+20180428
+       + document new form-extension O_EDGE_INSERT_STAY (report by Leon
+         Winter).
+       + correct error-returns listed in manual pages for a few form functions
+         (report by Leon Winter).
+       + add a check in form-library for null-pointer dereference:
+               unfocus_current_field (form);
+               form_driver (form, REQ_VALIDATION);
+         (patch by Leon Winter).
+
+20180414
+       + modify form library to optionally delay cursor movement on a field
+         edge/boundary (patch by Leon Winter).
+       + modify form library to avoid unnecessary update of cursor position in
+         non-public fields (patch by Leon Winter).
+       + remove unused _nc_import_termtype2() function.
+       + also add/improve null-pointer checks in other places
+       + add a null-pointer check in _nc_parse_entry to handle an error when
+         a use-name is invalid syntax (report by Chung-Yi Lin).
+
+20180407
+       + clarify in manual pages that vwprintw and vwscanw are obsolete,
+         not part of X/Open Curses since 2007.
+       + use "const" in some prototypes rather than NCURSES_CONST where X/Open
+         Curses was updated to do this, e.g., wscanw, newterm, the terminfo
+         interface.  Also use "const" for consistency in the termcap
+         interface, which was withdrawn by X/Open Curses in Issue 5 (2007).
+         As of Issue 7, X/Open Curses still lacks "const" for certain return
+         values, e.g., keyname().
+
+20180331
+       + improve terminfo write/read by modifying the fourth item of the
+         extended header to denote the number of valid strings in the extended
+         string table (prompted by a comment in unibilium's sources).
+
+20180324
+       + amend Scaled256() macro in test/picsmap.c to cover the full range
+         0..1000 (report by Roger Pau Monne).
+       + add some checks in tracemunch for undefined variables.
+       + trim some redundant capabilities from st-0.7 -TD
+       + trim unnecessary setf/setb from interix -TD
+
 20180317
        + fix a check in infotocap which may not have detected a problem when
          it should have.
