-
-This version of dialog was originally from a Debian snapshot. I've done this
-to it:
-
-2011/07/07
- + modify util.c to work better with old versions of ncurses:
- + suppress use of wchgat() before fix in 20060715 which is needed
- for simple shadow manipulation used here in 2011/06/30 (report
- by xDog Walker).
- + add a null-pointer check in dlg_print_scrolled()
- + fix a regression in dlg_getc() introduced by changes to intercept
- F1 for help-popup (report by xDog Walker).
-
-2011/06/30
- + correct license statement for prgbox.c (Debian #632198).
- + correct layout when "--colors" is used, by discounting characters in
- the escape sequences from the column counts (report by xDog Walker).
- + modify dlg_checklist() so that only one item in the list can
- initially be selected (report by xDog Walker).
- + add/use macro dlg_enter_buttoncode() to improve implementation of
- "--nook" option (report by xDog Walker).
- + add option "--no-nl-expand" to suppress the conversion of "\n"
- strings into newlines (request by xDog Walker).
- + modify LIB_CREATE symbol in makefile.in to include the library
- dependencies such as ncurses. This is needed when dynamically
- loading the library (report/analysis by xDog Walker).
- + modify dlg_exit_label() to suppress the Cancel button, for
- consistency.
- + modify dlg_exit_label() to honor the --nook option, except when there
- is no other button, e.g., the help-button.
- + modify dlg_exit_buttoncode() so that it returns the proper code for
- help-button (report by xDog Walker).
- + correct loop limit when processing "--column-separator" (report by
- xDog Walker).
- + modify handling of "--version" and "--help" to ensure that they are
- processed, and exit before widgets. Separate "--print-version"
- from "--version", allowing its output to be interspersed with
- widget output (report by xDog Walker).
- + correct a few places where "--version" or "--help" options went
- always to stdout rather than allowing redirection with the "--stderr"
- option (report by xDog Walker).
- + improve repainting after erasing a widget and its shadow.
- + add "--hline" and "--hfile" options for compatibility with FreeBSD
- dialog (request by Devin Teske).
- + add dialog version message when opening a trace file (request by
- xDog Walker).
- + show filename of rc-file in traces.
- + add piped-in data for gauge widget to traces.
- + add entrypoints to gauge widget, for allocating, updating and freeing
- the widget (adapted from patch by Stephen Hurd).
- + fix a reference to freed memory in the gauge widget.
- + fix --no-mouse option by actually closing the mouse (report by
- xDog Walker).
- + add sk.po from
- http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
- + limit Solaris xpg4 portability fix for redefinition of ERR to cover
- the specific value found in <sys/regset.h>, in case an application
- includes dialog.h after curses.h (FreeBSD #156601, report by Jaakko
- Heinonen, Stephen Hurd).
- + updated configure macros:
- + CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS,
- + CF_CURSES_LIBS, make checks for special libraries on hpux10 and
- sunos4 optional
- + CF_CURSES_FUNCS, workaround for bug in gcc 4.2.1 (FreeBSD 8.1)
- which caused part of test program to be omitted, i.e., when it saw
- two return-statements in a row it omitted the _first_ one. Also
- add expression to pointer check to help FreeBSD's linker decide it
- should be validated. Just an assignment was not enough. Also, add
- check for unctrl.h
- + CF_CURSES_HEADER, change order for curses.h / ncurses.h pairs to
- put ncurses.h first, which will tend to provide the same #define's
- as in CF_NCURSES_HEADER (report by Dennis Preiser).
- + CF_CURSES_TERM_H, modify to avoid spurious check for
- <curses.hterm.h> if there is no ncurses version. Look for
- ncurses's term.h anyway, to work around breakage by packagers who
- separate ncurses' header files.
- + CF_DISABLE_RPATH_HACK, fix garbled message
- + CF_LD_RPATH_OPT, add mirbsd
- + CF_MAKEFLAGS, filter out GNU make's entering/leaving messages.
- This only appeared when using the macro in a dpkg script, though it
- should have in other cases.
- + CF_RPATH_HACK, add a check for libraries not found, e.g., from
- suppressed functionality of gcc in linking from /usr/local/lib, and
- add a -L option to help work around this.
- + CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, workaround for cygwin to get ncurses' configure
- script to define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED (cygwin's features.h
- doesn't do anything, so it needs a crutch).
- + updated config.guess, config.sub
-
-2011/03/02
- + add --prgbox and --programbox (adapted from patch by David Boyd).
- + add sl.po from
- http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
- + fix timeouts from 2011/01/18, which were being interpreted as
- milliseconds rather than seconds (report by Luis Moreira).
-
-2011/01/18
- + fix inconsistency in return-codes for textbox when help-button is
- used by making dlg_exit_buttoncode() a wrapper for
- dlg_ok_buttoncode().
- + modify pause widget to use dlg_ok_buttoncode(), so help-button works.
- + correct two infobox sample scripts, which did not pass extra
- command-line parameters due to quoting problems.
- + add a limit-check to the timebox widget (patch by Garrett Cooper).
- + modify --trace option to also trace the command-line parameters.
- + account for combining characters when wrapping text (Debian #570634).
- + correct handling of SIGWINCH in gauge widget (Debian #305705).
- + add gauge_color, to make guage's progress-bar distinct from
- title_color (request by Dominic Derdau).
- + update fi.po from
- http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
- as well as resync line-numbers in the other po-files.
- + modify configure script and dialog program to build with NetBSD's
- wide-character curses functions, including workarounds for its
- incorrect WACS_xxx definitions. Some of the UTF-8 examples work.
- + add back-tab for traversal of tailboxbg widgets, for symmetry with
- tab-traversal.
- + reduce flicker in tailboxbg by checking if the input file size has
- changed.
- + modify internals of callbacks to avoid blocking reads of their
- associated files by keyboard input.
- + add command-line option --no-mouse, to suppress use of mouse.
- + add configure option --enable-header-subdir to allow the header files
- to be installed into a subdirectory named for the package.
- + modify dlg_restore_vars() to retain the updated values of
- input_result and input_length, eliminating the need for a caller to
- provide their own user buffer (prompted by report by Thiago Bimbatti
- Felicio).
- + add a null-pointer check in show_result() for
- dialog_vars.input_result, and ensure it is set to null after freeing
- (prompted by report by Thiago Bimbatti Felicio).
- + change order of -I options in CPPFLAGS (report by Michel Feldheim)
- + modify pause-widget so that it no longer exits when an unrecognized
- key is pressed (patch by Creidieki M Crouch).
- + add --with-package option to configure script to allow renaming
- of the dialog program and library, to support the package scripts.
