| Thomas,
|
| Do you have any idea why the version of ncurses in FreeBSD 12.0 (the latest)
is
| so ridiculously old? According to the header file and the the online
| documentation, ncurses on FreeBSD is version 5.9 (patch 20140222).

|
| I'm sure this is not under your control but perhaps you know someone that I
can
| complain to for the upcoming 12.1 release?
That's base.
The relevant feature is the port.
