+20190623
+       + improve the tabs.1 manual page to distinguish the PWB/Unix and 7th
+         Edition versions of the tabs utility.
+       + add configure check for getenv() to work around implementation shown
+         in Emscripten #6766, use that to optionally suppress START_TRACE
+         macro, whose call to getenv() may not work properly (report by Ilya
+         Ig Petrov).
+       + modify initialization functions to avoid relying upon persistent
+         data for the result from getenv().
+       + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20190615
+       + expand the portability section of the man/tabs.1 manual page.
+       + regenerate HTML manpages.
+
+20190609
+       + add mintty, mintty-direct (adapted from patch by Thomas Wolff).
+         Some of the suggested user-defined capabilities are commented-out,
+         to allow builds with ncurses 5.9 and 6.0
+       + add Smol/Rmol for tmux, vte-2018 (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+       + add rs1 to konsole, mlterm -TD
+       + modify _nc_merge_entry() to make a copy of the data which it merges,
+         to avoid modifying the source-data when aligning extended names.
+
+20190601
+       + modify an internal call to vid_puts to pass extended color pairs
+         e.g., from tty_update.c and lib_mvcur.c (report by Niegodziwy Beru).
+       + improve manual page description of init_tabs capability and TABSIZE
+         variable.
+
+20190525
+       + modify reset_cmd.c to allow for tabstops at intervals other than 8
+         (report by Vincent Huisman).
