+20180106
+	+ fixes for writing extended color pairs in putwin.
+	+ modify test/savescreen.c to add test patterns that exercise 88-,
+	  256-, etc., colors.
+	+ modify configure option --with-build-cc, adding clang, c89 and c99
+	  as possible default values.
+	+ modify ncurses-examples configure script to use pkg-config for the
+	  extra form/menu/panel libraries, to be more consistent with the
+	  handling of the curses/ncurses library.
+	+ modify test-packages for mingw to supply "pc" files.
+	+ modify gen-pkgconfig.in to list -lpthread as a private library when
+	  configured to access it via weak symbols.
+	+ simplify gen-pkgconfig.in, adding -ltinfo without the special linker
+	  checks because some versions of the linker simply hard-code the
+	  behavior.
+	+ update URLs for ncurses website to use https.
+	+ modify CF_CURSES_LIBS to fill in $cf_nculib_root in case the
+	  ncurses-examples are built with a system ncurses that lacks the
+	  standard "curses" symbolic link, as done by SuSE.  The symbol is
+	  needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and
+	  would be set properly using the options "--with-screen", etc.
+	+ generate misc/*.pc with "all" rule, as done for "sources" rule
+	  (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+
+20171230
+	+ build-fix for ncurses-examples with Fedora27, adding check for
+	  reset_color_pairs() -- not yet in Fedora's package.
+	+ consistently add $CFLAGS to $MK_SHARED_LIB symbol in configure
+	  script when the latter happens to use the C compiler rather than
+	  directly using the loader (report by Jeffrey Walton).
+	+ set ABI for upcoming 6.1 release in "*.map" files.  While there are
+	  some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are
+	  anticipated.
+	+ add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename
+	  conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.
+
+20171223
+	+ modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with
+	  PDCurses.
+	+ modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description,
+	  e.g., if there is a permission problem.
+	+ minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2.
+	+ assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also
+	  avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent
+	  if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder,
+	  OpenSuSE #1070450).
+	+ minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
+
+20171216
+	+ repair template in test/package/ncurses-examples.spec (cf: 20171111).
+	+ improve tic's warning about the number of parameters tparm might use
+	  for u1-u9 by making a special case for u6.
+	+ improve curs_attr.3x discussion of color pairs.
