Hi!
---

Lately I was working on one of my programs which makes use of the
ncurses 1.8.6. library which comes with the FreeBSD current distribution.
Thereby I noticed, that the ncurses library seems to have some
rather annoying bugs (i.e. scrolling does not work correctly,
the functions bkgdset etc do not work ...). A friend of mine uses
ncurses 1.8.7 on linux, and this version seems to have many of that
bugs fixed. 

So does anybody know, wheter ncurses 1.8.7 will be introduced into
the FreeBSD distribution and when this will happen ?!

Thanks in advance, Mickey

P.S: Please send replies via e-mail rather than by news. thx.
