+       + modify misc/ncurses-config.in to make output with --includedir
+         consistent with --cflags, i.e., when --disable-overwrite option was
+         configured the output should show the subdirectory where headers
+         are.
+       + modify MKlib_gen.sh to suppress macros when calling an "implemented"
+         function in link_test.c
+       + updated ftp-url used in test-packages, etc.
+       + modify order of -pie/-shared options in configure script in case
+         LDFLAGS uses "-pie", working around a defect or limitation in the GNU
+         linker (prompted by patch by Yogesh Prasad, forwarded by Jay Shah).
+       + add entry in man_db.renames for user_caps.5
+
+20171125
+       + modify MKlib_gen.sh to avoid tracing result from getstr/getnstr
+         before initialized.
+       + add "-a" aspect-ratio option to picsmap.
+       + add configure check for default path of rgb.txt, used in picsmap.
+       + modify _nc_write_entry() to truncate too-long filename (report by
+         Hosein Askari, Debian #882620).
+       + build-fix for ncurses-examples with NetBSD curses:
+         + it lacks the use_env() function.
+         + it lacks libpanel; a recent change used the wrong ifdef symbol.
+       + add a macro for is_linetouched() and adjust the function's return
+         value to make it possible for most applications to check for an
+         error-return (report by Midolikawa H).
+       + additional manpage cleanup.
+       + update config.guess, config.sub from
+               http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+

        + add a note to curs_addch.3x on portability.
        + add a note to curs_pad.3x on the origin and portability of pads.
