Hi, [I'm also CC'ed peter@ since he is the maintainer of ncurses in base] As you may know, the current ncurses in the base system is rather old (it is 4 years old). I have been working on updating ncurses to the latest version 5.5 and enable wide character as default. I have put the description, goal, issues, current status, and tarball for test at the following URL: http://www.rafan.org/FreeBSD/ncurses/ I use the updated ncurses on my 7-CURRENT for sometime, everything works well. As I note in that page, there are some issues related to building framework of libncurses and related libraries. I hope there are some experienced people here can show me which way is most likely to be included in the base system. In addition to those issues, I hope some of you can test it and feedback. I really would like to see ncurses in base is updated in the near future. Regards, Rong-En Fan
