ncurses-ruby 0.9 has been released
What is it
ncurses-ruby is a ruby extension for accessing the ncurses library.
Ncurses is a library for manipulating character-cell based terminals.
Compared to other wrappers of curses functionality, ncurses-ruby aims at
completeness and close resemblance to the C API (a README file explains
how to map the ncurses C API docs to ncurses-ruby). The panel and form
extensions to curses are also supported.
What’s new
- The forms wrapper was contributed by Simon Kaczor. “form” is a curses
extension for programming forms, like input fields. - ncurses-ruby now also works with ncurses-4.2 (an old release from
1998). - First release featuring a binary for Sharp Zaurus (arm-linux).
