 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20020901 pre-release
        + change minor version to 3, i.e., ncurses 5.3
        + update config.guess, config.sub
        + retest build with each configure option; minor ifdef fixes.
        + make keyname() return a null pointer rather than "UNKNOWN STRING" to
          match XSI.
        + modify handling of wide line-drawing character functions to use the
          normal line-drawing characters when not in UTF-8 locale.
        + add check/fix to comp_parse.c to suppress warning about missing acsc
          string.  This happens in configurations where raw termcap information
          is processed; tic already does this and other checks.
        + modify tic's check for ich/ich1 versus rmir/smir to only warn about
          ich1, to match xterm patch #70 notes.
        + moved information for ripped-off lines into SCREEN struct to allow
          use in resizeterm().
        + add experimental wgetch_events(), ifdef'd with NCURSES_WGETCH_EVENTS
          (adapted from patch by Ilya Zakharevich - see ncurses/README.IZ).
        + amend check in kgetch() from 20020824 to look only for function-keys,
          otherwise escape sequences are not resolved properly.
        > Philippe Blain:
        + removed redundant assignment to SP->_checkfd from newterm().
        + check return-value of setupterm() in restartterm().
        + use sizeof(NCURSES_CH_T) in a few places that used sizeof(chtype).
        + prevent dupwin() from duplicating a pad.
        + prevent putwin() from writing a pad.
        + use typeRealloc() or typeMalloc() in preference to direct calls on
          _nc_doalloc().
