+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.

+       + 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.
