Comment (by pierre.labastie):

 Very lentghy release notes in the NEWS file, whose beginning is:
 {{{
These notes are for ncurses 6.2, released February 12, 2020.

This  release  is  designed  to  be source-compatible with ncurses 5.0
through  6.1; 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 user-defined
capabilities  in terminal descriptions. The release notes also mention
some other bug-fixes, but are focused on new features and improvements
to existing features since ncurses 6.1 release.

 [...]
