+20161210
+       + add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
+         where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
+         development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
+         the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
+         Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
+       + add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
+         from a data file.
+       + modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
+

        + improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.
        + update curs_trace.3x manual page.
