1-- $Id: CHANGES,v 1.451 2012/12/30 15:43:24 tom Exp $ 2-- Thomas E. Dickey <dickey@invisible-island.net> 3 4This version of dialog was originally from a Debian snapshot. I've done this 5to it: 6 72012/12/30 - release 1.2 8 + improve some older changelog entries to help with HTML'izing content. 9 + various fixes/improvments for scrollbar appearance. 10 + add mappings for some equivalent options provided by whiptail; 11 add configure option --disable-whiptail to allow suppressing these. 12 + add configure option --disable-Xdialog2 to allow suppressing the 13 newer features, i.e., for cdialog 1.2 14 + add --no-items option, for consistency. 15 + add --no-tags option, like Xdialog. 16 + add buildlist, rangebox and treeview dialogs, like Xdialog. 17 + remove obsolete workaround for ncurses 4.2 scrolling in checklist 18 and menubox. 19 + improve dialog_helpfile() by preventing it from showing extra buttons 20 (suggested by xDog Walker). 21 + correct logic in formbox's scroll_next() function (report by xDog 22 Walker). 23 + fix a case with inputbox widget where preset input text is not shown 24 until moving the cursor within the text (report by xDog Walker). 25 + handle SIGCHLD in dialog_prgbox() to eliminate defunct processes 26 (report by xDog Walker). 27 + improve the way "hotkeys" are assigned to widget buttons by checking 28 if a given key has already been used in the row of buttons (Debian 29 #684933). 30 + amend fix for --trace parsing from 2012/07/03, which sometimes 31 skipped a parameter (report by xDog Walker). 32 + drop copismall and install files from samples, which were essentially 33 nonfunctional. 34 + correct secondary border colors in samples/slackware.rc and 35 samples/whiptail.rc 36 + update gl.po, add ia.po from 37 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 38 + fix various issues reported by coverity scan. 39 + miscellaneous configure script fixes/updates: 40 + require autoconf 2.52+patches 41 + support --datarootdir option 42 + check for clang compiler 43 + check for tinfo library when looking for ncurses 44 + add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE for autoheader 45 + remove unused macros from aclocal.m4 46 + update config.guess, config.sub 47 482012/07/06 49 + modify samples/setup-tempfile to work with Tru64's shell. 50 + modify inputmenu sample scripts to make them more portable: 51 + use "id" rather than "$GROUPS", use sed to work with Solaris. 52 + use sed to split-up the rename results to work with HPUX. 53 + fix regression in msgbox (ArchLinux #30574) 54 552012/07/03 56 + modify prgbox widget to work with --extra-button, etc. 57 + add case values to several widgets to allow for mouse-clicks with 58 "--extra-button" and "--help-button" additions. 59 + correct timebox widget's exit code for "--extra-button" when handing 60 the "enter" key. 61 + modify msgbox widget to honor "--extra-button". 62 + corrected processing of "--trace" option, which did not update the 63 index into command-line to point past its value. 64 + add a check in dialog program for valid characters used in option, 65 e.g., to generate an error if a script attempts to add option value 66 using "=" rather than with whitespace. 67 + add new command-line option --default-button and library function 68 dlg_default_button() to retrieve the value set by the option 69 to provide a way to set the default button directly rather than 70 by combining --nook, etc. (patch by Zoltan Kelemen). 71 + amend include of unctrl.h to apply only to the case where curses.h 72 is included, to avoid conflict of ncurses' unctrl.h with a system 73 implementation (report by Martin Roedlach) 74 + add limit-check to dlg_toupper() in non-wide curses mode to work 75 when non-character values such as arrow-key codes are passed to 76 it (patch by Zoltan Kelemen). 77 + override timeout value, e.g., as set via --timeout command-line 78 option in pause widget because that interferes with pause's behavior 79 (report by Jan Spitalnik). 80 + modify samples/inputmenu* to allow ":" in renamed text (report by 81 Andreas Stoewing). 82 + modify double-quoting to make it more consistent, i.e., checklist 83 output is quoted only when needed. This fixes the case where 84 single-quotes were used whether or not needed, but also modifies 85 older checklist behavior for double-quoting which always added those 86 (Debian #663664). 87 + correct exit-code used in inputmenu for "rename" button (Debian 88 #673041, forwarded from Ubuntu #333909, patch by Lebedev Vadim). 89 + update el.po and hr.po from 90 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 91 + use checkbashisms to clean up sample scripts. 92 932012/02/15 94 + modify menubox.c to use the same improvement as in checklist.c 95 + improve auto width computation for checklist widget by using 96 dlg_calc_list_width as in the non-auto case (Edho Arief). 97 + eliminate some bashisms in the sample scripts (Pedro Giffuni). 98 + makefile fixes from FreeBSD ports (Li-Wen Hsu): 99 + make --with-package option of configure script work. 100 + get LIBTOOL_VERSION from configure script, needed by 101 ${LIBTOOL_VERSION} in LIBTOOL_CREATE (LIB_CREATE in configure and 102 aclocal.m4) 103 + update cs.po and sr.po from 104 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 105 + updated configure script macros, improving CF_XOPEN_SOURCE among 106 other fixes. 107 1082011/10/20 109 + fix --analyze warnings for clang versions 2.8, 2.9. 110 + add configure check for lint program. 111 + add check in dlg_getc() in case its window is freed as a side effect 112 of removing callbacks. 113 + fix logic in freeing subwindows (report by xDog Walker). 114 + fix a regression in logic distinguishing between inputmenu and menu 115 widgets (report by xDog Walker). 116 + minor fixes to library manpage. 117 1182011/10/18 119 + modify header-sh.in to work around limit on sed script length on 120 HPUX. 121 + add a special case of parameter parsing for "--trace" to the 122 initialization done before calling init_dialog(), to allow users to 123 capture the initial state of the parameter list before any options 124 are processed and removed. This is only done if "--trace" is the 125 first option, otherwise it is handled in the common options as before 126 (report by xDog Walker). 127 + modify samples/testdata-8bit, discarding $1 from the parameter list 128 if it was used, so that the source'ing scripts can consistently use 129 "$@" to insert parameters before the widget, e.g., as an alternative 130 to using $DIALOGOPTS (report by xDog Walker). 131 + modify treatment of function pointers in menubox.c, make 132 dlg_renamed_menutext() and dlg_dummy_menutext() visible to library 133 users (request by xDog Walker). 134 + add dlg_count_real_columns(), use to modify centering for "--hline" 135 text to account for "\Z"s (report by xDog Walker). 136 + improve check in dlg_draw_arrows2() for conflict between the window 137 title and up-arrow marker to take into account that the given window 138 may not be the top-level window of the widget. 139 + change width of page up/down mouse areas in fselect panes to use the 140 full width of the panes rather than only the portion from the left 141 margin to the up/down arrow. 142 + add/use dlg_draw_box2() and dlg_draw_bottom_box2() to use the 143 secondary borders. 144 + modify rc-file read/write to accept/generate color values that refer 145 to previously-processed items in the color table. This reduces the 146 number of distinct colors that must be specified to set up a color 147 scheme. 148 + add color table entries for secondary borders, i.e., the ones that 149 are normally drawn with the dialog's text-colors (Debian #641168). 150 + modify fselect.c to scan the current directory if the input field 151 happens to be empty (Debian #640905). 152 + repeated the discussion of environment variables that can override 153 the exit-status values in the manpage's return-codes section 154 (Debian #642105). 155 + add an example to the manpage showing how to override the form 156 widget's keys used for field/button traversal (Debian #642108). 157 + modify call to dlg_register_window() in formbox.c so that the editing 158 bindings are attached to the form sub-window rather than the 159 top-level dialog window. Also change the name by which the editing 160 bindings are bound for editbox.c, fselect.c and inputbox.c, so that 161 the editing and navigation bindings can be different. 162 + correct logic in dlg_lookup_key() so that it matches the widget name 163 before using a binding from .dialogrc, allowing the inner/outer 164 windows of form and other editing widgets to have different bindings. 165 + modify dlg_register_window() to call dlg_dump_window_keys() after 166 its updates, via the --trace output, to supplement the manpage 167 description of key bindings (Debian #642108). 168 + add DLGK_FORM_PREV and DLGK_FORM_NEXT key-bindings to form.c, to 169 allow binding a single key to traverse both form-fields and buttons 170 (Debian #642108). 171 + modify dlg_parse_rc() to check for error return from 172 dlg_parse_bindkey(). 