20180121 pre-release
        > terminfo changes:
        + add xterm+noalt, xterm+titlestack, xterm+alt1049, xterm+alt+title
          blocks from xterm #331 -TD
        + add xterm+direct, xterm+indirect, xterm-direct entries from xterm
          #331 -TD
        + modify xterm+256color and xterm+256setaf to use correct number of
          color pairs, for ncurses 6.1 -TD
        + add rs1 capability to xterm-256color -TD
        + modify xterm-r5, xterm-r6 and xterm-xf86-v32 to use xterm+kbs to
          match xterm #272, reflecting packager's changes -TD
        + remove "boolean" Se, Ss from st-0.7 -TD
        + add konsole-direct and st-direct -TD
        + remove unsupported "Tc" capability from st-0.7; use st-direct if
          direct-colors are wanted -TD
        + add vte-direct -TD
        + add XT, hpa, indn, and vpa to screen, and invis, E3 to tmux (patch by
          Pierre Carru)
        + use xterm+sm+1006 in xterm-new, vte-2014 -TD
        + use xterm+x11mouse in iterm, iterm2, mlterm3 because xterm's 1006
          mode does not work with those programs.  konsole is debatable -TD
        + add "termite" entry (report by Markus Pfeiffer) -TD
        > merge branch begun April 2, 2017 which provides these features:
        + support read/write new binary-format for terminfo which stores
          numeric capabilities as a signed 32-bit integer.  The test programs
          such as picsmap, ncurses were created or updated during 2017 to use
          this feature.
        + the new format is written by the wide-character configuration of
          tic when it finds a numeric capability larger than 32767.
        + other applications such as infocmp built with the wide-character
          ncurses library work as expected.
        + applications built with the "narrow" (8-bit) configuration will
          read the new format, but will limit those extended values to 32767.
        + in either wide/narrow configuration, the structure defined in
          term.h still uses signed 16-bit values.
        + because it is incompatible with the legacy (mid-1980s) binary format,
          a new magic value is provided for the "file" program.
        + the term.5 manual page is updated to describe this new format.
        + the limit on file-size for compiled terminfo is increased in the
          wide-character configuration to 32768.
