4This version of dialog was originally from a Debian snapshot.  I've done this
5to it:
6
72015/09/20
8	+ decrease table value for minimum number of arguments for the widgets
9	  which use --no-items option (report by Raven Singularity).
10	+ update configure macros:
11	  + use $SHELL consistently, deprecate non-POSIX shell
12	  + PKG_CONFIG may simply be unset - fix
13	  + add option to allow changing ABI version, from ncurses6.
14
152015/05/28
16	+ fixes for two autoconf macros, CF_ADD_INCDIR and CF_NCURSES_CONFIG
17	  from work on ncurses.
18	+ build-fix for NetBSD curses (patch by Matthias Scheler).
19
202015/05/13
21	+ add configure option --with-install-prefix, like ncurses.
22	+ add --with-screen and related configure options from ncurses-examples
23	  to allow building with ncurses6 test-packages.
24	+ update configure macros for improved coding style from lynx changes.
25	+ updated ro.po from
26		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
27	+ update config.guess, config.sub
28	> patches by Florent Rougon:
29	+ fix two bugs in the "--file" option.
30	  + When the number of arguments read from the included file is 0, the
31	    code used to just skip over '--file' and its argument instead of
32	    removing them from the argument list, causing "Error:  Unknown
33	    option --file" later on.
34	  + In the alternative case (at least one argument read from the file),
35	    the previous code used to do '--j;' in order to "force rescan" of
36	    the inserted arguments.  However, control then flowed to outer
37	    blocks where a '++j;' counteracted this measure, causing "Error:
38	    Unknown option --msgbox" (for instance) later on.
39	+ modify escaping in argv.c to be more uniform, whether or not the
40	  backslash is found within a parameter.
41
422015/02/25
43	+ modify gauge widget to keep from erasing a second gauge widget, e.g.,
44	  via the "--and-widget" option.  This is a cosmetic change to match
45	  behavior of dialog 1.0 (report by Jason Orendorf).
46	+ add configure option "--with-man2html"
47	+ add configure options for versioned symbols, from ongoing work on
48	  ncurses.
49	+ update configure macros, e.g., for shared libraries
50
512015/01/25
52	+ suppress highlighting of character which denotes an abbreviation or
53	  shortcut for the OK/Cancel and other buttons for these widgets, which
54	  use abbreviations for the list shown on the screen:  buildlist,
55	  checklist/radiobox, menubox, treeview (Debian #775295).
56	+ add grid up/left and down/right bindings in editbox.c as synonyms for
57	  field prev and next, respectively when handling the OK/Cancel buttons
58	  (Debian #775294).
59
602014/09/11
61	+ correct malloc-size for change to prgbox.
62
632014/09/10
64	+ fixes to make "-c" option work when passing command to shell for the
65	  prgbox widget, for example in samples/prgbox2 (report by Korantin
66	  Auguste).
67
682014/09/08
69	+ fix an out-of-bounds array index in buildlist widget (report by
70	  Cade Foster).
71
722014/09/01
73	+ add configure check for groff, needed for html/ps/pdf output.
74	+ update configure-script macros:
75	  + CF_ACVERSION_CHECK - work around another gratuitous incompatibility
76	    introduced in 2.69
77	  + CF_ADD_CFLAGS - workaround for ash-shell, e.g., with Minix
78	  + CF_ADD_LIBS - filter out duplicates
79	  + CF_CURSES_FUNCS - improve workaround for weak-linkage, seems to fix
80	    tests with NetBSD 6.1
81	  + CF_INTEL_COMPILER - clean up the -no-gcc option which was leftover
82	    from testing.
83	  + CF_LIB_SUFFIX - change suffix for AIX shared libraries to ".so".
84	  + CF_MAKEFLAGS - workaround for GNU make 4.0 incompatibility with
85	    previous releases.
86	  + CF_XOPEN_SOURCE - add cases for Minix, UnixWare and improve the
87	    workaround for Solaris.
88	+ improve comparison in compare_cache() function, in case difference
89	  between pointers does not fit in int's.
90	+ updated de.po, es.po, hu.po, lv.po from
91		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
92	+ update config.guess, config.sub
93
942014/02/19
95	+ cleanup of manpages prompted by Gislason's comments.
96	+ several changes to manpages to improve presentation (patches by
97	  Bjarni I. Gislason, Debian #739180, Debian #739181)
98	  + use "\/" when transitioning from italic to normal font
99	  + correct an instance of "e.g,."
100	  + use "\e" rather than "\\" to present a literal "\"
101	  + improve formatting of table header
102	  + remove some excess space-characters
103	  + change a reference 0-9 to use "through" as the connector
104	  + use "\&" to separate "." from a space to make the space shorter
105	  + change a list's TP macro parameters to make the hanging text align
106	    better with the adjacent paragraph
107	  + add comma in a few places before "and" in a list
108	  + separate units from numbers with a nonfillable space
109	  + replace "-" with en-dash in a few places
110	+ corrected argument indices after "--args" and "--file" to rescan the
111	  argument list after removing/substituting those options.
112	+ fix loops for "--file" option to handle cases with zero or no tokens at
113	  all substituted (Redhat #1066168).
114	+ add gd.po from
115		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
116
1172014/01/12
118	+ improve calculation for amount to scroll in programbox when an "Ok"
119	  button might obscure part of the data (report by Florent Rougon).
120	+ modify program to permit --separate-output to be used with buildlist
121	  and treeview widgets (report by Florent Rougon).
122	+ add list-height parameter to manpage description of --buildlist
123	  (report by Florent Rougon).
124	+ minor fixes to dialog.1 manpage; the reported problem was actually
125	  fixed in 20120703 (Debian #726233, patch by Bjarni Ingi Gislason).
126	+ add a "Hello World" example to dialog.3 manpage (prompted by
127	  discussions with Dustin Oprea, Kevin Ingwersen).
128	+ correct comparison in dlg_lookup_key() so that using "bindkey" with
129	  a "*" wildcard parameter works as documented (report by Stewart
130	  Benedict).
131	+ updated configure macros, fixes for clang and mingw.
132	+ update config.guess, config.sub
133
1342013/09/28
135	+ fix a regression in gauge widget from 2013/09/28 changes;
136	  dlg_reallocate_gauge() failed when no --title option was given
137	  (report by Tritonas Insomnia).
138
1392013/09/23
140	+ fix samples/inputbox6-utf8, which had depended unnecessarily on bash.
141	+ improve memory caching for wide-character manipulation in gauge
142	  widget (report by Devin Teske).
143	+ add dlg_reallocate_gauge (discussion with Devin Teske).
144	+ updated configure macros to use msys changes from ncurses.
145	+ update config.guess, config.sub
146
1472013/09/02
148	+ modify makefile rule to make the ".png" filenames created by groff
149	  predictable.
150	+ add option --help-tags to allow scripts to get the item's tag field
151	  consistently from help- and help-item button results rather than
152	  getting the item's text for the latter (discussion with Florent
153	  Rougon).
154	+ correct manpage discussion of DIALOG_ITEM_HELP versus --item-help,
155	  as well as --help-button return status (report by Florent Rougon).
156	+ correct limit used for --hline option (report by Devin Teske,
157	  cf: 2011/06/30).
158	+ do not print empty "[]" if a --hline option was given with an empty
159	  value (report by Devin Teske).
160	+ miscellaneous configure script fixes/updates.  In particular, add
161	  option --with-shared which builds shared libraries without a libtool
162	  dependency.
163	+ add FreeBSD port-files for test-builds.
164	+ update lt.po, add fa.po from
165		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
166	+ update config.guess, config.sub
167
1682013/05/23
169	+ modify ifdef in arrows.c to work around packages which use the
170	  wide-character ncursesw headers with the ncurses library (report
171	  by Aleksey Cheusov).
172	+ correct workaround for xterm alternate-screen to work with/without
173	  the fix made in ncurses that makes putp() always write to the
174	  standard output (Debian #708829).
175	+ improve limit-checks for checklist, in case the dialog is resized
176	  (report by Ilya A Arkhipov).
177	+ add --last-key option (adapted from patch by Jordi Pujol, Debian
178	  #697607).
179
1802013/03/15
181	+ update zh_TW.po, add an.po from
182		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
183
1842012/12/30 - release 1.2
185	+ improve some older changelog entries to help with HTML'izing content.
186	+ various fixes/improvments for scrollbar appearance.
187	+ add mappings for some equivalent options provided by whiptail;
188	  add configure option --disable-whiptail to allow suppressing these.
189	+ add configure option --disable-Xdialog2 to allow suppressing the
190	  newer features, i.e., for cdialog 1.2
191	+ add --no-items option, for consistency.
192	+ add --no-tags option, like Xdialog.
193	+ add buildlist, rangebox and treeview dialogs, like Xdialog.
194	+ remove obsolete workaround for ncurses 4.2 scrolling in checklist
195	  and menubox.
196	+ improve dialog_helpfile() by preventing it from showing extra buttons
197	  (suggested by xDog Walker).
198	+ correct logic in formbox's scroll_next() function (report by xDog
199	  Walker).
200	+ fix a case with inputbox widget where preset input text is not shown
201	  until moving the cursor within the text (report by xDog Walker).
202	+ handle SIGCHLD in dialog_prgbox() to eliminate defunct processes
203	  (report by xDog Walker).
204	+ improve the way "hotkeys" are assigned to widget buttons by checking
205	  if a given key has already been used in the row of buttons (Debian
206	  #684933).
207	+ amend fix for --trace parsing from 2012/07/03, which sometimes
208	  skipped a parameter (report by xDog Walker).
209	+ drop copismall and install files from samples, which were essentially
210	  nonfunctional.
211	+ correct secondary border colors in samples/slackware.rc and
212	  samples/whiptail.rc
213	+ update gl.po, add ia.po from
214		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
215	+ fix various issues reported by coverity scan.
216	+ miscellaneous configure script fixes/updates:
217	  + require autoconf 2.52+patches
218	  + support --datarootdir option
219	  + check for clang compiler
220	  + check for tinfo library when looking for ncurses
221	  + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE for autoheader
222	  + remove unused macros from aclocal.m4
223	+ update config.guess, config.sub
224
2252012/07/06
226	+ modify samples/setup-tempfile to work with Tru64's shell.
227	+ modify inputmenu sample scripts to make them more portable:
228	  + use "id" rather than "$GROUPS", use sed to work with Solaris.
229	  + use sed to split-up the rename results to work with HPUX.
230	+ fix regression in msgbox (ArchLinux #30574)
231
2322012/07/03
233	+ modify prgbox widget to work with --extra-button, etc.
234	+ add case values to several widgets to allow for mouse-clicks with
235	"--extra-button" and "--help-button" additions.
236	+ correct timebox widget's exit code for "--extra-button" when handing
237	  the "enter" key.
238	+ modify msgbox widget to honor "--extra-button".
239	+ corrected processing of "--trace" option, which did not update the
240	  index into command-line to point past its value.
241	+ add a check in dialog program for valid characters used in option,
242	  e.g., to generate an error if a script attempts to add option value
243	  using "=" rather than with whitespace.
244	+ add new command-line option --default-button and library function
245	  dlg_default_button() to retrieve the value set by the option
246	  to provide a way to set the default button directly rather than
247	  by combining --nook, etc. (patch by Zoltan Kelemen).
248	+ amend include of unctrl.h to apply only to the case where curses.h
249	  is included, to avoid conflict of ncurses' unctrl.h with a system
250	  implementation (report by Martin Roedlach)
251	+ add limit-check to dlg_toupper() in non-wide curses mode to work
252	  when non-character values such as arrow-key codes are passed to
253	  it (patch by Zoltan Kelemen).
254	+ override timeout value, e.g., as set via --timeout command-line
255	  option in pause widget because that interferes with pause's behavior
256	  (report by Jan Spitalnik).
257	+ modify samples/inputmenu* to allow ":" in renamed text (report by
258	  Andreas Stoewing).
259	+ modify double-quoting to make it more consistent, i.e., checklist
260	  output is quoted only when needed.  This fixes the case where
261	  single-quotes were used whether or not needed, but also modifies
262	  older checklist behavior for double-quoting which always added those
263	  (Debian #663664).
264	+ correct exit-code used in inputmenu for "rename" button (Debian
265	  #673041, forwarded from Ubuntu #333909, patch by Lebedev Vadim).
266	+ update el.po and hr.po from
267		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
268	+ use checkbashisms to clean up sample scripts.
269
2702012/02/15
271	+ modify menubox.c to use the same improvement as in checklist.c
272	+ improve auto width computation for checklist widget by using
273	  dlg_calc_list_width as in the non-auto case (Edho Arief).
274	+ eliminate some bashisms in the sample scripts (Pedro Giffuni).
275	+ makefile fixes from FreeBSD ports (Li-Wen Hsu):
276	  + make --with-package option of configure script work.
277	  + get LIBTOOL_VERSION from configure script, needed by
278	    ${LIBTOOL_VERSION} in LIBTOOL_CREATE (LIB_CREATE in configure and
279	    aclocal.m4)
280	+ update cs.po and sr.po from
281		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
282	+ updated configure script macros, improving CF_XOPEN_SOURCE among
283	  other fixes.
