+20170701
+       + modify update_getenv() in db_iterator.c to ensure that environment
+         variables which are not initially set will be checked later if an
+         application happens to set them (patch by Guillaume Maudoux).
+       + remove initialization-check for calling napms() in the term-driver
+         configuration; none is needed.
+       + add help-screen to test/test_getstr.c and test/test_get_wstr.c
+       + improve compatibility between different configurations of new_prescr,
+         fixing a case with threaded code and term-driver where c++/demo did
+         not work (cf: 20160213).
+       + the fixes for Redhat #1464685 obscured a problem subsequently
+         reported in Redhat #1464687; the given test-case was no longer
+         reproducible.  Testing without the fixes for the earlier reports
+         showed a problem with buffer overflow in dump_entry.c, which is
+         addressed by reducing the use of a fixed-size buffer.
+       + add/improve checks in tic's parser to address invalid input
+         (Redhat #1464684, #1464685, #1464686, #1464691).
+         + alloc_entry.c, add a check for a null-pointer.
+         + parse_entry.c, add several checks for valid pointers as well as
+           one check to ensure that a single character on a line is not
+           treated as the 2-character termcap short-name.
+       + fix a memory leak in delscreen() (report by Bai Junq).
+       + improve tracemunch, showing thread identifiers as names.
+       + fix a use-after-free in NCursesMenu::~NCursesMenu()
+       + further amend incorrect calls for memory-leaks from 20170617 changes
+         (report by Allen Hewes).
+
 20170624
        + modify c++/etip.h.in to accommodate deprecation of throw() and
          throws() in c++17 (prompted by patch by Romain Geissler).