- + add Debian and RPM package scripts for test-builds.
- + several improvements to configure script:
- + quote params of ifelse()
- + change obsolete ${name-value} to standard ${name:-value}
- + use new macros CF_ADD_LIB/CF_ADD_LIBS to enforce consistency.
- + AM_GNU_GETTEXT, drop $MKINSTALLDIRS, use "mkdir -p" consistently.
- + CF_ADD_SUBDIR_PATH, workaround - if $prefix was not mkdir'd yet, no
- directories were added.
- + CF_BUNDLED_INTL, add --with-textdomain option, to use with lynx-dev
- package
- + CF_FIND_LINKAGE, simplify save/restore of $LIBS
- + CF_GCC_WARNINGS, fix for Mac OS X (compiler makes conftest.dSYM
- directory)
- + CF_HEADER_PATH, don't search for variations of everything in the
- current include-path
- + CF_WITH_CURSES_DIR, move the calls to CF_ADD_INCDIR and
- CF_ADD_LIBDIR for the curses-directory here, from
- CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS and CF_NCURSES_LDFLAGS, so it will work even
- with the default checking, e.g., no --with-ncurses, etc.
- + updated config.guess, config.sub
-
-2010/04/28
- + several improvements to configure script:
- + modify CF_CURSES_TERM_H to handle cases such as cygwin where
- packager has installed curses.h and term.h in different
- directories, e.g., to wedge in a termcap library.
- + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, adding special case for OpenSolaris
- + modify CF_MAKE_TAGS to add check for exctags and exetags, prefer to
- ctags and etags to work around pkgsrc (NetBSD) renaming.
- + correct CF_FIND_LINKAGE, setting cache variable for library_file in
- the special case where no directory search is made.
- + improve CF_GCC_VERSION, suppress stderr for c89 alias of gcc.
- + improve CF_GCC_WARNINGS, moving -W and -Wall into the list to
- check, since c89 alias for gcc complains about these options.
- + modify CF_HEADER_PATH, to not search for variations of everything
- in the current include-path
- + use "mkdir -p", remove mkdirs.sh
- + use CF_CURSES_HEADER to fill in possible subdirectory used for
- ncurses header filename.
- + modify CF_XOPEN_CURSES to work around current ncurse header loss of
- predefinition of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
- + add "--disable-rpath-hack" option, along with scripting to add
- rpath option to libraries found in unusual places.
- + modify pause widget to autosize like gauge, and to omit the area for
- buttons when none are displayed.
- + fix an infinite loop in dlg_button_layout() if there are no buttons
- to display (Debian #579390).
- + add makefile rules for generating html, etc., documentation from
- nroff.
- > patches by Samuel Martín Moro
- + reset errors in tailbox before reading new character.
- + modify dlg_draw_scrollbar(), omitting hiding percentages in boxes
- when no arrows or scrollbar are needed.
- + correct value of row for scrollbars in formbox.
- + update es.po from
- http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
-
-2010/01/19
- + split up binding tables in inputbox and similar widgets to avoid
- conflict between cursor-key use for input-string versus navigation
- (report by slakmagik).
- + if strftime() is available, support --time-format option for timebox
- widget.
- + if strftime() is available, support --date-format option for calendar
- widget (request by Walter Harms).
- + build-fixes for linking to intl library in /usr/local
- + add --scrollbar option, use in most widgets to show a scrollbar on
- the right margin of the data. That is cosmetic, does not respond to
- the mouse.
- + reuse functions from msgbox to allow prompt for yesno box to be
- scrolled in a too-small window.
- + correct mapping of button-codes with --nook option (report by Lebedev
- Vadim).
- + cleanup sample scripts using new utility scripts setup-* and report-*,
- and allow command-line parameters to be added, for ad hoc testing.
- + correct change to tailbox widget from 2009/02/22 using
- dlg_button_layout(), which broke that widget.
- + document some of the portability caveats.
- + modify gauge widget to service callbacks (prompted by patch and
- comments by Frank Sorenson).
- + modify editbox to allow its input buffer to be larger than MAX_LEN
- unless bounded by the --max-input option, and add limit-checks for
- the buffer (report by slakmagik).
- + improve manpage description of --checklist (report by Isaac Good).
- + several improvements to configure script macros: CF_ADD_CFLAGS
- CF_CURSES_FUNCS CF_DISABLE_ECHO CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES CF_MATH_LIB
- CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE CF_REMOVE_DEFINE CF_WITH_LIBTOOL CF_XOPEN_SOURCE
- + add is.po, lv.po, sw.po from
- http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
- + update de.po, id.po, pl.po, pt_BR.po, vi.po from
- http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
-
-2009/02/22
- + do not display top-arrows for scrolling if they would overwrite the
- title (report by slakmagik)
- + consistently use dlg_button_layout() when autosizing widgets (report
- by slakmagik).
- + add "-" and "+" bindings to timebox widget.
- + add "-" and "+" bindings to calendar widget (OpenSolaris #6739031).
- + review/fix other widgets to ensure that they exit on error, e.g.,
- editbox.c
- + modify check in dlg_getc() to treat closure of either stdin or stdout
- as an error, rather than both. This is more stringent than the check
- added in 2007/07/04.
- + modify dlg_result_key() to map curses ERR to dialog's error exit
- (adapted from patch by Domagoj Pensa).
- + updated several configure script macros:
- + consistently append, rather then prepend, to $CFLAGS
- + add cases for AIX 6, mint, and dragonfly to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE
- + use $PATH_SEPARATOR rather than $PATHSEP
- + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE, use in checks for more libraries, e.g.,
- libutf8 and libiconv.
- + update da.po, ru.po from
- http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
- + updated config.guess, config.sub
-
-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. (Modifying the up-arrow to be hidden is harder -
- will do this when implementing scrollbars).
- + correct off-by-one in fselect.c which left down-arrows showing at
- the bottom of directory- and file-lists (report by Erika Pacholleck).
- + improve display of percentages by omitting blanks where lines should
- be shown.
- + modify logic for \Z escapes to make those that set video attributes
- not clear the colors (report by Erika Pacholleck).
- + modify logic for \Z escapes to allow foreground and background
- colors to be the same, provided that bold attribute is set.
- Also improved the logic for choosing a background color when the
- foreground and background are the same (report by Erika Pacholleck).
- + updated configure script macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, ensuring that the
- _POSIX_C_SOURCE value is defined with a specific value (bug report
- originally for lynx).
- + fix configure script so that po/makefile is generated properly when
- the configure --srcdir --enable-nls options are used.
- + modify makefile.in to allow build/install from another directory,
- i.e., using configure --srcdir (patch by Mike Castle).