284
2852011/10/20
286	+ fix --analyze warnings for clang versions 2.8, 2.9.
287	+ add configure check for lint program.
288	+ add check in dlg_getc() in case its window is freed as a side effect
289	  of removing callbacks.
290	+ fix logic in freeing subwindows (report by xDog Walker).
291	+ fix a regression in logic distinguishing between inputmenu and menu
292	  widgets (report by xDog Walker).
293	+ minor fixes to library manpage.
294
2952011/10/18
296	+ modify header-sh.in to work around limit on sed script length on
297	  HPUX.
298	+ add a special case of parameter parsing for "--trace" to the
299	  initialization done before calling init_dialog(), to allow users to
300	  capture the initial state of the parameter list before any options
301	  are processed and removed.  This is only done if "--trace" is the
302	  first option, otherwise it is handled in the common options as before
303	  (report by xDog Walker).
304	+ modify samples/testdata-8bit, discarding $1 from the parameter list
305	  if it was used, so that the source'ing scripts can consistently use
306	  "$@" to insert parameters before the widget, e.g., as an alternative
307	  to using $DIALOGOPTS (report by xDog Walker).
308	+ modify treatment of function pointers in menubox.c, make
309	  dlg_renamed_menutext() and dlg_dummy_menutext() visible to library
310	  users (request by xDog Walker).
311	+ add dlg_count_real_columns(), use to modify centering for "--hline"
312	  text to account for "\Z"s (report by xDog Walker).
313	+ improve check in dlg_draw_arrows2() for conflict between the window
314	  title and up-arrow marker to take into account that the given window
315	  may not be the top-level window of the widget.
316	+ change width of page up/down mouse areas in fselect panes to use the
317	  full width of the panes rather than only the portion from the left
318	  margin to the up/down arrow.
319	+ add/use dlg_draw_box2() and dlg_draw_bottom_box2() to use the
320	  secondary borders.
321	+ modify rc-file read/write to accept/generate color values that refer
322	  to previously-processed items in the color table.  This reduces the
323	  number of distinct colors that must be specified to set up a color
324	  scheme.
325	+ add color table entries for secondary borders, i.e., the ones that
326	  are normally drawn with the dialog's text-colors (Debian #641168).
327	+ modify fselect.c to scan the current directory if the input field
328	  happens to be empty (Debian #640905).
329	+ repeated the discussion of environment variables that can override
330	  the exit-status values in the manpage's return-codes section
331	  (Debian #642105).
332	+ add an example to the manpage showing how to override the form
333	  widget's keys used for field/button traversal (Debian #642108).
334	+ modify call to dlg_register_window() in formbox.c so that the editing
335	  bindings are attached to the form sub-window rather than the
336	  top-level dialog window.  Also change the name by which the editing
337	  bindings are bound for editbox.c, fselect.c and inputbox.c, so that
338	  the editing and navigation bindings can be different.
339	+ correct logic in dlg_lookup_key() so that it matches the widget name
340	  before using a binding from .dialogrc, allowing the inner/outer
341	  windows of form and other editing widgets to have different bindings.
342	+ modify dlg_register_window() to call dlg_dump_window_keys() after
343	  its updates, via the --trace output, to supplement the manpage
344	  description of key bindings (Debian #642108).
345	+ add DLGK_FORM_PREV and DLGK_FORM_NEXT key-bindings to form.c, to
346	  allow binding a single key to traverse both form-fields and buttons
347	  (Debian #642108).
348	+ modify dlg_parse_rc() to check for error return from
349	  dlg_parse_bindkey().
350	+ add function dlg_dump_window_keys(), to help with debugging widgets.
351	+ add CR, LF, TAB, FF and ESC to table of curses names to help make
352	  key bindings more readable.
353	+ update table of dialog key-names so that helpfile and trace are
354	  dumped properly.
355	+ correct dlg_dump_keys(), which was showing only the first item in
356	  the matched binding table.
357	+ save/restore window current position in dlg_update_mixedgauge().
358	+ pass return-code from pause_for_ok() from dlg_progressbox() when
359	  pauseopt is set, rather than only DLG_OK.
360	+ call setlocale() in init_dialog() rather than relying on on-demand
361	  use within inputstr.c, since there are paths in textbox widget which
362	  do not exercise the latter (report by xDog Walker).
363	+ fix some places where checks for "\Z" were done without also checking
364	  dialog_vars.colors (report by Moray Henderson).
365	+ correct logic for DIALOGOPTS parsing so that the parse happens only
366	  once unless memory leak checking is enabled (report by xDog Walker).
367	+ remove an incorrect free() call in dlg_free_gauge() (report by xDog
368	  Walker).
369	+ modify dlg_trace_win() to log wide-characters (report by xDog Walker).
370	+ make traces shorter by skipping repeated ERR's, but showing the
371	  number skipped (report by xDog Walker).
372	+ improve description in manpage to distinguish program box and
373	  progress box from tailboxes (adapted from email by xDog Walker).
374	+ modify dlg_trace_win() so that it looks for the topmost window in a
375	  dialog.  Because subwindows share space with the top window, tracing
376	  the latter shows the whole widget (report by xDog Walker).
377	+ expand tracing so that each window is traced before soliciting input,
378	  making the ^T feature to print a window on demand partly redundant
379	  (suggested by xDog Walker).
380	+ cosmetic change in dialog.h to avoid "*/*" strings from comments next
381	  to "*" (report by xDog Walker).
382	+ ensure result from dlg_align_columns() has trailing null on each
383	  string.  Analysis was hindered by libc6's continuance of libc5's
384	  early-1990s misfeature of clearing the result from malloc, noting
385	  that libc6's documentation incorrectly claims that it does not do
386	  this (report by xDog Walker).
387
3882011/07/07
389	+ modify util.c to work better with old versions of ncurses:
390	  + suppress use of wchgat() before fix in 20060715 which is needed
391	    for simple shadow manipulation used here in 2011/06/30 (report
392	    by xDog Walker).
393	  + add a null-pointer check in dlg_print_scrolled()
394	+ fix a regression in dlg_getc() introduced by changes to intercept
395	  F1 for help-popup (report by xDog Walker).
396
3972011/06/30
398	+ correct license statement for prgbox.c (Debian #632198).
399	+ correct layout when "--colors" is used, by discounting characters in
400	  the escape sequences from the column counts (report by xDog Walker).
401	+ modify dlg_checklist() so that only one item in the list can
402	  initially be selected (report by xDog Walker).
403	+ add/use macro dlg_enter_buttoncode() to improve implementation of
404	  "--nook" option (report by xDog Walker).
405	+ add option "--no-nl-expand" to suppress the conversion of "\n"
406	  strings into newlines (request by xDog Walker).
407	+ modify LIB_CREATE symbol in makefile.in to include the library
408	  dependencies such as ncurses.  This is needed when dynamically
409	  loading the library (report/analysis by xDog Walker).
410	+ modify dlg_exit_label() to suppress the Cancel button, for
411	  consistency.
412	+ modify dlg_exit_label() to honor the --nook option, except when there
413	  is no other button, e.g., the help-button.
414	+ modify dlg_exit_buttoncode() so that it returns the proper code for
415	  help-button (report by xDog Walker).
416	+ correct loop limit when processing "--column-separator" (report by
417	  xDog Walker).
418	+ modify handling of "--version" and "--help" to ensure that they are
419	  processed, and exit before widgets.  Separate "--print-version"
420	  from "--version", allowing its output to be interspersed with
421	  widget output (report by xDog Walker).
422	+ correct a few places where "--version" or "--help" options went
423	  always to stdout rather than allowing redirection with the "--stderr"
424	  option (report by xDog Walker).
425	+ improve repainting after erasing a widget and its shadow.
426	+ add "--hline" and "--hfile" options for compatibility with FreeBSD
427	  dialog (request by Devin Teske).
428	+ add dialog version message when opening a trace file (request by
429	  xDog Walker).
430	+ show filename of rc-file in traces.
431	+ add piped-in data for gauge widget to traces.
432	+ add entrypoints to gauge widget, for allocating, updating and freeing
433	  the widget (adapted from patch by Stephen Hurd).
434	+ fix a reference to freed memory in the gauge widget.
435	+ fix --no-mouse option by actually closing the mouse (report by
436	  xDog Walker).
437	+ add sk.po from
438		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
439	+ limit Solaris xpg4 portability fix for redefinition of ERR to cover
440	  the specific value found in <sys/regset.h>, in case an application
441	  includes dialog.h after curses.h (FreeBSD #156601, report by Jaakko
442	  Heinonen, Stephen Hurd).
443	+ updated configure macros:
444	  + CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS,
445	  + CF_CURSES_LIBS, make checks for special libraries on hpux10 and
446	    sunos4 optional
447	  + CF_CURSES_FUNCS, workaround for bug in gcc 4.2.1 (FreeBSD 8.1)
448	    which caused part of test program to be omitted, i.e., when it saw
449	    two return-statements in a row it omitted the _first_ one.  Also
450	    add expression to pointer check to help FreeBSD's linker decide it
451	    should be validated.  Just an assignment was not enough.  Also, add
452	    check for unctrl.h
453	  + CF_CURSES_HEADER, change order for curses.h / ncurses.h pairs to
454	    put ncurses.h first, which will tend to provide the same #define's
455	    as in CF_NCURSES_HEADER (report by Dennis Preiser).
456	  + CF_CURSES_TERM_H, modify to avoid spurious check for
457	    <curses.hterm.h> if there is no ncurses version.  Look for
458	    ncurses's term.h anyway, to work around breakage by packagers who
459	    separate ncurses' header files.
460	  + CF_DISABLE_RPATH_HACK, fix garbled message
461	  + CF_LD_RPATH_OPT, add mirbsd
462	  + CF_MAKEFLAGS, filter out GNU make's entering/leaving messages.
463	    This only appeared when using the macro in a dpkg script, though it
464	    should have in other cases.
465	  + CF_RPATH_HACK, add a check for libraries not found, e.g., from
466	    suppressed functionality of gcc in linking from /usr/local/lib, and
467	    add a -L option to help work around this.
468	  + CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, workaround for cygwin to get ncurses' configure
469	    script to define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED (cygwin's features.h
470	    doesn't do anything, so it needs a crutch).
471	+ update config.guess, config.sub
472
4732011/03/02
474	+ add --prgbox and --programbox (adapted from patch by David Boyd).
475	+ add sl.po from
476		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
477	+ fix timeouts from 2011/01/18, which were being interpreted as
478	  milliseconds rather than seconds (report by Luis Moreira).
479
4802011/01/18
481	+ fix inconsistency in return-codes for textbox when help-button is
482	  used by making dlg_exit_buttoncode() a wrapper for
483	  dlg_ok_buttoncode().
484	+ modify pause widget to use dlg_ok_buttoncode(), so help-button works.
485	+ correct two infobox sample scripts, which did not pass extra
486	  command-line parameters due to quoting problems.
487	+ add a limit-check to the timebox widget (patch by Garrett Cooper).
488	+ modify --trace option to also trace the command-line parameters.
489	+ account for combining characters when wrapping text (Debian #570634).
490	+ correct handling of SIGWINCH in gauge widget (Debian #305705).
491	+ add gauge_color, to make guage's progress-bar distinct from
492	  title_color (request by Dominic Derdau).
493	+ update fi.po from
494		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
495	  as well as resync line-numbers in the other po-files.
496	+ modify configure script and dialog program to build with NetBSD's
497	  wide-character curses functions, including workarounds for its
498	  incorrect WACS_xxx definitions.  Some of the UTF-8 examples work.
499	+ add back-tab for traversal of tailboxbg widgets, for symmetry with
500	  tab-traversal.
501	+ reduce flicker in tailboxbg by checking if the input file size has
502	  changed.
503	+ modify internals of callbacks to avoid blocking reads of their
504	  associated files by keyboard input.
505	+ add command-line option --no-mouse, to suppress use of mouse.
506	+ add configure option --enable-header-subdir to allow the header files
507	  to be installed into a subdirectory named for the package.
508	+ modify dlg_restore_vars() to retain the updated values of
509	  input_result and input_length, eliminating the need for a caller to
510	  provide their own user buffer (prompted by report by Thiago Bimbatti
511	  Felicio).
512	+ add a null-pointer check in show_result() for
513	  dialog_vars.input_result, and ensure it is set to null after freeing
514	  (prompted by report by Thiago Bimbatti Felicio).
515	+ change order of -I options in CPPFLAGS (report by Michel Feldheim)
516	+ modify pause-widget so that it no longer exits when an unrecognized
517	  key is pressed (patch by Creidieki M Crouch).
518	+ add --with-package option to configure script to allow renaming
519	  of the dialog program and library, to support the package scripts.
520	+ add Debian and RPM package scripts for test-builds.
521	+ several improvements to configure script:
522	  + quote params of ifelse()
523	  + change obsolete ${name-value} to standard ${name:-value}
524	  + use new macros CF_ADD_LIB/CF_ADD_LIBS to enforce consistency.
525	  + AM_GNU_GETTEXT, drop $MKINSTALLDIRS, use "mkdir -p" consistently.
526	  + CF_ADD_SUBDIR_PATH, workaround - if $prefix was not mkdir'd yet, no
527	    directories were added.
