ncurses 6.0 - patch 20151205 + update form_cursor.3x, form_post.3x, menu_attributes.3x to list function names in NAME section (patch by Jason McIntyre). + minor fixes to manpage NAME/SYNOPSIS sections to consistently use rule that either all functions which are prototyped in SYNOPSIS are listed in the NAME section, or the manual-page name is the sole item listed in the NAME section. The latter is used to reduce clutter, e.g., for the top-level library manual pages as well as for certain feature-pages such as SP-funcs and threading (prompted by patches by Jason McIntyre). + add option to preserve leading whitespace in form fields (patch by Leon Winter).