173 + add function dlg_dump_window_keys(), to help with debugging widgets. 174 + add CR, LF, TAB, FF and ESC to table of curses names to help make 175 key bindings more readable. 176 + update table of dialog key-names so that helpfile and trace are 177 dumped properly. 178 + correct dlg_dump_keys(), which was showing only the first item in 179 the matched binding table. 180 + save/restore window current position in dlg_update_mixedgauge(). 181 + pass return-code from pause_for_ok() from dlg_progressbox() when 182 pauseopt is set, rather than only DLG_OK. 183 + call setlocale() in init_dialog() rather than relying on on-demand 184 use within inputstr.c, since there are paths in textbox widget which 185 do not exercise the latter (report by xDog Walker). 186 + fix some places where checks for "\Z" were done without also checking 187 dialog_vars.colors (report by Moray Henderson). 188 + correct logic for DIALOGOPTS parsing so that the parse happens only 189 once unless memory leak checking is enabled (report by xDog Walker). 190 + remove an incorrect free() call in dlg_free_gauge() (report by xDog 191 Walker). 192 + modify dlg_trace_win() to log wide-characters (report by xDog Walker). 193 + make traces shorter by skipping repeated ERR's, but showing the 194 number skipped (report by xDog Walker). 195 + improve description in manpage to distinguish program box and 196 progress box from tailboxes (adapted from email by xDog Walker). 197 + modify dlg_trace_win() so that it looks for the topmost window in a 198 dialog. Because subwindows share space with the top window, tracing 199 the latter shows the whole widget (report by xDog Walker). 200 + expand tracing so that each window is traced before soliciting input, 201 making the ^T feature to print a window on demand partly redundant 202 (suggested by xDog Walker). 203 + cosmetic change in dialog.h to avoid "*/*" strings from comments next 204 to "*" (report by xDog Walker). 205 + ensure result from dlg_align_columns() has trailing null on each 206 string. Analysis was hindered by libc6's continuance of libc5's 207 early-1990s misfeature of clearing the result from malloc, noting 208 that libc6's documentation incorrectly claims that it does not do 209 this (report by xDog Walker). 210 2112011/07/07 212 + modify util.c to work better with old versions of ncurses: 213 + suppress use of wchgat() before fix in 20060715 which is needed 214 for simple shadow manipulation used here in 2011/06/30 (report 215 by xDog Walker). 216 + add a null-pointer check in dlg_print_scrolled() 217 + fix a regression in dlg_getc() introduced by changes to intercept 218 F1 for help-popup (report by xDog Walker). 219 2202011/06/30 221 + correct license statement for prgbox.c (Debian #632198). 222 + correct layout when "--colors" is used, by discounting characters in 223 the escape sequences from the column counts (report by xDog Walker). 224 + modify dlg_checklist() so that only one item in the list can 225 initially be selected (report by xDog Walker). 226 + add/use macro dlg_enter_buttoncode() to improve implementation of 227 "--nook" option (report by xDog Walker). 228 + add option "--no-nl-expand" to suppress the conversion of "\n" 229 strings into newlines (request by xDog Walker). 230 + modify LIB_CREATE symbol in makefile.in to include the library 231 dependencies such as ncurses. This is needed when dynamically 232 loading the library (report/analysis by xDog Walker). 233 + modify dlg_exit_label() to suppress the Cancel button, for 234 consistency. 235 + modify dlg_exit_label() to honor the --nook option, except when there 236 is no other button, e.g., the help-button. 237 + modify dlg_exit_buttoncode() so that it returns the proper code for 238 help-button (report by xDog Walker). 239 + correct loop limit when processing "--column-separator" (report by 240 xDog Walker). 241 + modify handling of "--version" and "--help" to ensure that they are 242 processed, and exit before widgets. Separate "--print-version" 243 from "--version", allowing its output to be interspersed with 244 widget output (report by xDog Walker). 245 + correct a few places where "--version" or "--help" options went 246 always to stdout rather than allowing redirection with the "--stderr" 247 option (report by xDog Walker). 248 + improve repainting after erasing a widget and its shadow. 249 + add "--hline" and "--hfile" options for compatibility with FreeBSD 250 dialog (request by Devin Teske). 251 + add dialog version message when opening a trace file (request by 252 xDog Walker). 253 + show filename of rc-file in traces. 254 + add piped-in data for gauge widget to traces. 255 + add entrypoints to gauge widget, for allocating, updating and freeing 256 the widget (adapted from patch by Stephen Hurd). 257 + fix a reference to freed memory in the gauge widget. 258 + fix --no-mouse option by actually closing the mouse (report by 259 xDog Walker). 260 + add sk.po from 261 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 262 + limit Solaris xpg4 portability fix for redefinition of ERR to cover 263 the specific value found in <sys/regset.h>, in case an application 264 includes dialog.h after curses.h (FreeBSD #156601, report by Jaakko 265 Heinonen, Stephen Hurd). 266 + updated configure macros: 267 + CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS, 268 + CF_CURSES_LIBS, make checks for special libraries on hpux10 and 269 sunos4 optional 270 + CF_CURSES_FUNCS, workaround for bug in gcc 4.2.1 (FreeBSD 8.1) 271 which caused part of test program to be omitted, i.e., when it saw 272 two return-statements in a row it omitted the _first_ one. Also 273 add expression to pointer check to help FreeBSD's linker decide it 274 should be validated. Just an assignment was not enough. Also, add 275 check for unctrl.h 276 + CF_CURSES_HEADER, change order for curses.h / ncurses.h pairs to 277 put ncurses.h first, which will tend to provide the same #define's 278 as in CF_NCURSES_HEADER (report by Dennis Preiser). 279 + CF_CURSES_TERM_H, modify to avoid spurious check for 280 <curses.hterm.h> if there is no ncurses version. Look for 281 ncurses's term.h anyway, to work around breakage by packagers who 282 separate ncurses' header files. 283 + CF_DISABLE_RPATH_HACK, fix garbled message 284 + CF_LD_RPATH_OPT, add mirbsd 285 + CF_MAKEFLAGS, filter out GNU make's entering/leaving messages. 286 This only appeared when using the macro in a dpkg script, though it 287 should have in other cases. 288 + CF_RPATH_HACK, add a check for libraries not found, e.g., from 289 suppressed functionality of gcc in linking from /usr/local/lib, and 290 add a -L option to help work around this. 291 + CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, workaround for cygwin to get ncurses' configure 292 script to define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED (cygwin's features.h 293 doesn't do anything, so it needs a crutch). 294 + update config.guess, config.sub 295 2962011/03/02 297 + add --prgbox and --programbox (adapted from patch by David Boyd). 298 + add sl.po from 299 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 300 + fix timeouts from 2011/01/18, which were being interpreted as 301 milliseconds rather than seconds (report by Luis Moreira). 302 3032011/01/18 304 + fix inconsistency in return-codes for textbox when help-button is 305 used by making dlg_exit_buttoncode() a wrapper for 306 dlg_ok_buttoncode(). 307 + modify pause widget to use dlg_ok_buttoncode(), so help-button works. 308 + correct two infobox sample scripts, which did not pass extra 309 command-line parameters due to quoting problems. 310 + add a limit-check to the timebox widget (patch by Garrett Cooper). 311 + modify --trace option to also trace the command-line parameters. 312 + account for combining characters when wrapping text (Debian #570634). 313 + correct handling of SIGWINCH in gauge widget (Debian #305705). 314 + add gauge_color, to make guage's progress-bar distinct from 315 title_color (request by Dominic Derdau). 316 + update fi.po from 317 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 318 as well as resync line-numbers in the other po-files. 319 + modify configure script and dialog program to build with NetBSD's 320 wide-character curses functions, including workarounds for its 321 incorrect WACS_xxx definitions. Some of the UTF-8 examples work. 322 + add back-tab for traversal of tailboxbg widgets, for symmetry with 323 tab-traversal. 324 + reduce flicker in tailboxbg by checking if the input file size has 325 changed. 326 + modify internals of callbacks to avoid blocking reads of their 327 associated files by keyboard input. 328 + add command-line option --no-mouse, to suppress use of mouse. 329 + add configure option --enable-header-subdir to allow the header files 330 to be installed into a subdirectory named for the package. 331 + modify dlg_restore_vars() to retain the updated values of 332 input_result and input_length, eliminating the need for a caller to 333 provide their own user buffer (prompted by report by Thiago Bimbatti 334 Felicio). 