528	  + CF_BUNDLED_INTL, add --with-textdomain option, to use with lynx-dev
529	    package
530	  + CF_FIND_LINKAGE, simplify save/restore of $LIBS
531	  + CF_GCC_WARNINGS, fix for Mac OS X (compiler makes conftest.dSYM
532	    directory)
533	  + CF_HEADER_PATH, don't search for variations of everything in the
534	    current include-path
535	  + CF_WITH_CURSES_DIR, move the calls to CF_ADD_INCDIR and
536	    CF_ADD_LIBDIR for the curses-directory here, from
537	    CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS and CF_NCURSES_LDFLAGS, so it will work even
538	    with the default checking, e.g., no --with-ncurses, etc.
539	+ update config.guess, config.sub
540
5412010/04/28
542	+ several improvements to configure script:
543	  + modify CF_CURSES_TERM_H to handle cases such as cygwin where
544	    packager has installed curses.h and term.h in different
545	    directories, e.g., to wedge in a termcap library.
546	  + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, adding special case for OpenSolaris
547	  + modify CF_MAKE_TAGS to add check for exctags and exetags, prefer to
548	    ctags and etags to work around pkgsrc (NetBSD) renaming.
549	  + correct CF_FIND_LINKAGE, setting cache variable for library_file in
550	    the special case where no directory search is made.
551	  + improve CF_GCC_VERSION, suppress stderr for c89 alias of gcc.
552	  + improve CF_GCC_WARNINGS, moving -W and -Wall into the list to
553	    check, since c89 alias for gcc complains about these options.
554	  + modify CF_HEADER_PATH, to not search for variations of everything
555	    in the current include-path
556	  + use "mkdir -p", remove mkdirs.sh
557	  + use CF_CURSES_HEADER to fill in possible subdirectory used for
558	    ncurses header filename.
559	  + modify CF_XOPEN_CURSES to work around current ncurse header loss of
560	    predefinition of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
561	  + add "--disable-rpath-hack" option, along with scripting to add
562	    rpath option to libraries found in unusual places.
563	+ modify pause widget to autosize like gauge, and to omit the area for
564	  buttons when none are displayed.
565	+ fix an infinite loop in dlg_button_layout() if there are no buttons
566	  to display (Debian #579390).
567	+ add makefile rules for generating html, etc., documentation from
568	  nroff.
569	> patches by Samuel Mart�n Moro
570	+ reset errors in tailbox before reading new character.
571	+ modify dlg_draw_scrollbar(), omitting hiding percentages in boxes
572	  when no arrows or scrollbar are needed.
573	+ correct value of row for scrollbars in formbox.
574	+ update es.po from
575		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
576
5772010/01/19
578	+ split up binding tables in inputbox and similar widgets to avoid
579	  conflict between cursor-key use for input-string versus navigation
580	  (report by slakmagik).
581	+ if strftime() is available, support --time-format option for timebox
582	  widget.
583	+ if strftime() is available, support --date-format option for calendar
584	  widget (request by Walter Harms).
585	+ build-fixes for linking to intl library in /usr/local
586	+ add --scrollbar option, use in most widgets to show a scrollbar on
587	  the right margin of the data.  That is cosmetic, does not respond to
588	  the mouse.
589	+ reuse functions from msgbox to allow prompt for yesno box to be
590	  scrolled in a too-small window.
591	+ correct mapping of button-codes with --nook option (report by Lebedev
592	  Vadim).
593	+ cleanup sample scripts using new utility scripts setup-* and report-*,
594	  and allow command-line parameters to be added, for ad hoc testing.
595	+ correct change to tailbox widget from 2009/02/22 using
596	  dlg_button_layout(), which broke that widget.
597	+ document some of the portability caveats.
598	+ modify gauge widget to service callbacks (prompted by patch and
599	  comments by Frank Sorenson).
600	+ modify editbox to allow its input buffer to be larger than MAX_LEN
601	  unless bounded by the --max-input option, and add limit-checks for
602	  the buffer (report by slakmagik).
603	+ improve manpage description of --checklist (report by Isaac Good).
604	+ several improvements to configure script macros:  CF_ADD_CFLAGS
605	  CF_CURSES_FUNCS CF_DISABLE_ECHO CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES CF_MATH_LIB
606	  CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE CF_REMOVE_DEFINE CF_WITH_LIBTOOL CF_XOPEN_SOURCE
607	+ add is.po, lv.po, sw.po from
608		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
609	+ update de.po, id.po, pl.po, pt_BR.po, vi.po from
610		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
611
6122009/02/22
613	+ do not display top-arrows for scrolling if they would overwrite the
614	  title (report by slakmagik)
615	+ consistently use dlg_button_layout() when autosizing widgets (report
616	  by slakmagik).
617	+ add "-" and "+" bindings to timebox widget.
618	+ add "-" and "+" bindings to calendar widget (OpenSolaris #6739031).
619	+ review/fix other widgets to ensure that they exit on error, e.g.,
620	  editbox.c
621	+ modify check in dlg_getc() to treat closure of either stdin or stdout
622	  as an error, rather than both.  This is more stringent than the check
623	  added in 2007/07/04.
624	+ modify dlg_result_key() to map curses ERR to dialog's error exit
625	  (adapted from patch by Domagoj Pensa).
626	+ updated several configure script macros:
627	  + consistently append, rather then prepend, to $CFLAGS
628	  + add cases for AIX 6, mint, and dragonfly to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE
629	  + use $PATH_SEPARATOR rather than $PATHSEP
630	  + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE, use in checks for more libraries, e.g.,
631	    libutf8 and libiconv.
632	+ update da.po, ru.po from
633		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
634	+ update config.guess, config.sub
635
6362008/08/19
637	+ amend changes to quoting; by default, the checklist widget quotes its
638	  output except when --separate-output is used (Debian #495600).
639	+ add eo.po from
640		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
641
6422008/07/27
643	+ add pointer-check when closing piped input (cf: 2007/03/25)
644	+ use here-documents rather than echo, when passing backslashes in
645	  strings, to accommodate the Debian shell "dash" (Debian #489563).
646	+ recode several ".po" files to UTF-8 for consistency.
647	+ change --separator to be an alias for --output-separator, for
648	  compatibility with Xdialog.
649	+ add --output-separator option to allow scripts to change the output
650	  separator from a newline (for --separate-output) or a space.  This
651	  applies to other widgets such as forms and editboxes which normally
652	  use a newline.
653	+ add --column-separator option, to tell where column-aligned data for
654	  radio/checkboxes or menus should be split into columns (request by
655	  Ben Dibbens).
656	+ add id.po, ku.po, lt.po, nb.po and update ca.po, fr.po, gl.po, ja.po,
657	  th.po from
658		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
659	+ add "--quoted" option, to quote values returned by formbox, etc.
660	+ change names of EX/ES macros in dialog.1 to work around name-
661	  pollution caused by changes in Debian #470729.
662
6632008/03/16
664	+ modify dlg_mouse_wgetch() to loop only on errors that it detects,
665	  rather than on errors forwarded from dlg_getc(), in case those are
666	  due to a disconnected terminal (report by Anatoli Sakhnik).
667	+ allow "default" color in dialogrc file (request by Dashing).
668	+ fix an indexing error in formbox (Debian #469190, report by Dmitry
669	  Gomerman, patch by Vladimir Mezentsev).
670	+ add bindings for CTL/N, CTL/P to checklist, fselect and menubox
671	  widgets (prompted by discussion with John Gatewood Ham).
672	+ add be@latin.po, th.po and update zh_TW.po from
673		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
674	> patches by Peter Astrand:
675	  + modify dlg_auto_sizefile() to ensure the computed height and width
676	    do not extend beyond the screen size.
677	  + use unctrl() to make inputstr.c work with Solaris curses.
678	> patches by Yura Kalinichenko:
679	  + extend pause widget to use ok/cancel buttons (the former giving the
680	    same result as a timeout), rather than an exit-button.
681	  + fix initialization parameter of inputbox for multibyte characters.
682
6832007/10/28
684	+ improve layout of checklist.c, menubox.c, ensuring that the list fits
685	  within the available space (report by Gordon Schumacher).
686	+ undo removal of redundant chunk from checklist.c in 2007/02/27,
687	  since some scripts depend on this (Debian #443077).
688	+ update nl.po from
689		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
690
6912007/09/30
692	+ correct cursor position in editbox after deleting past left margin
693	  (report by Joe McDonagh).
694	+ add "--no-ok" option (patch by Klaus Knopper).
695	+ modify "--file" option to allow it to read from sources other than
696	  a regular file (patch by Pieter van Beek).
697	+ improved hi.po (Hindi) (from Klaus Knopper).
698	+ fix masking of attributes in dlg_draw_shadow() which lost
699	  line-drawing bit (report by David Everly).
700	+ fix editbox widget to handle zero-length files (report by Joe
701	  McDonagh).
702	+ update "po" files eu.po ga.po it.po ms.po sv.po vi.po wa.po zh_CN.po
703	  from
704		http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
705
7062007/07/04
707	+ revise the resizable shadows so textbox's search dialog has text
708	  visible in the shadow again.
709	+ improve the prefixing of autoconf-related symbols in the installed
710	  header files, taking into account symbols which are not mentioned in
711	  dlg_config.h
712	+ add a check when ERR returned from wgetch() to ensure that the
713	  input/output streams are still valid.  If that happens, force
714	  ESC to be returned, quitting dialog (report by Reiner Huober).
715	+ add extern "C" declarations to dlg_keys.h so the corresponding
716	  function declarations are exported to C++ as C symbols.
717	+ update config.guess, config.sub
718
7192007/06/04
720	+ fix a memory leak in editbox.c
721	+ revise change from 2007/02/27 which moved the logic for trimming
722	  option text out of the loop because that moved it before
723	  initialization of the "--trim" option.  Put it back in the loop, but
724	  limit the tokens which are trimmed to cover only those for the
725	  current widget.  Also ensure that all tokens for a widget are
726	  trimmed, rather than only the first, which is usually text (report by
727	  Lai Zit Seng).
728	+ add _FILE_OFFSET_BITS definition in CF_LARGEFILE configure macro.
729
7302007/05/28
731	+ revise changes needed to make textbox's searchbox handle ncurses
732	  resizing events, e.g., by handling the ERR in that code rather than
733	  in dlg_getc() (Debian #423732).
734
7352007/05/14
736	+ supply a repaint_text() call in tailbox.c which was bypassed because
737	  dlg_getc() now retries on ERR (Debian #423732, cf: 2007/02/27).
738	+ modify dlg_getc() to fix regression in 2007/02/27 for use of
739	  timeouts, broken by fixes to allow resizing of textbox (patch by
740	  Arnaud Fontaine, Debian #418905).
741	+ modify dlg_getc() to fix regression in use of TAB for traversal of
742	  tailboxbg widgets due to changes for user-definable key bindings
743	  (Debian #418917, cf:  2005/12/07).
744
7452007/04/09
746	+ add case in dlg_getc() to handle tab for traversing between widgets
747	  as in the samples/tailboxbg1 script.  Normally the key binding
748	  overrides, except for the special case where multiple widgets are
749	  available.
750	+ add configure --with-libtool-opts, which passes its value to the
751	  library creation and linkage passes, e.g.,
752	  	--with-libtool-opts=-static
753	  to force the result to be static libraries (prompted by a related
754	  request by Santiago Vila).
755	> several fixes based on Coverity scan:
756	+ fix memory leak in timebox, calendar widgets if the widget cannot
757	  be created.
758	+ fix memory leak in dlg_key.c if a user binding's storage cannot
759	  be allocated.
760	+ fix improperly delinked entry in dlg_del_window().
761
7622007/03/25
763	+ improve mkdirs.sh to ignore error from mkdir if the target directory
764	  happens to already exist (suggested by Harald van Dijk).
765	+ amend documentation for --gauge to reflect longstanding quirk which
766	  allows it to read percentage from the first line after an "XXX"
767	  (Debian #415596).
768	+ fix makefile dependency so "configure && make install-lib" works.
769	+ fix resizing of msgbox; the message was not repainted (Debian
770	  #415022, patch by Brian Rolfe).
771	+ fix typo in makefile LIB_OBJECT symbol from 2007/02/27 changes.
772	+ improve CF_MBSTATE_T by including stdio.h, needed on Tru64 to make
773	  the test-compile work.
774	+ change makefile to install dialog.3 as part of install-lib rather
775	  than install-man (report by Thomas Klausner).
776	+ use $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) for installing dialog-config (report by
777	  Santiago Vila).
778
7792007/02/27 - release 1.1
780	+ mark as "dialog 1.1"
781	+ add dialog-config script, which provides applications with compile-
782	  and link-information for using the dialog library.
783	+ move calls to dlg_trim_string() out of loop in dialog.c, so each
784	  string is trimmed once (report by Ivanov Makcim).
785	+ modify textbox.c to allow resizing while the search box is presented.
786	  This relies on bug-fix in ncurses 5.6 20070224.
787	+ use dgettext() rather than gettext() to allow libdialog to use the
788	  messages installed for dialog (patch by Vajna Miklos).
789	+ modify inputbox to position the cursor initially at the end of any
790	  initial-text (request by Klaus Knopper).
