Message-ID: <20240121131100.23422-1-Brian.Inglis@SystematicSW.ab.ca> (raw)
The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
* ncurses 6.4-20240120
* ncurses-demo 6.4-20240120

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.
