Beta 2 of the Curses Interface was released on June 29th, 2010. Here is a summary of changes from Beta 1.

Planned Features

 * Traditional "#" prompt for extended command input, as an alternative to the extended command menu interface (depending on setting of extmenu option)


 * Improved "Count:" prompt interface, either as a popup or in the message window, depending on the setting of the "popup_dialog" option


 * Eliminated flickering in the status window, resulting in greatly improved performance on all platforms


 * Added "shall I pick a character for you?" option, and integrated with the optional splash screen


 * Splash screen is only displayed if the terminal window is big enough


 * Fixed crash when dismissing character selection dialogs


 * Fix numberpad issue when playing remotely via PuTTY


 * Fully implemented group accelerators and preselected menu items


 * Initial NetHack windows are hidden until character is chosen


 * Specifying petattr now implies hilite_pet as well


 * PICK_NONE menus now return either 0 or -1, depending on if the menu was explicitly canceled (needed at least for ^X in wizard mode)
 * Hitting space now acts as the default answer for yn_function dialogs, as in the tty port


 * Selected menu options are now highlighted more clearly


 * Menus now accept a count
