Hey there D community!
After a a bunch of years absence I'm getting back into D and its 
quite fun so far :-)

I'm working on a little project that is uses nice-curses and now 
I stumbled across a bug that makes building impossible on Windows 
for me. Luckily that was fixed 3 months ago, but the last 
nice-curses release is from 2017 :-(

So here are my questions:

1. Are there any plans in terms of future releases of nice-curses?
2. Is there a way to get a certain git-version (eg. commit or 
maybe even just "latest") for a package in dub?
3. How is everyone in general using curses with D? Is there maybe 
a different library I should checkout instead? Are you using 
latest git?

Best regards,
Droggl

JSON: "nice-curses": "~master"
SDL: dependency "nice-curses" version="~master"


 3. How is everyone in general using curses with D? Is there 
 maybe a different library I should checkout instead?

I usually use arsd.terminal instead.

git submodule and path-based dependencies, if you need a particular 
version.

dstep on curses.h and including that directly in my project.

I tried using (n)curses in D before, but eventually opted for a
D-specific solution: Adam Ruppe's terminal.d:

Fits much better with idiomatic D, and has served me very well since.
