+20211009
+       + implement "+m" option in tabs program.
+       + fill in some details for infoton -TD
+       + fix spelling/consistency in several descriptions -TD
+       + use vt420+lrmm in vt420 -TD
+       + modify save_tty_settings() to avoid opening /dev/tty for cases other
+         than reset/init, e.g., for clear.
+       + modify output of "toe -as" to show first description found rather
+         than the last.
+       + improve tic checks for number of parameters of smglp, smgrp, smgtp,
+         and smgbp (cf: 20020525).
+       + correct off-by-one comparison in last_char(), which did not allow
+         special case of ":" in a terminfo description field (cf: 20120407).
+       + remove check in tic that assumes that none or both parameterized and
+         non-parameterized margin-setting capabilities are present
+         (cf: 20101002).
+
+20211002
+       + use return-value from vsnprintf to reallocate as needed to allow for
+         buffers larger than the screen size (report by "_RuRo_").
+       + modify tset "-q" option to refrain from modifying terminal modes, to
+         match the documentation.
+       + add section on margins to terminfo.5, adapted from X/Open Curses.
+       + make tput/tset warning messages consistently using alias names when
+         those are used, rather than the underlying program's name.
+       + improve tput usage message for aliases such as clear, by eliminating
+         tput-specific portions.
+       + add a check in toe to ensure that a "termcap file" is text rather
+         than binary.
+       + further build-fixes for OpenBSD 6.9, whose header files differ from
+         the other BSDs.
+
 20210925
        + add kbeg to xterm+keypad to accommodate termcap applications -TD
        + add smglp and smgrp to vt420+lrmm, to provide useful data for the
