Test: ncurses/-demo libncurses/-devel/++/w10 terminfo/-extra 6.3-2.20221224 (TEST)

[Cygwin ncurses Maintainer]

The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* ncurses			6.3-2.20221224
* ncurses-demo			6.3-2.20221224
* libncurses-devel		6.3-2.20221224
* libncurses++w10		6.3-2.20221224
* libncursesw10			6.3-2.20221224
* terminfo			6.3-2.20221224
* terminfo-extra		6.3-2.20221224

Please test these packages as extensively as possible (especially if you
are a Cygwin package maintainer) as libncursesw10 is used in many
libraries including libreadline and utilities including less, vim,
emacs, most other editors, screen, tmux, mail and web clients, and bash.
Package maintainers should install this test release and rerun checks of
as many libraries and packages depending on libncurses{,++}w10 as
possible. 

The ncurses (new curses) library is an emulation of Sys V R 4
curses, and more. It uses terminfo format, supports pads, color,
multiple highlights, forms characters, function key mapping,
and has all the other SVR4 curses enhancements over BSD curses.

As there are multiple components and many changes each release please
