If I'm reading this patch correctly, it means that the old terminfo library cannot read the records for at least screen-256color and xterm-256color because they will be stored in version 3.
Yes, and I can fix that by implementing the full proposal with just a few more lines of code:
1. create a v1 entry with clamped values
2. create a v3 entry called <name>@v3
3. always lookup for <name>@v3 first and if that fails, use <name>.
I am not sure if it is worth it, as the user can always export TERM=xterm and export TERM=screen to get a slightly less functional and working setup.
But if people feel otherwise, I will make my fingers even shorter and implement it.
