Too bad about the symbol changes in 5.3 I can't use it yet, anyway

OK, that's an advantage. But what else does 5.3 gain us I wonder?

hey guys. I have a new revision of ncurses 5.2, which should also
know about apple's terminfo entries, as well as termcap stuff,
and I also packed up ncurses 5.3, which is binary compatible.
oops. it looks like they are not. some of the symbols have changed
names it seems. :-/ o well....
Ok, status update. it is bin compat with about 90% of ncurses
programs they say on the website. I have been working a lot with
both versions and can now have them both installed, and am actucally
working on splitoffs I hope to be able to submit to max later today.
Interesting - so the shlibs do have different versions after all? I
am a bit confused, this sounds like a contradition - first you say
5.3 can work as a drop in replacement (which requires *equal* major
versions of the dylib), then you say that you can splitoffize it so
that 5.3 and 5.2 coexist (which implies *different* major versions).
What do I miss?
The only issue is every program that links to ncurses will need
{build}depends on the correct versions. Easy stuff though, because
symlinks should take care of the legacy apps.
Cheers,
Max
