+       + document --with-pcre2 configure option in INSTALL.
+       + improve workaround for special case in PutAttrChar() where a cell is
+         marked as alternate-character set, to handle a case where the
+         character in the cell does not correspond to any of the ASCII
+         fallbacks (report by Leon Winter, cf: 20180505).
+       + amend change to form library which attempted to avoid unnecessary
+         update of cursor position in non-public fields, to simply disable
+         output in this case (patch by Leon Winter, cf: 20180414).
+       + improve check for LINE_MAX runtime limit, to accommodate broken
+         implementations of sysconf().

        + improve manual page for wgetnstr, giving background for the length
