--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

20140116
+ cosmetic changes (suggested by Itay Chamiel):
+ clear screen just before resetting SCS in menu #3 character sets, in case a VT100 emulator does not simply ignore VT220 G2/G3 selections when it does not implement them.
+ add check for maximum operating level before deciding whether to send a DECSCL to set it to VT100-level.
+ adjust starting point of items for menu #9 "Test of known bugs" to avoid overwriting part of the description of the test.
+ add configure check for -Wlogical-op to gcc-warnings
+ update config.guess, config.sub

20130915
+ when NRCS is active, suppress ISO Latin-1 from menu to avoid
confusion with British NRCS.
+ do not highlight ISO Latin-1 for NRCS, since it is a 96-character set, not applicable to NRCS.
+ correct position of ruler for SD and REP screens, which obscured the result.
+ expand menu 11.6.6 to demonstrate bce with top-level menus 1 and 2 in addition to the existing menu 8.
+ correct description for DA response 24; it denotes VT320.
+ correct highlighting for French NRC mapping; "`" is not mapped.
+ add port-files from FreeBSD for test-builds.
+ add highlighting information for VT320 Portuguese NRC mapping.
+ add highlighting information for VT220 DEC Supplemental NRC mapping.
+ updated configure-macros to add msys changes from ncurses 20130907.
+ update config.guess, config.sub

20130818
+ modify character-sets screens to optionally highlight the characters which do not correspond to ISO-8859-1.  This makes the National Replacement Characters easier to see.
+ modify DSR cursor-position report to check if the terminal 
accounts for origin-mode.
+ support --datarootdir option in makefile.in, to match configure
script updates.
+ updated configure macros:
+ change from byacc for autoheader
+ improved checks for gcc attributes
+ improved checks for gcc version
+ miscellaneous fixes in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE
+ update config.guess, config.sub

20120603
+ change cursor-position before IL/DL in "Test of VT102-style features with BCE (Insert/Delete Char/Line)" to demonstrate whether the terminal sets the cursor to the first column as a side-effect, as noted in VT220 reference manual.

20120506
+ build-fix in case compiler does not recognize gcc's __attribute__.
+ modify vt420 rectangle menu to allow testing with applications which misreport their operating level, e.g., Reflection which states that it is a vt340.  The menu title shows "should not work" if the terminal says its operating level is below VT4xx.
+ add menu-entries for DECOM/DECLRMM to vt420 rectangle menu.
+ add menu-entries for DECOM/DECLRMM to vt420 cursor-movement menu.
+ add menu-entries for DECOM/DECLRMM to vt420 editing-controls menu.
+ add HPR and VPR test-screens.
+ add vt520 cursor-movement menu; most of the vt520's new features were based on ISO-6429 but allow for DECOM and DECLRMM interactions.
+ implement DECSCPP and DECSLPP test-screens.
+ add test-screen for DECNCSM.
+ add "-s" command-line option to initialize the time-delay feature.
+ add setup-menu feature to control whether a time delay is added in selected repeated cursor-movement and scrolling operations to make their behavior easier to see.
+ correct scanning of DECCKSR response; result is hexadecimal not decimal.
+ modify menu functions to provide for multipage menus, e.g., in the character set choices for vt420 and vt520 on a 24-line screen.
+ modify tests related to left/right margins to allow color to be set, as xterm-feature.
+ add test-screen for index/reverse index with left/right margins.
+ ensure that status-line is turned off when exiting status-line test.
+ add test-screen for VT420 & up for ASCII formatting controls with margins.
+ modify DECFI/DECBI tests to work with margins.
+ add menu entries for setting/showing the top/bottom and left/right margins, to modify the behavior of the DECIC/DECDC tests.
+ add menu entries for setting/showing DECLRMM state, needed for DECIC/DECDC tests.
+ change mnemomic DECVSSM to DECLRMM to reflect the latter's usage in vt420 and vt510 manuals.
+ modify DECRQSS test for DECSCUSR to show if the response is as expected.
