https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#relicensed
+ modify comparison in make_hash.c to correct a special case in
collision handling for Caps-hpux11

account for xon -TD
+ correct sgr string for tmux, which used screen's "standout" code

+ 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

(discussion with Nicholas Marriott)
+ add test-programs sp_tinfo and extended_color
+ modify no-leaks code for lib_cur_term.c to account for the tgetent()
cache.

color- and pair-values larger than 16-bits:
+ getcchar(), setcchar(), slk_attr_set(), vid_puts(), wattr_get(),
wattr_set(), wchgat(), wcolor_set().
+ Other functions call these with the corresponding altered behavior,
including chgat(), mvchgat(), mvwchgat(), slk_color_on(),
slk_color_off(), vid_attr().
+ add new functions for manipulating color- and pair-values larger
than 16-bits. These are extended_color_content(),
extended_pair_content(), extended_slk_color(), init_extended_color(),
init_extended_pair(), and the corresponding sp-funcs.
+ updated llib-* files.
+ build-fixes for ncurses library "test_progs" rule.

curs_trace.3x, and curs_window.3x
+ realign these related pages:
curs_add_wchstr.3x
curs_addchstr.3x
curs_addstr.3x
curs_addwstr.3x
and fix a long-ago error in curs_addstr.3x which said that a -1
length parameter would only write as much as fit onto one line
(report by Reuben Thomas).
+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_memmove() for memmove()/bcopy().
+ remove obsolete fallback _nc_strdup() for strdup().
+ cancel any debug-rpm in package/ncurses.spec
+ reviewed vte-2012, reverted most of the change since it was incorrect
based on testing with tack -TD
+ un-cancel the initc in vte-256color, since this was implemented
starting with version 0.20 in 2009 -TD
+ 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

+ fix a null-pointer check in _nc_format_slks() in lib_slk.c, from
20070704 changes.
+ modify _nc_find_type_entry() to use hashing.
+ make CCHARW_MAX value configurable, noting that changing this would
change the size of cchar_t, and would be ABI-incompatible.
+ modify test-programs, e.g,. test/view.c, to address subtle
differences between Tru64/Solaris and HPUX/AIX getcchar() return
values.
+ modify length returned by getcchar() to count the trailing null
which is documented in X/Open (cf: 20020427).
+ fixes for test programs to build/work on HPUX and AIX, etc.
+ modify configure script to note that --enable-ext-colors and
--enable-ext-mouse are not experimental, but extensions from
