+20161112
+ + improve -W option in tic/infocmp:
+ + correct order of size-adjustments in wrapped lines
+ + if -f option splits line, do not further split it with -W
+ + begin a new line when adding "use=" after a wrapped line
+
+20161105
+ + fix typo in man/terminfo.tail (Alain Williams).
+ + correct program-name in adacurses6-config.1 manual page.
+
+20161029
+ + 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.
+
+20161008
+ + adjust size in infocmp/tic to work with strlcpy.
+ + fix configure script to record when strlcat is found on OpenBSD.
+ + build-fix for "recent" OpenBSD vs baudrate.
+
+20161001
+ + add -W option to tic/infocmp to force long strings to wrap. This is
+ in addition to the -w option which attempts to fit capabilities into
+ a given line-length.
+ + add linux-m1 minitel entries (patch by Alexandre Montaron).
+ + correct rs2 string for vt100-nam -TD
+
+20160924
+ + modify _nc_tic_expand to escape comma if it immediately follows a
+ percent sign, to work with minitel change.
+ + updated minitel and viewdata descriptions (Alexandre Montaron).
+
+20160917
+ + build-fix for gnat6, which unhelpfully attempts to compile C files.
+ + fix typo in 20160910 changes (Debian #837892, patch by Sven Joachim).
+
+20160910
+ + trim dead code ifdef'd with HIDE_EINTR since 970830 (discussion with
+ Leon Winter).
+ + trim some obsolete/incorrect wording about EINTR from wgetch manual
+ page (patch by Leon Winter).
+ + really correct 20100515 change (patch by Rich Coe).
+ + add "--enable-string-hacks" option to test/configure
+ + completed string-hacks for "sprintf", etc., including test-programs.
+ + make "--enable-string-hacks" work with Debian by checking for the
+ "bsd" library and its associated "<bsd/string.h>" header.
+
20160903
+ correct 20100515 change for weak signals versus sigprocmask (report
by Rich Coe).
(SVr4) curses, which doesn't use 'const' in its prototypes.

Solaris curses.
- + modify _tracedump() to pad pad colors & attrs lines to match change

in 970101 showing first/last changes.