- + updated da.po (Debian #262587, Morten Brix Pedersen).
- + modify some sample scripts to avoid using grave quotes nested within
- double quotes with multiple file redirection, which does not work
- with Solaris /bin/sh (report/analysis by Eric Haller).
- + check for end of string immediately after a \Z escape to avoid
- displaying the null terminator as a ^@ (report by Erika Pacholleck).
- > patches by Erika Pacholleck:
- + modify calendar.c, fselect.c and timebox.c to use color scheme like
- other lists, using menubox colors rather than dialog colors.
- + correct charset for po/de.po, translate messages for "Help" and
- "Rename".
- + omit parentheses around percentage in textbox.c
- + correct a few mismatched attributes, e.g., searchbox_attr in textbox.c,
- percentage in msgbox.c,
-
-
-2004/07/31
- + add test scripts to cover zero-width column case.
- + remove limit checks from checklist.c and menubox.c (cf: 2004/07/28),
- since some scripts use zero-width columns (Debian #262411 and report
- by Kyle Sallee).
-
-2004/07/29
- + modify msgbox.c to only reserve space for percentage shown as part
- of scrollable text for the msgbox widget. This makes infobox look
- as it did before 2004/06/06 changes (report by Vinesh Christopher)
-
-2004/07/28
- + remove redundant calls to wtimeout() from widgets since wtimeout()
- is properly called from ui_getc() where it is controlled by the
- --timeout option (bug report by juanjo).
- + add limit checks in checklist.c and menubox.c for very narrow screens
- (prompted by Steve Grubb patch).
- + initialize step in dlg_draw_buttons() in case it is used to draw
- a vertical list of buttons (prompted by Steve Grubb patch).
- > fixes by Steve Grubb:
- + correct logic in checklist.c (cf: 2003/11/26 changes) which turned
- quoting on unnecessarily for radiobox, breaking some old scripts.
- + increase size of array in dlg_ok_labels() to avoid overrun if extra
- and help buttons are used (cf: 2002/06/12 changes).
- + initialize fkey variable in menubox.c and textbox.c (cf: 2003/07/12).
-
-2004/07/21 - release 1.0
- + minor updates for configure script, i.e., CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
- CF_NCURSES_LIBS macros.
- + update config.guess, config.sub
- + add nl.po (Jacques Weewer).
-
-2004/06/06
- + add --visit-items option, which allows the user to tab to the item
- list in the checklist/radiobox and menubox widgets (request by
- Ari Moisio).
- + use wide-character line-drawing for up/down arrows when configured
- for wide-characters, gives better results with uxterm.
- + limit the number of times a --file option can be used, to prevent
- runaway recursion if a --file option is embedded within a file which
- is included.
- + improve discussion of wrapping in the manpage (Debian #251937).
- + modify msgbox to allow it to scroll vertically like textbox (Debian
- #233276). This only works with ncurses.
- + implement $DIALOGVARS environment variable to apply common options to
- dialog_vars when it is reset before processing other common options.
- + add --single-quoted option to control whether output is double-quoted
- with '"' or single-quoted with single-quotes.
- + revert the default quoting behavior of checklists to use
- double-quotes (report by Mark K Post regarding Slackware scripts).
- + add eu.po (Basque) (Piarres Beobide Egaa).
- + add ca.po (Catalan) (Jordi Mallach).
-
-2004/04/21
- + add a call to flushinp() to init_dialog(), to discard any typeahead
- before dialog is invoked (Debian #244746).
- + correct dlg_match_char() function, which was broken during rewrite
- to support wide-characters (Debian #244777).
- + improved ru.po, uses UTF-8 charset (Leonid Kanter, Redhat Bugzilla
- #119200).
- + correct position of shadow drawn for dialogs, which appeared to work
- for most versions of curses (other than NetBSD) but would have been
- visible for certain color schemes (discussion with Julian Coleman).
- + correct loop-exit in longest_word() (Tomas Heredia, forwarded by
- Santiago Vila).
- + add cy.po (Welsh) (Dafydd Harries).
-
-2004/03/16
- + modify quoting of results to use single-quote rather than double
- quote, and ensure that results containing a quote or backslash
- character are escaped (report by Florent Rougon)
- + remove an incorrect comparison from checklist which made cursor
- stick on the last line, from 2004/03/01 changes.
-
-2004/03/14
- + add a dependency to install library if "--with-libtool" is used.
- + add manpage for the library.
- + add "--file"
- + modify formbox.c to support "--help-status" like menubox.
- + modify checklist.c to add item name to the "HELP" string when
- "--help-button" is used and no --item-help option is given (Debian
- #236841, report/patch by Jorg Sommer).
- + rename colors.h to dlg_colors.h, install that when the library is
- installed.
- + add copyright notice to usage ("--help") message.
- + correct a missing bounds check for mouse-clicks in menubox (prompted
- by Debian #233044).
- + updated several configure-script macros: AM_GNU_GETTEXT,
- AM_WITH_NLS, CF_OUR_MESSAGES, CF_PROG_EXT, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC,
- CF_WITH_DMALLOC, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE.
-
-2004/03/01
- + improve layout of calendar widget to allow for very long button
- labels (report by Santiago Vila).
- + correct logic for $DIALOG_TTY, broken in 2003/11/30. The environment
- variable must evaluate to a nonzero integer (report by Florent
- Rougon).
- + document interaction between "--default-no" and "--no-cancel" options
- in manpage (Debian #223488).
- + change configure script to use autoconf 2.52+patch, to work around
- issues with Estonian locale (report by Seemant Kulleen).
- + add uk.po (Ukrainian) (Debian #232441).
- + make --default-item apply to checklist widget (Debian #225255).
- + correct a missing check for --item-help when --help-status was given
- for checklist (Debian #232921).
- + correct a missing bounds check for mouse-clicks in checklist (Debian
- #233044).
- + update config.guess, config.sub
-
-2003/12/07
- + correct infinite loop in yesno widget when "--defaultno" option is
- combined with "--no-cancel" (Debian #223077).
-
-2003/11/30
- + suppress double-quotes added for "--help-status" option if the
- string does not contain any special characters.
-
-2003/11/26
- + add samples/sourcemage.rc, for comparison with slackware.rc
- + add "--insecure" option (request by Sean Mathews (DrWho@f34r.com)).
- + make "--defaultno" option apply to widgets which use OK/Cancel
- buttons as well (Debian #209030).
- + improve documentation of exit-codes for each widget in the manpage
- (Debian #217926).
- + add option "--keep-window" to suppress repainting after completing
- each widget (request by Ingo van Lil).
