+20170114
+	+ improve discussion of early history of tset/reset programs.
+	+ clarify in manual pages that the optional verbose option level is
+	  available only when ncurses is configured for tracing.
+	+ amend change from 20161231 to avoid writing traces to the standard
+	  error after initializing the trace feature using the environment
+	  variable.
+
+20170107
+	+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
+	  is run as "reset", like tset.  Likewise, ensure that tset sends
+	  either reset- or init-strings.
+	+ improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
+	  to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
+	+ move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
+	+ modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
+	  state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
+	  the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
+	+ improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
+	+ move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
+	  and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
+	  compatibility (cf:  20120714).
+	+ correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
+	  use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.
+
+20161231
+	+ fix errata for ncurses-howto (report by Damien Ruscoe).
+	+ fix a few places in configure/build scripts where DESTDIR and rpath
+	  were combined (report by Thomas Klausner).
+	+ merge current st description (report by Harry Gindi) -TD
+	+ modify flash capability for linux and wyse entries to put the delay
+	  between the reverse/normal escapes rather than after -TD
+	+ modify program tabs to pass the actual tty file descriptor to
+	  setupterm rather than the standard output, making padding work
+	  consistently.
+	+ explain in clear's manual page that it writes to stdout.
+	+ add special case for verbose debugging traces of command-line
+	  utilities which write to stderr (cf: 20161126).
+	+ remove a trace with literal escapes from skip_DECSCNM(), added in
+	  20161203.
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
+		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+20161224
+	+ correct parmeters for copywin call in _nc_Synchronize_Attributes()
+	  (patch by Leon Winter).
+	+ improve color-handling section in terminfo manual page (prompted by
+	  patch by Mihail Konev).
+	+ modify programs clear, tput and tset to pass the actual tty file
+	  descriptor to setupterm rather than the standard output, making
+	  padding work.
+
+20161217
+	+ add tput-colorcube demo script.
+	+ add -r and -s options to tput-initc demo, to match usage in xterm.
+	+ flush the standard output in _nc_flush for the case where SP is zero,
+	  e.g., when called via putp.  This fixes a scenario where "tput flash"
+	  did not work after changes in 20130112.
+
+20161210
+	+ add configure script option --disable-wattr-macros for use in cases
+	  where one wants to use the same headers for ncurses5/ncurses6
+	  development, by suppressing the wattr* macros which differ due to
+	  the introduction of extended colors (prompted by comments in
+	  Debian #230990, Redhat #1270534).
+	+ add test/tput-initc to demonstrate tput used to initialize palette
+	  from a data file.
+	+ modify test/xterm*.dat to use the newer color4/color12 values.
+
 20161203
 	+ improve discussion of field validation in form_driver.3x manual page.
 	+ update curs_trace.3x manual page.
