guile-ncurses v3.0 released

I am pleased to announce the release of guile-ncurses 3.0

guile-ncurses is a library for the creation of text user interfaces in the GNU Guile dialect of the Scheme programming language.  It is a wrapper to the ncurses TUI library.  It contains some basic text display and keyboard and mouse input functionality, as well as a menu widget and a form widget.  It also has lower level terminfo and termios functionality.

Because of big changes to data representation, this release may have regressions.  Please report bugs to bug-guile-ncurses@gnu.org