- + add options "--yes-label" and "--no-label" to allow override of the
- "Yes" and "No" strings (request by Christoph Zwerschke).
- + add option "--help-status" to allow script to restore a checklist
- or radiolist after processing an item-help string (Debian #209031).
- + modify width-calculation for non-formatted text to ensure it is
- wide enough for the longest word in the text (patch by Andrew Gaul).
- + modify dlg_index_columns() to count a newline as a single cell rather
- than 2 for the normal curses case. This fixes an off-by-one for
- the text-justification, shown in screen 2 of msgbox1 sample script.
- + fix dlg_char_to_button(); 2003/09/10 changes made it incorrectly
- ignore case of the labels.
- + change calendar's use of arrow keys so they are (as before 2002/06/22)
- interpreted within the day-grid as movement within that grid (request
- by David Anders).
- + correct missing initialization of last_getc variable in dlg_getc()
- (report/analysis by Victor Wodecki).
- + modify main program to make
- dialog --no-shadow --print-maxsize
- work. Normally dialog prints the screen size after subtracting the
- area reserved for shadows, but some applications may need the actual
- screen size (Debian #213424).
- + several related changes (Debian #213425):
- + separate the examples using "--stdout" and "--output-fd" from the
- normal usage examples.
- + add "--input-fd" option, provide a sample of its use.
- + modify init_dialog() to use initscr() unless a "--stdout" option
- was used. Some scripts relied on the coincidence that redirecting
- standard output from dialog would "work". Before this change
- init_dialog() assumed that redirected standard output was
- synonymous with "--stdout" option (not the intended behavior).
- + modify command-line parsing to look for "--stdout" and "--stderr"
- options first, allowing only one.
- + add a check for an environment variable $DIALOG_TTY which provides
- the older behavior, i.e., try to open the terminal directly if
- stdout is redirected.
- + interface changes, to make libdialog simpler to use:
- + rename all of the internal functions to begin with "dlg_", but
- provide compatibility with older names if the application defines
- __DIALOG_OLD_NAMES__.
- + add dialog_version() function, and corresponding DIALOG_VERSION and
- DIALOG_PATCHDATE definitions to dlg_config.h
- + eliminate remaining global variables such as screen_initialized in
- favor of dialog_state and dialog_vars.
- + move some data such as dialog_vars.output to dialog_state, since
- they are normally not reset between widgets.
- + change interfaces of dialog_yesno() and dialog_checklist() to use
- dialog_state.defaultno and dialog_vars.separate_output, making it
- simpler and more consistent.
- + improve configure script and related definitions:
- + add "--with-libtool" option to provide shared library support by
- libtool.
- + rename generated "config.h" to "dlg_config.h", so it can be
- installed without naming conflict. Added "dlg_config.h" to
- install-lib rule.
- + modify configure script and makefile to use EXEEXT and OBJEXT.
- + add "--enable-widec" option to control whether wide-curses features
- are compiled-in, rather than check for the existence of those in
- the curses library. This allows building with HPUX curses, which
- has abandoned legacy features while not quite supporting X/Open
- curses.
- + add configure check for getbegx(), etc., which are not provided on
- all platforms.
- + update config.guess, config.sub
-
-2003/10/02
- + update hu.po (Arpad Biro).
- + revert part of the 2003/08/18 change to "--stdout" option. Using
- stderr for screen output does not work well on several platforms
- since stdout's settings are affected (report by Kent Robotti).
-
-2003/09/24
- + modify tailbox to allow it to display files with arbitrarily long
- lines.
- + fix an infinite loop in tailbox, broken when making interface changes
- to dlg_getc() (report by Ingo van Lil).
- + amend fix for "--and-widget" to not treat "---" as an option (report
- by Kent Robotti).
- + updated es.po (Santiago Vila).
-
-2003/09/10
- + correct "RENAMED" result from inputmenu widget, which did not reset
- the result buffer, and did not account for scroll-offset (Debian
- #209336).
- + modify button, menu and checklist logic that matches a character to
- the beginning of a text field to support wide-characters (completes
- Debian #195674).
- + modify configure script to not use "head -1".
-
-2003/08/30
- + modify searchbox popup in textbox widget so one can simply press
- return on an empty input to cancel the popup.
- + modify error reporting to avoid clearing screen if a problem is
- found in the ".rc" file.
- + add color/attribute combinations for form widget (based on patch by
- Reznic Valery).
- + combine rc-file colors, attribute- and color-tables to obtain a
- single table for color values, which requires less work to add new
- entries.
- + modify fselect widget to make back-tab work again, since it was
- broken by the rewrite of dlg_edit_string().
- + modify howmany_tags() so it will quit searching when it finds any
- option, not only "--and-widget" (Debian #206636).
- + correct call to dlg_print_text() in print_line(), which did not
- account for hidden characters (report/patch by David Poole).
- + modify print_button() to display properly if locale defines ok/cancel
- or yes/no buttons that contain multibyte characters.
-
-2003/08/20
- + correct an indexing error when deleting from the end of a line using
- KEY_DC; it happened to work on Linux because malloc() clears memory
- like calloc().
- + add '\r' to case statement where '\n' is translated to KEY_ENTER to
- work around defect in NetBSD curses.
- + modify configure check for getparyx(), etc., which are implemented
- by NetBSD curses as functions rather than macros.
- + correct configure check for term.h, which may be <ncursesw/term.h>
- if ncursesw development headers are installed, but not ncurses
- development headers. Or they may not coincide (Debian #206287).
-
-2003/08/18
- + modify checklist.c and menubox.c to display tags properly if they
- contain wide-characters.
- + better solution for initializing curses when "--stdout" option is
- used, e.g., use stderr for the output if it is a tty. Also correct
- the error handling, so dialog exits with an error if it cannot
- find a way to do output (Debian #205509).
- + modify sample scripts to use consistent definition of $DIALOG
- (Debian #205508).
- + add UTF-8 examples inputbox6-utf8, inputbox6-utf8 (from Tomohiro
- Kubota, Debian #195674).
- + modify print_line() to work with wide-characters, e.g., so it handles
- wrapping for double-width characters.
- + cache results from multibyte character indices, speeds up cursor
- movement.
- + modify form widget to support scrolling and mouse-selection.
- + add form widget (based on patch by Reznic Valery).
- + correct mouse-handling for inputmenu widget.
- + corrections to menu.c: location of clearing operation, and height of
- rows in code for older ncurses versions (patch by Reznic Valery).
- + improve logic that compensates for xterm's alternate-screen by
- cancelling the rmcup/smcup strings after the rmcup has been issued.
- That ensures that dialog will not clear the screen on exit (report
- by Javier Kohen).
