It is often used instead of termcap. This is a packaging bug fix, and an update to latest upstream. [[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]] This release is specific for cygwin-1.7. It differs from the simultaneously-released ncurses-5.7-5 for cygwin-1.5 in several ways: 1) The cygwin-1.7 version has been updated to upstream patchlevel 20090321; the cygwin-1.5 version remains at 20090228. 2) The standard documentation differences related to cygport-0.9.5 vs. cygport-0.4.4. CHANGES since 5.7-13 ======================== o Rebuild to correct a problem with man pages incorrectly installed. Thanks to Lee Rothstein for the report. o Updated to latest upstream patchset 20090321, which includes many of our pre-existing cygwin patches. (old) CHANGES since 5.5-3: ======================== o Fork for cygwin-1.7 development o Update to latest release (5.7) with current patchset (20090228) o Build using stock cygport 0.9.4 o Build using --with-ticlib (separate add-on library exposes internal ncurses details), so that the (now) separately-distributed tack program can link successfully. - libncurses9 package now additionally includes cygtic-9.dll o Turned on 5-button mouse support and sp-funcs - these changes, together with the separate ticlib and termlib, constitute a new ABI, which is why the DLL version number was bumped to 9. o Did not enable reentrancy, threading support, or wide character support. For the first two, see /usr/share/doc/ncurses-*/ThreadingSupport. The last item may be added later, but only for cygwin-1.7. o Modified spelling of public, but accessor-wrapped data symbols to avoid "private" _nc_* namespace. This ABI change does NOT affect the API as used by clients (that is, no source code changes should be needed). o Added preremove script, in preparation for deprecating the back-compatibility symlinks in /usr/lib/ncurses and /usr/include. o Upstream changes: - tack program now distributed separately - pkg-config .pc files now provided - ncurses9-config script now provided - many more demo programs in ncurses-demo - /usr/share/terminfo database now organized by hex code of first character (e.g. instead of r/rxvt, we have 72/rxvt (0x72 == 'r'). -- Charles Wilson volunteer ncurses maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
