Dickey <dickey@invisible-island.net> + +This version of dialog was originally from a Debian snapshot. I've done this +to it: + +2008/08/19 + + amend changes to quoting; by default, the checklist widget quotes its + output except when --separate-output is used (Debian #495600). + + add eo.po from + http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ + +2008/07/27 + + add pointer-check when closing piped input (cf: 2007/03/25) + + use here-documents rather than echo, when passing backslashes in + strings, to accommodate the Debian shell "dash" (Debian #489563). + + recode several ".po" files to UTF-8 for consistency. + + change --separator to be an alias for --output-separator, for + compatibility with Xdialog. + + add --output-separator option to allow scripts to change the output + separator from a newline (for --separate-output) or a space. This + applies to other widgets such as forms and editboxes which normally + use a newline. + + add --column-separator option, to tell where column-aligned data for + radio/checkboxes or menus should be split into columns (request by + Ben Dibbens). + + add id.po, ku.po, lt.po, nb.po and update ca.po, fr.po, gl.po, ja.po, + th.po from + http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ + + add "--quoted" option, to quote values returned by formbox, etc. + + change names of EX/ES macros in dialog.1 to work around name- + pollution caused by changes in Debian #470729. + +2008/03/16 + + modify dlg_mouse_wgetch() to loop only on errors that it detects, + rather than on errors forwarded from dlg_getc(), in case those are + due to a disconnected terminal (report by Anatoli Sakhnik). + + allow "default" color in dialogrc file (request by Dashing). + + fix an indexing error in formbox (Debian #469190, report by Dmitry + Gomerman, patch by Vladimir Mezentsev). + + add bindings for CTL/N, CTL/P to checklist, fselect and menubox + widgets (prompted by discussion with John Gatewood Ham). + + add be@latin.po, th.po and update zh_TW.po from + http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ + > patches by Peter Astrand: + + modify dlg_auto_sizefile() to ensure the computed height and width + do not extend beyond the screen size. + + use unctrl() to make inputstr.c work with Solaris curses. + > patches by Yura Kalinichenko: + + extend pause widget to use ok/cancel buttons (the former giving the + same result as a timeout), rather than an exit-button. + + fix initialization parameter of inputbox for multibyte characters. + +2007/10/28 + + improve layout of checklist.c, menubox.c, ensuring that the list fits + within the available space (report by Gordon Schumacher). + + undo removal of redundant chunk from checklist.c in 2007/02/27, + since some scripts depend on this (Debian #443077). + + update nl.po from + http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ + +2007/09/30 + + correct cursor position in editbox after deleting past left margin + (report by Joe McDonagh). + + add "--no-ok" option (patch by Klaus Knopper). + + modify "--file" option to allow it to read from sources other than + a regular file (patch by Pieter van Beek). + + improved hi.po (Hindi) (from Klaus Knopper). + + fix masking of attributes in dlg_draw_shadow() which lost + line-drawing bit (report by David Everly). + + fix editbox widget to handle zero-length files (report by Joe + McDonagh). + + update "po" files eu.po ga.po it.po ms.po sv.po vi.po wa.po zh_CN.po + from + http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ + +2007/07/04 + + revise the resizable shadows so textbox's search dialog has text + visible in the shadow again. + + improve the prefixing of autoconf-related symbols in the installed + header files, taking into account symbols which are not mentioned in + dlg_config.h + + add a check when ERR returned from wgetch() to ensure that the + input/output streams are still valid. If that happens, force + ESC to be returned, quitting dialog (report by Reiner Huober). + + add extern "C" declarations to dlg_keys.h so the corresponding + function declarations are exported to C++ as C symbols. + + updated config.guess, config.sub + +2007/06/04 + + fix a memory leak in editbox.c + + revise change from 2007/02/27 which moved the logic for trimming + option text out of the loop because that moved it before + initialization of the "--trim" option. Put it back in the loop, but + limit the tokens which are trimmed to cover only those for the + current widget. Also ensure that all tokens for a widget are + trimmed, rather than only the first, which is usually text (report by + Lai Zit Seng). + + add _FILE_OFFSET_BITS definition in CF_LARGEFILE configure macro. + +2007/05/28 + + revise changes needed to make textbox's searchbox handle ncurses + resizing events, e.g., by handling the ERR in that code rather than + in dlg_getc() (Debian #423732). + +2007/05/14 + + supply a repaint_text() call in tailbox.c which was bypassed because + dlg_getc() now retries on ERR (Debian #423732, cf: 2007/02/27). + + modify dlg_getc() to fix regression in 2007/02/27 for use of + timeouts, broken by fixes to allow resizing of textbox (patch by + Arnaud Fontaine, Debian #418905). + + modify dlg_getc() to fix regression in use of TAB for traversal of + tailboxbg widgets due to changes for user-definable key bindings + (Debian #418917, cf: 2005/12/07). + +2007/04/09 + + add case in dlg_getc() to handle tab for traversing between widgets + as in the samples/tailboxbg1 script. Normally the key binding + overrides, except for the special case where multiple widgets are + available. + + add configure --with-libtool-opts, which passes its value to the + library creation and linkage passes, e.g., + --with-libtool-opts=-static + to force the result to be static libraries (prompted by a related + request by Santiago Vila). + > several fixes based on Coverity scan: + + fix memory leak in timebox, calendar widgets if the widget cannot + be created. + + fix memory leak in dlg_key.c if a user binding's storage cannot + be allocated. + + fix improperly delinked entry in dlg_del_window(). + +2007/03/25 + + improve mkdirs.sh to ignore error from mkdir if the target directory + happens to already exist (suggested by Harald van Dijk). + + amend documentation for --gauge to reflect longstanding quirk which + allows it to read percentage from the first line after an "XXX" + (Debian #415596). + + fix makefile dependency so "configure && make install-lib" works. + + fix resizing of msgbox; the message was not repainted (Debian + #415022, patch by Brian Rolfe). + + fix typo in makefile LIB_OBJECT symbol from 2007/02/27 changes. + + improve CF_MBSTATE_T by including stdio.h, needed on Tru64 to make + the test-compile work. + + change makefile to install dialog.3 as part of install-lib rather + than install-man (report by Thomas Klausner). + + use $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) for installing dialog-config (report by + Santiago Vila). + +2007/02/27 + + add dialog-config script, which provides applications with compile- + and link-information for using the dialog library. + + move calls to dlg_trim_string() out of loop in dialog.c, so each + string is trimmed once (report by Ivanov Makcim). + + modify textbox.c to allow resizing while the search box is presented. + This relies on bug-fix in ncurses 5.6 20070224. + + use dgettext() rather than gettext() to allow libdialog to use the + messages installed for dialog (patch by Vajna Miklos). + + modify inputbox to position the cursor initially at the end of any + initial-text (request by Klaus Knopper). + + add configure --with-valgrind for testing. + + add --trace option, for debugging. + + add --ascii-lines and --no-lines options to control the way the + line-drawing characters are rendered (request by Klaus Knopper). + + add --keep-tite option, to override suppression of smcup/rmcup + (termcap ti/te) strings which would switch to xterm's alternate + screen (Debian #380665). + + modify fselect/dselect to use space-character as a completion + operator like tab in shells (patch by Yoram Bar Haim). + + remove a redundant chunk from checklist.c which reported status a + second time if the help-button was pressed but no item-help option + was in effect (Andre C Barros). + + fix return-status from "dialog --pause" (Debian #409254). + + add --mixedform and --mixedgauge dialogs based on patch from + Kiran Cherupally. + + add some notes on compatibility to the manpage. + + add editbox dialog (compatible with Xdialog, Debian #368478). + + add dselect dialog (compatible with Xdialog). + + remove an incorrect initialization of .text_flen from 2005/12/07 + changes, which made all fields in a form editable (Debian #404045). + + report error and exit if a filename given for the --file option + cannot be opened (report by "Dog Walker"). + + make --program-prefix, etc., work in configure script, e.g., to make + program install as "cdialog". This does not alter the library name. + + add install-bin, install-man (and uninstall) rules to makefile. + + updates for configure script macros (originally