- + modify initialization between widgets to retain the values for the
- --aspect, --separate-widget and --tab-len options.
- + add --separator as an alias for --separate-widget (compatible with
- Xdialog).
- + correct handling of Xdialog's --icon and --wmclass options, whose
- parameter was not ignored.
- + correct logic for --separate-widget so its string is written before
- each output, rather than only for --and-widget option (report by
- Javier Kohen).
- + improve limit-check in center_label() for buttons.c (report by Tor
- Vidar Havstad).
- + correct layout of --menu widget, which reduced display width due to
- logic for --inputmenu being applied whether or not that configuration
- was used (reports by Javier Kohen, Dimitar Zhekov and MAL
- <mal@komcept.com>). Fixes Debian #201215.
- + modify gauge widget to support --begin option (Hans-Joachim Baader).
- + updated pl.po (Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- + hide cursor while painting gauge.
- + add auto-sizing logic to gauge widget (reports by Javier Kohen and
- Robert Schubert).
-
-2003/07/20
- + rewrote inputstr.c, allowing it to enter and display wide-characters.
- Some nonprinting characters such as control/B can be edited as well.
- + modify timebox to allow user to type numbers into the fields.
- + change interfaces of dlg_getc(), mouse_wgetch(), etc., to add
- parameter that returns whether the result is really a function-key.
- This is needed to work with wide-character curses.
- + correct computation of week-number in calendar widget (report by
- Heiner Lamann).
- + updated configure script macros:
- + suppress -Winline with gcc 3.3, since it is broken.
- + fix caching bug in CF_UTF8_LIB
- + improved script for CF_BUNDLED_INTL.
- + update config.guess, config.sub
-
-2003/03/08
- + add null-pointer checks to some malloc calls which were overlooked.
- + correct logic in dlg_add_result(), which did not copy content of
- non-allocated buffer to the first allocation (report by Daniel
- Dupont).
-
-2003/03/02
- + correct an uninitialized value in dlg_add_result() (Debian #182683).
-
-2003/01/30
- + corrected print_line(), which subtracted the margin twice from the
- right-limit, making a string wrap unnecessarily (Debian #168823).
- + correct initial limit-check for arrows in checklist.c, which used
- the wrong variable, showing the bottom arrow when it should not
- (Debian #168823).
- + modify driver to always call show_result(), to simplify updates.
- + fix several memory leaks, important if dialog is run with a large
- number of widgets (report by albert.veli@telia.com forwarded by
- Santiago Vila).
- + check if the screen output is actually to the terminal before trying
- to suppress xterm's alternate screen mode (see 2000/01/18) (report by
- David Oliveira).
- + use dialog_vars.input_result consistently to return the text which is
- printed after a widget completes. In many cases, dialog now
- allocates enough space to hold the text, rather than use a fixed
- buffer. The checklist widget was writing directly to the output to
- avoid limits of the fixed buffer.
- + modify dialog.c to also write dialog_vars.input_result if the
- Help-button was pressed (request by Amon Ott).
- + add hu.po (Arpad Biro).
- + update fr.po, pt.po, pt_BR.po to add strings for "Help" button (patch
- by Frederic L W Meunier).
- + fix off-by-one error in menu.c, checklist.c (reported by
- Tomasz Wasiak 2002/09/15 and others:
- Andrew Gaul 2002/11/12,
- Tobias C Rittweiler 2002/11/19,
- Arpad Biro 2003/01/21).
- + updated configure script, improving checks for ncurses in various
- locations, updated NLS script to match lynx. Added --with-curses-dir
- option.
- > Tobias C Rittweiler:
- + make ifdef in mousewget.c consistent with usage in dialog.h
- + use beep() rather than flash() in dlg_edit_string(), for consistency
- with the other functions.
- + change order of buttons so extra button falls between Ok/Cancel.
- + fix so "dialog --print-maxsize" exits from curses.
- + add --inputmenu option.
-
-2002/08/14
- + modify checklist.c and menubox.c to treat the extra button like the
- "Ok" button by making dialog print the chosen items (request by
- Tobias C Rittweiler).
- + add examples checklist6 and menubox6 to illustrate the --colors
- option.
- + implement -colors option, which allows one to highlight words in the
- titles and most text areas with color or video attributes (adapted
- from patch by Tobias C Rittweiler).
- + add examples inputbox4, inputbox5 to illustrate how to use the
- --output-fd option, and how to use dialog without any temporary
- file at all.
- + add --output-fd option (Debian #153984).
- + documented vi-style keys for calendar, textbox widgets in manpage.
-
-2002/06/22
- + improve mouse handling, e.g., for up/down scrolling in calendar,
- checklist, etc.
- + add --extra-button and --extra-label options (adapted from patch
- by Tobias C Rittweiler).
- + correct displayed cursor position in inputbox when returning to the
- input area after traversing the buttons with tabs, etc.
- + add left/right arrows for traversal in calendar and timebox dialogs.
- + implement two new functions dlg_next_ok_buttonindex() and
- dlg_prev_ok_buttonindex(), using these to hide details about the
- traversal over buttons in several widgets.
- + modify checklist.c and menubox.c to verify if both --help-button and
- --item-help are specified before assuming that selecting the help
- button should cause the "HELP {item-help}" message to be printed
- (reported by Marcel Ritter).
- + modify init_dialog() to work around HP's broken tty driver (report by
- John Mudd). Specifically, the problem is that when opening /dev/tty
- directly (to support the --stdout option), the terminal does not
- change to raw mode. The workaround opens /dev/tty only as needed;
- the --stdout option does not work on HPUX but otherwise dialog works.
- + updated el.po (patch by kromJx <kromJx@crosswinds.net>).
-
-2002/05/19
- + add --no-collapse option to allow one to retain tabs and repeated
- blanks in a message box (request by Roberto Simoni).
- + use DLG_EXIT_ESC constant rather than -1's in several places. This
- has the effect of changing some exit-with-error cases to denote that
- the exit was because ESC was pressed (patch by Diego Alvarez,
- forward by Santiago Vila).
- + bump package version to 0.9b (with patch-date, as usual).
- + add --exit-label option (request by Roberto Simoni).
- + updated de.po to correct translation for "Cancel" (from Michael
- Piefel, Debian #146402).
- + use definitions from autoconf macro AC_HEADER_TIME to ensure that
- time() is properly prototyped.
- + update pl.po, adding translation for "Help" (patch by Jaroslaw
- Swierczynski <swiergot@hacking.pl>).
- + update COPYING file, to reflect address change of FSF (reported by
- Santiago Vila).
