ncurses 5.9 - patch 20120616 + add configure check to distinguish clang from gcc to eliminate warnings about unused command-line parameters when compiler warnings are enabled. + improve behavior when updating terminfo entries which are hardlinked by allowing for the possibility that an alias has been repurposed to a new primary name. + fix some strict compiler warnings based on package scripts. + further fixes for configure check for working poll (Debian #676461).

ncurses 5.7 - patch 20090912 + add some test programs (and make these use the same special keys by sharing linedata.h functions): test/test_addstr.c test/test_addwstr.c test/test_addchstr.c test/test_add_wchstr.c + correct internal _nc_insert_ch() to use _nc_insert_wch() when inserting wide characters, since the wins_wch() function that it used did not update the cursor position (report by Ciprian Craciun).
