attributes (underline,
+  left, right), unless PDC_set_line_color() is explicitly called. After 
+  setting the line color, you can reset it to this mode via 
+  "PDC_set_line_color(-1)".
+
+- Removed non-macro implementations of COLOR_PAIR() and PAIR_NUMBER().
+
+- Dispensed with PDC_chadd() and PDC_chins() -- waddch() and winsch() 
+  are now (again) the core functions.
+
+- Dropped or made static many obsolete, unused, and/or broken functions,
+  including PDC_chg_attrs(), PDC_cursor_on() and _off(), 
+  PDC_fix_cursor(), PDC_get_attribute(), PDC_get_cur_col() and _row(),

+  _ENDLINE, _FULLWIN and _SCROLLWIN.

+- Obsolete/unused elements of the WINDOW struct: _pmax*, _lastp*, 
+  _lasts*.
+
+- Removed all the EMALLOC stuff. It was more or less broken, since 
+  straight malloc calls were used elsewhere; it was undocumented outside 
+  of comments in curspriv.h; and there are better ways to use a

 - In BIOS mode (in DOS), count successive identical bytes, and make only
