The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:
* ncurses-5.9-20140524-1
* ncurses-demo-5.9-20140524-1
* libncurses10-5.9-20140524-1 (x86 only)
* libncursesw10-5.9-20140524-1
* libncurses-devel-5.9-20140524-1
* terminfo-5.9-20140524-1
* terminfo-extra-5.9-20140524-1
Ncurses (new curses) started as a freely distributable clone of SVr4
curses. It has outgrown the clone description, and now contains many
features which are not in SVr4 curses. Curses is a pun on the term
"cursor optimization". It is a library of functions that manage an
application's display on character-cell terminals.
This release updates ncurses to the latest upstream patch release, and
consolidates the packaging differences between the two arches:
* Wide character support is now the default throughout.
* The duplicate ncurses and ncursesw packages are merged into a single
ncurses package; the same goes for the demo and devel subpackages.
* All packages built from now on with libncurses-devel will now depend
on libncursesw10; the 'w'-less import libraries and headers are now just
aliases.
* On x86, libncurses10 (narrow-char) is still provided for the benefit
of packages previously built for it.
* On x86_64, terminfo-extra is split out from terminfo as it has been on
x86.
