+20161105
+       + fix typo in man/terminfo.tail (Alain Williams).
+       + correct program-name in adacurses6-config.1 manual page.
+
+20161029
+       + add new function "unfocus_current_field" (Leon Winter)
+
+20161022
+       + modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
+         screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
+         setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
+       + add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
+         not optional in tput.
+       + add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
+       + improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
+         for transformed names.
+       + split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
+         tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
+
+20161015
+       + amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
+         affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations.  While
+         merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
+         "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
+         doupdate.
+       + regenerate llib-* files.
+       + regenerate HTML manpages.
+       + fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
+
+20161008
+       + adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
+       + fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
+       + build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.
+
+20161001
+       + add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap.  This is
+         in addition to the -w option which attempts to fit capabilities into
+         a given line-length.
+       + add linux-m1 minitel entries (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+       + correct rs2 string for vt100-nam -TD
+
+20160924
+       + modify _nc_tic_expand to escape comma if it immediately follows a
+         percent sign, to work with minitel change.
+       + updated minitel and viewdata descriptions (Alexandre Montaron).
+
+20160917
+       + build-fix for gnat6, which unhelpfully attempts to compile C files.
+       + fix typo in 20160910 changes (Debian #837892, patch by Sven Joachim).
+
 20160910
        + trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
          Leon Winter).
