ffi-ncurses version 0.3.2  
by Sean O’Halpin  
[GitHub - seanohalpin/ffi-ncurses: Interface to ncurses using Ruby FFI (Foreign Function Interface)](http://github.com/seanohalpin/ffi-ncurses)

== DESCRIPTION

A wrapper for ncurses 5.x. Tested on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Ubuntu  
8.04 with ruby 1.8.6 using ruby-ffi (\>= 0.2.0) and JRuby 1.1.6.

The API is very much a transliteration of the C API rather than an  
attempt to provide an idiomatic Ruby object-oriented API. The intent  
is to provide a ‘close to the metal’ wrapper around the ncurses  
library upon which you can build your own abstractions.

See the examples directory for real working examples.

== CHANGES

- Bug fix:
  - Reversed regression in 0.3.1 which broke getmaxx, etc. for Mac
