+20170902
+       + amend change for endwin-state for better consistency with the older
+         logic (report/patch by Jeb Rosen, cf: 20170722).
+       + modify check in fmt_entry() to handle a cancelled reset string
+         (Debian #873746).  Make similar fixes in other parts of dump_entry.c
+         and tput.c
+
+20170827
+       + fix a bug in repeat_char logic (cf: 20170729, report by Chris Clayton).
+
+20170826
+       + fixes for "iterm2" (report by Leonardo Brondani Schenkel) -TD
+       + corrected a warning from tic about keys which are the same, to skip
+         over missing/cancelled values.
+       + add check in tic for unnecessary use of "2" to denote a shifted
+         special key.
+       + improve checks in trim_sgr0, comp_parse.c and parse_entry.c, for
+         cancelled string capabilities.
+       + add check in _nc_parse_entry() for invalid entry name, setting the
+         name to "invalid" to avoid problems storing entries.
+       + add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
+         + add a check in comp_scan.c to handle the special case where a
+           nontext file ending with a NUL rather than newline is given to tic
+           as input (Redhat #1484274).
+         + allow for cancelled capabilities in _nc_save_str (Redhat #1484276).
+         + add validity checks for "use=" target in _nc_parse_entry (Redhat
+           #1484284).
+         + check for invalid strings in postprocess_termcap (Redhat #1484285)
+         + reset secondary pointers on EOF in next_char() (Redhat #1484287).
+         + guard _nc_safe_strcpy() and _nc_safe_strcat() against calls using
+           cancelled strings (Redhat #1484291).
+       + correct typo in curs_memleaks.3x (Sven Joachim).
+       + improve test/configure checks for some curses variants not based on
+         X/Open Curses.
+       + add options for test/configure to disable checks for form, menu and
+         panel libraries.
