+20190302
+       + corrected some of the undocumented terminfo names in Caps.hpux11
+       + add "Caps-ncurses" file to help with checking inconsistencies in some
+         user-defined capabilities.
+       + amend check for repeat_char to handle a case where setlocale() was
+         called after initscr() (report by "Ampera").
+
+20190223
+       + fix typo in adds200 -TD
+       + add tic check for consistent alternate character set capabilities.
+       + improve check in mvcur() to decide whether to use hard-tabs, using
+         xt, tbc and hts as clues.
+       + replace check in reset command for obsolete "pt" capability using
+         tbc and hts capabilities as clues (report by Nicolas Marriott).
+
+20190216
+       + improve manual page description of TABSIZE.
+       + add test/demo_tabs program.

+20190209
+       + add check in tic to provide warnings for mismatched number of
+         parameters in the documented user-capability extensions.
+
+20190202
+       + modify rpm test-package ".spec" file to work around naming conflict
+         with Redhat's package for ncurses6.
+       + modify no-leaks code in test/picsmap to avoid non-standard tdestroy.
+       + amend change to configure script which altered the top-level makefile
+         to avoid attempting to install the terminfo database when it was not
+         configured, to allow for installing the ".pc" files which are also
+         in the misc directory (report by Steve Wills).
+
+20190126
+       + change some "%define" statements in test-packages for RPMs to
+         "%global" to work around changes in rpm 4.14 from recent Redhat.
+       + fixes for O_INPUT_FIELD extension (patch by Leon Winter).
+       + eliminate fixed buffer-size when reading $TERMCAP variable.
+       + correct logic in read_entry.c which prevented $TERMCAP variable from
+         being interpreted as a fallback to terminfo entry (prompted by
+         Savannah #54556, cf: 20110924).
+

        + add a check in test/configure to work around non-ncurses termcap.h
