+20160813
+       + add a dependency upon generated-sources in Ada95/src/Makefile.in to
+         handle a case of "configure && make install".
+       + trim trailing blanks from include/Caps*, to work around a problem
+         in sed (Debian #818067).
+
+20160806
+       + improve CF_GNU_SOURCE configure macro to optionally define
+         _DEFAULT_SOURCE work around a nuisance in recent glibc releases.
+       + move the terminfo-specific parts of tput's "reset" function into
+         the shared reset_cmd.c, making the two forms of reset use the same
+         strings.
+       + split-out the terminal initialization functions from tset as
+         progs/reset_cmd.c, as part of changes to merge the reset-feature
+         with tput.
+
+20160730
+       + change tset's initialization to allow it to get settings from the
+         standard input as well as /dev/tty, to be more effective when
+         output or error are redirected.
+       + improve discussion of history and portability for tset/reset/tput
+         manual pages.
+
+20160723
+       + improve error message from tset/reset when both stderr/stdout are
+         redirected to a file or pipe.
+       + improve organization of curs_attr.3x, curs_color.3x
+
+20160709
+       + work around Debian's antique/unmaintained version of mawk when
+         building link_test.
+       + improve test/list_keys.c, showing ncurses's convention of modifiers
+         for special keys, based on xterm.
+
+20160702
+       + improve test/list_keys.c, using $TERM if no parameters areg given.
+
 20160625
        + build-fixes for ncurses "test_progs" rule.
        + amend change to CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS in 20160521 to make multilib build
