It seems to be moving now (though I still am missing some of the email).
Just in case it got lost, here's last night's posting:

        20000923
                + modify rs2 capability in xterm-r6 and similar where cursor
                  save/restore bracketed the sequence for resetting video 
attributes. 
                  The cursor restore would undo that (from a NetBSD bug report 
by John
                  Hawkinson <address@hidden>).
                + using parameter check added to tic, corrected 27 typos in
                  terminfo.src -TD
                + modify tic to verify that its inputs are really files, in case
                  someone tries to read a directory (or /dev/zero).
                + add a check for empty buffers returned by fgets() in 
comp_scan.c
                  next_char() function, in case tic is run on a non-text file 
(fixes
                  a core dump reported by Aaron Campbell <address@hidden>).
                + add to railroad.c some code exercising tgoto(), providing an
                  alternate form of display if the terminal supports cursor 
addressing.
                + split-out tgoto() again, this time into new file lib_tgoto.c, 
and
                  implement a conventional BSD-style tgoto() which is used if 
the
                  capability string does not contain terminfo-style padding or
                  parameters (requested by Andrey A Chernov <address@hidden>).
                + add check to tic which reports capabilities that do not 
reference
                  the expected number of parameters.
                + add error checking to infocmp's -v and -m options to ensure 
that
                  the option value is indeed a number.
