+20210323
+       + add configure option --enable-stdnoreturn, making the _Noreturn
+         keyword optional to ease transition (prompted by report by
+         Rajeev V Pillai).
+
+20210320
+       + improve parameter-checking in tput by forcing it to analyze any
+         extended string capability, e.g., as used in the Cs and Ms
+         capabilities of the tmux description (report by Brad Town,
+         cf: 20200531).
+       + remove an incorrect free in the fallback (non-checking) version of
+         _nc_free_and_exit (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+       + correct use-ordering in some xterm-direct flavors -TD
+       + add hterm, hterm-256color (Mike Frysinger)
+       + if the build-time compiler accepts c11's _Noreturn keyword, use that
+         rather than gcc's attribute.
+       + change configure-check for gcc's noreturn attribute to assume it is
+         a prefix rather than suffix, matching c11's _Noreturn convention.
+       + add "lint" rule to c++/Makefile, e.g., with cppcheck.
+
+20210313
+       + improve configure CF_LD_SEARCHPATH macro used for ncurses*-config and
+         ".pc" files, from dialog changes.
+       + reduce dependency of math-library in test programs.
+       + minor fixes for test_tparm.c (cf: 20210306)
+       + mention "ncurses" prefix in curses_version() manpage (report by
+         Michal Bielinski).
+
+20210306
+       + improved test/test_tparm.c, by limiting the tests to capabilities
+         that might have parameters or padding, and combined with tputs test.
+       + improve discussion of padding versus tparm and tputs in
+         man/curs_terminfo.3x
+       + update portability note for FreeBSD in man/tput.1
+
+20210227
+       + modify tic/infocmp to eliminate unnecessary "\" to escape ":" in

+
 20210220
        + improve tic warning when oc/op do not mention SGR 39/49 for xterm
          compatible XT flag.

          (report/testcase by "puppet-meteor").
