+	+ updated llib-* files.
+	+ build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule.
+	+ use alternate workaround for gcc 5.x feature (adapted from patch by
+	  Mikhail Peselnik).

+	+ fixes for st 0.5 from testing with tack -TD
+	+ review/improve several manual pages to break up wall-of-text:
+	  curs_add_wch.3x, curs_attr.3x, curs_bkgd.3x, curs_bkgrnd.3x,
+	  curs_getcchar.3x, curs_getch.3x, curs_kernel.3x, curs_mouse.3x,
+	  curs_outopts.3x, curs_overlay.3x, curs_pad.3x, curs_termattrs.3x
+	  curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
+
+20150719
+	+ correct an old logic error for %A and %O in tparm (report by "zreed").
+	+ improve documentation for signal handlers by adding section in the
+	  curs_initscr.3x page.
+	+ modify logic in make_keys.c to not assume anything about the size
+	  of strnames and strfnames variables, since those may be functions
+	  in the thread- or broken-linker configurations (problem found by
+	  Coverity).
+	+ modify test/configure script to check for pthreads configuration,
+	  e.g., ncursestw library.
+
+20150711
+	+ modify scripts to build/use test-packages for the pthreads
+	  configuration of ncurses6.
+	+ add references to ttytype and termcap symbols in demo_terminfo.c and
+	  demo_termcap.c to ensure that when building ncursest.map, etc., that
+	  the corresponding names such as _nc_ttytype are added to the list of
+	  versioned symbols (report by Werner Fink)
+	+ fix regression from 20150704 (report/patch by Werner Fink).
+

+	  (report by Daiki Ueno, Debian #790548, cf:  20141213).
+
+20150627
+	+ modify configure script to remove deprecated ABI 5 symbols when
+	  building ABI 6.
+	+ add symbols _nc_Default_Field, _nc_Default_Form, _nc_has_mouse to
+	  map-files, but marked as deprecated so that they can easily be
+	  suppressed from ABI 6 builds (Debian #788610).
+	+ comment-out "screen.xterm" entry, and inherit screen.xterm-256color
+	  from xterm-new (report by Richard Birkett) -TD
+	+ modify read_entry.c to set the error-return to -1 if no terminal
+	  databases were found, as documented for setupterm.
+	+ add test_setupterm.c to demonstrate normal/error returns from the
+	  setupterm and restartterm functions.
+	+ amend cleanup change from 20110813 which removed redundant definition
+	  of ret_error, etc., from tinfo_driver.c, to account for the fact that
+	  it should return a bool rather than int (report/analysis by Johannes
+	  Schindelin).
+
 20150613
 	+ fix overflow warning for OSX with lib_baudrate.c (cf: 20010630).
