Feature #4896: Add newpad() support to Curses

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: shugo (Shugo Maeda)
• Target version: 2.0.0

[drbrain (Eric Hodel)]

The ruby curses library lacks support for scrolling regions via newpad(). This patch adds support for newpad() as a subclass of Curses::Window.

May I apply it?

Why was this moved to 1.9.x?

I have used this patch to write a browser-like tool and it seems to work OK.

Can we have this in 1.9.3?

My bad, I though curses does not have a maintainer, so I moved this out from 1.9.3.
Shugo, please handle this.

1.9.3 feature is said to be freezed by Yugui, so it should be delayed to 1.9.4 in general. But all scheduled milestones are delaying so there might be a chance to be included in 1.9.3.

I thought feature freeze was pushed back to end of June?

The patch looks good, but I can't decide it should be included in 1.9.3 or not.
I defer to Yugui's judgement.