791	+ add configure --with-valgrind for testing.
792	+ add --trace option, for debugging.
793	+ add --ascii-lines and --no-lines options to control the way the
794	  line-drawing characters are rendered (request by Klaus Knopper).
795	+ add --keep-tite option, to override suppression of smcup/rmcup
796	  (termcap ti/te) strings which would switch to xterm's alternate
797	  screen (Debian #380665).
798	+ modify fselect/dselect to use space-character as a completion
799	  operator like tab in shells (patch by Yoram Bar Haim).
800	+ remove a redundant chunk from checklist.c which reported status a
801	  second time if the help-button was pressed but no item-help option
802	  was in effect (Andre C Barros).
803	+ fix return-status from "dialog --pause" (Debian #409254).
804	+ add --mixedform and --mixedgauge dialogs based on patch from
805	  Kiran Cherupally.
806	+ add some notes on compatibility to the manpage.
807	+ add editbox dialog (compatible with Xdialog, Debian #368478).
808	+ add dselect dialog (compatible with Xdialog).
809	+ remove an incorrect initialization of .text_flen from 2005/12/07
810	  changes, which made all fields in a form editable (Debian #404045).
811	+ report error and exit if a filename given for the --file option
812	  cannot be opened (report by "Dog Walker").
813	+ make --program-prefix, etc., work in configure script, e.g., to make
814	  program install as "cdialog".  This does not alter the library name.
815	+ add install-bin, install-man (and uninstall) rules to makefile.
816	+ updates for configure script macros (originally vile, lynx, xterm):
817	  AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST, AM_WITH_NLS, CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS,
818	  CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_INCLUDE_DIRS, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_MAKEFLAGS,
819	  CF_PATH_SYNTAX, CF_SUBDIR_PATH, CF_SUBST, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC,
820	  CF_WITH_DMALLOC, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE.
821	+ update config.guess, config.sub
822	> adapted fixes from SuSE package (Werner Fink):
823	  + add some limit-checks in dlg_draw_shadow().
824	  + make shadows resizable, using new dlg_move_window() in msgbox.c
825	    and yesno.c
826	  + add dialog_state.input, use this in end_dialog() to decide whether
827	    to close pipe inputs and call _exit(), or simply call exit().
828	  + modify dlg_ctl_size() to check if the reason for failure is because
829	    shadows were used; retry in that case without shadows.
830	  + add signal catcher for SIGSEGV.
831
8322006/02/21
833	+ fix logic in split-out dlg_menu() to separate inputmenu and menu
834	  handling (report by Auke Kok).
835
8362006/01/26
837	+ fix fselect.c to compile properly with Intel compiler and largefile
838	  option.
839	+ improve configure script checks for curses headers to work around
840	  breakage in some packages, e.g., cygwin.
841	+ amend correction to menubox, fixes normal menus (Debian #349969).
842
8432006/01/19
844	+ completed dialog.3 manpage
845	+ modify configure script option --with-gauge to cover all flavors of
846	  the gauge (gauge, pause, progressbox).
847	+ add progressbox widget, a hybrid of gauge and tailbox (Reznic Valery).
848	+ fix a comparison in checklist.c to avoid unneeded arrows when the
849	  list happens to fit in the window (patch by Peter Postma).
850	+ correct wrapping computation in print_line() from 2005/11/07 changes
851	  (report by Barry Kauler).
852	+ update sv.po (comments only).
853		http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
854	+ correct logic that passes the callback for menubox to do inputmenu
855	  operations from 2005/12/7 changes (report by Reznic Valery).
856
8572006/01/01
858	+ add a null-pointer check in dlg_register_buttons(), needed for the
859	  tailboxbg (Debian #345524).
860	+ fix a few memory leaks reported by valgrind.
861
8622005/12/19
863	+ correct return-values of new functions dlg_default_listitem() and
864	  dlg_default_formitem() (Debian #344002).
865	+ add Swedish translation (Debian #343303, by Daniel Nylander)
866	+ begin function-summaries in dialog.3
867	+ update config.guess, config.sub
868
8692005/12/07
870	+ change license to LGPL.
871	+ change naming convention in dlg_colors.h to make it easier to read,
872	  and incidentally remove the last chunk of code preventing relicense.
873	+ add --passwordform (request by Reznic Valery).
874	+ modify pause.c, msgbox.c to work with --help-button.
875	+ modify formbox.c, inputbox.c, textbox.c, yesno.c to work with extra
876	  button (adapted from Reznic Valery patch).
877	+ modify dlg_exit_label(), dlg_yes_labels() and dlg_ok_label() to allow
878	  help-button (prompted by Reznic Valery patch).
879	+ add zh_CN.po file from
880		http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
881	+ provide alternate interfaces for dialog_checklist(), dialog_menu()
882	  and dialog_form():  dlg_checklist(), dlg_menu() and dlg_form()
883	  (discussion with Michael Gebetsroither).
884	+ add/use dlg_result_key() to allow binding function keys to the
885	  buttons.
886	+ implement user-definable key bindings in the rc-file.
887	+ modify inline cases for KEY_xxx values to use binding tables in new
888	  module dlg_keys.c
889	+ add several DIALOG_STATE items to the rc file:  aspect,
890	  separate_widget, tab_len and visit_links
891	+ add a tab-adjustment to dlg_print_text() to improve solution from
892	  2005/10/30, e.g., in the samples/form* scripts.
893	+ fix an off-by-one which made mouse-selection not work for menu items
894	  past the first page (GenToo #112024, patch by Harald van Dijk).
895
8962005/11/07
897	+ extend dlg_add_result() to allow caller to pass a null pointer
898	  for dialog_vars.input_result (Debian #336986).
899	+ correct length used for text portion of radio/checkboxes (report by
900	  Valentin Stoykov).
901	+ modify msgbox, textbox and center_label() to work properly for
902	  LANG=bg_BG.utf8 examples by Valentin Stoykov.
903	+ modify use of freopen() to work with opaque FILE type on DragonFly
904	  (report by Jeremy C Reed).
905	+ modify print_line() to compute columns, use that for the call to
906	  dlg_print_line().  Fix a few places where strlen() was used instead
907	  of dlg_count_columns() (reports by Valentin Stoykov).
908
9092005/10/30
910	+ reviewed changes since beginning development in 1999, decided that
911	  there are no appreciable portions of original code remaining.
912	  Marked sources to correspond.
913	+ improve cache performance for inputstr.c using tsearch() rather than
914	  a linked-list search (Debian #294853).
915	+ remove a special case for darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
916	+ add ms.po file from
917		http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
918	+ remove an assignment that caused the cursor to appear initially on a
919	  form field rather than button (Debian #333506).
920	+ modify buttons.c to count columns rather than bytes, fixing case
921	  where buttons were laid out incorrectly (report by Valentin Stoykov).
922	+ change dlg_print_text() to count columns rather than bytes, fixing
923	  case where fewer columns were displayed in menu than expected
924	  (report by Valentin Stoykov).
925
9262005/10/05
927	+ improve fix for dlg_does_output(), eliminating redundant leading
928	  separator.
929	+ fill background color for item-help text (report by Peter Postma).
930	+ correct interaction between --separate-output and --output-separator
931	  broken in 2005/09/11 fix for Debian #326918 (Debian #331440).
932	+ update config.guess, config.sub
933
9342005/09/11
935	+ undo doubled adjustment for left/right margins when wrapping text
936	  for msgbox, gauge and pause (report by Xyba).
937	+ correct position of scrolled text in formbox broken by 2004/12/19
938	  changes (report by Konrad Jelen).
939	+ call dlg_does_output() from dlg_add_result(), ensuring that
940	  separators are used when combining widgets such as formbox (report by
941	  John Suykerbuyk).
942	+ fix marker in textbox.c to make it disappear at the top of the file
943	  (report by Patrick J. Volkerding).
944	+ fix marker shown in arrows.c for checklists, etc., which was "(+)"
945	  where it should have been "(-)" (report/patch by Patrick J.
946	  Volkerding).
947	+ fix --input-fd (changes in glibc since 2003 made dialog hang on exit
948	  due to the way dialog updated stdin).
949	+ restore default value (a tab) for --separator or --separate-widget
950	  lost in 2003/11/26 changes (Debian #326918).
951	+ make several widgets handle SIGWINCH (calendar, checklist, formbox,
952	  fselect, inputbox, menubox, pause, tailbox, textbox, timebox).  Only
953	  msgbox and yesno had been done before.  Note that some still have
954	  fixed geometry requirements, so they cannot be shrunk below a given
955	  threshold.  Also, these changes do not address traversal, e.g., for
956	  tailboxbg.
957	+ make gauge widget handle SIGWINCH with ncurses (Debian #305705).
958	+ add configure option to control whether largefile support is
959	  compiled-in (Debian #298882).
960	+ update eu.po (Debian #312622, patch by Piarres Egana).
961	+ add/update po files from
962		http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
963	  fi.po, rw.po, sr.po, tr.po, zh_TW.po
964	+ fixes for configure script:
965	  + improve script for determining gcc version
966	  + improve checks for Intel compiler and related warning options
967	  + improve checks for defining _XOPEN_SOURCE (or alternatives) and
968	    _POSIX_C_SOURCE
969	+ update config.guess, config.sub
970
9712005/03/06
972	+ add/update po files from
973		http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
974	  ga.po, it.po
975	+ revert last change for da.po; it was from an older version (report by
976	  Morten Brix Pedersen).
977
9782005/02/06
979	+ modify makefile.in so --disable-echo applies to libtool builds.
980	+ corrected malloc size used for editable fields in formbox widget to
981	  match the function which updates the corresponding buffer.
982	+ modify formbox widget's use of flen to allow negative values to be
983	  used to limit the length of the displayed field.
984	+ improve description in manpage of output from formbox widget
985	  (Debian #292418).
986	+ modify formbox widget to allow fields with flen==0 to display
987	  (Debian #292417).
988	+ improved configure macros CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, to
989	  avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
990	+ fix a typo in inputmenu-stdout found via "sh -n" (report by Steve
991	  Grubb).
992	+ add/update po files from
993		http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
994	  ca.po, da.po, hu.po, nl.po, rm.po, ro.po, vi.po
995
9962005/01/16
997	+ add --args option to help with debugging scripts.
998	+ adapted some new po files from Debian package for whiptail:  ar.po,
999	  bg.po, gl.po, hi.po, hr.po, mg.po, mk.po, ro.po, sq.po and zh_TW.po
1000	+ update da.po (Morten Brix Pedersen).
1001	+ add configure check for Intel 8.0 compiler, to set appropriate
1002	  warning options.
1003	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1004
10052004/12/22
1006	+ correct a typo in 2004/12/19 changes which caused width of multibyte
1007	  characters to be incorrectly computed in some locales.
1008	+ modify --version and --help options to write consistently to the
1009	  standard output (report by Santiago Vila).
1010	+ modify tailboxbg by resetting tty modes at the point where it forks a
1011	  process to update the screen, rather than waiting until that process
1012	  exits.  This improves user feedback by making it apparent that dialog
1013	  is no longer processing input after that point (Redhat #142538).
1014	+ minor updates to some .po files using Babel Fish, comparing with lynx.
1015	+ update es.po (Santiago Vila).
1016	+ work around bug in NetBSD 1.6 curses which seems to be confused by
1017	  reusing color pairs with different video attributes.  The problem
1018	  does not appear in NetBSD 2.0 curses (but its headers do not provide
1019	  version info, so color-caching is not available for that
1020	  configuration).
1021	+ modify pause and gauge widgets to ensure that reverse-video progress
1022	  bar is visible when the background is reversed, e.g., using the
1023	  default non-color attributes.
1024	+ use chtype rather than attr_t, to build with old Solaris curses,
1025	  used in save/restore operation from 2004/09/20.
1026
10272004/12/19
1028	+ add pause-widget (patch by Yura Kalinichenko).
1029	+ modify exit-code returned on selecting the "Help"-button when the
1030	  --item-help option is given.  Previously this returned the same code
1031	  as "OK", since it combines output for "OK" with the help status.  It
1032	  now returns the help-code, but this can be overridden by setting the
1033	  environment variable $DIALOG_ITEM_HELP (reports by Erika Pacholleck
1034	  and Sebastian Muesch).
1035	+ modify formbox widget so input-length is not limited to field-length
1036	  (report by David Liebermann).
1037	+ localize the label on the search box for textbox widget (report by
1038	  Erika Pacholleck).
1039	+ correct usage message detail for fselect, which listed an extra
1040	  parameter (Debian #284008).
1041	+ add include for <sys/select.h> in ui_getc.c to build with QNX 4.25
1042	  using Watcom 10.6 (patch by Len Meakin).
1043	+ modify behavior when no locale (or POSIX locale) is set to allow
1044	  legacy interpretation of Latin-1 character set (Debian #284795).
1045
10462004/11/18
1047	+ correct computation of column width for menubox/checkbox tags, for
1048	  multicolumn characters, e.g., the menubox-utf8 example.
1049	+ correct calls to wbkgdset(), which set the background attribute but
1050	  not the corresponding character (ncurses uses blank if none is given).
1051	+ improve configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE.
