lcurses NEWS - User visible changes

Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]

Noteworthy changes in release 9.0.0 (2016-01-10) [stable]

  • This is the first standalone release since lcurses was absorbed into luaposix on 2011-09-09.

Incompatible Changes

  • posix.curses has been split back out into its own separate project again!

  • The ncurses-only KEY_MOUSE definition has been removed.

New Features

  • Can now be linked against NetBSD curses, albeit with several functions not implemented by that library returning a "not implemented" error as a consequence.

  • The curses library now includes reasonably comprehensive LDoc documentation (certainly much better than the single wooly web-page in previous releases).

  • Install curses.html documentation file correctly.

  • Add curses.A_COLOR (where supported by the underlying curses library) for extracting color pair assignments from the results of curses.window.winch.

  • Add missing curses.KEY_F31 constant.

  • All APIs now fully and correctly diagnose extraneous and wrong type arguments with an error.

  • This release adds wresize to curses. Several small improvements to the documentation were also added.

Bugs Fixed

  • Links to OpenGroup specs for curses function in section 3x now work.
