Just list if option names will be helpful. - Kirill Makurin ________________________________ From: Thomas Dickey Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2025 7:20 PM To: Kirill Makurin Cc: bug-ncurses Subject: Re: ANN: ncurses-6.6-20251230 On Wed, Dec 31, 2025 at 07:53:35AM +0000, Kirill Makurin wrote: > Hi Thomas, > > Would you like me to attempt to build this new release with MSVC?
