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.- Add ncurses patch 20180120 + build-fix in picsmap.c for stdint.h existence. + add --disable-stripping option to configure scripts. + modify ncurses-examples to install test-scripts in the data directory. + work around tool-breakage in Debian 9 and later by invoking gprconfig to specify the C compiler to be used by gnatmake, and conditionally suppressing Library_Options line for static libraries. + bump the compat level for test-packages to 7, i.e., Debian 5.- Add tack patch 1.08-20170818

The symbol is needed to make a followup check for the pthread library work, and would be set properly using the options \"--with-screen\", etc. + generate misc/
*.pc with \"all\" rule, as done for \"sources\" rule (report by Jeffrey Walton).

*.map\" files. While there are some remaining internals to apply, no ABI-related changes are anticipated. + add configure --with-config-suffix option to work around filename conflict with Redhat packages versus test-packages.- Add ncurses patch 20171223 + modify ncurses-examples to quiet const-warnings when building with PDCurses. + modify toe to not exit if unable to read a terminal description, e.g., if there is a permission problem. + minor fix for progs/toe.c, using _nc_free_termtype2. + assign 0 to pointer in _nc_tgetent_leak() after freeing it. Also avoid reusing pointer from previous successful call to tgetent if the latest call is unsuccessful (patch by Michael Schroeder, OpenSuSE #1070450). + minor fix for test/tracemunch, initialize $awaiting variable.