335 + add a null-pointer check in show_result() for 336 dialog_vars.input_result, and ensure it is set to null after freeing 337 (prompted by report by Thiago Bimbatti Felicio). 338 + change order of -I options in CPPFLAGS (report by Michel Feldheim) 339 + modify pause-widget so that it no longer exits when an unrecognized 340 key is pressed (patch by Creidieki M Crouch). 341 + add --with-package option to configure script to allow renaming 342 of the dialog program and library, to support the package scripts. 343 + add Debian and RPM package scripts for test-builds. 344 + several improvements to configure script: 345 + quote params of ifelse() 346 + change obsolete ${name-value} to standard ${name:-value} 347 + use new macros CF_ADD_LIB/CF_ADD_LIBS to enforce consistency. 348 + AM_GNU_GETTEXT, drop $MKINSTALLDIRS, use "mkdir -p" consistently. 349 + CF_ADD_SUBDIR_PATH, workaround - if $prefix was not mkdir'd yet, no 350 directories were added. 351 + CF_BUNDLED_INTL, add --with-textdomain option, to use with lynx-dev 352 package 353 + CF_FIND_LINKAGE, simplify save/restore of $LIBS 354 + CF_GCC_WARNINGS, fix for Mac OS X (compiler makes conftest.dSYM 355 directory) 356 + CF_HEADER_PATH, don't search for variations of everything in the 357 current include-path 358 + CF_WITH_CURSES_DIR, move the calls to CF_ADD_INCDIR and 359 CF_ADD_LIBDIR for the curses-directory here, from 360 CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS and CF_NCURSES_LDFLAGS, so it will work even 361 with the default checking, e.g., no --with-ncurses, etc. 362 + update config.guess, config.sub 363 3642010/04/28 365 + several improvements to configure script: 366 + modify CF_CURSES_TERM_H to handle cases such as cygwin where 367 packager has installed curses.h and term.h in different 368 directories, e.g., to wedge in a termcap library. 369 + modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, adding special case for OpenSolaris 370 + modify CF_MAKE_TAGS to add check for exctags and exetags, prefer to 371 ctags and etags to work around pkgsrc (NetBSD) renaming. 372 + correct CF_FIND_LINKAGE, setting cache variable for library_file in 373 the special case where no directory search is made. 374 + improve CF_GCC_VERSION, suppress stderr for c89 alias of gcc. 375 + improve CF_GCC_WARNINGS, moving -W and -Wall into the list to 376 check, since c89 alias for gcc complains about these options. 377 + modify CF_HEADER_PATH, to not search for variations of everything 378 in the current include-path 379 + use "mkdir -p", remove mkdirs.sh 380 + use CF_CURSES_HEADER to fill in possible subdirectory used for 381 ncurses header filename. 382 + modify CF_XOPEN_CURSES to work around current ncurse header loss of 383 predefinition of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 384 + add "--disable-rpath-hack" option, along with scripting to add 385 rpath option to libraries found in unusual places. 386 + modify pause widget to autosize like gauge, and to omit the area for 387 buttons when none are displayed. 388 + fix an infinite loop in dlg_button_layout() if there are no buttons 389 to display (Debian #579390). 390 + add makefile rules for generating html, etc., documentation from 391 nroff. 392 > patches by Samuel Mart�n Moro 393 + reset errors in tailbox before reading new character. 394 + modify dlg_draw_scrollbar(), omitting hiding percentages in boxes 395 when no arrows or scrollbar are needed. 396 + correct value of row for scrollbars in formbox. 397 + update es.po from 398 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 399 4002010/01/19 401 + split up binding tables in inputbox and similar widgets to avoid 402 conflict between cursor-key use for input-string versus navigation 403 (report by slakmagik). 404 + if strftime() is available, support --time-format option for timebox 405 widget. 406 + if strftime() is available, support --date-format option for calendar 407 widget (request by Walter Harms). 408 + build-fixes for linking to intl library in /usr/local 409 + add --scrollbar option, use in most widgets to show a scrollbar on 410 the right margin of the data. That is cosmetic, does not respond to 411 the mouse. 412 + reuse functions from msgbox to allow prompt for yesno box to be 413 scrolled in a too-small window. 414 + correct mapping of button-codes with --nook option (report by Lebedev 415 Vadim). 416 + cleanup sample scripts using new utility scripts setup-* and report-*, 417 and allow command-line parameters to be added, for ad hoc testing. 418 + correct change to tailbox widget from 2009/02/22 using 419 dlg_button_layout(), which broke that widget. 420 + document some of the portability caveats. 421 + modify gauge widget to service callbacks (prompted by patch and 422 comments by Frank Sorenson). 423 + modify editbox to allow its input buffer to be larger than MAX_LEN 424 unless bounded by the --max-input option, and add limit-checks for 425 the buffer (report by slakmagik). 426 + improve manpage description of --checklist (report by Isaac Good). 427 + several improvements to configure script macros: CF_ADD_CFLAGS 428 CF_CURSES_FUNCS CF_DISABLE_ECHO CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES CF_MATH_LIB 429 CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE CF_REMOVE_DEFINE CF_WITH_LIBTOOL CF_XOPEN_SOURCE 430 + add is.po, lv.po, sw.po from 431 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 432 + update de.po, id.po, pl.po, pt_BR.po, vi.po from 433 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 434 4352009/02/22 436 + do not display top-arrows for scrolling if they would overwrite the 437 title (report by slakmagik) 438 + consistently use dlg_button_layout() when autosizing widgets (report 439 by slakmagik). 440 + add "-" and "+" bindings to timebox widget. 441 + add "-" and "+" bindings to calendar widget (OpenSolaris #6739031). 442 + review/fix other widgets to ensure that they exit on error, e.g., 443 editbox.c 444 + modify check in dlg_getc() to treat closure of either stdin or stdout 445 as an error, rather than both. This is more stringent than the check 446 added in 2007/07/04. 447 + modify dlg_result_key() to map curses ERR to dialog's error exit 448 (adapted from patch by Domagoj Pensa). 449 + updated several configure script macros: 450 + consistently append, rather then prepend, to $CFLAGS 451 + add cases for AIX 6, mint, and dragonfly to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE 452 + use $PATH_SEPARATOR rather than $PATHSEP 453 + improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE, use in checks for more libraries, e.g., 454 libutf8 and libiconv. 455 + update da.po, ru.po from 456 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 457 + update config.guess, config.sub 458 4592008/08/19 460 + amend changes to quoting; by default, the checklist widget quotes its 461 output except when --separate-output is used (Debian #495600). 462 + add eo.po from 463 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 464 4652008/07/27 466 + add pointer-check when closing piped input (cf: 2007/03/25) 467 + use here-documents rather than echo, when passing backslashes in 468 strings, to accommodate the Debian shell "dash" (Debian #489563). 469 + recode several ".po" files to UTF-8 for consistency. 470 + change --separator to be an alias for --output-separator, for 471 compatibility with Xdialog. 472 + add --output-separator option to allow scripts to change the output 473 separator from a newline (for --separate-output) or a space. This 474 applies to other widgets such as forms and editboxes which normally 475 use a newline. 476 + add --column-separator option, to tell where column-aligned data for 477 radio/checkboxes or menus should be split into columns (request by 478 Ben Dibbens). 479 + add id.po, ku.po, lt.po, nb.po and update ca.po, fr.po, gl.po, ja.po, 480 th.po from 481 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 482 + add "--quoted" option, to quote values returned by formbox, etc. 483 + change names of EX/ES macros in dialog.1 to work around name- 484 pollution caused by changes in Debian #470729. 485 4862008/03/16 487 + modify dlg_mouse_wgetch() to loop only on errors that it detects, 488 rather than on errors forwarded from dlg_getc(), in case those are 489 due to a disconnected terminal (report by Anatoli Sakhnik). 490 + allow "default" color in dialogrc file (request by Dashing). 491 + fix an indexing error in formbox (Debian #469190, report by Dmitry 492 Gomerman, patch by Vladimir Mezentsev). 493 + add bindings for CTL/N, CTL/P to checklist, fselect and menubox 494 widgets (prompted by discussion with John Gatewood Ham). 495 + add be@latin.po, th.po and update zh_TW.po from 496 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 497 > patches by Peter Astrand: 498 + modify dlg_auto_sizefile() to ensure the computed height and width 499 do not extend beyond the screen size. 500 + use unctrl() to make inputstr.c work with Solaris curses. 501 > patches by Yura Kalinichenko: 502 + extend pause widget to use ok/cancel buttons (the former giving the 503 same result as a timeout), rather than an exit-button. 