vile, lynx, xterm): + AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST, AM_WITH_NLS, CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS, + CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_INCLUDE_DIRS, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_MAKEFLAGS, + CF_PATH_SYNTAX, CF_SUBDIR_PATH, CF_SUBST, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC, + CF_WITH_DMALLOC, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE. + + updated config.guess, config.sub + > adapted fixes from SuSE package (Werner Fink): + + add some limit-checks in dlg_draw_shadow(). + + make shadows resizable, using new dlg_move_window() in msgbox.c + and yesno.c + + add dialog_state.input, use this in end_dialog() to decide whether + to close pipe inputs and call _exit(), or simply call exit(). + + modify dlg_ctl_size() to check if the reason for failure is because + shadows were used; retry in that case without shadows. + + add signal catcher for SIGSEGV. + +2006/02/21 + + fix logic in split-out dlg_menu() to separate inputmenu and menu + handling (report by Auke Kok). + +2006/01/26 + + fix fselect.c to compile properly with Intel compiler and largefile + option. + + improve configure script checks for curses headers to work around + breakage in some packages, e.g., cygwin. + + amend correction to menubox, fixes normal menus (Debian #349969). + +2006/01/19 + + completed dialog.3 manpage + + modify configure script option --with-gauge to cover all flavors of + the gauge (gauge, pause, progressbox). + + add progressbox widget, a hybrid of gauge and tailbox (Reznic Valery). + + fix a comparison in checklist.c to avoid unneeded arrows when the + list happens to fit in the window (patch by Peter Postma). + + correct wrapping computation in print_line() from 2005/11/07 changes + (report by Barry Kauler). + + update sv.po (comments only). + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ + + correct logic that passes the callback for menubox to do inputmenu + operations from 2005/12/7 changes (report by Reznic Valery). + +2006/01/01 + + add a null-pointer check in dlg_register_buttons(), needed for the + tailboxbg (Debian #345524). + + fix a few memory leaks reported by valgrind. + +2005/12/19 + + correct return-values of new functions dlg_default_listitem() and + dlg_default_formitem() (Debian #344002). + + add Swedish translation (Debian #343303, by Daniel Nylander) + + begin function-summaries in dialog.3 + + update config.guess, config.sub + +2005/12/07 + + change license to LGPL. + + change naming convention in dlg_colors.h to make it easier to read, + and incidentally remove the last chunk of code preventing relicense. + + add --passwordform (request by Reznic Valery). + + modify pause.c, msgbox.c to work with --help-button. + + modify formbox.c, inputbox.c, textbox.c, yesno.c to work with extra + button (adapted from Reznic Valery patch). + + modify dlg_exit_label(), dlg_yes_labels() and dlg_ok_label() to allow + help-button (prompted by Reznic Valery patch). + + add zh_CN.po file from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ + + provide alternate interfaces for dialog_checklist(), dialog_menu() + and dialog_form(): dlg_checklist(), dlg_menu() and dlg_form() + (discussion with Michael Gebetsroither). + + add/use dlg_result_key() to allow binding function keys to the + buttons. + + implement user-definable key bindings in the rc-file. + + modify inline cases for KEY_xxx values to use binding tables in new + module dlg_keys.c + + add several DIALOG_STATE items to the rc file: aspect, + separate_widget, tab_len and visit_links + + add a tab-adjustment to dlg_print_text() to improve solution from + 2005/10/30, e.g., in the samples/form* scripts. + + fix an off-by-one which made mouse-selection not work for menu items + past the first page (GenToo #112024, patch by Harald van Dijk). + +2005/11/07 + + extend dlg_add_result() to allow caller to pass a null pointer + for dialog_vars.input_result (Debian #336986). + + correct length used for text portion of radio/checkboxes (report by + Valentin Stoykov). + + modify msgbox, textbox and center_label() to work properly for + LANG=bg_BG.utf8 examples by Valentin Stoykov. + + modify use of freopen() to work with opaque FILE type on DragonFly + (report by Jeremy C Reed). + + modify print_line() to compute columns, use that for the call to + dlg_print_line(). Fix a few places where strlen() was used instead + of dlg_count_columns() (reports by Valentin Stoykov). + +2005/10/30 + + reviewed changes since beginning development in 1999, decided that + there are no appreciable portions of original code