     you may encounter when building a system with different versions of
     ncurses:
 
+    6.2 (Feb 12, 2020)
+       Interface changes:
+
+       + the terminal database must be compiled with ncurses 6.2 tic;
+         older versions of tic/infocmp will not work.  Aside from that,
+         the compiled database will work with older applications.
+
+       + "*.pc" and "ncurses*-config" files give the same information.
+
+       + vwprintw and vwscanw are deprecated.
+
+       Added extensions:
+
+       + These make it simpler to substitute a debug-configuration of the
+         library for non-debug:
+               curses_trace
+               exit_curses
+               exit_terminfo
+
+       Added internal functions (other than "_sp" variants):
+
+       + These provide fast-lookup of common user-defined capabilities:
+               _nc_find_user_entry
+               _nc_get_userdefs_table
+               _nc_get_hash_user
+
+       + This is added to work around compiler-warnings:
+               _nc_fmt_funcptr
+
+       Removed internal functions:
+
+       + _nc_import_termtype
+
+       Modified internal functions:
+
+       + _nc_reserve_pairs no longer returns a value