504 + fix initialization parameter of inputbox for multibyte characters. 505 5062007/10/28 507 + improve layout of checklist.c, menubox.c, ensuring that the list fits 508 within the available space (report by Gordon Schumacher). 509 + undo removal of redundant chunk from checklist.c in 2007/02/27, 510 since some scripts depend on this (Debian #443077). 511 + update nl.po from 512 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 513 5142007/09/30 515 + correct cursor position in editbox after deleting past left margin 516 (report by Joe McDonagh). 517 + add "--no-ok" option (patch by Klaus Knopper). 518 + modify "--file" option to allow it to read from sources other than 519 a regular file (patch by Pieter van Beek). 520 + improved hi.po (Hindi) (from Klaus Knopper). 521 + fix masking of attributes in dlg_draw_shadow() which lost 522 line-drawing bit (report by David Everly). 523 + fix editbox widget to handle zero-length files (report by Joe 524 McDonagh). 525 + update "po" files eu.po ga.po it.po ms.po sv.po vi.po wa.po zh_CN.po 526 from 527 http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ 528 5292007/07/04 530 + revise the resizable shadows so textbox's search dialog has text 531 visible in the shadow again. 532 + improve the prefixing of autoconf-related symbols in the installed 533 header files, taking into account symbols which are not mentioned in 534 dlg_config.h 535 + add a check when ERR returned from wgetch() to ensure that the 536 input/output streams are still valid. If that happens, force 537 ESC to be returned, quitting dialog (report by Reiner Huober). 538 + add extern "C" declarations to dlg_keys.h so the corresponding 539 function declarations are exported to C++ as C symbols. 540 + update config.guess, config.sub 541 5422007/06/04 543 + fix a memory leak in editbox.c 544 + revise change from 2007/02/27 which moved the logic for trimming 545 option text out of the loop because that moved it before 546 initialization of the "--trim" option. Put it back in the loop, but 547 limit the tokens which are trimmed to cover only those for the 548 current widget. Also ensure that all tokens for a widget are 549 trimmed, rather than only the first, which is usually text (report by 550 Lai Zit Seng). 551 + add _FILE_OFFSET_BITS definition in CF_LARGEFILE configure macro. 552 5532007/05/28 554 + revise changes needed to make textbox's searchbox handle ncurses 555 resizing events, e.g., by handling the ERR in that code rather than 556 in dlg_getc() (Debian #423732). 557 5582007/05/14 559 + supply a repaint_text() call in tailbox.c which was bypassed because 560 dlg_getc() now retries on ERR (Debian #423732, cf: 2007/02/27). 561 + modify dlg_getc() to fix regression in 2007/02/27 for use of 562 timeouts, broken by fixes to allow resizing of textbox (patch by 563 Arnaud Fontaine, Debian #418905). 564 + modify dlg_getc() to fix regression in use of TAB for traversal of 565 tailboxbg widgets due to changes for user-definable key bindings 566 (Debian #418917, cf: 2005/12/07). 567 5682007/04/09 569 + add case in dlg_getc() to handle tab for traversing between widgets 570 as in the samples/tailboxbg1 script. Normally the key binding 571 overrides, except for the special case where multiple widgets are 572 available. 573 + add configure --with-libtool-opts, which passes its value to the 574 library creation and linkage passes, e.g., 575 --with-libtool-opts=-static 576 to force the result to be static libraries (prompted by a related 577 request by Santiago Vila). 578 > several fixes based on Coverity scan: 579 + fix memory leak in timebox, calendar widgets if the widget cannot 580 be created. 581 + fix memory leak in dlg_key.c if a user binding's storage cannot 582 be allocated. 583 + fix improperly delinked entry in dlg_del_window(). 584 5852007/03/25 586 + improve mkdirs.sh to ignore error from mkdir if the target directory 587 happens to already exist (suggested by Harald van Dijk). 588 + amend documentation for --gauge to reflect longstanding quirk which 589 allows it to read percentage from the first line after an "XXX" 590 (Debian #415596). 591 + fix makefile dependency so "configure && make install-lib" works. 592 + fix resizing of msgbox; the message was not repainted (Debian 593 #415022, patch by Brian Rolfe). 594 + fix typo in makefile LIB_OBJECT symbol from 2007/02/27 changes. 595 + improve CF_MBSTATE_T by including stdio.h, needed on Tru64 to make 596 the test-compile work. 597 + change makefile to install dialog.3 as part of install-lib rather 598 than install-man (report by Thomas Klausner). 599 + use $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) for installing dialog-config (report by 600 Santiago Vila). 601 6022007/02/27 - release 1.1 603 + mark as "dialog 1.1" 604 + add dialog-config script, which provides applications with compile- 605 and link-information for using the dialog library. 606 + move calls to dlg_trim_string() out of loop in dialog.c, so each 607 string is trimmed once (report by Ivanov Makcim). 608 + modify textbox.c to allow resizing while the search box is presented. 609 This relies on bug-fix in ncurses 5.6 20070224. 610 + use dgettext() rather than gettext() to allow libdialog to use the 611 messages installed for dialog (patch by Vajna Miklos). 612 + modify inputbox to position the cursor initially at the end of any 613 initial-text (request by Klaus Knopper). 614 + add configure --with-valgrind for testing. 615 + add --trace option, for debugging. 616 + add --ascii-lines and --no-lines options to control the way the 617 line-drawing characters are rendered (request by Klaus Knopper). 618 + add --keep-tite option, to override suppression of smcup/rmcup 619 (termcap ti/te) strings which would switch to xterm's alternate 620 screen (Debian #380665). 621 + modify fselect/dselect to use space-character as a completion 622 operator like tab in shells (patch by Yoram Bar Haim). 623 + remove a redundant chunk from checklist.c which reported status a 624 second time if the help-button was pressed but no item-help option 625 was in effect (Andre C Barros). 626 + fix return-status from "dialog --pause" (Debian #409254). 627 + add --mixedform and --mixedgauge dialogs based on patch from 628 Kiran Cherupally. 629 + add some notes on compatibility to the manpage. 630 + add editbox dialog (compatible with Xdialog, Debian #368478). 631 + add dselect dialog (compatible with Xdialog). 632 + remove an incorrect initialization of .text_flen from 2005/12/07 633 changes, which made all fields in a form editable (Debian #404045). 634 + report error and exit if a filename given for the --file option 635 cannot be opened (report by "Dog Walker"). 636 + make --program-prefix, etc., work in configure script, e.g., to make 637 program install as "cdialog". This does not alter the library name. 638 + add install-bin, install-man (and uninstall) rules to makefile. 639 + updates for configure script macros (originally vile, lynx, xterm): 640 AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST, AM_WITH_NLS, CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS, 641 CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_INCLUDE_DIRS, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_MAKEFLAGS, 642 CF_PATH_SYNTAX, CF_SUBDIR_PATH, CF_SUBST, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC, 643 CF_WITH_DMALLOC, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE. 644 + update config.guess, config.sub 645 > adapted fixes from SuSE package (Werner Fink): 646 + add some limit-checks in dlg_draw_shadow(). 647 + make shadows resizable, using new dlg_move_window() in msgbox.c 648 and yesno.c 649 + add dialog_state.input, use this in end_dialog() to decide whether 650 to close pipe inputs and call _exit(), or simply call exit(). 651 + modify dlg_ctl_size() to check if the reason for failure is because 652 shadows were used; retry in that case without shadows. 653 + add signal catcher for SIGSEGV. 654 6552006/02/21 656 + fix logic in split-out dlg_menu() to separate inputmenu and menu 657 handling (report by Auke Kok). 658 6592006/01/26 660 + fix fselect.c to compile properly with Intel compiler and largefile 661 option. 662 + improve configure script checks for curses headers to work around 663 breakage in some packages, e.g., cygwin. 664 + amend correction to menubox, fixes normal menus (Debian #349969). 665 6662006/01/19 667 + completed dialog.3 manpage 668 + modify configure script option --with-gauge to cover all flavors of 669 the gauge (gauge, pause, progressbox). 670 + add progressbox widget, a hybrid of gauge and tailbox (Reznic Valery). 671 + fix a comparison in checklist.c to avoid unneeded arrows when the 672 list happens to fit in the window (patch by Peter Postma). 673 + correct wrapping computation in print_line() from 2005/11/07 changes 674 (report by Barry Kauler). 675 + update sv.po (comments only). 676 http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ 677 + correct logic that passes the callback for menubox to do inputmenu 678 operations from 2005/12/7 changes (report by Reznic Valery). 