The terminfo package has been updated to version 5.7_20090221-1.  It
contains the terminfo database that enables proper operation of
ncurses-based applications.

This will most likely be the final terminfo update for the cygwin-1.5
distribution; future development will continue with
terminfo-5.7_20090221-10 for cygwin-1.7.

************************
IMPORTANT:  You must upgrade libncurses8 (to 5.7-1) and terminfo (to
5.7_20090221-1) simultaneously.
************************


CHANGES (since 5.5_20061104-1)
========================
o Resync'ed with 20090221 patchlevel of ncurses-5.7
o Build using stock cygport 0.4.3
o Split into two packages: terminfo and terminfo-extra.
  - terminfo contains the same terminals provided by Fedora 10's
    'ncurses-base' package, such as cygwin, vt*, xterm*,
    putty*, screen*, and rxvt*, and a few others.
  - terminfo-extra contains everything else.
o Upstream changes:
  - /usr/share/terminfo database now organized by hex code
    of first character (e.g. instead of r/rxvt, we have 72/rxvt
    (0x72 == 'r'). See warning, below.


WARNING:
========================
Because of a slight change in the organization of the terminfo database,
terminfo entries NOT part of the terminfo package may need to be
manually upgraded or moved.  To improve operation on case-insensitive
platforms, the terminfo database is now organizaed according to the
two-digit hexadecimal code of the entry's first letter, instead of
organized according to that first letter itself.  For instance:

  OLD             --->   NEW
  r/rxvt-unicode         72/rxvt-unicode

To "fix" any out-of-place entries, you may manually move them to the
correct location, or re-run tic.exe on the original terminfo source for
that terminal.  In the case of rxvt-unicode:

$ /etc/postinstall/rxvt-unicode.sh.done

will do the job.
