+20160806
+       + improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
+         _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
+       + move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
+         the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
+         strings.
+       + split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
+         progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
+         with tput.
+
+20160730
+       + change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
+         standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
+         output or error are redirected.
+       + improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
+         manual pages.
+
 20160723
        + improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are
          redirected to a file or pipe.