remaining. + Marked sources to correspond. + + improve cache performance for inputstr.c using tsearch() rather than + a linked-list search (Debian #294853). + + remove a special case for darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro. + + add ms.po file from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ + + remove an assignment that caused the cursor to appear initially on a + form field rather than button (Debian #333506). + + modify buttons.c to count columns rather than bytes, fixing case + where buttons were laid out incorrectly (report by Valentin Stoykov). + + change dlg_print_text() to count columns rather than bytes, fixing + case where fewer columns were displayed in menu than expected + (report by Valentin Stoykov). + +2005/10/05 + + improve fix for dlg_does_output(), eliminating redundant leading + separator. + + fill background color for item-help text (report by Peter Postma). + + correct interaction between --separate-output and --output-separator + broken in 2005/09/11 fix for Debian #326918 (Debian #331440). + + update config.guess, config.sub + +2005/09/11 + + undo doubled adjustment for left/right margins when wrapping text + for msgbox, gauge and pause (report by Xyba). + + correct position of scrolled text in formbox broken by 2004/12/19 + changes (report by Konrad Jelen). + + call dlg_does_output() from dlg_add_result(), ensuring that + separators are used when combining widgets such as formbox (report by + John Suykerbuyk). + + fix marker in textbox.c to make it disappear at the top of the file + (report by Patrick J. Volkerding). + + fix marker shown in arrows.c for checklists, etc., which was "(+)" + where it should have been "(-)" (report/patch by Patrick J. + Volkerding). + + fix --input-fd (changes in glibc since 2003 made dialog hang on exit + due to the way dialog updated stdin). + + restore default value (a tab) for --separator or --separate-widget + lost in 2003/11/26 changes (Debian #326918). + + make several widgets handle SIGWINCH (calendar, checklist, formbox, + fselect, inputbox, menubox, pause, tailbox, textbox, timebox). Only + msgbox and yesno had been done before. Note that some still have + fixed geometry requirements, so they cannot be shrunk below a given + threshold. Also, these changes do not address traversal, e.g., for + tailboxbg. + + make gauge widget handle SIGWINCH with ncurses (Debian #305705). + + add configure option to control whether largefile support is + compiled-in (Debian #298882). + + update eu.po (Debian #312622, patch by Piarres Egana). + + add/update po files from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ + fi.po, rw.po, sr.po, tr.po, zh_TW.po + + fixes for configure script: + + improve script for determining gcc version + + improve checks for Intel compiler and related warning options + + improve checks for defining _XOPEN_SOURCE (or alternatives) and + _POSIX_C_SOURCE + + update config.guess, config.sub + +2005/03/06 + + add/update po files from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ + ga.po, it.po + + revert last change for da.po; it was from an older version (report by + Morten Brix Pedersen). + +2005/02/06 + + modify makefile.in so --disable-echo applies to libtool builds. + + corrected malloc size used for editable fields in formbox widget to + match the function which updates the corresponding buffer. + + modify formbox widget's use of flen to allow negative values to be + used to limit the length of the displayed field. + + improve description in manpage of output from formbox widget + (Debian #292418). + + modify formbox widget to allow fields with flen==0 to display + (Debian #292417). + + improved configure macros CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, to + avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin. + + fix a typo in inputmenu-stdout found via "sh -n" (report by Steve + Grubb). + + add/update po files from + http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ + ca.po, da.po, hu.po, nl.po, rm.po, ro.po, vi.po + +2005/01/16 + + add --args option to help with debugging scripts. + + adapted some new po files from Debian package for whiptail: ar.po, + bg.po, gl.po, hi.po, hr.po, mg.po, mk.po, ro.po, sq.po and zh_TW.po + + update da.po (Morten Brix Pedersen). + + add configure check for Intel 8.0 compiler, to set appropriate + warning options. + + update config.guess, config.sub + +2004/12/22 + + correct a typo in 2004/12/19 changes which caused width of multibyte + characters to be incorrectly computed in some locales. + + modify --version and --help