Test: ncurses/-demo terminfo/-extra libncurses/-devel/++/w10 6.5+20240427 (TEST)

[Cygwin ncurses Maintainer]

The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* ncurses   6.5+20240427
* ncurses-demo  6.5+20240427
* terminfo  6.5+20240427
* terminfo-extra6.5+20240427
* libncurses-devel  6.5+20240427
* libncurses++w10   6.5+20240427
* libncursesw10 6.5+20240427

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.

For more information see the project home page:

https://invisible-island.net/ncurses


Please test these packages as extensively as possible (especially if you
are a Cygwin package maintainer) as libncursesw10 is used in many
libraries including libreadline and utilities including less, vim,
emacs, most other editors, screen, tmux, mail and web clients, and bash.
Package maintainers should install this test release and rerun checks of
as many libraries and packages depending on libncurses{,++}w10 as
possible.
If no issues are reported in the next few weeks, this release may be
promoted to current stable.


As there are multiple components and may be many changes each release,
see below or read /usr/share/doc/ncurses/ANNOUNCE and
/usr/share/doc/ncurses/NEWS after installation:

ncurses 6.5 April 27, 2024.

This release is designed to be source-compatible with ncurses 5.0
through 6.4; providing extensions to the application binary interface
(ABI).
Although the source can still be configured to support the ncurses 5
ABI, the reason for the release is to reflect improvements to the
ncurses 6 ABI and the supporting utility programs.

There are, of course, numerous other improvements, listed in this
announcement.

The most important bug-fixes/improvements dealt with robustness issues. 
The release notes also mention some other bug-fixes, but are focused on
new features and improvements to existing features since ncurses 6.4
release.

Library improvements

New features

These are new features:

- The low-level terminfo and termcap interfaces are used both by the
  higher-level curses library, as well as by many applications.
  The functions which convert parameterized terminal capability strings
  for output to the terminal (tiparm and t

Updated: setup (2.932)

[Jon Turney]

A new version of Setup (2.932) has been uploaded to:

 https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe  (64 bit version)
 https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe (32 bit version)

Changes compared to 2.931:

- Fix '--help' going into an endless loop when trying to line-break 
localized text which doesn't contain a space (Thanks to 赵伟)


- Fix handling of unicode in "Contribute to translations" link text

- Use "Microsoft YaHei UI" font for zh localized dialogs (Thanks to Yang 
Yu Lin)


- Use the actual processor architecture of the running setup (rather 
than the processor architecture selected for installation) in the URLs 
suggested for obtaining an updated setup.


- Likewise, display the actual processor architecture of the running 
setup (rather than the processor architecture selected for installation) 
in the splash page.



Replies to this message are not the place for setup feature requests.
