+20171007
+       + modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
+         the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
+       + review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
+         with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
+       + amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
+         database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
+         terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
+       + correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
+         not slk_color().
+       + regenerate man-html documentation.

        + fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
          Solaris xpg4 curses.