679 6802006/01/01 681 + add a null-pointer check in dlg_register_buttons(), needed for the 682 tailboxbg (Debian #345524). 683 + fix a few memory leaks reported by valgrind. 684 6852005/12/19 686 + correct return-values of new functions dlg_default_listitem() and 687 dlg_default_formitem() (Debian #344002). 688 + add Swedish translation (Debian #343303, by Daniel Nylander) 689 + begin function-summaries in dialog.3 690 + update config.guess, config.sub 691 6922005/12/07 693 + change license to LGPL. 694 + change naming convention in dlg_colors.h to make it easier to read, 695 and incidentally remove the last chunk of code preventing relicense. 696 + add --passwordform (request by Reznic Valery). 697 + modify pause.c, msgbox.c to work with --help-button. 698 + modify formbox.c, inputbox.c, textbox.c, yesno.c to work with extra 699 button (adapted from Reznic Valery patch). 700 + modify dlg_exit_label(), dlg_yes_labels() and dlg_ok_label() to allow 701 help-button (prompted by Reznic Valery patch). 702 + add zh_CN.po file from 703 http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ 704 + provide alternate interfaces for dialog_checklist(), dialog_menu() 705 and dialog_form(): dlg_checklist(), dlg_menu() and dlg_form() 706 (discussion with Michael Gebetsroither). 707 + add/use dlg_result_key() to allow binding function keys to the 708 buttons. 709 + implement user-definable key bindings in the rc-file. 710 + modify inline cases for KEY_xxx values to use binding tables in new 711 module dlg_keys.c 712 + add several DIALOG_STATE items to the rc file: aspect, 713 separate_widget, tab_len and visit_links 714 + add a tab-adjustment to dlg_print_text() to improve solution from 715 2005/10/30, e.g., in the samples/form* scripts. 716 + fix an off-by-one which made mouse-selection not work for menu items 717 past the first page (GenToo #112024, patch by Harald van Dijk). 718 7192005/11/07 720 + extend dlg_add_result() to allow caller to pass a null pointer 721 for dialog_vars.input_result (Debian #336986). 722 + correct length used for text portion of radio/checkboxes (report by 723 Valentin Stoykov). 724 + modify msgbox, textbox and center_label() to work properly for 725 LANG=bg_BG.utf8 examples by Valentin Stoykov. 726 + modify use of freopen() to work with opaque FILE type on DragonFly 727 (report by Jeremy C Reed). 728 + modify print_line() to compute columns, use that for the call to 729 dlg_print_line(). Fix a few places where strlen() was used instead 730 of dlg_count_columns() (reports by Valentin Stoykov). 731 7322005/10/30 733 + reviewed changes since beginning development in 1999, decided that 734 there are no appreciable portions of original code remaining. 735 Marked sources to correspond. 736 + improve cache performance for inputstr.c using tsearch() rather than 737 a linked-list search (Debian #294853). 738 + remove a special case for darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro. 739 + add ms.po file from 740 http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ 741 + remove an assignment that caused the cursor to appear initially on a 742 form field rather than button (Debian #333506). 743 + modify buttons.c to count columns rather than bytes, fixing case 744 where buttons were laid out incorrectly (report by Valentin Stoykov). 745 + change dlg_print_text() to count columns rather than bytes, fixing 746 case where fewer columns were displayed in menu than expected 747 (report by Valentin Stoykov). 748 7492005/10/05 750 + improve fix for dlg_does_output(), eliminating redundant leading 751 separator. 752 + fill background color for item-help text (report by Peter Postma). 753 + correct interaction between --separate-output and --output-separator 754 broken in 2005/09/11 fix for Debian #326918 (Debian #331440). 755 + update config.guess, config.sub 756 7572005/09/11 758 + undo doubled adjustment for left/right margins when wrapping text 759 for msgbox, gauge and pause (report by Xyba). 760 + correct position of scrolled text in formbox broken by 2004/12/19 761 changes (report by Konrad Jelen). 762 + call dlg_does_output() from dlg_add_result(), ensuring that 763 separators are used when combining widgets such as formbox (report by 764 John Suykerbuyk). 765 + fix marker in textbox.c to make it disappear at the top of the file 766 (report by Patrick J. Volkerding). 767 + fix marker shown in arrows.c for checklists, etc., which was "(+)" 768 where it should have been "(-)" (report/patch by Patrick J. 769 Volkerding). 770 + fix --input-fd (changes in glibc since 2003 made dialog hang on exit 771 due to the way dialog updated stdin). 772 + restore default value (a tab) for --separator or --separate-widget 773 lost in 2003/11/26 changes (Debian #326918). 774 + make several widgets handle SIGWINCH (calendar, checklist, formbox, 775 fselect, inputbox, menubox, pause, tailbox, textbox, timebox). Only 776 msgbox and yesno had been done before. Note that some still have 777 fixed geometry requirements, so they cannot be shrunk below a given 778 threshold. Also, these changes do not address traversal, e.g., for 779 tailboxbg. 780 + make gauge widget handle SIGWINCH with ncurses (Debian #305705). 781 + add configure option to control whether largefile support is 782 compiled-in (Debian #298882). 783 + update eu.po (Debian #312622, patch by Piarres Egana). 784 + add/update po files from 785 http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ 786 fi.po, rw.po, sr.po, tr.po, zh_TW.po 787 + fixes for configure script: 788 + improve script for determining gcc version 789 + improve checks for Intel compiler and related warning options 790 + improve checks for defining _XOPEN_SOURCE (or alternatives) and 791 _POSIX_C_SOURCE 792 + update config.guess, config.sub 793 7942005/03/06 795 + add/update po files from 796 http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ 797 ga.po, it.po 798 + revert last change for da.po; it was from an older version (report by 799 Morten Brix Pedersen). 800 8012005/02/06 802 + modify makefile.in so --disable-echo applies to libtool builds. 803 + corrected malloc size used for editable fields in formbox widget to 804 match the function which updates the corresponding buffer. 805 + modify formbox widget's use of flen to allow negative values to be 806 used to limit the length of the displayed field. 807 + improve description in manpage of output from formbox widget 808 (Debian #292418). 809 + modify formbox widget to allow fields with flen==0 to display 810 (Debian #292417). 811 + improved configure macros CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, to 812 avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin. 813 + fix a typo in inputmenu-stdout found via "sh -n" (report by Steve 814 Grubb). 815 + add/update po files from 816 http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/ 817 ca.po, da.po, hu.po, nl.po, rm.po, ro.po, vi.po 818 8192005/01/16 820 + add --args option to help with debugging scripts. 821 + adapted some new po files from Debian package for whiptail: ar.po, 822 bg.po, gl.po, hi.po, hr.po, mg.po, mk.po, ro.po, sq.po and zh_TW.po 823 + update da.po (Morten Brix Pedersen). 824 + add configure check for Intel 8.0 compiler, to set appropriate 825 warning options. 826 + update config.guess, config.sub 827 8282004/12/22 829 + correct a typo in 2004/12/19 changes which caused width of multibyte 830 characters to be incorrectly computed in some locales. 831 + modify --version and --help options to write consistently to the 832 standard output (report by Santiago Vila). 833 + modify tailboxbg by resetting tty modes at the point where it forks a 834 process to update the screen, rather than waiting until that process 835 exits. This improves user feedback by making it apparent that dialog 836 is no longer processing input after that point (Redhat #142538). 837 + minor updates to some .po files using Babel Fish, comparing with lynx. 838 + update es.po (Santiago Vila). 839 + work around bug in NetBSD 1.6 curses which seems to be confused by 840 reusing color pairs with different video attributes. The problem 841 does not appear in NetBSD 2.0 curses (but its headers do not provide 842 version info, so color-caching is not available for that 843 configuration). 844 + modify pause and gauge widgets to ensure that reverse-video progress 845 bar is visible when the background is reversed, e.g., using the 846 default non-color attributes. 847 + use chtype rather than attr_t, to build with old Solaris curses, 848 used in save/restore operation from 2004/09/20. 849 8502004/12/19 851 + add pause-widget (patch by Yura Kalinichenko). 852 + modify exit-code returned on selecting the "Help"-button when the 853 --item-help option is given. Previously this returned the same code 854 as "OK", since it combines output for "OK" with the help status. It 855 now returns the help-code, but this can be overridden by setting the 856 environment variable $DIALOG_ITEM_HELP (reports by Erika Pacholleck 857 and Sebastian Muesch). 