options to write consistently to the + standard output (report by Santiago Vila). + + modify tailboxbg by resetting tty modes at the point where it forks a + process to update the screen, rather than waiting until that process + exits. This improves user feedback by making it apparent that dialog + is no longer processing input after that point (Redhat Bugzilla + #142538). + + minor updates to some .po files using Babel Fish, comparing with lynx. + + update es.po (Santiago Vila). + + work around bug in NetBSD 1.6 curses which seems to be confused by + reusing color pairs with different video attributes. The problem + does not appear in NetBSD 2.0 curses (but its headers do not provide + version info, so color-caching is not available for that + configuration). + + modify pause and gauge widgets to ensure that reverse-video progress + bar is visible when the background is reversed, e.g., using the + default non-color attributes. + + use chtype rather than attr_t, to build with old Solaris curses, + used in save/restore operation from 2004/09/20. + +2004/12/19 + + add pause-widget (patch by Yura Kalinichenko). + + modify exit-code returned on selecting the "Help"-button when the + --item-help option is given. Previously this returned the same code + as "OK", since it combines output for "OK" with the help status. It + now returns the help-code, but this can be overridden by setting the + environment variable $DIALOG_ITEM_HELP (reports by Erika Pacholleck + and Sebastian Muesch). + + modify formbox widget so input-length is not limited to field-length + (report by David Liebermann). + + localize the label on the search box for textbox widget (report by + Erika Pacholleck). + + correct usage message detail for fselect, which listed an extra + parameter (Debian #284008). + + add include for <sys/select.h> in ui_getc.c to build with QNX 4.25 + using Watcom 10.6 (patch by Len Meakin). + + modify behavior when no locale (or POSIX locale) is set to allow + legacy interpretation of Latin-1 character set (Debian #284795). + +2004/11/18 + + correct computation of column width for menubox/checkbox tags, for + multicolumn characters, e.g., the menubox-utf8 example. + + correct calls to wbkgdset(), which set the background attribute but + not the corresponding character (ncurses uses blank if none is given). + + improve configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE. + + improved limit-computation in show_message() to allow for scrolling + very long messages. + + adjust scrolling logic in msgbox to account for the one-line offset + used by the logic which wraps text in a box, thus avoiding leaving + an extra blank line (report by Maxim Sobolev). + +2004/09/20 + + add samples/whiptail.rc + + add samples/dialog.py (noting that a later version of this exists + as pythondialog, but this is relatively self-contained). Modified + the script to accept the $DIALOG environment variable like the other + sample scripts, to specify the path of the program to use. + + modify the install rule for header-files so the autoconf names in + dlg_config.h (and corresponding usage in dialog.h, etc), are altered + from "HAVE_xxx" to "DLG_HAVE_xxx", etc. + + add a check for getenv("HOME") in rc.c + + add a call to end_dialog() in signal_handler for tailboxbg (from + patch by Werner Fink). + + correct initialization in checklist and radiobox for --default-item, + scrolling as needed. + + modify --visit-items option so that it puts the cursor initially on + the list (in menubox, checklist and radiobox), accepts abbreviations + for the buttons when the cursor is on the button-row, and otherwise + (when --visit-items is given) abbreviations apply only to the list + (report by Erika Pacholleck). + + modify a few widgets (inputbox, textbox, yesno) to beep on unexpected + input. + + modify some msgbox widget to accept abbreviations of its button + label, for consistency with other widgets (request by Erika + Pacholleck). + + corrected logic of dlg_char_to_button(), making it check only the + first uppercase letter in each button label rather than all uppercase + letters (report by Erika Pacholleck, cf: 2003/09/10). + + improved description of --clear and --keep-window options (adapted + from Erika Pacholleck). + + move discussion of --beep and --beep-signal options to Obsolete + Options section of manpage, remove these from the help-message + (report by Erika Pacholleck). + + bracket extern's in dialog.h with C++ extern "C" declaration, in case + the library is used from a C++ application. + + modify inputmenu examples to allow ESC