1052	+ improved limit-computation in show_message() to allow for scrolling
1053	  very long messages.
1054	+ adjust scrolling logic in msgbox to account for the one-line offset
1055	  used by the logic which wraps text in a box, thus avoiding leaving
1056	  an extra blank line (report by Maxim Sobolev).
1057
10582004/09/20
1059	+ add samples/whiptail.rc
1060	+ add samples/dialog.py (noting that a later version of this exists
1061	  as pythondialog, but this is relatively self-contained).  Modified
1062	  the script to accept the $DIALOG environment variable like the other
1063	  sample scripts, to specify the path of the program to use.
1064	+ modify the install rule for header-files so the autoconf names in
1065	  dlg_config.h (and corresponding usage in dialog.h, etc), are altered
1066	  from "HAVE_xxx" to "DLG_HAVE_xxx", etc.
1067	+ add a check for getenv("HOME") in rc.c
1068	+ add a call to end_dialog() in signal_handler for tailboxbg (from
1069	  patch by Werner Fink).
1070	+ correct initialization in checklist and radiobox for --default-item,
1071	  scrolling as needed.
1072	+ modify --visit-items option so that it puts the cursor initially on
1073	  the list (in menubox, checklist and radiobox), accepts abbreviations
1074	  for the buttons when the cursor is on the button-row, and otherwise
1075	  (when --visit-items is given) abbreviations apply only to the list
1076	  (report by Erika Pacholleck).
1077	+ modify a few widgets (inputbox, textbox, yesno) to beep on unexpected
1078	  input.
1079	+ modify some msgbox widget to accept abbreviations of its button
1080	  label, for consistency with other widgets (request by Erika
1081	  Pacholleck).
1082	+ corrected logic of dlg_char_to_button(), making it check only the
1083	  first uppercase letter in each button label rather than all uppercase
1084	  letters (report by Erika Pacholleck, cf: 2003/09/10).
1085	+ improved description of --clear and --keep-window options (adapted
1086	  from Erika Pacholleck).
1087	+ move discussion of --beep and --beep-signal options to Obsolete
1088	  Options section of manpage, remove these from the help-message
1089	  (report by Erika Pacholleck).
1090	+ bracket extern's in dialog.h with C++ extern "C" declaration, in case
1091	  the library is used from a C++ application.
1092	+ modify inputmenu examples to allow ESC to cancel the script.
1093	+ modify inputmenu widget to cancel edit on a TAB or ESC.
1094	+ modify inputmenu widget to use the same color scheme for the editable
1095	  text as the inputbox widget.
1096	+ modify samples/killall to work around differences in "cut" versions.
1097	+ use the color-caching from the \Z logic when loading the ".rc" file,
1098	  thereby reducing the number of color pairs required, and making it
1099	  less likely that deriving color pairs for drawing arrows on a given
1100	  background will run out of colors.
1101	+ save/restore window attributes in dlg_draw_arrows() and similar
1102	  functions, to allow widgets to draw arrows using the widget's
1103	  background rather than a common/fixed value (request by Erika
1104	  Pacholleck).
1105	+ modify textbox widget so the down-arrow will be hidden when at the
1106	  end of the file.  (Modifying the up-arrow to be hidden is harder -
1107	  will do this when implementing scrollbars).
1108	+ correct off-by-one in fselect.c which left down-arrows showing at
1109	  the bottom of directory- and file-lists (report by Erika Pacholleck).
1110	+ improve display of percentages by omitting blanks where lines should
1111	  be shown.
1112	+ modify logic for \Z escapes to make those that set video attributes
1113	  not clear the colors (report by Erika Pacholleck).
1114	+ modify logic for \Z escapes to allow foreground and background
1115	  colors to be the same, provided that bold attribute is set.
1116	  Also improved the logic for choosing a background color when the
1117	  foreground and background are the same (report by Erika Pacholleck).
1118	+ updated configure script macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, ensuring that the
1119	  _POSIX_C_SOURCE value is defined with a specific value (bug report
1120	  originally for lynx).
1121	+ fix configure script so that po/makefile is generated properly when
1122	  the configure --srcdir --enable-nls options are used.
1123	+ modify makefile.in to allow build/install from another directory,
1124	  i.e., using configure --srcdir (patch by Mike Castle).
1125	+ updated da.po (Debian #262587, Morten Brix Pedersen).
1126	+ modify some sample scripts to avoid using grave quotes nested within
1127	  double quotes with multiple file redirection, which does not work
1128	  with Solaris /bin/sh (report/analysis by Eric Haller).
1129	+ check for end of string immediately after a \Z escape to avoid
1130	  displaying the null terminator as a ^@ (report by Erika Pacholleck).
1131	> patches by Erika Pacholleck:
1132	+ modify calendar.c, fselect.c and timebox.c to use color scheme like
1133	  other lists, using menubox colors rather than dialog colors.
1134	+ correct charset for po/de.po, translate messages for "Help" and
1135	  "Rename".
1136	+ omit parentheses around percentage in textbox.c
1137	+ correct a few mismatched attributes, e.g., searchbox_attr in textbox.c,
1138	  percentage in msgbox.c,
1139
1140
11412004/07/31
1142	+ add test scripts to cover zero-width column case.
1143	+ remove limit checks from checklist.c and menubox.c (cf: 2004/07/28),
1144	  since some scripts use zero-width columns (Debian #262411 and report
1145	  by Kyle Sallee).
1146
11472004/07/29
1148	+ modify msgbox.c to only reserve space for percentage shown as part
1149	  of scrollable text for the msgbox widget.  This makes infobox look
1150	  as it did before 2004/06/06 changes (report by Vinesh Christopher)
1151
11522004/07/28
1153	+ remove redundant calls to wtimeout() from widgets since wtimeout()
1154	  is properly called from ui_getc() where it is controlled by the
1155	  --timeout option (bug report by juanjo).
1156	+ add limit checks in checklist.c and menubox.c for very narrow screens
1157	  (prompted by Steve Grubb patch).
1158	+ initialize step in dlg_draw_buttons() in case it is used to draw
1159	  a vertical list of buttons (prompted by Steve Grubb patch).
1160	> fixes by Steve Grubb:
1161	+ correct logic in checklist.c (cf: 2003/11/26 changes) which turned
1162	  quoting on unnecessarily for radiobox, breaking some old scripts.
1163	+ increase size of array in dlg_ok_labels() to avoid overrun if extra
1164	  and help buttons are used (cf: 2002/06/12 changes).
1165	+ initialize fkey variable in menubox.c and textbox.c (cf: 2003/07/12).
1166
11672004/07/21 - release 1.0
1168	+ minor updates for configure script, i.e., CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
1169	  CF_NCURSES_LIBS macros.
1170	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1171	+ add nl.po (Jacques Weewer).
1172
11732004/06/06
1174	+ add --visit-items option, which allows the user to tab to the item
1175	  list in the checklist/radiobox and menubox widgets (request by
1176	  Ari Moisio).
1177	+ use wide-character line-drawing for up/down arrows when configured
1178	  for wide-characters, gives better results with uxterm.
1179	+ limit the number of times a --file option can be used, to prevent
1180	  runaway recursion if a --file option is embedded within a file which
1181	  is included.
1182	+ improve discussion of wrapping in the manpage (Debian #251937).
1183	+ modify msgbox to allow it to scroll vertically like textbox (Debian
1184	  #233276).  This only works with ncurses.
1185	+ implement $DIALOGVARS environment variable to apply common options to
1186	  dialog_vars when it is reset before processing other common options.
1187	+ add --single-quoted option to control whether output is double-quoted
1188	  with '"' or single-quoted with single-quotes.
1189	+ revert the default quoting behavior of checklists to use
1190	  double-quotes (report by Mark K Post regarding Slackware scripts).
1191	+ add eu.po (Basque) (Piarres Beobide Egaa).
1192	+ add ca.po (Catalan) (Jordi Mallach).
1193
11942004/04/21
1195	+ add a call to flushinp() to init_dialog(), to discard any typeahead
1196	  before dialog is invoked (Debian #244746).
1197	+ correct dlg_match_char() function, which was broken during rewrite
1198	  to support wide-characters (Debian #244777).
1199	+ improved ru.po, uses UTF-8 charset (Leonid Kanter, Redhat #119200).
1200	+ correct position of shadow drawn for dialogs, which appeared to work
1201	  for most versions of curses (other than NetBSD) but would have been
1202	  visible for certain color schemes (discussion with Julian Coleman).
1203	+ correct loop-exit in longest_word() (Tomas Heredia, forwarded by
1204	  Santiago Vila).
1205	+ add cy.po (Welsh) (Dafydd Harries).
1206
12072004/03/16
1208	+ modify quoting of results to use single-quote rather than double
1209	  quote, and ensure that results containing a quote or backslash
1210	  character are escaped (report by Florent Rougon)
1211	+ remove an incorrect comparison from checklist which made cursor
1212	  stick on the last line, from 2004/03/01 changes.
1213
12142004/03/14
1215	+ add a dependency to install library if "--with-libtool" is used.
1216	+ add manpage for the library.
1217	+ add "--file"
1218	+ modify formbox.c to support "--help-status" like menubox.
1219	+ modify checklist.c to add item name to the "HELP" string when
1220	  "--help-button" is used and no --item-help option is given (Debian
1221	  #236841, report/patch by Jorg Sommer).
1222	+ rename colors.h to dlg_colors.h, install that when the library is
1223	  installed.
1224	+ add copyright notice to usage ("--help") message.
1225	+ correct a missing bounds check for mouse-clicks in menubox (prompted
1226	  by Debian #233044).
1227	+ updated several configure-script macros:  AM_GNU_GETTEXT,
1228	  AM_WITH_NLS, CF_OUR_MESSAGES, CF_PROG_EXT, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC,
1229	  CF_WITH_DMALLOC, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE.
1230
12312004/03/01
1232	+ improve layout of calendar widget to allow for very long button
1233	  labels (report by Santiago Vila).
1234	+ correct logic for $DIALOG_TTY, broken in 2003/11/30.  The environment
1235	  variable must evaluate to a nonzero integer (report by Florent
1236	  Rougon).
1237	+ document interaction between "--default-no" and "--no-cancel" options
1238	  in manpage (Debian #223488).
1239	+ change configure script to use autoconf 2.52+patch, to work around
1240	  issues with Estonian locale (report by Seemant Kulleen).
1241	+ add uk.po (Ukrainian) (Debian #232441).
1242	+ make --default-item apply to checklist widget (Debian #225255).
1243	+ correct a missing check for --item-help when --help-status was given
1244	  for checklist (Debian #232921).
1245	+ correct a missing bounds check for mouse-clicks in checklist (Debian
1246	  #233044).
1247	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1248
12492003/12/07
1250	+ correct infinite loop in yesno widget when "--defaultno" option is
1251	  combined with "--no-cancel" (Debian #223077).
1252
12532003/11/30
1254	+ suppress double-quotes added for "--help-status" option if the
1255	  string does not contain any special characters.
1256
12572003/11/26
1258	+ add samples/sourcemage.rc, for comparison with slackware.rc
1259	+ add "--insecure" option (request by Sean Mathews (DrWho@f34r.com)).
1260	+ make "--defaultno" option apply to widgets which use OK/Cancel
1261	  buttons as well (Debian #209030).
1262	+ improve documentation of exit-codes for each widget in the manpage
1263	  (Debian #217926).
1264	+ add option "--keep-window" to suppress repainting after completing
1265	  each widget (request by Ingo van Lil).
1266	+ add options "--yes-label" and "--no-label" to allow override of the
1267	  "Yes" and "No" strings (request by Christoph Zwerschke).
1268	+ add option "--help-status" to allow script to restore a checklist
1269	  or radiolist after processing an item-help string (Debian #209031).
1270	+ modify width-calculation for non-formatted text to ensure it is
1271	  wide enough for the longest word in the text (patch by Andrew Gaul).
1272	+ modify dlg_index_columns() to count a newline as a single cell rather
1273	  than 2 for the normal curses case.  This fixes an off-by-one for
1274	  the text-justification, shown in screen 2 of msgbox1 sample script.
1275	+ fix dlg_char_to_button(); 2003/09/10 changes made it incorrectly
1276	  ignore case of the labels.
1277	+ change calendar's use of arrow keys so they are (as before 2002/06/22)
1278	  interpreted within the day-grid as movement within that grid (request
1279	  by David Anders).
1280	+ correct missing initialization of last_getc variable in dlg_getc()
1281	  (report/analysis by Victor Wodecki).
1282	+ modify main program to make
1283		dialog --no-shadow --print-maxsize
1284	  work.  Normally dialog prints the screen size after subtracting the
1285	  area reserved for shadows, but some applications may need the actual
1286	  screen size (Debian #213424).
1287	+ several related changes (Debian #213425):
1288	  + separate the examples using "--stdout" and "--output-fd" from the
1289	    normal usage examples.
1290	  + add "--input-fd" option, provide a sample of its use.
1291	  + modify init_dialog() to use initscr() unless a "--stdout" option
1292	    was used.  Some scripts relied on the coincidence that redirecting
1293	    standard output from dialog would "work".  Before this change
1294	    init_dialog() assumed that redirected standard output was
1295	    synonymous with "--stdout" option (not the intended behavior).
