+20161217
+	+ add tput-colorcube demo script.
+	+ add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
+	+ flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
+	  e.g., when called via putp.  This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
+	  did not work after changes in 20130112.
+
+20161210
+	+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
+	  where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
+	  development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
+	  the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
+	  Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
+	+ add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
+	  from a data file.
+	+ modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
+
+20161203
+	+ improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.
+	+ update curs_trace.3x manual page.
+
+20161126
+	+ modify linux-16color to not mask dim, standout or reverse with the
+	  ncv capability -TD
+	+ add 0.1sec mandatory delay to flash capabilities using the VT100
+	  reverse-video control -TD
+	+ omit selection of ISO-8859-1 for G0 in enacs capability from linux2.6
+	  entry, to avoid conflict with the user-defined mapping.  The reset
+	  feature will use ISO-8859-1 in any case (Mikulas Patocka).
+	+ improve check in tic for delays by also warning about beep/flash
+	  when a delay is not embedded, or if those use the VT100 reverse
+	  video escape without using a delay.
+	+ minor fix for syntax-check of delays from 20161119 changes.
+	+ modify trace() to avoid overwriting existing file (report by Maor
+	  Shwartz).
+
+20161119
+	+ add check in tic for some syntax errors of delays, as well as use of
+	  proportional delays for non-line capabilities.
+	+ document history of the clear program and the E3 extension, prompted
+	  by various discussions including
+	  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/87469/clearing-the-old-scrollback-buffer
+
+20161112
+	+ improve -W option in tic/infocmp:
+	  + correct order of size-adjustments in wrapped lines
+	  + if -f option splits line, do not further split it with -W
+	  + begin a new line when adding "use=" after a wrapped line
+
+20161105
+	+ fix typo in man/terminfo.tail (Alain Williams).
+	+ correct program-name in adacurses6-config.1 manual page.
+
+20161029
+	+ add new function "unfocus_current_field" (Leon Winter)
+
+20161022
+	+ modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
+	  screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
+	  setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
+	+ add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
+	  not optional in tput.
+	+ add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
+	+ improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
+	  for transformed names.
+	+ split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
+	  tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
+
 20161015
 	+ amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
 	  affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations.  While
