+PDCursesMod 4.5.3 - 2025 Aug 11
+================================
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+- stdin/stdout redirection now works on the Windows console platform.
+
+- C23-compliant compilers (and some others) objected to the casting of
+  function pointers returned by `GetProcAddress()`.
+
+- If `PDC_NCMOUSE` is #defined,  the behavior of the mouse routines should
+  copy that of ncurses,  warts and all.  Scroll-up and down are mapped to
+  presses on buttons 4 and 5,  and tilt-scroll events and "real" button 4
+  and 5 events are ignored.
+
+PDCursesMod 4.5.2 - 2025 June 19
+================================
+
+Minor new features
+------------------
+
+- Fixes for C90 compliance: removed some C++-style // comments,  moved
+  variables to the top of code blocks,  used TRUE/FALSE instead of true/false.
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+- getch() triggered an assert() if fed a character that expanded to a
+  multi-byte string in PDC_FORCE_UTF8 builds.
+
+- WinCon/pdckbd.c contained a poorly-written cast to which the C23 standard
+  objects,  resulting in warnings/errors when built to that standard.
+
+
