+20171007
+	+ modify "-T" option of clear and tput to call use_tioctl() to obtain
+	  the operating system's notion of the screensize if possible.
+	+ review/repair some exit-codes for tput, making usage-message exit
+	  with 2 rather than 1, and a failure to open terminal 4+errno.
+	+ amend check in tput, tabs and clear to allow those to use the
+	  database-only features in cron if a -T option gives a suitable
+	  terminal name (report by Lauri Tirkkonen).
+	+ correct an ifdef in test/ncurses.c for systems with soft-keys but
+	  not slk_color().
+	+ regenerate man-html documentation.
+
+20170930
+	+ fix a symbol conflict that made ncurses.c C/c menu not work with
+	  Solaris xpg4 curses.
+	+ add refresh() call to dots_mvcur.c, needed to use mvcur() with
+	  Solaris xpg4 curses after calling newterm().
+	+ minor fixes for configure script from work on ncurses-examples and
+	  tin.
+	+ improve animation in test/xmas.c by adding a time-delay in blinkit().
+	+ modify several test programs to reflect that ncurses honors existing
+	  signal handlers in initscr(), while other implementations do not.
+	+ modify bs.c to make it easier to quit.
+	+ change ncurses-examples to use attr_t vs chtype to follow X/Open
+	  documentation more closely since Solaris xpg4-curses uses different
+	  values for WA_xxx vs A_xxx that rely on attr_t being an unsigned
+	  short.  Tru64 aka OSF1, HPUX, AIX did as ncurses does, equating the
+	  two sets.
+
+20170923
+	+ modify menu for test/ncurses.c to fit on 24-line screen.
+	+ build-fix for configure --with-caps=uwin
+	+ add options to test_arrays.c, for selecting termcap vs terminfo, etc.
+
+20170916
+	+ minor fix to test/filter.c to avoid clearing the command in one case.
+	+ modify filter() to discard clr_eos if back_color_erase is set.
+
 20170909
 	+ improve wide-character implementation of myADDNSTR() in frm_driver.c,
 	  which was inconsistent with the normal implementation.