1296	  + modify command-line parsing to look for "--stdout" and "--stderr"
1297	    options first, allowing only one.
1298	  + add a check for an environment variable $DIALOG_TTY which provides
1299	    the older behavior, i.e., try to open the terminal directly if
1300	    stdout is redirected.
1301	+ interface changes, to make libdialog simpler to use:
1302	  + rename all of the internal functions to begin with "dlg_", but
1303	    provide compatibility with older names if the application defines
1304	    __DIALOG_OLD_NAMES__.
1305	  + add dialog_version() function, and corresponding DIALOG_VERSION and
1306	    DIALOG_PATCHDATE definitions to dlg_config.h
1307	  + eliminate remaining global variables such as screen_initialized in
1308	    favor of dialog_state and dialog_vars.
1309	  + move some data such as dialog_vars.output to dialog_state, since
1310	    they are normally not reset between widgets.
1311	  + change interfaces of dialog_yesno() and dialog_checklist() to use
1312	    dialog_state.defaultno and dialog_vars.separate_output, making it
1313	    simpler and more consistent.
1314	+ improve configure script and related definitions:
1315	  + add "--with-libtool" option to provide shared library support by
1316	    libtool.
1317	  + rename generated "config.h" to "dlg_config.h", so it can be
1318	    installed without naming conflict.  Added "dlg_config.h" to
1319	    install-lib rule.
1320	  + modify configure script and makefile to use EXEEXT and OBJEXT.
1321	  + add "--enable-widec" option to control whether wide-curses features
1322	    are compiled-in, rather than check for the existence of those in
1323	    the curses library.  This allows building with HPUX curses, which
1324	    has abandoned legacy features while not quite supporting X/Open
1325	    curses.
1326	  + add configure check for getbegx(), etc., which are not provided on
1327	    all platforms.
1328	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1329
13302003/10/02
1331	+ update hu.po (Arpad Biro).
1332	+ revert part of the 2003/08/18 change to "--stdout" option.  Using
1333	  stderr for screen output does not work well on several platforms
1334	  since stdout's settings are affected (report by Kent Robotti).
1335
13362003/09/24
1337	+ modify tailbox to allow it to display files with arbitrarily long
1338	  lines.
1339	+ fix an infinite loop in tailbox, broken when making interface changes
1340	  to dlg_getc() (report by Ingo van Lil).
1341	+ amend fix for "--and-widget" to not treat "---" as an option (report
1342	  by Kent Robotti).
1343	+ updated es.po (Santiago Vila).
1344
13452003/09/10
1346	+ correct "RENAMED" result from inputmenu widget, which did not reset
1347	  the result buffer, and did not account for scroll-offset (Debian
1348	  #209336).
1349	+ modify button, menu and checklist logic that matches a character to
1350	  the beginning of a text field to support wide-characters (completes
1351	  Debian #195674).
1352	+ modify configure script to not use "head -1".
1353
13542003/08/30
1355	+ modify searchbox popup in textbox widget so one can simply press
1356	  return on an empty input to cancel the popup.
1357	+ modify error reporting to avoid clearing screen if a problem is
1358	  found in the ".rc" file.
1359	+ add color/attribute combinations for form widget (based on patch by
1360	  Reznic Valery).
1361	+ combine rc-file colors, attribute- and color-tables to obtain a
1362	  single table for color values, which requires less work to add new
1363	  entries.
1364	+ modify fselect widget to make back-tab work again, since it was
1365	  broken by the rewrite of dlg_edit_string().
1366	+ modify howmany_tags() so it will quit searching when it finds any
1367	  option, not only "--and-widget" (Debian #206636).
1368	+ correct call to dlg_print_text() in print_line(), which did not
1369	  account for hidden characters (report/patch by David Poole).
1370	+ modify print_button() to display properly if locale defines ok/cancel
1371	  or yes/no buttons that contain multibyte characters.
1372
13732003/08/20
1374	+ correct an indexing error when deleting from the end of a line using
1375	  KEY_DC; it happened to work on Linux because malloc() clears memory
1376	  like calloc().
1377	+ add '\r' to case statement where '\n' is translated to KEY_ENTER to
1378	  work around defect in NetBSD curses.
1379	+ modify configure check for getparyx(), etc., which are implemented
1380	  by NetBSD curses as functions rather than macros.
1381	+ correct configure check for term.h, which may be <ncursesw/term.h>
1382	  if ncursesw development headers are installed, but not ncurses
1383	  development headers.  Or they may not coincide (Debian #206287).
1384
13852003/08/18
1386	+ modify checklist.c and menubox.c to display tags properly if they
1387	  contain wide-characters.
1388	+ better solution for initializing curses when "--stdout" option is
1389	  used, e.g., use stderr for the output if it is a tty.  Also correct
1390	  the error handling, so dialog exits with an error if it cannot
1391	  find a way to do output (Debian #205509).
1392	+ modify sample scripts to use consistent definition of $DIALOG
1393	  (Debian #205508).
1394	+ add UTF-8 examples inputbox6-utf8, inputbox6-utf8 (from Tomohiro
1395	  Kubota, Debian #195674).
1396	+ modify print_line() to work with wide-characters, e.g., so it handles
1397	  wrapping for double-width characters.
1398	+ cache results from multibyte character indices, speeds up cursor
1399	  movement.
1400	+ modify form widget to support scrolling and mouse-selection.
1401	+ add form widget (based on patch by Reznic Valery).
1402	+ correct mouse-handling for inputmenu widget.
1403	+ corrections to menu.c: location of clearing operation, and height of
1404	  rows in code for older ncurses versions (patch by Reznic Valery).
1405	+ improve logic that compensates for xterm's alternate-screen by
1406	  cancelling the rmcup/smcup strings after the rmcup has been issued.
1407	  That ensures that dialog will not clear the screen on exit (report
1408	  by Javier Kohen).
1409	+ modify initialization between widgets to retain the values for the
1410	  --aspect, --separate-widget and --tab-len options.
1411	+ add --separator as an alias for --separate-widget (compatible with
1412	  Xdialog).
1413	+ correct handling of Xdialog's --icon and --wmclass options, whose
1414	  parameter was not ignored.
1415	+ correct logic for --separate-widget so its string is written before
1416	  each output, rather than only for --and-widget option (report by
1417	  Javier Kohen).
1418	+ improve limit-check in center_label() for buttons.c (report by Tor
1419	  Vidar Havstad).
1420	+ correct layout of --menu widget, which reduced display width due to
1421	  logic for --inputmenu being applied whether or not that configuration
1422	  was used (reports by Javier Kohen, Dimitar Zhekov and MAL
1423	  <mal@komcept.com>).  Fixes Debian #201215.
1424	+ modify gauge widget to support --begin option (Hans-Joachim Baader).
1425	+ updated pl.po (Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
1426	+ hide cursor while painting gauge.
1427	+ add auto-sizing logic to gauge widget (reports by Javier Kohen and
1428	  Robert Schubert).
1429
14302003/07/20
1431	+ rewrote inputstr.c, allowing it to enter and display wide-characters.
1432	  Some nonprinting characters such as control/B can be edited as well.
1433	+ modify timebox to allow user to type numbers into the fields.
1434	+ change interfaces of dlg_getc(), mouse_wgetch(), etc., to add
1435	  parameter that returns whether the result is really a function-key.
1436	  This is needed to work with wide-character curses.
1437	+ correct computation of week-number in calendar widget (report by
1438	  Heiner Lamann).
1439	+ updated configure script macros:
1440	  + suppress -Winline with gcc 3.3, since it is broken.
1441	  + fix caching bug in CF_UTF8_LIB
1442	  + improved script for CF_BUNDLED_INTL.
1443	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1444
14452003/03/08
1446	+ add null-pointer checks to some malloc calls which were overlooked.
1447	+ correct logic in dlg_add_result(), which did not copy content of
1448	  non-allocated buffer to the first allocation (report by Daniel
1449	  Dupont).
1450
14512003/03/02
1452	+ correct an uninitialized value in dlg_add_result() (Debian #182683).
1453
14542003/01/30
1455	+ corrected print_line(), which subtracted the margin twice from the
1456	  right-limit, making a string wrap unnecessarily (Debian #168823).
1457	+ correct initial limit-check for arrows in checklist.c, which used
1458	  the wrong variable, showing the bottom arrow when it should not
1459	  (Debian #168823).
1460	+ modify driver to always call show_result(), to simplify updates.
1461	+ fix several memory leaks, important if dialog is run with a large
1462	  number of widgets (report by albert.veli@telia.com forwarded by
1463	  Santiago Vila).
1464	+ check if the screen output is actually to the terminal before trying
1465	  to suppress xterm's alternate screen mode (see 2000/01/18) (report by
1466	  David Oliveira).
1467	+ use dialog_vars.input_result consistently to return the text which is
1468	  printed after a widget completes.  In many cases, dialog now
1469	  allocates enough space to hold the text, rather than use a fixed
1470	  buffer.  The checklist widget was writing directly to the output to
1471	  avoid limits of the fixed buffer.
1472	+ modify dialog.c to also write dialog_vars.input_result if the
1473	  Help-button was pressed (request by Amon Ott).
1474	+ add hu.po (Arpad Biro).
1475	+ update fr.po, pt.po, pt_BR.po to add strings for "Help" button (patch
1476	  by Frederic L W Meunier).
1477	+ fix off-by-one error in menu.c, checklist.c (reported by
1478	  Tomasz Wasiak 2002/09/15 and others:
1479	  Andrew Gaul 2002/11/12,
1480	  Tobias C Rittweiler 2002/11/19,
1481	  Arpad Biro 2003/01/21).
1482	+ updated configure script, improving checks for ncurses in various
1483	  locations, updated NLS script to match lynx.  Added --with-curses-dir
1484	  option.
1485	> Tobias C Rittweiler:
1486	+ make ifdef in mousewget.c consistent with usage in dialog.h
1487	+ use beep() rather than flash() in dlg_edit_string(), for consistency
1488	  with the other functions.
1489	+ change order of buttons so extra button falls between Ok/Cancel.
1490	+ fix so "dialog --print-maxsize" exits from curses.
1491	+ add --inputmenu option.
1492
14932002/08/14
1494	+ modify checklist.c and menubox.c to treat the extra button like the
1495	  "Ok" button by making dialog print the chosen items (request by
1496	  Tobias C Rittweiler).
1497	+ add examples checklist6 and menubox6 to illustrate the --colors
1498	  option.
1499	+ implement -colors option, which allows one to highlight words in the
1500	  titles and most text areas with color or video attributes (adapted
1501	  from patch by Tobias C Rittweiler).
1502	+ add examples inputbox4, inputbox5 to illustrate how to use the
1503	  --output-fd option, and how to use dialog without any temporary
1504	  file at all.
1505	+ add --output-fd option (Debian #153984).
1506	+ documented vi-style keys for calendar, textbox widgets in manpage.
1507
15082002/06/22
1509	+ improve mouse handling, e.g., for up/down scrolling in calendar,
1510	  checklist, etc.
1511	+ add --extra-button and --extra-label options (adapted from patch
1512	  by Tobias C Rittweiler).
1513	+ correct displayed cursor position in inputbox when returning to the
1514	  input area after traversing the buttons with tabs, etc.
1515	+ add left/right arrows for traversal in calendar and timebox dialogs.
1516	+ implement two new functions dlg_next_ok_buttonindex() and
1517	  dlg_prev_ok_buttonindex(), using these to hide details about the
1518	  traversal over buttons in several widgets.
1519	+ modify checklist.c and menubox.c to verify if both --help-button and
1520	  --item-help are specified before assuming that selecting the help
1521	  button should cause the "HELP {item-help}" message to be printed
1522	  (reported by Marcel Ritter).
1523	+ modify init_dialog() to work around HP's broken tty driver (report by
1524	  John Mudd).  Specifically, the problem is that when opening /dev/tty
1525	  directly (to support the --stdout option), the terminal does not
1526	  change to raw mode.  The workaround opens /dev/tty only as needed;
1527	  the --stdout option does not work on HPUX but otherwise dialog works.
1528	+ updated el.po (patch by kromJx <kromJx@crosswinds.net>).
1529
15302002/05/19 - release 0.9b
1531	+ add --no-collapse option to allow one to retain tabs and repeated
1532	  blanks in a message box (request by Roberto Simoni).
1533	+ use DLG_EXIT_ESC constant rather than -1's in several places.  This
1534	  has the effect of changing some exit-with-error cases to denote that
1535	  the exit was because ESC was pressed (patch by Diego Alvarez,
1536	  forward by Santiago Vila).
1537	+ bump package version to 0.9b (with patch-date, as usual).
1538	+ add --exit-label option (request by Roberto Simoni).
1539	+ updated de.po to correct translation for "Cancel" (from Michael
1540	  Piefel, Debian #146402).
1541	+ use definitions from autoconf macro AC_HEADER_TIME to ensure that
1542	  time() is properly prototyped.
1543	+ update pl.po, adding translation for "Help" (patch by Jaroslaw
1544	  Swierczynski <swiergot@hacking.pl>).
1545	+ update COPYING file, to reflect address change of FSF (reported by
1546	  Santiago Vila).
1547	+ update some configuration script macros:  CF_CHECK_CACHE,
1548	  CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS, CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_MAKEFLAGS.