858 + modify formbox widget so input-length is not limited to field-length 859 (report by David Liebermann). 860 + localize the label on the search box for textbox widget (report by 861 Erika Pacholleck). 862 + correct usage message detail for fselect, which listed an extra 863 parameter (Debian #284008). 864 + add include for <sys/select.h> in ui_getc.c to build with QNX 4.25 865 using Watcom 10.6 (patch by Len Meakin). 866 + modify behavior when no locale (or POSIX locale) is set to allow 867 legacy interpretation of Latin-1 character set (Debian #284795). 868 8692004/11/18 870 + correct computation of column width for menubox/checkbox tags, for 871 multicolumn characters, e.g., the menubox-utf8 example. 872 + correct calls to wbkgdset(), which set the background attribute but 873 not the corresponding character (ncurses uses blank if none is given). 874 + improve configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE. 875 + improved limit-computation in show_message() to allow for scrolling 876 very long messages. 877 + adjust scrolling logic in msgbox to account for the one-line offset 878 used by the logic which wraps text in a box, thus avoiding leaving 879 an extra blank line (report by Maxim Sobolev). 880 8812004/09/20 882 + add samples/whiptail.rc 883 + add samples/dialog.py (noting that a later version of this exists 884 as pythondialog, but this is relatively self-contained). Modified 885 the script to accept the $DIALOG environment variable like the other 886 sample scripts, to specify the path of the program to use. 887 + modify the install rule for header-files so the autoconf names in 888 dlg_config.h (and corresponding usage in dialog.h, etc), are altered 889 from "HAVE_xxx" to "DLG_HAVE_xxx", etc. 890 + add a check for getenv("HOME") in rc.c 891 + add a call to end_dialog() in signal_handler for tailboxbg (from 892 patch by Werner Fink). 893 + correct initialization in checklist and radiobox for --default-item, 894 scrolling as needed. 895 + modify --visit-items option so that it puts the cursor initially on 896 the list (in menubox, checklist and radiobox), accepts abbreviations 897 for the buttons when the cursor is on the button-row, and otherwise 898 (when --visit-items is given) abbreviations apply only to the list 899 (report by Erika Pacholleck). 900 + modify a few widgets (inputbox, textbox, yesno) to beep on unexpected 901 input. 902 + modify some msgbox widget to accept abbreviations of its button 903 label, for consistency with other widgets (request by Erika 904 Pacholleck). 905 + corrected logic of dlg_char_to_button(), making it check only the 906 first uppercase letter in each button label rather than all uppercase 907 letters (report by Erika Pacholleck, cf: 2003/09/10). 908 + improved description of --clear and --keep-window options (adapted 909 from Erika Pacholleck). 910 + move discussion of --beep and --beep-signal options to Obsolete 911 Options section of manpage, remove these from the help-message 912 (report by Erika Pacholleck). 913 + bracket extern's in dialog.h with C++ extern "C" declaration, in case 914 the library is used from a C++ application. 915 + modify inputmenu examples to allow ESC to cancel the script. 916 + modify inputmenu widget to cancel edit on a TAB or ESC. 917 + modify inputmenu widget to use the same color scheme for the editable 918 text as the inputbox widget. 919 + modify samples/killall to work around differences in "cut" versions. 920 + use the color-caching from the \Z logic when loading the ".rc" file, 921 thereby reducing the number of color pairs required, and making it 922 less likely that deriving color pairs for drawing arrows on a given 923 background will run out of colors. 924 + save/restore window attributes in dlg_draw_arrows() and similar 925 functions, to allow widgets to draw arrows using the widget's 926 background rather than a common/fixed value (request by Erika 927 Pacholleck). 928 + modify textbox widget so the down-arrow will be hidden when at the 929 end of the file. (Modifying the up-arrow to be hidden is harder - 930 will do this when implementing scrollbars). 931 + correct off-by-one in fselect.c which left down-arrows showing at 932 the bottom of directory- and file-lists (report by Erika Pacholleck). 933 + improve display of percentages by omitting blanks where lines should 934 be shown. 935 + modify logic for \Z escapes to make those that set video attributes 936 not clear the colors (report by Erika Pacholleck). 937 + modify logic for \Z escapes to allow foreground and background 938 colors to be the same, provided that bold attribute is set. 939 Also improved the logic for choosing a background color when the 940 foreground and background are the same (report by Erika Pacholleck). 941 + updated configure script macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, ensuring that the 942 _POSIX_C_SOURCE value is defined with a specific value (bug report 943 originally for lynx). 944 + fix configure script so that po/makefile is generated properly when 945 the configure --srcdir --enable-nls options are used. 946 + modify makefile.in to allow build/install from another directory, 947 i.e., using configure --srcdir (patch by Mike Castle). 948 + updated da.po (Debian #262587, Morten Brix Pedersen). 949 + modify some sample scripts to avoid using grave quotes nested within 950 double quotes with multiple file redirection, which does not work 951 with Solaris /bin/sh (report/analysis by Eric Haller). 952 + check for end of string immediately after a \Z escape to avoid 953 displaying the null terminator as a ^@ (report by Erika Pacholleck). 954 > patches by Erika Pacholleck: 955 + modify calendar.c, fselect.c and timebox.c to use color scheme like 956 other lists, using menubox colors rather than dialog colors. 957 + correct charset for po/de.po, translate messages for "Help" and 958 "Rename". 959 + omit parentheses around percentage in textbox.c 960 + correct a few mismatched attributes, e.g., searchbox_attr in textbox.c, 961 percentage in msgbox.c, 962 963 9642004/07/31 965 + add test scripts to cover zero-width column case. 966 + remove limit checks from checklist.c and menubox.c (cf: 2004/07/28), 967 since some scripts use zero-width columns (Debian #262411 and report 968 by Kyle Sallee). 969 9702004/07/29 971 + modify msgbox.c to only reserve space for percentage shown as part 972 of scrollable text for the msgbox widget. This makes infobox look 973 as it did before 2004/06/06 changes (report by Vinesh Christopher) 974 9752004/07/28 976 + remove redundant calls to wtimeout() from widgets since wtimeout() 977 is properly called from ui_getc() where it is controlled by the 978 --timeout option (bug report by juanjo). 979 + add limit checks in checklist.c and menubox.c for very narrow screens 980 (prompted by Steve Grubb patch). 981 + initialize step in dlg_draw_buttons() in case it is used to draw 982 a vertical list of buttons (prompted by Steve Grubb patch). 983 > fixes by Steve Grubb: 984 + correct logic in checklist.c (cf: 2003/11/26 changes) which turned 985 quoting on unnecessarily for radiobox, breaking some old scripts. 986 + increase size of array in dlg_ok_labels() to avoid overrun if extra 987 and help buttons are used (cf: 2002/06/12 changes). 988 + initialize fkey variable in menubox.c and textbox.c (cf: 2003/07/12). 989 9902004/07/21 - release 1.0 991 + minor updates for configure script, i.e., CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, 992 CF_NCURSES_LIBS macros. 993 + update config.guess, config.sub 994 + add nl.po (Jacques Weewer). 995 9962004/06/06 997 + add --visit-items option, which allows the user to tab to the item 998 list in the checklist/radiobox and menubox widgets (request by 999 Ari Moisio). 1000 + use wide-character line-drawing for up/down arrows when configured 1001 for wide-characters, gives better results with uxterm. 1002 + limit the number of times a --file option can be used, to prevent 1003 runaway recursion if a --file option is embedded within a file which 1004 is included. 1005 + improve discussion of wrapping in the manpage (Debian #251937). 1006 + modify msgbox to allow it to scroll vertically like textbox (Debian 1007 #233276). This only works with ncurses. 1008 + implement $DIALOGVARS environment variable to apply common options to 1009 dialog_vars when it is reset before processing other common options. 1010 + add --single-quoted option to control whether output is double-quoted 1011 with '"' or single-quoted with single-quotes. 1012 + revert the default quoting behavior of checklists to use 1013 double-quotes (report by Mark K Post regarding Slackware scripts). 1014 + add eu.po (Basque) (Piarres Beobide Egaa). 1015 + add ca.po (Catalan) (Jordi Mallach). 1016 10172004/04/21 1018 + add a call to flushinp() to init_dialog(), to discard any typeahead 1019 before dialog is invoked (Debian #244746). 1020 + correct dlg_match_char() function, which was broken during rewrite 1021 to support wide-characters (Debian #244777). 