to cancel the script. + + modify inputmenu widget to cancel edit on a TAB or ESC. + + modify inputmenu widget to use the same color scheme for the editable + text as the inputbox widget. + + modify samples/killall to work around differences in "cut" versions. + + use the color-caching from the \Z logic when loading the ".rc" file, + thereby reducing the number of color pairs required, and making it + less likely that deriving color pairs for drawing arrows on a given + background will run out of colors. + + save/restore window attributes in dlg_draw_arrows() and similar + functions, to allow widgets to draw arrows using the widget's + background rather than a common/fixed value (request by Erika + Pacholleck). + + modify textbox widget so the down-arrow will be hidden when at the + end of the file.

However, the old way, "\n\" + still works. + + the fixes involved the following changes: + - rewrote dlg_trim_string() to recognize preformatted text (know + when not to strip extra spaces) and to pay attention to --cr-wrap. + - rewrote justify_text() which now calls a new function in util.c, + print_line(), to print each line and end it on a word boundary. + - modified real_auto_size() to call a new function + auto_size_preformated() to calculate the box size for preformatted + text. + - removed skip_blanks() and skip_text() since they are not used by + the new justify_text(). + - modified dialog.c to not call dlg_trim_string() on title strings + so that titles retain their spaces. + + modified the following demo files in the sample directory: + - inputbox + changed all "\n\" strings to "\n" to demonstrate the extra + backslash is no longer needed. + - inputbox1 + removed all the "\n\" strings from the end of the lines to + properly demonstrate --cr-wrap. + - msgbox1 + this sample was using "--aspect 9 --cr-wrap". Rewrote it to + properly demonstrate --aspect. 9 is already dialog's default + aspect ratio. It now creates several dialogs in sequence, + demonstrating aspect ratios of 9, 12 and 6 and properly + demonstrates --cr-wrap. + + made the following changes to the manual (dialog.1). + - rewrote the description of --aspect to be more understandable. + - rewrote the description of --cr-wrap to be more correct and more + detailed. It did say, "Otherwise, the text for each dialog will + display on a single line.", which is not correct. It wraps the + text to fit in the box. + > T.Dickey: + + use logic from menubox dialog in checklist to handle autosizing when + list height is given as zero (fixes problem reported by Eric Veltman + <eveltman@baan.nl>). + + modify checklist and menubox dialogs to check for too-wide data, and + truncate one or both of the name and text fields to fit (also + reported by Eric Veltman). + + corrected a few items from Vincent's patch: + - use C89-style comments rather than C++ + - restore logic in justify_text() which checks for win==0, needed to + work with standard curses implementations other than ncurses. + The first call on justify_text() passes a null pointer as a flag + to indicate that checking should be done, but no screen updates. + - avoid modifying the buffer in decode_percent(), otherwise a message + containing a space or newline would be truncated at the whitespace. + - modify dlg_button_x_step() and dlg_button_layout() slightly to + work with altered print_autowrap(), etc. + + fixes to build/work with SunOS 4.x 5lib curses + +2001/04/15 + + fix a memory leak in mouse_region(). + + simplify handling of optional parameters with new functions + optional_str() and optional_num(). + + add calendar and timebox dialogs (compatible with Xdialog). + + correct typo in fallback definition for getparyx, and remove void + cast for mouse_open and mouse_close which prevented build with + Sun's Solaris compiler. + + rename --enable-lxdialog configure option to --enable-Xdialog + + modify CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS macro to match more variations of ncurses + header files. + + update config.guess, config.sub + + modify some configure script macros to avoid problems with buggy + autoconf 2.49c which breaks changequote(). + +2001/01/15 + + small fix to revised real_auto_size() and justify_text() to avoid + adding origin to box-width, which broke samples/wheel. + + apply 1999/12/25 tempfile change to wheel and copismall samples. + + add sample script for tailboxbg. + + revised lock-file management to better ensure that locks are actually + created by the tailbox subprocess(es). + + correct hardcoded signal 15 in tailbox to SIGHUP to match + documentation.