1549	+ correct misuse of "$with_XXX" variables in the configure script,
1550	  which prevented configuration against curses library as opposed to
1551	  ncurses.
1552	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1553
15542002/03/09 (a)
1555	+ modify geometry of samples/fselect scripts to allow them to run in
1556	  a 24x80 screen (report/patch by Santiago Vila).
1557	+ correct exit-code for menubox.c when Cancel is pressed.  This was
1558	  unintentionally altered when adding --help-button (reported by
1559	  Patrick J Volkerding)
1560
15612002/03/09
1562	+ add --timeout option, which forces the program to exit with an error
1563	  if no user response is given within the specified number of seconds
1564	  (request by <andrew@argoncorp.com>).
1565	+ modify calendar widget to allow day/month/year values to default to
1566	  the current date (request by <Ron.Perrella@bellsouth.com>).
1567	+ modify display of buttons in checklist.c and menubox.c to handle the
1568	  case where the button label is empty (Debian #134388).
1569	+ extended logic for ok/cancel/help to make this work with checklist
1570	  widget.
1571	+ revert pt_BT.po, apply changes to pt.po (report by Frederic L W
1572	  Meunier).
1573	> several changes from Stanislav Ievlev:
1574	+ add options --help-button and --help-label to make menubox display a
1575	  third button which can be used to return an exit code causing the
1576	  calling script to show extended help information.
1577	+ use home/end keys in input string-editing, e.g., inputbox.
1578	+ add option --max-input to limit length of string returned by inputbox
1579	  and other widgets which allow the user to edit a string.
1580
15812001/12/02
1582	+ add --ok-label and --cancel-label options (request by Kyle Sallee).
1583	+ correct usage message for --fselect option (reported by Patrick J
1584	  Volkerding).
1585	+ add samples/debian.rc, for comparison with slackware.rc
1586	+ corrected samples/slackware.rc, which was just the compiled-in
1587	  default values (patch by Patrick J Volkerding).
1588	+ modify search rule for rc-file to add a global rc file /etc/dialogrc
1589	  (patch by Patrick J Volkerding).
1590	+ updated pt_BR.po with modified entries for fselect.c (Frederic L W
1591	  Meunier).
1592	+ add pl.po (Swiergot <swiergot@l02.ids.czest.pl>).
1593
15942001/11/11
1595	+ modify command-line parsing to allow a "--" argument to act as an
1596	  escape, so the next argument is not recognized as an option if it
1597	  begins with "--".  This is apparently one of popt's undocumented
1598	  features, upon which some Debian scripts depend (Debian #116642).
1599	+ add da.po (Morten Brix Pedersen <morten@wtf.dk>).
1600	+ add an install-strip rule to makefile, changing the normal install
1601	  rule to not strip the installed executable (based on discussion with
1602	  Santiago Vila).
1603	+ initialize my_output variable if user cannot open /dev/tty, e.g., if
1604	  su'd to another user (patch by Richard Braakman (<dark@ssh.com>), Debian
1605	  #117177).
1606	+ add configure option --with-ncursesw, to allow configure/build with
1607	  wide-character version of ncurses.
1608
16092001/10/14
1610	+ add option --ignore, to make dialog be ignore options that it does
1611	  not recognize.
1612	+ add option --trim, to trim literal newlines and repeated spaces from
1613	  text that will be displayed.  Add samples/msgbox2, which is the
1614	  same as msgbox1, but using --trim (cf: change for Debian #102942).
1615	+ minor correction to attributes for buttons.c to use active_attr on
1616	  the right-side of a button.
1617	+ add a sample dialog rc-file slackware.rc based on diffs in hdasetup
1618	  package at
1619		http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/slackware/slackware/source/a/hdsetup/
1620	  (discussion with Frederic L W Meunier).
1621	+ modify dialog.pl to avoid using a statically-named tempfile, allowing
1622	  multiple processes to use this script (patch by James Ranson
1623	  (<euclid80@yahoo.com>), Debian #110609).
1624	+ correct fprintf() call in j_menu() function, i.e., "--menu" option,
1625	  which did not guard against expanding '%' embedded in the parameters
1626	  (Stavros Chatzistefanidis <sxatz@yahoo.com>).
1627	+ add et.po (Ivar Smolin <okul@trenet.ee>).
1628	+ update fr.po (Frederic L W Meunier).
1629	+ modify to allow scripts to alter the exit codes, mainly to
1630	  distinguish ESC and ERROR exits.  This is done by setting a shell
1631	  variable such as DIALOG_ESC to a new value (request by Petr Vandrovec
1632	  (<vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>), Debian #99264)
1633
16342001/08/27
1635	+ use VPATH in makefile to support build with configure --srcdir, if
1636	  the make program supports that.  Note that samples/install/makefile
1637	  is not generated, due to awkward limitation of autoconf script
1638	  (reported by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>).
1639	+ add po/pt_BR.po (Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>).
1640	+ correct sense of --enable/--disable shown in configure --help (report
1641	  by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>).
1642	+ correct logic for --clear option, broken in 2000/07/02 (fixes Debian
1643	  #110254).
1644
16452001/08/11
1646	+ porting fixes to work on AIX: flush output to work around bug in
1647	  curses library, use ./killall in scripts to avoid conflict with
1648	  AIX program by that name.
1649	+ modify dlg_trim_string() to retain literal newlines if the string
1650	  does not contain "\\n" strings, and to retain leading blanks on the
1651	  resulting lines, for compatibility with older scripts (Debian
1652	  #102942).
1653	+ add charset specification to cs.po
1654	+ change dates in CHANGES to consistent format, add el.po for Greek
1655	  (patch by kromJx <kromJx@crosswinds.net>).
1656	+ eliminate static globals (bss, data) from modules rc, tailbox,
1657	  textbox using better parameter-passing convention, and const.
1658	+ cleanup temporary files in a few of the sample scripts.
1659	+ rewrote tailboxbg using select() rather than fork(), thereby
1660	  eliminating lock-files.  Only one process should be trying to display
1661	  on the screen at any given time.
1662	+ add error check to ensure that numeric parameters are really numbers.
1663	+ correct off-by-one in error messages reporting too-few or too-many
1664	  tokens for a given option (reported by George Mirchev).
1665	+ fix typo in manpage, "textboxbg" where "tailboxbg" was meant
1666	  (reported by George Mirchev <la@mail.techno-link.com>).
1667	+ use DLG_EXIT_xxx symbols consistently for all exit codes.
1668	+ updated es.po (patch by Santiago Vila).
1669	+ updates for some configure script macros from lynx:  CF_MAKEFLAGS,
1670	  CF_NCURSES_VERSION, CF_PROG_EXT.
1671	+ fixes to compile if <term.h> is included, e.g., when building with
1672	  AIX curses (report by Suzi Dowson <Suzi.Dowson@capgemini.co.uk>).
1673
16742001/05/27
1675	+ updated dialog.pot
1676	+ modify fselect.c to work with autosize, i.e., given height and width
1677	  zero (report by Martin Povolny).
1678	+ add a null-pointer check in justify_text(), needed by fselect.c
1679	+ add several more options which dialog can safely ignore, from
1680	  Xdialog 2.0.2
1681	+ refinements for configure macros checking for $CPPFLAGS, from lynx.
1682	+ update config.guess, config.sub to match autoconf 2.50
1683	> Martin Povolny <martin@solnet.cz>:
1684	+ add cs.po
1685	+ use nl_langinfo() to customize names for day-of-week, and month
1686
16872001/05/11
1688	> Vincent Stemen <dialog@AdvancedResearch.org>:
1689          Fixed dialog.c to not pass menu items through dlg_trim_string().
1690          Stripping extra spaces out of the menu items broke some of my
1691          scripts by altering the string that it compared to know which menu
1692          item was selected.  There should be no need to do justification on
1693          the menu items, which are always one line, anyway.
1694
16952001/04/29
1696	> Vincent Stemen <dialog@AdvancedResearch.org>:
1697	+ rewrote the text justification code to be able to have preformatted
1698	  text in the prompts with extra spaces like the older versions of
1699	  dialog.  If there are "\n" strings in the text, then extra spaces are
1700	  preserved.  Lines are always wrapped on word boundaries.
1701        + fixed --cr-wrap to break lines on '\n' (newline) characters and not
1702          add an extra line at the top and bottom of the text.  It now works
1703          as the manual says it should.
1704	+ it is no longer necessary to use "\n\" at the end of lines to escape
1705	  the '\n' character.  "\n" now works.  However, the old way, "\n\"
1706	  still works.
1707        + the fixes involved the following changes:
1708          - rewrote dlg_trim_string() to recognize preformatted text (know
1709            when not to strip extra spaces) and to pay attention to --cr-wrap.
1710          - rewrote justify_text() which now calls a new function in util.c,
1711            print_line(), to print each line and end it on a word boundary.
1712	  - modified real_auto_size() to call a new function
1713	    auto_size_preformated() to calculate the box size for preformatted
1714	    text.
1715          - removed skip_blanks() and skip_text() since they are not used by
1716            the new justify_text().
1717          - modified dialog.c to not call dlg_trim_string() on title strings
1718            so that titles retain their spaces.
1719        + modified the following demo files in the sample directory:
1720          - inputbox
1721	      changed all "\n\" strings to "\n" to demonstrate the extra
1722	      backslash is no longer needed.
1723          - inputbox1
1724              removed all the "\n\" strings from the end of the lines to
1725              properly demonstrate --cr-wrap.
1726          - msgbox1
1727	      this sample was using "--aspect 9 --cr-wrap".  Rewrote it to
1728	      properly demonstrate --aspect.  9 is already dialog's default
1729	      aspect ratio.  It now creates several dialogs in sequence,
1730	      demonstrating aspect ratios of 9, 12 and 6 and properly
1731	      demonstrates --cr-wrap.
1732        + made the following changes to the manual (dialog.1).
1733          - rewrote the description of --aspect to be more understandable.
1734          - rewrote the description of --cr-wrap to be more correct and more
1735            detailed.  It did say, "Otherwise, the text for each dialog will
1736            display on a single line.", which is not correct.  It wraps the
1737            text to fit in the box.
1738	> T.Dickey:
1739	+ use logic from menubox dialog in checklist to handle autosizing when
1740	  list height is given as zero (fixes problem reported by Eric Veltman
1741	  <eveltman@baan.nl>).
1742	+ modify checklist and menubox dialogs to check for too-wide data, and
1743	  truncate one or both of the name and text fields to fit (also
1744	  reported by Eric Veltman).
1745	+ corrected a few items from Vincent's patch:
1746	  - use C89-style comments rather than C++
1747	  - restore logic in justify_text() which checks for win==0, needed to
1748	    work with standard curses implementations other than ncurses.
1749	    The first call on justify_text() passes a null pointer as a flag
1750	    to indicate that checking should be done, but no screen updates.
1751	  - avoid modifying the buffer in decode_percent(), otherwise a message
1752	    containing a space or newline would be truncated at the whitespace.
1753	  - modify dlg_button_x_step() and dlg_button_layout() slightly to
1754	    work with altered print_autowrap(), etc.
1755	+ fixes to build/work with SunOS 4.x 5lib curses
1756
17572001/04/15
1758	+ fix a memory leak in mouse_region().
1759	+ simplify handling of optional parameters with new functions
1760	  optional_str() and optional_num().
1761	+ add calendar and timebox dialogs (compatible with Xdialog).
1762	+ correct typo in fallback definition for getparyx, and remove void
1763	  cast for mouse_open and mouse_close which prevented build with
1764	  Sun's Solaris compiler.
1765	+ rename --enable-lxdialog configure option to --enable-Xdialog
1766	+ modify CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS macro to match more variations of ncurses
1767	  header files.
1768	+ update config.guess, config.sub
1769	+ modify some configure script macros to avoid problems with buggy
1770	  autoconf 2.49c which breaks changequote().
1771
17722001/01/15
1773	+ small fix to revised real_auto_size() and justify_text() to avoid
1774	  adding origin to box-width, which broke samples/wheel.
1775	+ apply 1999/12/25 tempfile change to wheel and copismall samples.
1776	+ add sample script for tailboxbg.
1777	+ revised lock-file management to better ensure that locks are actually
1778	  created by the tailbox subprocess(es).
1779	+ correct hardcoded signal 15 in tailbox to SIGHUP to match
1780	  documentation.  Signal 15 is usually SIGTERM, which cannot be caught.
1781	+ correct off-by-one comparison of return-value for arg_rest() which
1782	  made
1783		dialog --gauge test 10 50
1784	  dump core because it expected a 4th parameter (fixes Debian #80641).
1785	+ resync config.sub, config.guess from
1786	  http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/config/ (which finally have
1787	  cases for OS/2 EMX), minor tweaks to related configure script macros.
1788
17892000/12/17
1790	+ restore treatment of predefined height/width in real_auto_size()
1791	  which was lost in 2000/12/12 rewrite (report by Raphael Halimi
1792	  <raphaelh@easynet.fr>).
1793	+ updates for configure script macros AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST,
1794	  CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_LIB_PREFIX, CF_PROG_EXT for $PATHSEP and $CFLAGS
1795	  fixes.
