+ > terminfo changes:
+ + add xterm+noalt, xterm+titlestack, xterm+alt1049, xterm+alt+title
+ blocks from xterm #331 -TD
+ + add xterm+direct, xterm+indirect, xterm-direct entries from xterm
+ #331 -TD
+ + modify xterm+256color and xterm+256setaf to use correct number of
+ color pairs, for ncurses 6.1 -TD
+ + add rs1 capability to xterm-256color -TD
+ + modify xterm-r5, xterm-r6 and xterm-xf86-v32 to use xterm+kbs to
+ match xterm #272, reflecting packager's changes -TD
+ + remove "boolean" Se, Ss from st-0.7 -TD
+ + add konsole-direct and st-direct -TD
+ + remove unsupported "Tc" capability from st-0.7; use st-direct if
+ direct-colors are wanted -TD
+ + add vte-direct -TD
+ + add XT, hpa, indn, and vpa to screen, and invis, E3 to tmux (patch by
+ Pierre Carru)
+ + use xterm+sm+1006 in xterm-new, vte-2014 -TD
+ + use xterm+x11mouse in iterm, iterm2, mlterm3 because xterm's 1006
+ mode does not work with those programs. konsole is debatable -TD
+ + add "termite" entry (report by Markus Pfeiffer) -TD
+ > merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
+ + support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
+ numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer. The test programs
+ such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
+ this feature.
+ + the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
+ tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
+ + other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
+ ncurses library work as expected.
+ + applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
+ read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
+ + in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
+ term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
+ + because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
+ a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
+ + the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
+ + the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
+ wide-character configuration to 32768.
+
20180120
+ build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence.
+ add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts.