1022 + improved ru.po, uses UTF-8 charset (Leonid Kanter, Redhat #119200). 1023 + correct position of shadow drawn for dialogs, which appeared to work 1024 for most versions of curses (other than NetBSD) but would have been 1025 visible for certain color schemes (discussion with Julian Coleman). 1026 + correct loop-exit in longest_word() (Tomas Heredia, forwarded by 1027 Santiago Vila). 1028 + add cy.po (Welsh) (Dafydd Harries). 1029 10302004/03/16 1031 + modify quoting of results to use single-quote rather than double 1032 quote, and ensure that results containing a quote or backslash 1033 character are escaped (report by Florent Rougon) 1034 + remove an incorrect comparison from checklist which made cursor 1035 stick on the last line, from 2004/03/01 changes. 1036 10372004/03/14 1038 + add a dependency to install library if "--with-libtool" is used. 1039 + add manpage for the library. 1040 + add "--file" 1041 + modify formbox.c to support "--help-status" like menubox. 1042 + modify checklist.c to add item name to the "HELP" string when 1043 "--help-button" is used and no --item-help option is given (Debian 1044 #236841, report/patch by Jorg Sommer). 1045 + rename colors.h to dlg_colors.h, install that when the library is 1046 installed. 1047 + add copyright notice to usage ("--help") message. 1048 + correct a missing bounds check for mouse-clicks in menubox (prompted 1049 by Debian #233044). 1050 + updated several configure-script macros: AM_GNU_GETTEXT, 1051 AM_WITH_NLS, CF_OUR_MESSAGES, CF_PROG_EXT, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC, 1052 CF_WITH_DMALLOC, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE. 1053 10542004/03/01 1055 + improve layout of calendar widget to allow for very long button 1056 labels (report by Santiago Vila). 1057 + correct logic for $DIALOG_TTY, broken in 2003/11/30. The environment 1058 variable must evaluate to a nonzero integer (report by Florent 1059 Rougon). 1060 + document interaction between "--default-no" and "--no-cancel" options 1061 in manpage (Debian #223488). 1062 + change configure script to use autoconf 2.52+patch, to work around 1063 issues with Estonian locale (report by Seemant Kulleen). 1064 + add uk.po (Ukrainian) (Debian #232441). 1065 + make --default-item apply to checklist widget (Debian #225255). 1066 + correct a missing check for --item-help when --help-status was given 1067 for checklist (Debian #232921). 1068 + correct a missing bounds check for mouse-clicks in checklist (Debian 1069 #233044). 1070 + update config.guess, config.sub 1071 10722003/12/07 1073 + correct infinite loop in yesno widget when "--defaultno" option is 1074 combined with "--no-cancel" (Debian #223077). 1075 10762003/11/30 1077 + suppress double-quotes added for "--help-status" option if the 1078 string does not contain any special characters. 1079 10802003/11/26 1081 + add samples/sourcemage.rc, for comparison with slackware.rc 1082 + add "--insecure" option (request by Sean Mathews (DrWho@f34r.com)). 1083 + make "--defaultno" option apply to widgets which use OK/Cancel 1084 buttons as well (Debian #209030). 1085 + improve documentation of exit-codes for each widget in the manpage 1086 (Debian #217926). 1087 + add option "--keep-window" to suppress repainting after completing 1088 each widget (request by Ingo van Lil). 1089 + add options "--yes-label" and "--no-label" to allow override of the 1090 "Yes" and "No" strings (request by Christoph Zwerschke). 1091 + add option "--help-status" to allow script to restore a checklist 1092 or radiolist after processing an item-help string (Debian #209031). 1093 + modify width-calculation for non-formatted text to ensure it is 1094 wide enough for the longest word in the text (patch by Andrew Gaul). 1095 + modify dlg_index_columns() to count a newline as a single cell rather 1096 than 2 for the normal curses case. This fixes an off-by-one for 1097 the text-justification, shown in screen 2 of msgbox1 sample script. 1098 + fix dlg_char_to_button(); 2003/09/10 changes made it incorrectly 1099 ignore case of the labels. 1100 + change calendar's use of arrow keys so they are (as before 2002/06/22) 1101 interpreted within the day-grid as movement within that grid (request 1102 by David Anders). 1103 + correct missing initialization of last_getc variable in dlg_getc() 1104 (report/analysis by Victor Wodecki). 1105 + modify main program to make 1106 dialog --no-shadow --print-maxsize 1107 work. Normally dialog prints the screen size after subtracting the 1108 area reserved for shadows, but some applications may need the actual 1109 screen size (Debian #213424). 1110 + several related changes (Debian #213425): 1111 + separate the examples using "--stdout" and "--output-fd" from the 1112 normal usage examples. 1113 + add "--input-fd" option, provide a sample of its use. 1114 + modify init_dialog() to use initscr() unless a "--stdout" option 1115 was used. Some scripts relied on the coincidence that redirecting 1116 standard output from dialog would "work". Before this change 1117 init_dialog() assumed that redirected standard output was 1118 synonymous with "--stdout" option (not the intended behavior). 1119 + modify command-line parsing to look for "--stdout" and "--stderr" 1120 options first, allowing only one. 1121 + add a check for an environment variable $DIALOG_TTY which provides 1122 the older behavior, i.e., try to open the terminal directly if 1123 stdout is redirected. 1124 + interface changes, to make libdialog simpler to use: 1125 + rename all of the internal functions to begin with "dlg_", but 1126 provide compatibility with older names if the application defines 1127 __DIALOG_OLD_NAMES__. 1128 + add dialog_version() function, and corresponding DIALOG_VERSION and 1129 DIALOG_PATCHDATE definitions to dlg_config.h 1130 + eliminate remaining global variables such as screen_initialized in 1131 favor of dialog_state and dialog_vars. 1132 + move some data such as dialog_vars.output to dialog_state, since 1133 they are normally not reset between widgets. 1134 + change interfaces of dialog_yesno() and dialog_checklist() to use 1135 dialog_state.defaultno and dialog_vars.separate_output, making it 1136 simpler and more consistent. 1137 + improve configure script and related definitions: 1138 + add "--with-libtool" option to provide shared library support by 1139 libtool. 1140 + rename generated "config.h" to "dlg_config.h", so it can be 1141 installed without naming conflict. Added "dlg_config.h" to 1142 install-lib rule. 1143 + modify configure script and makefile to use EXEEXT and OBJEXT. 1144 + add "--enable-widec" option to control whether wide-curses features 1145 are compiled-in, rather than check for the existence of those in 1146 the curses library. This allows building with HPUX curses, which 1147 has abandoned legacy features while not quite supporting X/Open 1148 curses. 1149 + add configure check for getbegx(), etc., which are not provided on 1150 all platforms. 1151 + update config.guess, config.sub 1152 11532003/10/02 1154 + update hu.po (Arpad Biro). 1155 + revert part of the 2003/08/18 change to "--stdout" option. Using 1156 stderr for screen output does not work well on several platforms 1157 since stdout's settings are affected (report by Kent Robotti). 1158 11592003/09/24 1160 + modify tailbox to allow it to display files with arbitrarily long 1161 lines. 1162 + fix an infinite loop in tailbox, broken when making interface changes 1163 to dlg_getc() (report by Ingo van Lil). 1164 + amend fix for "--and-widget" to not treat "---" as an option (report 1165 by Kent Robotti). 1166 + updated es.po (Santiago Vila). 1167 11682003/09/10 1169 + correct "RENAMED" result from inputmenu widget, which did not reset 1170 the result buffer, and did not account for scroll-offset (Debian 1171 #209336). 1172 + modify button, menu and checklist logic that matches a character to 1173 the beginning of a text field to support wide-characters (completes 1174 Debian #195674). 1175 + modify configure script to not use "head -1". 1176 11772003/08/30 1178 + modify searchbox popup in textbox widget so one can simply press 1179 return on an empty input to cancel the popup. 1180 + modify error reporting to avoid clearing screen if a problem is 1181 found in the ".rc" file. 1182 + add color/attribute combinations for form widget (based on patch by 1183 Reznic Valery). 1184 + combine rc-file colors, attribute- and color-tables to obtain a 1185 single table for color values, which requires less work to add new 1186 entries. 1187 + modify fselect widget to make back-tab work again, since it was 1188 broken by the rewrite of dlg_edit_string(). 1189 + modify howmany_tags() so it will quit searching when it finds any 1190 option, not only "--and-widget" (Debian #206636). 1191 + correct call to dlg_print_text() in print_line(), which did not 1192 account for hidden characters (report/patch by David Poole). 1193 + modify print_button() to display properly if locale defines ok/cancel 1194 or yes/no buttons that contain multibyte characters. 