+ improve the tabs.1 manual page to distinguish the PWB/Unix and 7th
Edition versions of the tabs utility.
+ add configure check for getenv() to work around implementation shown
in Emscripten #6766, use that to optionally suppress START_TRACE
macro, whose call to getenv() may not work properly (report by Ilya
Ig Petrov).
+ modify initialization functions to avoid relying upon persistent
data for the result from getenv().
+ update config.guess, config.sub
+ formatting fixes for manpages, regenerate man-html documentation.
+ trim spurious whitespace from tmux in 2018-02-24 changes;
fix some inconsistencies in/between tmux- and iterm2-entries for SGR

+ add a "-d" option to picsmap for default-colors.
+ modify old terminology entry and a few other terminal emulators to
account for xon -TD
+ correct sgr string for tmux, which used screen's "standout" code
rather than the standard code (patch by Roman Kagan)
+ correct sgr/sgr0 strings in a few other cases reported by tic, making
those correspond to the non-sgr settings where they differ, but
otherwise use ECMA-48 consistently:
jaixterm, aixterm, att5420_2, att4424, att500, decansi, d410-7b,
dm80, hpterm, emu-220, hp2, iTerm2.app, mterm-ansi, ncrvt100an,
st-0.7, vi603, vwmterm -TD
+ build-fix for diagnostics warning in lib_mouse.c for pre-5.0 versions
of gcc which did not recognize the diagnostic "push" pragma (patch by
Vassili Courzakis).
+ 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
+ modify tset -w (and tput reset) to update the program's copy of the
screensize if it was already set in the system, to improve tabstop
setting which relies upon knowing the actual screensize.
+ add functionality of tset -w to tput, like the "-c" feature this is
not optional in tput.
+ add "clear" as a possible link/alias to tput.
+ improve tput's check for being called as "init" or "reset" to allow
for transformed names.
+ split-out the "clear" function from progs/clear.c, share with
tput to get the same behavior, e.g., the E3 extension.
+ amend internal use of tputs to consistently use the number of lines
affected, e.g., for insert/delete character operations. While
merging terminfo source early in 1995, several descriptions used the
"*" proportional delay for these operations, prompting a change in
doupdate.
+ regenerate llib-* files.
+ regenerate HTML manpages.
+ fix several formatting issues with manual pages.
+ modify the clear program to take into account the E3 extended
capability to clear the terminal's scrollback buffer (patch by
Miroslav Lichvar, Redhat #815790).
+ clarify in resizeterm manpage that LINES and COLS are updated.
+ updated ansi example in terminfo.tail, correct misordered example
of sgr.
+ fix other doclifter warnings for manpages
+ remove unnecessary ".ta" in terminfo.tail, add missing ".fi"
(patch by Eric Raymond).
+ minor changes to some configure macros to make them more reusable.
+ fixes for tabs program (prompted by report by Nick Andrik):
+ corrected logic in command-line parsing of -a and -c predefined
tab-lists options.
+ allow "-0" and "-8" options to be combined with others, e.g.,"-0d".
+ make warning messages more consistent with the other utilities by
not printing the full pathname of the program.
+ add -V option for consistency with other utilities.
+ fix off-by-one in columns for tabs program when processing an option
such as "-5" (patch by Nick Andrik).
+ review/fix places in manpages where --program-prefix configure option
was not being used.
+ add -D option to infocmp, to show the database locations that it
could use.
+ fix build for the special case where term-driver, ticlib and termlib
are all enabled. The terminal driver depends on a few features in
the base ncurses library, so tic's dependencies include both ncurses
and termlib.
+ fix build work for term-driver when --enable-wgetch-events option is
enabled.
+ use <stdint.h> types to fix some questionable casts to void*.
+ add special case to _nc_infotocap() to recognize the setaf/setab
strings from xterm+256color and xterm+88color, and provide a reduced
version which works with termcap.
+ remove obsolete emacs "Local Variables" section from documentation
(request by Sven Joachim).
+ update doc/html/index.html to include NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO.html
(report by Sven Joachim).
+ modify initialization check for win32con driver to eliminate need for
special case for TERM "unknown", using terminal database if available
(prompted by discussion with Roumen Petrov).
+ for MinGW port, ensure that terminal driver is setup if tgetent()
is called (patch by Roumen Petrov).
+ document tabs "-0" and "-8" options in manpage.
+ fix Debian "lintian" issues with manpages reported in
http://lintian.debian.org/full/csmall@debian.org.html#ncurses
+ correct cross-compiling configure check for CF_MKSTEMP macro, by
adding a check cache variable set by AC_CHECK_FUNC (report by
Pierre Labastie).
+ simplify include-dependencies of make_hash and make_keys, to reduce
the need for setting BUILD_CPPFLAGS in cross-compiling when the
build- and target-machines differ.
+ repair broken-linker configuration by restoring a definition of SP
variable to curses.priv.h, and adjusting for cases where sp-funcs
are used.
+ improve configure macro CF_AR_FLAGS, allowing ARFLAGS environment
variable to override (prompted by report by Pablo Cazallas).
+ build-fix for building outside source-tree (report by Sven Joachim).
+ fix Debian lintian warning for man/tabs.1 by making section number
agree with file-suffix (report by Sven Joachim).
+ continue integrating "sp-funcs" by Juergen Pfeifer (incomplete).
+ change several terminfo entries to make consistent use of ANSI
clear-all-tabs -TD
+ add "tabs" program (prompted by Debian #502260).
+ add configure --without-manpages option (request by Mike Frysinger).
