+20190720
+       + fix a few warnings for gcc 4.x
+       + add some portability/historical details to the tic, toe and infocmp
+         manual pages.
+       + correct fix for broken link from terminfo(5) to tabs(1) manpage
+         (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20190713
+       + change reset's behavior for margins to simply clear soft-margins if
+         possible, rather than clearing and then setting them according to the
+         terminal's width (suggested by Thomas Wolff).
+       + correct order of one wbkgd versus start_color call in test/padview.c
+
+20190706
+       + add domterm -TD
+       + improve comments for recent changes, add alias xterm.js -TD
+
+20190630
+       + add --with-tic-path and --with-infocmp-path to work around problems
+         building fallback source using pre-6.0 tic/infocmp.
+       + add a check in tic for paired indn/rin
+       + correct a buffer-limit in write_entry.c for systems that use caseless
+         filenames.
+       + add ms-terminal -TD
+       + add vscode, vscode-direct -TD
+
+20190623
+       + improve the tabs.1 manual page to distinguish the PWB/Unix and 7th
+         Edition versions of the tabs utility.
+       + add configure check for getenv() to work around implementation shown
+         in Emscripten #6766, use that to optionally suppress START_TRACE
+         macro, whose call to getenv() may not work properly (report by Ilya
+         Ig Petrov).
+       + modify initialization functions to avoid relying upon persistent
+         data for the result from getenv().
+       + update config.guess, config.sub
+
+20190615
+       + expand the portability section of the man/tabs.1 manual page.

+         to allow builds with ncurses 5.9 and 6.0
+       + add Smol/Rmol for tmux, vte-2018 (patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+       + add rs1 to konsole, mlterm -TD
+       + modify _nc_merge_entry() to make a copy of the data which it merges,
+         to avoid modifying the source-data when aligning extended names.
+
+20190601
+       + modify an internal call to vid_puts to pass extended color pairs
+         e.g., from tty_update.c and lib_mvcur.c (report by Niegodziwy Beru).
+       + improve manual page description of init_tabs capability and TABSIZE
+         variable.
+
+20190525
+       + modify reset_cmd.c to allow for tabstops at intervals other than 8
+         (report by Vincent Huisman).
+
+20190518
+       + update xterm-new to xterm patch #345 -TD