- + update some configuration script macros: CF_CHECK_CACHE,
- CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS, CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_MAKEFLAGS.
- + correct misuse of "$with_XXX" variables in the configure script,
- which prevented configuration against curses library as opposed to
- ncurses.
- + update config.guess, config.sub
-
-2002/03/09 (a)
- + modify geometry of samples/fselect scripts to allow them to run in
- a 24x80 screen (report/patch by Santiago Vila).
- + correct exit-code for menubox.c when Cancel is pressed. This was
- unintentionally altered when adding --help-button (reported by
- Patrick J Volkerding)
-
-2002/03/09
- + add --timeout option, which forces the program to exit with an error
- if no user response is given within the specified number of seconds
- (request by <andrew@argoncorp.com>).
- + modify calendar widget to allow day/month/year values to default to
- the current date (request by <Ron.Perrella@bellsouth.com>).
- + modify display of buttons in checklist.c and menubox.c to handle the
- case where the button label is empty (Debian #134388).
- + extended logic for ok/cancel/help to make this work with checklist
- widget.
- + revert pt_BT.po, apply changes to pt.po (report by Frederic L W
- Meunier).
- > several changes from Stanislav Ievlev:
- + add options --help-button and --help-label to make menubox display a
- third button which can be used to return an exit code causing the
- calling script to show extended help information.
- + use home/end keys in input string-editing, e.g., inputbox.
- + add option --max-input to limit length of string returned by inputbox
- and other widgets which allow the user to edit a string.
-
-2001/12/02
- + add --ok-label and --cancel-label options (request by Kyle Sallee).
- + correct usage message for --fselect option (reported by Patrick J
- Volkerding).
- + add samples/debian.rc, for comparison with slackware.rc
- + corrected samples/slackware.rc, which was just the compiled-in
- default values (patch by Patrick J Volkerding).
- + modify search rule for rc-file to add a global rc file /etc/dialogrc
- (patch by Patrick J Volkerding).
- + updated pt_BR.po with modified entries for fselect.c (Frederic L W
- Meunier).
- + add pl.po (Swiergot <swiergot@l02.ids.czest.pl>).
-
-2001/11/11
- + modify command-line parsing to allow a "--" argument to act as an
- escape, so the next argument is not recognized as an option if it
- begins with "--". This is apparently one of popt's undocumented
- features, upon which some Debian scripts depend (Debian #116642).
- + add da.po (Morten Brix Pedersen <morten@wtf.dk>).
- + add an install-strip rule to makefile, changing the normal install
- rule to not strip the installed executable (based on discussion with
- Santiago Vila).
- + initialize my_output variable if user cannot open /dev/tty, e.g., if
- su'd to another user (patch by Richard Braakman (<dark@ssh.com>), Debian
- #117177).
- + add configure option --with-ncursesw, to allow configure/build with
- wide-character version of ncurses.
-
-2001/10/14
- + add option --ignore, to make dialog be ignore options that it does
- not recognize.
- + add option --trim, to trim literal newlines and repeated spaces from
- text that will be displayed. Add samples/msgbox2, which is the
- same as msgbox1, but using --trim (cf: change for Debian #102942).
- + minor correction to attributes for buttons.c to use active_attr on
- the right-side of a button.
- + add a sample dialog rc-file slackware.rc based on diffs in hdasetup
- package at
- http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/slackware/slackware/source/a/hdsetup/
- (discussion with Frederic L W Meunier).
- + modify dialog.pl to avoid using a statically-named tempfile, allowing
- multiple processes to use this script (patch by James Ranson
- (<euclid80@yahoo.com>), Debian #110609).
- + correct fprintf() call in j_menu() function, i.e., "--menu" option,
- which did not guard against expanding '%' embedded in the parameters
- (Stavros Chatzistefanidis <sxatz@yahoo.com>).
- + add et.po (Ivar Smolin <okul@trenet.ee>).
- + update fr.po (Frederic L W Meunier).
- + modify to allow scripts to alter the exit codes, mainly to
- distinguish ESC and ERROR exits. This is done by setting a shell
- variable such as DIALOG_ESC to a new value (request by Petr Vandrovec
- (<vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>), Debian #99264)
-
-2001/08/27
- + use VPATH in makefile to support build with configure --srcdir, if
- the make program supports that. Note that samples/install/makefile
- is not generated, due to awkward limitation of autoconf script
- (reported by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>).
- + add po/pt_BR.po (Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>).
- + correct sense of --enable/--disable shown in configure --help (report
- by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>).
- + correct logic for --clear option, broken in 2000/07/02 (fixes Debian
- #110254).
-
-2001/08/11
- + porting fixes to work on AIX: flush output to work around bug in
- curses library, use ./killall in scripts to avoid conflict with
- AIX program by that name.
- + modify dlg_trim_string() to retain literal newlines if the string
- does not contain "\\n" strings, and to retain leading blanks on the
- resulting lines, for compatibility with older scripts (Debian
- #102942).
- + add charset specification to cs.po
- + change dates in CHANGES to consistent format, add el.po for Greek
- (patch by kromJx <kromJx@crosswinds.net>).
- + eliminate static globals (bss, data) from modules rc, tailbox,
- textbox using better parameter-passing convention, and const.
- + cleanup temporary files in a few of the sample scripts.
- + rewrote tailboxbg using select() rather than fork(), thereby
- eliminating lock-files. Only one process should be trying to display
- on the screen at any given time.
- + add error check to ensure that numeric parameters are really numbers.
- + correct off-by-one in error messages reporting too-few or too-many
- tokens for a given option (reported by George Mirchev).
- + fix typo in manpage, "textboxbg" where "tailboxbg" was meant
- (reported by George Mirchev <la@mail.techno-link.com>).
- + use DLG_EXIT_xxx symbols consistently for all exit codes.
- + updated es.po (patch by Santiago Vila).
- + updates for some configure script macros from lynx: CF_MAKEFLAGS,
- CF_NCURSES_VERSION, CF_PROG_EXT.
- + fixes to compile if <term.h> is included, e.g., when building with
- AIX curses (report by Suzi Dowson <Suzi.Dowson@capgemini.co.uk>).
-
-2001/05/27
- + updated dialog.pot
- + modify fselect.c to work with autosize, i.e., given height and width
- zero (report by Martin Povolny).
- + add a null-pointer check in justify_text(), needed by fselect.c
- + add several more options which dialog can safely ignore, from
- Xdialog 2.0.2
- + refinements for configure macros checking for $CPPFLAGS, from lynx.
