+20180818
+       + build-fix for PDCurses with ncurses-examples.
+       + improved CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS.
+       + modify configure scripts to reduce relinking/ranlib during library
+         install (Debian #903790):
+         + use "install -p" when available, to avoid need for ranlib of
+           static libraries.
+         + modify scripts which use "--disable-relink" to add a 1-second
+           sleep to work around tools which use whole-second timestamps, e.g.,
+           in utime() rather than the actual file system resolution.
+       + add "--disable-touching" option for using "install -p" option during
+         the install, e.g., so that header-files have a predictable timestamp.
+
+20180804
+       + improve logic for clear with E3 extension, in case the terminal
+         scrolls content onto its saved-lines before actually clearing
+         the display, by clearing the saved-lines after clearing the
+         display (report/patch by Nicholas Marriott).
+
+20180728
+       + improve documentation regarding feature-test macros in curses.h
+       + improve documentation regarding the virtual and physical screens.
+       + formatting fixes for manpages, regenerate man-html documentation.
+

+       + build-fixes for gcc8.
+       + corrected acsc for wy50 -TD
+       + add wy50 and wy60 shifted function-keys as kF1 to kF16 -TD

+
+20180707
+       + build-fixes for gcc8.
+       + correct order of WINDOW._ttytype versus WINDOW._windowlist in
+         report_offsets.
+       + fix a case where tiparm could return null if the format-string was
+         empty (Debian #902630).
+
 20180630
        + add acsc string to vi200 (Nibby Nebbulous)
          add right/down-arrow to vi200's acsc -TD
