+20151219
+	+ add a paragraph to curs_getch.3x discussing key naming (discussion
+	  with James Crippen).
+	+ amend workaround for Solaris vs line-drawing to take the configure
+	  check into account.
+	+ add a configure check for wcwidth() versus the ncurses line-drawing
+	  characters, to use in special-casing systems such as Solaris.
+
+20151212
+	+ improve CF_XOPEN_CURSES macro used in test/configure, to define as
+	  needed NCURSES_WIDECHAR for platforms where _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
+	  does not work.  Also modified the test program to ensure that if
+	  building with ncurses, that the cchar_t type is checked, since that
+	  normally is since 20111030 ifdef'd depending on this test.
+	+ improve 20121222 workaround for broken acs, letting Solaris "work"
+	  in spite of its misconfigured wcwidth which marks all of the line
+	  drawing characters as double-width.
+
+20151205
+	+ update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list
+	  function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre).
+	+ minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use
+	  rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are
+	  listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item
+	  listed in the NAME section.  The latter is used to reduce clutter,
+	  e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain
+	  feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by
+	  Jason McIntyre).
+
+20151128
+	+ add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by
+	  Leon Winter).
+	+ add missing assignment in lib_getch.c to make notimeout() work
+	  (Debian #805618).
+	+ add 't' toggle for notimeout() function in test/ncurses.c a/A screens
+	+ add viewdata terminal description (Alexandre Montaron).
+	+ fix a case in tic/infocmp for formatting capabilities where a
+	  backslash at the end of a string was mishandled.
+	+ fix some typos in curs_inopts.3x (Benno Schulenberg).
+
+20151121
+	+ fix some inconsistencies in the pccon* entries -TD
+	+ add bold to pccon+sgr+acs and pccon-base (Tati Chevron).
+	+ add keys f12-f124 to pccon+keys (Tati Chevron).
+	+ add test/test_sgr.c program to exercise all combinations of sgr.
+
+20151107
+	+ modify tset's assignment to TERM in its output to reflect the name by
+	  which the terminal description is found, rather than the primary
+	  name.  That was an unnecessary part from the initial conversion of
+	  tset from termcap to terminfo.  The termcap program in 4.3BSD did
+	  this to avoid using the short 2-character name (report by Rich
+	  Burridge).
+	+ minor fix to configure script to ensure that rules for resulting.map
+	  are only generated when needed (cf: 20151101).
+	+ modify configure script to handle the case where tic-library is
+	  renamed, but the --with-debug option is used by itself without
+	  normal or shared libraries (prompted by comment in Debian #803482).
+
 20151101
 	+ amend change for pkg-config which allows build of pc-files when no
 	  valid pkg-config library directory was configured to suppress the