- + update config.guess, config.sub to match autoconf 2.50
- > Martin Povolny <martin@solnet.cz>:
- + add cs.po
- + use nl_langinfo() to customize names for day-of-week, and month
-
-2001/05/11
- > Vincent Stemen <dialog@AdvancedResearch.org>:
- Fixed dialog.c to not pass menu items through dlg_trim_string().
- Stripping extra spaces out of the menu items broke some of my
- scripts by altering the string that it compared to know which menu
- item was selected. There should be no need to do justification on
- the menu items, which are always one line, anyway.
-
-2001/04/29
- > Vincent Stemen <dialog@AdvancedResearch.org>:
- + rewrote the text justification code to be able to have preformatted
- text in the prompts with extra spaces like the older versions of
- dialog. If there are "\n" strings in the text, then extra spaces are
- preserved. Lines are always wrapped on word boundaries.
- + fixed --cr-wrap to break lines on '\n' (newline) characters and not
- add an extra line at the top and bottom of the text. It now works
- as the manual says it should.
- + it is no longer necessary to use "\n\" at the end of lines to escape
- the '\n' character. "\n" now works. 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. Signal 15 is usually SIGTERM, which cannot be caught.
- + correct off-by-one comparison of return-value for arg_rest() which
- made
- dialog --gauge test 10 50
- dump core because it expected a 4th parameter (fixes Debian #80641).
- + resync config.sub, config.guess from
- http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/config/ (which finally have
- cases for OS/2 EMX), minor tweaks to related configure script macros.
-
-2000/12/17
- + restore treatment of predefined height/width in real_auto_size()
- which was lost in 2000/12/12 rewrite (report by Raphael Halimi
- <raphaelh@easynet.fr>).
- + updates for configure script macros AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST,
- CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_LIB_PREFIX, CF_PROG_EXT for $PATHSEP and $CFLAGS
- fixes.
-
-2000/12/13
- + correct change for create_lock(), which resulted in an infinite loop
- (patch by Chris Butler, <chrisb@debian.org>).
-
-2000/12/12
- + rewrote print_autowrap() and real_auto_size() to share common code
- justify_text(), which now does text flow even when the string
- contains newlines (fixes Debian #77199).
- + improve create_lock() function using open() with O_EXCL rather than
- fopen() (patch by Matt Kraai (<kraai@debian.org>), Debian #78951).
- + correct description of --fselect in man page (patch by Tomas Pospisek
- (<tpo@spin.ch>), Debian #77200).
- + add --no-cancel as alias for --nocancel for compatibility with
- Xdialog (report by Luis E Limon <luisl@abriasoft.com>).
-
-2000/10/27
- + some lint fixes using lclint (mostly void-casts, but some
- sign-extension fixes e.g., for ctype.h macros, and loop in
- dlg_char_to_button()).
- + modified to build/run on OS/2 EMX with ncurses.
- + minor changes to po/*.po (trim trailing blanks, provide explicit
- translation for "OK"), to work with Solaris gettext.
- + modified to allow this to build with archaic version (1.8.6)
- of ncurses on FreeBSD 3.1 (does not run).
- + update config.guess, config.sub from subversions.gnu.org
-
-2000/10/17
- + use new function sub_window() to check success/failure of calls to
- subwin(), printing an error message if it fails (fixes Debian #74903).
- + use combination of isatty/ttyname to look for workable tty device
- on systems which have no /dev/tty, e.g., BeOS.
-
-2000/10/08
- + change exiterr() to use stdarg.h, make some messages easier to
- understand.
- + add dialog_clear()
- + make samples/install/setup build.
- + implemented mouse support for buttons, e.g., in yesno dialog using
- ncurses (the gpm support no longer works, but is useful for reference)
- + add a configure check for chtype.
- + updates for configure script macros (CF_BUNDLED_INTL, CF_CURSES_LIBS,
- CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_GCC_WARNINGS, CF_INCLUDE_DIRS), and scripts
- config.guess, config.sub
- + cleanup of item-help change, integrate with checklist and radiobox.
- + add ja.po, from Hirofumi Takeda <takepin@turbolinux.co.jp>.
- > patch by Marco Mariani <marcom@sferacarta.com>
- + add --item-help option, which makes menubox data interpreted as
- 3 columns rather than 2. The third column is displayed on the
- last line of the screen as a help/status message for the currently
- selected item.
- + add it.po, pt.po
- + change TAG_KEY_HL to FALSE, making unselected items in checklist
- easier to read on Linux console.
-
-2000/07/30
- + change real_auto_size() to allow it to be used for dialogs that have
- no prompt, e.g., fselect. Also, rather than requiring both height
- and width to be given as -1 for maximizing the dialog, allow either
- alone.
- + increase minimum height needed for autosized yesno dialog.
- + add --version as an alias for --print-version.
- + fix for build on Solaris without NLS (cannot redefine 'gettext()').
- + add fselect dialog (compatible with Xdialog).
- + add --enable-lxdialog configure option.
- + use new configure macro CF_ARG_MSG_ENABLE to show progress with
- enable/disable switches.
-
-2000/07/02
- + implement --stdout and --stderr options as in Xdialog.
- + move logic that translates "\\n" into '\n' into main program to
- simplify logic that formats text.
- + make ifdef's for rc-file not specific to ncurses.
- + correct logic making percent parameter of gauge optional.
-
-2000/06/29
- + add alternate test-script for gauge, adapted from Xdialog.
- + modify gauge to make optional a percentage which was read at the
- beginning of the XXX-delimited message text, since clones of dialog
- are written to assume this is text. If the line is not a simple
- integer, dialog will treat it as text.
- + make the percent parameter of gauge optional, as in Xdialog.
- + undo one use of CharOf() in guage.c, an error.
- + fix configure macro AM_WITH_NLS to refrain from attempting to make a
- symbolic link into/libintl.h if we are not using the bundled intl
- directory from gettext (reported by Julian Coleman
- <J.D.Coleman@newcastle.ac.uk>).
- + add ru.po, from Michael Sobolev <mss@transas.com>
- + updates for config.guess, config.sub from tin.
- + updates for configure script macros: CF_MATH_LIB (improperly nested
- brackets/parenthesis) and CF_XOPEN_CURSES (make include of
- <*curses.h> depend on configure tests).
-
-2000/04/25
- + repaint screen when a control/L is pressed.
- + apply CharOf() macro to avoid sign-extension on calls to waddch(),
- fixes a problem with accented characters (reported by Santiago Vila).
- + add es.po, from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>
-
-2000/04/23
- + modified to use gettext (configure option --enable-nls). This uses
- gettext 0.10.35, which must be previously installed. (It can also
- use an included intl library, but I consider that to be a waste of
- disk space).
