+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.

        + improve configure CF_LD_SEARCHPATH macro used for ncurses*-config and
          ".pc" files, from dialog changes.
