+20170422
+	+ build-fix for termcap-configuration (report by Chi-Hsuan Yen).
+	+ improve terminfo manual page discussion of control- and graphics-
+	  characters.
+	+ remove tic warning about "^?" in string capabilities, which was
+	  marked as an extension (cf: 20000610, 20110820); however all Unix
+	  implementations support this and X/Open Curses does not address it.
+	  On the other hand, termcap never did support this feature.
+	+ correct missing comma-separator between string capabilities in
+	  icl6402 and m2-nam -TD
+	+ restore rmir/smir in ansi+idc to better match original ansiterm+idc,
+	  add alias ansiterm (report by Robert King).
+	+ amend an old check for ambiguous use of "ma" in terminfo versus
+	  a termcap use, if the capability is cancelled to treat it as number.
+	+ correct a case in _nc_captoinfo() which read "%%" and emitted "%".
+	+ modify sscanf calls in _nc_infotocap() for patterns "%{number}%+%c"
+	  and "%'char'%+%c" to check that the final character is really 'c',
+	  avoiding a case in icl6404 which cannot be converted to termcap.
+	+ in _nc_infotocap(), add a check to ensure that terminfo "^?" is not
+	  written to termcap, because the BSDs did not implement that.
+	+ in _nc_tic_expand() and _nc_infotocap(), improve string-length check
+	  when deciding whether to use "^X" or "\xxx" format for control
+	  characters, to make the output of tic/infocmp more predictable.
+	+ limit termcap "%d" width to 2 digits on input, and use "%2" in
+	  preference to "%02" on output.
+	+ correct terminfo/termcap conversion of "%02" and "%03" into "%2" and
+	  "%3"; the result repeated the last character.
+	+ add man/scr_dump.5 to document screen-dump format.
+
+20170415
+	+ modify several test programs to use new popup_msgs, adapted from
+	  help-screen used in test/edit_field.c
+	+ drop two symbols obsoleted in 2004: _nc_check_termtype, and
+	  _nc_resolve_uses
+	+ fix some old copyright dates (cf: 20031025).
+	+ build-fixes for test/savescreen.c to work with AIX and HPUX.
+	+ minor fix to configure script, adding a backslash/continuation.
+	+ extend TERMINAL structure for ABI 6 to store numbers internally as
+	  integers rather than short, by adding new data for this purpose.
+	+ more fixes for minor memory-leaks in test-programs.
+
 20170408
 	+ change logic in wins_nwstr() to avoid addressing data past the output
 	  of mbstowcs().