- + remove code in checklist/radiobox, menubox that try to use
- abbreviations for the OK/Cancel buttons since those conflict with the
- check for abbreviations in list entries, which are more useful.
- + moved padding of button labels out of string literals, into the
- logic of dlg_draw_buttons().
- + resync/update with configure macros CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_FIND_LIBRARY,
- CF_HEADER_PATH, CF_LIBRARY_PATH and CF_NCURSES_LIBS, as well as
- mkdirs.sh and config.guess.
-
-2000/02/22
- + add --default-item option, for menubox to set the default selection
- (fixes Debian #49796).
- + add sample scripts for --nocancel and --fb options with inputbox.
- + modify inputbox* sample scripts to show application errors, if any.
- + add --nocancel option, and ignore --noitem, --fb, --fullbutton, to
- make this compatible with whiptail scripts. (whiptail does not
- handle many dialog scripts however).
- + modify checklist/radiobox to handle home, end, nextpage, prevpage
- keys, as well as make the abbreviation search work for the whole
- list, not only the current page.
- + treat KEY_LL the same as KEY_END in checklist and textbox.
- + add logic for KEY_BTAB.
- + use new function dlg_draw_buttons() to better manage the layout of
- yes/no/ok/cancel buttons.
- + another pass of cleanup of dialog.c, makes it use a single table for
- lookup of option names and help-message. Eliminated numerous
- adjustments to 'offset' variable.
- + on initialization, check if standard input is from a terminal. If
- not, open /dev/tty (fixes Debian #57771)
-
-2000/02/05
- + implement inline editing in textbox.c search dialog.
- + revise inputbox.c, allowing inline editing with arrow-keys. removed
- redundant logic in that module.
- + correct a typo that prevented rc-file configuration from building.
- + correct ifdef's to compile/run if the curses implementation does not
- support color.
-
-2000/01/23
- + improve test-case for gauge.
- + change gauge.c to show progress in reverse-video, add a check for
- end-of-file in the loop for reading new messages.
- + use curses whline() function to simplify print_arrows() logic in
- checklist.c and menubox.c
- + use curses beep() function rather than hardcoded strings.
- + correct several compiler warnings for gcc -pedantic (mismatch of
- const, signed/unsigned).
- + modify exiterr() to avoid possible expansion of '%'.
- + change CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to allow specifying a particular
- test-function. For dialog, this should be sqrt(). The macro was
- originally written for ncurses, which needs sin(). However, that is
- a builtin function on the m68k port (reported by Roman Hodek
- <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>, this fixes Debian #55553).
-
-2000/01/18
- + update manpage (Debian #25648).
- + modify configure test for math library to avoid using a constant
- parameter to the test function, lest gcc optimize the call away
- (fixes Debian #55553).
- + restructure help-message so actual problem is indicated. The original
- help-message is shown if no parameters are given, or if the --help
- option is specified alone.
- + suppress xterm's alternate screen mode by sending an exit_ca_mode
- after initscr if the terminal looks like xterm, e.g., has key_mouse
- defined, and has private-mode escapes in both enter_ca_mode and
- exit_ca_mode (fixes Debian #55181).
- + change yellow lettering on white to blue on white, since it offers
- better contrast (fixes Debian #51196).
- + use napms() rather than sleep().
- + some cleanup/simplification of main program. Indent'd dialog.c and
- util.c
- + eliminate several places where repeated options are treated as
- an error, since they are really executed once anyway.
-
-2000/01/15
- + remove pre-autoconf Makefile
- + remove sleep's from a few of the sample scripts, which left users
- thinking that dialog was slow to complete an action.
- + rewrote infobox sample script, using dialog's --sleep option and
- a loop in the script.
- + change 'ch' variable in tailbox.c to an integer, because it is
- compared against EOF (fixes Debian #53157).
- + corrected mandir variable in makefile.in (reported by Santiago Vila).
- + small changes to sample scripts, from Debian: rename "guage" script
- to "gauge", change path to copy of GPL used in textbox.
- + add uninstall rule to makefile.in, fixed some dependencies so
- "make install" works without first doing "make all".
-
-1999/12/25
- + use more portable scheme for tempfile generation in samples.
- + add a configure script, prefer to not use the original Makefile
- because it works only with GNU make.
- + correct prototype of 'main()', which misused const.
- + modify guage.c to use fgets() rather than gets().
- + merge changes from Debian package maintainer
- Santiago Vila <sanvila@ctv.es>:
-
- 1999/10/07
- + add a password dialog box.
- + implement "--defaultno" option to specify if the default for
- the yes/no box is "No".
- 1999/03/10
- + modify input.c to clear the input field to the right of the
- given string (unclear: this seems redundant, since the
- dialog is drawn in a new window).
- 1998/12/08
- + check for list_height less than one in checklist.c
- 1998/10/21
- + use function wscrl() in preference to scroll() in checklist.c
- and menubox.c (unclear: in ncurses, scroll() is a macro that
- uses wscrl()).
- + remove the "-I/usr/include/ncurses" option from Makefile
- since Debian does not install ncurses' header files into
- that directory.
- 1998/09/12
- + simplify menubox.c using new functions print_arrows() and
- print_items().
- + add logic to handle KEY_NPAGE and KEY_PPAGE.
- + change sample scripts to use Debian tempfile utility rather
- than putting files into /tmp.
- + change sample scripts to use 'dialog' from user's path rather
- than in the parent directory as in the build directory.
- + use the system copy of GPL rather than that in the build
- directory as an example for the textbox script.
-
-1999/11/27
- + fix some gcc warnings about ambiguous use of "else"
-
-1999/05/01
- + cleaned up some of the redundant code with new functions:
- box_x_ordinate
- box_y_ordinate
- draw_title
- draw_bottom_box
- new_window
-
- + modified msgbox.c and yesno.c to work with the KEY_RESIZE sigwinch
- handling in ncurses 4.2
-
- + corrected spelling of "gauge"
-
-The relevant portions of the Debian change log for the original version
-(dialog-0.9a-12) are abstracted here, omitting details of their packaging:
-
-1998/05/24
-
- + Replaced guage.c by the one in dialog 0.6z, which is known to work.
- Fixes Bug #18284: unstable dialog.
-
-1997/12/16
-
- + dialog.c: dialog_input_result printed with "%s" format. This was
- Bug #9913, fixed by Bill Mitchell, but the change was lost.
- + Pristine source, .depend is not removed in clean target. Instead, it
- is made zero lenght (otherwise it would not work *without* fakeroot).
- + Added '^U' support in input box (Bug #9915, patch by joey@debian.org).
- + Wrote patch to fix core-dumping problem (Bug #13170). Sven Rudolph
