+20171223
+       + modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with
+         PDCurses.
+       + modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description,
+         e.g., if there is a permission problem.
+       + minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2.
+       + assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
+         avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
+         if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
+         OpenSuSE #1070450).
+       + minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
+
+20171216
+       + repair template in test/package/ncurses-examples.spec (cf: 20171111).
+       + improve tic's warning about the number of parameters tparm might use
+         for u1-u9 by making a special case for u6.
+       + improve curs_attr.3x discussion of color pairs.
+
+20171209
+       + modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
+         consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
+         configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
+         are.
+       + modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
+         function in link_test.c
+       + updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
+       + modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
+         LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
+         linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
+       + add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
+
 20171125
        + modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
          before initialized.
