+20160820
+       + update tput manual page to reflect changes to manipulate terminal
+         modes by sharing functions with tset.
+       + add the terminal-mode parts of "reset" (aka tset) to the "tput reset"
+         command, making the two almost the same except for window-size.
+       + adapt logic used in dialog "--keep-tite" option for test/filter.c as
+         "-a" option.  When set, test/filter attempts to suppress the
+         alternate screen.
+       + correct a typo in interix entry -TD
+
+20160813
+       + add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
+         handle a case of "configure && make install".
+       + trim trailing blanks from include/Caps*, to work around a problem
+         in sed (Debian #818067).
+
+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.
+       + improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
+
 20160709
        + work around Debian's antique/unmaintained version of mawk when
          building link_test.
