+       + add new function "unfocus_current_field" (Leon Winter)
+
+20161022
+       + modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
+         screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
+         setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
+       + add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
+         not optional in tput.
+       + add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
+       + improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
+         for transformed names.
+       + split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
+         tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
+
+20161015
+       + amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
+         affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations.  While
+         merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
+         "*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
+         doupdate.
+       + regenerate llib-* files.
+       + regenerate HTML manpages.
+       + fix several formatting issues with manual pages.

        + adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
        + fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
