+20170708
+	+ add a note to tic manual page about -W versus -f options.
+	+ correct a limit-check in fixes from 20170701 (report by Sven Joachim).
+
+20170701
+	+ modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
+	  variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
+	  application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
+	+ remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
+	  configuration; none is needed.
+	+ add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
+	+ improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
+	  fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
+	  not work (cf: 20160213).
+	+ the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
+	  reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
+	  reproducible.  Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
+	  showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
+	  addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
+	+ add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
+	  (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
+	  + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
+	  + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
+	    one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
+	    treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
+	+ fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
+	+ improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
+	+ fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
+	+ further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
+	  (report by Allen Hewes).
+
+20170624
+	+ modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and
+	  throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
+	+ remove some incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
+	  (report by Allen Hewes).
+	+ add test-programs for termattrs and term_attrs.
+	+ modify _nc_outc_wrapper to use the standard output if the screen was
+	  not initialized, rather than returning an error.
+	+ improve checks for low-level terminfo functions when the terminal
+	  has not been initialized (Redhat #1345963).
+	+ modify make_hash to allow building with address-sanitizer,
+	  assuming that --disable-leaks is configured.
+	+ amend changes for number_format() in 20170506 to avoid undefined
+	  behavior when shifting (patch by Emanuele Giaquinta).
+
+20170617
+	+ fill in some places where TERMTYPE2 vs TERMTYPE was not used
+	  (report by Allen Hewes).
+	+ use ExitTerminfo() internally in error-exits for ncurses' setupterm
+	  to help with leak checking.
+	+ use ExitProgram() in error-exit from initscr() to help with leak
+	  checking.
+	+ review test-programs, adding checks for cases where the terminal
+	  cannot be initialized.
+
+20170610
+	+ add option "-xp" to picsmap.c, to use init_extended_pair().
+	+ make simple performance fixes for picsmap.c
+	+ improve aspect ratio of images read from "convert" in picsmap.c
+
+20170603
+	+ add option to picsmap to use color-palette files, e.g., for mapping
+	  to xterm-256color.
+	+ move the data in SCREEN used for the alloc_pair() function to the
+	  end, to restore compatibility between ncurses/ncursesw libtinfo
+	  (report/patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
+	+ add build-time utility "report_offsets" to help show when the various
+	  configurations of tinfo library are compatible or not.
+
+20170527
+	+ improved test/picsmap.c:
+	  + lookup named colors for xpm files in rgb.txt
+	  + accept blanks in color-keys for xpm files.
+	  + if neither xbm/xpm work, try "convert", which may be available.
+
 20170520
 	+ modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files.
 	+ modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the
