+20161231
+       + fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
+       + fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
+         were combined (report by Thomas Klausner).
+       + merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD
+       + modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay
+         between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
+       + modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
+         setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
+         consistently.
+       + explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
+       + add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
+         utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
+       + remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in
+         20161203.
+       + update config.guess, config.sub from
+               http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20161224
+       + correct parmeters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
+         (patch by Leon Winter).
+       + improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
+         patch by Mihail Konev).
+       + modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file
+         descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making
+         padding work.
+
+20161217
+       + add tput-colorcube demo script.
+       + add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
+       + flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
+         e.g., when called via putp.  This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
+         did not work after changes in 20130112.
+
 20161210
        + add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
          where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
