+20171014
+	+ minor cleanup to test/view.c:
+	  + eliminate "-n" option by simply reading the whole file.
+	  + implement page up/down commands.
+	+ add check in tput for init/reset operands to ensure those use a
+	  terminal.
+	+ improve manual pages which discuss chtype, cchar_t types and the
+	  attribute values which can be stored in those types.
+	+ correct array-index when parsing "-T" command-line option in tabs
+	  program.
+	+ modify demo_new_pair.c to pass extended pairs to setcchar().
+	+ add test/dots_xcurses.c to illustrate a different approach used for
+	  extended colors which can be contrasted with dots_curses.c.
+	+ add a check in tic to note when a description uses non-mandatory
+	  delays without xon_xoff.  This is not an error, but some descriptions
+	  for a terminal emulator may use the combination incorrectly.
+
+20171007
+	+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
+	  the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
+	+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
+	  with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
+	+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
+	  database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
+	  terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
+	+ correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
+	  not slk_color().
+	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
+
+20170930
+	+ fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
+	  Solaris xpg4 curses.
+	+ add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with
+	  Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm().
+	+ minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and
+	  tin.
+	+ improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit().
+	+ modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
+	  signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
+	+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
+	+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
+	  documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
+	  values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
+	  short.  Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
+	  two sets.
+

 	+ modify menu for test/ncurses.c to fit on 24-line screen.
 	+ build-fix for configure --with-caps=uwin