1796
17972000/12/13
1798	+ correct change for create_lock(), which resulted in an infinite loop
1799	  (patch by Chris Butler, <chrisb@debian.org>).
1800
18012000/12/12
1802	+ rewrote print_autowrap() and real_auto_size() to share common code
1803	  justify_text(), which now does text flow even when the string
1804	  contains newlines (fixes Debian #77199).
1805	+ improve create_lock() function using open() with O_EXCL rather than
1806	  fopen() (patch by Matt Kraai (<kraai@debian.org>), Debian #78951).
1807	+ correct description of --fselect in man page (patch by Tomas Pospisek
1808	  (<tpo@spin.ch>), Debian #77200).
1809	+ add --no-cancel as alias for --nocancel for compatibility with
1810	  Xdialog (report by Luis E Limon <luisl@abriasoft.com>).
1811
18122000/10/27
1813	+ some lint fixes using lclint (mostly void-casts, but some
1814	  sign-extension fixes e.g., for ctype.h macros, and loop in
1815	  dlg_char_to_button()).
1816	+ modified to build/run on OS/2 EMX with ncurses.
1817	+ minor changes to po/*.po (trim trailing blanks, provide explicit
1818	  translation for "OK"), to work with Solaris gettext.
1819	+ modified to allow this to build with archaic version (1.8.6)
1820	  of ncurses on FreeBSD 3.1 (does not run).
1821	+ update config.guess, config.sub from subversions.gnu.org
1822
18232000/10/17
1824	+ use new function sub_window() to check success/failure of calls to
1825	  subwin(), printing an error message if it fails (fixes Debian #74903).
1826	+ use combination of isatty/ttyname to look for workable tty device
1827	  on systems which have no /dev/tty, e.g., BeOS.
1828
18292000/10/08
1830	+ change exiterr() to use stdarg.h, make some messages easier to
1831	  understand.
1832	+ add dialog_clear()
1833	+ make samples/install/setup build.
1834	+ implemented mouse support for buttons, e.g., in yesno dialog using
1835	  ncurses (the gpm support no longer works, but is useful for reference)
1836	+ add a configure check for chtype.
1837	+ updates for configure script macros (CF_BUNDLED_INTL, CF_CURSES_LIBS,
1838	  CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_GCC_WARNINGS, CF_INCLUDE_DIRS), and scripts
1839	  config.guess, config.sub
1840	+ cleanup of item-help change, integrate with checklist and radiobox.
1841	+ add ja.po, from Hirofumi Takeda <takepin@turbolinux.co.jp>.
1842	> patch by Marco Mariani <marcom@sferacarta.com>
1843	+ add --item-help option, which makes menubox data interpreted as
1844	  3 columns rather than 2.  The third column is displayed on the
1845	  last line of the screen as a help/status message for the currently
1846	  selected item.
1847	+ add it.po, pt.po
1848	+ change TAG_KEY_HL to FALSE, making unselected items in checklist
1849	  easier to read on Linux console.
1850
18512000/07/30
1852	+ change real_auto_size() to allow it to be used for dialogs that have
1853	  no prompt, e.g., fselect.  Also, rather than requiring both height
1854	  and width to be given as -1 for maximizing the dialog, allow either
1855	  alone.
1856	+ increase minimum height needed for autosized yesno dialog.
1857	+ add --version as an alias for --print-version.
1858	+ fix for build on Solaris without NLS (cannot redefine 'gettext()').
1859	+ add fselect dialog (compatible with Xdialog).
1860	+ add --enable-lxdialog configure option.
1861	+ use new configure macro CF_ARG_MSG_ENABLE to show progress with
1862	  enable/disable switches.
1863
18642000/07/02
1865	+ implement --stdout and --stderr options as in Xdialog.
1866	+ move logic that translates "\\n" into '\n' into main program to
1867	  simplify logic that formats text.
1868	+ make ifdef's for rc-file not specific to ncurses.
1869	+ correct logic making percent parameter of gauge optional.
1870
18712000/06/29
1872	+ add alternate test-script for gauge, adapted from Xdialog.
1873	+ modify gauge to make optional a percentage which was read at the
1874	  beginning of the XXX-delimited message text, since clones of dialog
1875	  are written to assume this is text.  If the line is not a simple
1876	  integer, dialog will treat it as text.
1877	+ make the percent parameter of gauge optional, as in Xdialog.
1878	+ undo one use of CharOf() in guage.c, an error.
1879	+ fix configure macro AM_WITH_NLS to refrain from attempting to make a
1880	  symbolic link into/libintl.h if we are not using the bundled intl
1881	  directory from gettext (reported by Julian Coleman
1882	  <J.D.Coleman@newcastle.ac.uk>).
1883	+ add ru.po, from Michael Sobolev <mss@transas.com>
1884	+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from tin.
1885	+ updates for configure script macros:  CF_MATH_LIB (improperly nested
1886	  brackets/parenthesis) and CF_XOPEN_CURSES (make include of
1887	  <*curses.h> depend on configure tests).
1888
18892000/04/25
1890	+ repaint screen when a control/L is pressed.
1891	+ apply CharOf() macro to avoid sign-extension on calls to waddch(),
1892	  fixes a problem with accented characters (reported by Santiago Vila).
1893	+ add es.po, from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>
1894
18952000/04/23
1896	+ modified to use gettext (configure option --enable-nls).  This uses
1897	  gettext 0.10.35, which must be previously installed.  (It can also
1898	  use an included intl library, but I consider that to be a waste of
1899	  disk space).
1900	+ remove code in checklist/radiobox, menubox that try to use
1901	  abbreviations for the OK/Cancel buttons since those conflict with the
1902	  check for abbreviations in list entries, which are more useful.
1903	+ moved padding of button labels out of string literals, into the
1904	  logic of dlg_draw_buttons().
1905	+ resync/update with configure macros CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_FIND_LIBRARY,
1906	  CF_HEADER_PATH, CF_LIBRARY_PATH and CF_NCURSES_LIBS, as well as
1907	  mkdirs.sh and config.guess.
1908
19092000/02/22
1910	+ add --default-item option, for menubox to set the default selection
1911	  (fixes Debian #49796).
1912	+ add sample scripts for --nocancel and --fb options with inputbox.
1913	+ modify inputbox* sample scripts to show application errors, if any.
1914	+ add --nocancel option, and ignore --noitem, --fb, --fullbutton, to
1915	  make this compatible with whiptail scripts.  (whiptail does not
1916	  handle many dialog scripts however).
1917	+ modify checklist/radiobox to handle home, end, nextpage, prevpage
1918	  keys, as well as make the abbreviation search work for the whole
1919	  list, not only the current page.
1920	+ treat KEY_LL the same as KEY_END in checklist and textbox.
1921	+ add logic for KEY_BTAB.
1922	+ use new function dlg_draw_buttons() to better manage the layout of
1923	  yes/no/ok/cancel buttons.
1924	+ another pass of cleanup of dialog.c, makes it use a single table for
1925	  lookup of option names and help-message.  Eliminated numerous
1926	  adjustments to 'offset' variable.
1927	+ on initialization, check if standard input is from a terminal.  If
1928	  not, open /dev/tty (fixes Debian #57771)
1929
19302000/02/05
1931	+ implement inline editing in textbox.c search dialog.
1932	+ revise inputbox.c, allowing inline editing with arrow-keys.  removed
1933	  redundant logic in that module.
1934	+ correct a typo that prevented rc-file configuration from building.
1935	+ correct ifdef's to compile/run if the curses implementation does not
1936	  support color.
1937
19382000/01/23
1939	+ improve test-case for gauge.
1940	+ change gauge.c to show progress in reverse-video, add a check for
1941	  end-of-file in the loop for reading new messages.
1942	+ use curses whline() function to simplify print_arrows() logic in
1943	  checklist.c and menubox.c
1944	+ use curses beep() function rather than hardcoded strings.
1945	+ correct several compiler warnings for gcc -pedantic (mismatch of
1946	  const, signed/unsigned).
1947	+ modify exiterr() to avoid possible expansion of '%'.
1948	+ change CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to allow specifying a particular
1949	  test-function.  For dialog, this should be sqrt().  The macro was
1950	  originally written for ncurses, which needs sin().  However, that is
1951	  a builtin function on the m68k port (reported by Roman Hodek
1952	  <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>, this fixes Debian #55553).
1953
19542000/01/18
1955	+ update manpage (Debian #25648).
1956	+ modify configure test for math library to avoid using a constant
1957	  parameter to the test function, lest gcc optimize the call away
1958	  (fixes Debian #55553).
1959	+ restructure help-message so actual problem is indicated.  The original
1960	  help-message is shown if no parameters are given, or if the --help
1961	  option is specified alone.
1962	+ suppress xterm's alternate screen mode by sending an exit_ca_mode
1963	  after initscr if the terminal looks like xterm, e.g., has key_mouse
1964	  defined, and has private-mode escapes in both enter_ca_mode and
1965	  exit_ca_mode (fixes Debian #55181).
1966	+ change yellow lettering on white to blue on white, since it offers
1967	  better contrast (fixes Debian #51196).
1968	+ use napms() rather than sleep().
1969	+ some cleanup/simplification of main program.  Indent'd dialog.c and
1970	  util.c
1971	+ eliminate several places where repeated options are treated as
1972	  an error, since they are really executed once anyway.
1973
19742000/01/15
1975	+ remove pre-autoconf Makefile
1976	+ remove sleep's from a few of the sample scripts, which left users
1977	  thinking that dialog was slow to complete an action.
1978	+ rewrote infobox sample script, using dialog's --sleep option and
1979	  a loop in the script.
1980	+ change 'ch' variable in tailbox.c to an integer, because it is
1981	  compared against EOF (fixes Debian #53157).
1982	+ corrected mandir variable in makefile.in (reported by Santiago Vila).
1983	+ small changes to sample scripts, from Debian: rename "guage" script
1984	  to "gauge", change path to copy of GPL used in textbox.
1985	+ add uninstall rule to makefile.in, fixed some dependencies so
1986	  "make install" works without first doing "make all".
1987
19881999/12/25
1989	+ use more portable scheme for tempfile generation in samples.
1990	+ add a configure script, prefer to not use the original Makefile
1991	  because it works only with GNU make.
1992	+ correct prototype of 'main()', which misused const.
1993	+ modify guage.c to use fgets() rather than gets().
1994	+ merge changes from Debian package maintainer
1995	  Santiago Vila <sanvila@ctv.es>:
1996
1997	  1999/10/07
1998		+ add a password dialog box (Debian #45964, patch by Joey Hess).
1999		+ implement "--defaultno" option to specify if the default for
2000		  the yes/no box is "No" (Debian #46076, patch by Joey Hess).
2001	  1999/03/10
2002		+ modify input.c to clear the input field to the right of the
2003		  given string, to help with screen-refresh
2004	  1998/12/08
2005		+ check for list_height less than one in checklist.c (Debian
2006		  #22239).
2007	  1998/10/21
2008		+ use function wscrl() in preference to scroll() in checklist.c
2009		  and menubox.c (unclear: in ncurses, scroll() is a macro that
2010		  uses wscrl()).
2011		+ remove the "-I/usr/include/ncurses" option from Makefile
2012		  since Debian does not install ncurses' header files into
2013		  that directory.
2014	  1998/09/12
2015		+ simplify menubox.c using new functions print_arrows() and
2016		  print_items().  add logic to handle KEY_NPAGE and KEY_PPAGE
2017		  (Debian #26326).
2018		+ modifications to provide sample scripts (Debian #26211):
2019		  + change sample scripts to use Debian tempfile utility rather
2020		    than putting files into /tmp.
2021		  + change sample scripts to use 'dialog' from user's path
2022		    rather than in the parent directory as in the build
2023		    directory.
2024		+ use the system copy of GPL rather than that in the build
2025		  directory as an example for the textbox script.
2026
20271999/11/27
2028	+ fix some gcc warnings about ambiguous use of "else"
2029
20301999/05/01
2031	+ cleaned up some of the redundant code with new functions:
2032		box_x_ordinate
2033		box_y_ordinate
2034		draw_title
2035		draw_bottom_box
2036		new_window
2037
2038	+ modified msgbox.c and yesno.c to work with the KEY_RESIZE sigwinch
2039	  handling in ncurses 4.2
2040
2041	+ corrected spelling of "gauge"
2042
2043The relevant portions of the Debian change log for the original version
2044(dialog-0.9a-12) are abstracted here, omitting details of their packaging:
2045
20461998/05/24
2047
2048	+ Replaced guage.c by the one in dialog 0.6z, which is known to work.
2049	  Fixes Debian #18284: unstable dialog.
2050
20511997/12/16
2052
2053	+ dialog.c:  dialog_input_result printed with "%s" format.  This was
2054	  Debian #9913, fixed by Bill Mitchell, but the change was lost.
2055	+ Pristine source, .depend is not removed in clean target.  Instead, it
2056	  is made zero length (otherwise it would not work *without* fakeroot).
2057	+ Added '^U' support in input box (Debian #9915, patch by Joey Hess).
2058	+ Wrote patch to fix core-dumping problem (Debian #13170).  Sven Rudolph
