We are pleased to announce that libgnt 2.15.0 has been released!

This release has been a long time in the making and we probably should have done it long ago.

The biggest changes in this release is that we now use `pkg-config` to find `ncurses` and we make sure to declare which version of `ncurses` we used in `gnt.pc` so applications using libgnt shouldn’t need to search for `ncurses` themselves anymore.
