ncurses 6.2 - patch 20210320 + improve parameter-checking in tput by forcing it to analyze any extended string capability, e.g., as used in the Cs and Ms capabilities of the tmux description (report by Brad Town, cf: 20200531). + remove an incorrect free in the fallback (non-checking) version of _nc_free_and_exit (report by Miroslav Lichvar). + correct use-ordering in some xterm-direct flavors -TD + add hterm, hterm-256color (Mike Frysinger) + if the build-time compiler accepts c11's _Noreturn keyword, use that rather than gcc's attribute. + change configure-check for gcc's noreturn attribute to assume it is a prefix rather than suffix, matching c11's _Noreturn convention. + add "lint" rule to c++/Makefile, e.g., with cppcheck.

ncurses 5.7 - patch 20100501 + correct limit-check in wredrawln, accounting for begy/begx values (patch by David Benjamin). + fix most compiler warnings from clang. + amend build-fix for OpenSolaris, to ensure that a system header is included in curses.h before testing feature symbols, since they may be defined by that route.
