+20170520
+	+ modify test/picsmap.c to read xpm files.
+	+ modify package/debian/* to create documentation packages, so the
+	  related files can be checked with lintian.
+	+ fix some typos in manpages (report/patch by Sven Joachim).
+
+20170513
+	+ add test/picsmap.c to fill in some testing issues not met by dots.
+	  The initial version reads X bitmap (".xbm") files.
+	+ repair logic which forces a repaint where a color-pair's content is
+	  changed (cf: 20170311).
+	+ improve tracemunch, showing screenXX pointers as names.
+
+20170506
+	+ modify tic/infocmp display of numeric values to use hexadecimal when
+	  they are "close" to a power of two, making the result more readable.
+	+ improve discussion of portability in curs_mouse.3x
+	+ change line-length for generated html/manpages to 78 columns from 65.
+	+ improve discussion of line-drawing characters in curs_add_wch.3x
+	  (prompted by discussion with Lorinczy Zsigmond).
+	+ cleanup formatting of hackguide.html and ncurses-intro.html
+	+ add examples for WACS_D_PLUS and WACS_T_PLUS to test/ncurses.c
+
+20170429
+	+ corrected a case where $with_gpm was set to "maybe" after CF_WITH_GPM,
+	  overlooked in 20160528 fixes (report by Alexandre Bury).
+	+ improve a couple of test-program's help-messages.
+	+ corrected loop in rain.c from 20170415 changes.
+	+ modify winnstr and winchnstr to return error if the output pointer is
+	  null, as well as adding a null pointer check of the window pointer
+	  for better compatibility with other implementations.
+	+ improve discussion of NetBSD curses in scr_dump.5
+	+ modify LIMIT_TYPED macro in new_pair.h to avoid changing sign of the
+	  value to be limited (reports by Darby Payne, Rob Boudreau).
+	+ update config.guess, config.sub from
+		http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git
+
+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
