Log:
  New port: devel/termbox Legacy-free alternative to ncurses

  Termbox is a library that provides minimalistic API which allows the
  programmer to write text-based user interfaces.

  It is based on a very simple abstraction. The main idea is viewing
  terminals as a table of fixed-size cells and input being a stream of
  structured messages. Would be fair to say that the model is inspired
  by windows console API. The abstraction itself is not perfect and it
  may create problems in certain areas. The most sensitive ones are
  copy & pasting and wide characters (mostly Chinese, Japanese, Korean
  (CJK) characters). When it comes to copy & pasting, the notion of
  cells is not really compatible with the idea of text. And CJK runes
  often require more than one cell to display them nicely. Despite the
  mentioned flaws, using such a simple model brings benefits in a form
  of simplicity. And KISS principle is important.

  At this point one should realize, that CLI (command-line interfaces)
  aren't really a thing termbox is aimed at. But rather
  pseudo-graphical user interfaces.
