Update to 1.29:

New in 1.29 (Released April 6, 2014)

  Add an alternate set of functions (getchar, ungetchar, getstring,
  instring, addstring, insstring) providing a more Perl-like interface,
  converting from and to Perl strings (instead of passing data to the C
  library verbatim) and using wide character functions if available in the
  underlying curses library.
