Where did you get this text from? It is nowhere to be found in
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html.
Also, you're updating from 20251231 to 20260425, there have been
multiple releases, so surely the changelog is longer than that.
If you're using AI to generate those patches and their commit logs,
stop immediately. We don't have the time to review AI slop.

The items are in the NEWS file, but I paraphrased poorly and grouped
them incorrectly:
- The poll()/errno fix is from 20260411:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html#t20260411
- The _nc_write_object, _nc_trim_sgr0, and read_SGR fixes are from
20260418 (credited to Anthropic):
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html#t20260418
- The _nc_mouse_parse fix and konsole-direct/mintty/linux-alt1049
are from 20260404:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html#t20260404
I also got the _nc_trim_sgr0 description wrong -- it was a
source-pointer correction, not a limit-check.

Yes, there are 17 intermediate snapshots (20260103 through 20260425)
and the commit message only covered 2-3 of them. That was a mistake.

Understood. I will send a v2 with a proper commit message covering
all intermediate snapshots, written from the upstream NEWS file.

I got the reference to the page from the repo itself
- https://github.com/mirror/ncurses/blob/master/ANNOUNCE
"Full manual pages are provided for the library and tools.
The ncurses distribution is available at ncurses' homepage:
https://invisible-island.net/archives/ncurses/ or
https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/ncurses/
"
The changelog can also be found in:
- https://github.com/mirror/ncurses/blob/master/NEWS

I paraphrased the changelog incorrectly and incompletely:
- The poll()/errno fix is from 20260411:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html#t20260411
- The _nc_write_object, _nc_trim_sgr0, and read_SGR fixes are from
20260418:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html#t20260418
- The _nc_mouse_parse fix and konsole-direct/mintty/linux-alt1049
are from 20260404:
https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html#t20260404

I used AI assistance when drafting the commit message, which contributed
to the inaccurate summaries. I should have verified the generated text more
carefully against the upstream changelog before submitting.
I will send a v2 with a proper commit message covering all intermediate
snapshots, written from the upstream NEWS file.
Best Regards,
Shubham