1195 11962003/08/20 1197 + correct an indexing error when deleting from the end of a line using 1198 KEY_DC; it happened to work on Linux because malloc() clears memory 1199 like calloc(). 1200 + add '\r' to case statement where '\n' is translated to KEY_ENTER to 1201 work around defect in NetBSD curses. 1202 + modify configure check for getparyx(), etc., which are implemented 1203 by NetBSD curses as functions rather than macros. 1204 + correct configure check for term.h, which may be <ncursesw/term.h> 1205 if ncursesw development headers are installed, but not ncurses 1206 development headers. Or they may not coincide (Debian #206287). 1207 12082003/08/18 1209 + modify checklist.c and menubox.c to display tags properly if they 1210 contain wide-characters. 1211 + better solution for initializing curses when "--stdout" option is 1212 used, e.g., use stderr for the output if it is a tty. Also correct 1213 the error handling, so dialog exits with an error if it cannot 1214 find a way to do output (Debian #205509). 1215 + modify sample scripts to use consistent definition of $DIALOG 1216 (Debian #205508). 1217 + add UTF-8 examples inputbox6-utf8, inputbox6-utf8 (from Tomohiro 1218 Kubota, Debian #195674). 1219 + modify print_line() to work with wide-characters, e.g., so it handles 1220 wrapping for double-width characters. 1221 + cache results from multibyte character indices, speeds up cursor 1222 movement. 1223 + modify form widget to support scrolling and mouse-selection. 1224 + add form widget (based on patch by Reznic Valery). 1225 + correct mouse-handling for inputmenu widget. 1226 + corrections to menu.c: location of clearing operation, and height of 1227 rows in code for older ncurses versions (patch by Reznic Valery). 1228 + improve logic that compensates for xterm's alternate-screen by 1229 cancelling the rmcup/smcup strings after the rmcup has been issued. 1230 That ensures that dialog will not clear the screen on exit (report 1231 by Javier Kohen). 1232 + modify initialization between widgets to retain the values for the 1233 --aspect, --separate-widget and --tab-len options. 1234 + add --separator as an alias for --separate-widget (compatible with 1235 Xdialog). 1236 + correct handling of Xdialog's --icon and --wmclass options, whose 1237 parameter was not ignored. 1238 + correct logic for --separate-widget so its string is written before 1239 each output, rather than only for --and-widget option (report by 1240 Javier Kohen). 1241 + improve limit-check in center_label() for buttons.c (report by Tor 1242 Vidar Havstad). 1243 + correct layout of --menu widget, which reduced display width due to 1244 logic for --inputmenu being applied whether or not that configuration 1245 was used (reports by Javier Kohen, Dimitar Zhekov and MAL 1246 <mal@komcept.com>). Fixes Debian #201215. 1247 + modify gauge widget to support --begin option (Hans-Joachim Baader). 1248 + updated pl.po (Jaroslaw Swierczynski). 1249 + hide cursor while painting gauge. 1250 + add auto-sizing logic to gauge widget (reports by Javier Kohen and 1251 Robert Schubert). 1252 12532003/07/20 1254 + rewrote inputstr.c, allowing it to enter and display wide-characters. 1255 Some nonprinting characters such as control/B can be edited as well. 1256 + modify timebox to allow user to type numbers into the fields. 1257 + change interfaces of dlg_getc(), mouse_wgetch(), etc., to add 1258 parameter that returns whether the result is really a function-key. 1259 This is needed to work with wide-character curses. 1260 + correct computation of week-number in calendar widget (report by 1261 Heiner Lamann). 1262 + updated configure script macros: 1263 + suppress -Winline with gcc 3.3, since it is broken. 1264 + fix caching bug in CF_UTF8_LIB 1265 + improved script for CF_BUNDLED_INTL. 1266 + update config.guess, config.sub 1267 12682003/03/08 1269 + add null-pointer checks to some malloc calls which were overlooked. 1270 + correct logic in dlg_add_result(), which did not copy content of 1271 non-allocated buffer to the first allocation (report by Daniel 1272 Dupont). 1273 12742003/03/02 1275 + correct an uninitialized value in dlg_add_result() (Debian #182683). 1276 12772003/01/30 1278 + corrected print_line(), which subtracted the margin twice from the 1279 right-limit, making a string wrap unnecessarily (Debian #168823). 1280 + correct initial limit-check for arrows in checklist.c, which used 1281 the wrong variable, showing the bottom arrow when it should not 1282 (Debian #168823). 1283 + modify driver to always call show_result(), to simplify updates. 1284 + fix several memory leaks, important if dialog is run with a large 1285 number of widgets (report by albert.veli@telia.com forwarded by 1286 Santiago Vila). 1287 + check if the screen output is actually to the terminal before trying 1288 to suppress xterm's alternate screen mode (see 2000/01/18) (report by 1289 David Oliveira). 1290 + use dialog_vars.input_result consistently to return the text which is 1291 printed after a widget completes. In many cases, dialog now 1292 allocates enough space to hold the text, rather than use a fixed 1293 buffer. The checklist widget was writing directly to the output to 1294 avoid limits of the fixed buffer. 1295 + modify dialog.c to also write dialog_vars.input_result if the 1296 Help-button was pressed (request by Amon Ott). 1297 + add hu.po (Arpad Biro). 1298 + update fr.po, pt.po, pt_BR.po to add strings for "Help" button (patch 1299 by Frederic L W Meunier). 1300 + fix off-by-one error in menu.c, checklist.c (reported by 1301 Tomasz Wasiak 2002/09/15 and others: 1302 Andrew Gaul 2002/11/12, 1303 Tobias C Rittweiler 2002/11/19, 1304 Arpad Biro 2003/01/21). 1305 + updated configure script, improving checks for ncurses in various 1306 locations, updated NLS script to match lynx. Added --with-curses-dir 1307 option. 1308 > Tobias C Rittweiler: 1309 + make ifdef in mousewget.c consistent with usage in dialog.h 1310 + use beep() rather than flash() in dlg_edit_string(), for consistency 1311 with the other functions. 1312 + change order of buttons so extra button falls between Ok/Cancel. 1313 + fix so "dialog --print-maxsize" exits from curses. 1314 + add --inputmenu option. 1315 13162002/08/14 1317 + modify checklist.c and menubox.c to treat the extra button like the 1318 "Ok" button by making dialog print the chosen items (request by 1319 Tobias C Rittweiler). 1320 + add examples checklist6 and menubox6 to illustrate the --colors 1321 option. 1322 + implement -colors option, which allows one to highlight words in the 1323 titles and most text areas with color or video attributes (adapted 1324 from patch by Tobias C Rittweiler). 1325 + add examples inputbox4, inputbox5 to illustrate how to use the 1326 --output-fd option, and how to use dialog without any temporary 1327 file at all. 1328 + add --output-fd option (Debian #153984). 1329 + documented vi-style keys for calendar, textbox widgets in manpage. 1330 13312002/06/22 1332 + improve mouse handling, e.g., for up/down scrolling in calendar, 1333 checklist, etc. 1334 + add --extra-button and --extra-label options (adapted from patch 1335 by Tobias C Rittweiler). 1336 + correct displayed cursor position in inputbox when returning to the 1337 input area after traversing the buttons with tabs, etc. 1338 + add left/right arrows for traversal in calendar and timebox dialogs. 1339 + implement two new functions dlg_next_ok_buttonindex() and 1340 dlg_prev_ok_buttonindex(), using these to hide details about the 1341 traversal over buttons in several widgets. 1342 + modify checklist.c and menubox.c to verify if both --help-button and 1343 --item-help are specified before assuming that selecting the help 1344 button should cause the "HELP {item-help}" message to be printed 1345 (reported by Marcel Ritter). 1346 + modify init_dialog() to work around HP's broken tty driver (report by 1347 John Mudd). Specifically, the problem is that when opening /dev/tty 1348 directly (to support the --stdout option), the terminal does not 1349 change to raw mode. The workaround opens /dev/tty only as needed; 1350 the --stdout option does not work on HPUX but otherwise dialog works. 1351 + updated el.po (patch by kromJx <kromJx@crosswinds.net>). 1352 13532002/05/19 - release 0.9b 1354 + add --no-collapse option to allow one to retain tabs and repeated 1355 blanks in a message box (request by Roberto Simoni). 1356 + use DLG_EXIT_ESC constant rather than -1's in several places. This 1357 has the effect of changing some exit-with-error cases to denote that 1358 the exit was because ESC was pressed (patch by Diego Alvarez, 1359 forward by Santiago Vila). 1360 + bump package version to 0.9b (with patch-date, as usual). 1361 + add --exit-label option (request by Roberto Simoni). 1362 + updated de.po to correct translation for "Cancel" (from Michael 1363 Piefel, Debian #146402). 1364 + use definitions from autoconf macro AC_HEADER_TIME to ensure that 1365 time() is properly prototyped. 1366 + update pl.po, adding translation for "Help" (patch by Jaroslaw 1367 Swierczynski <swiergot@hacking.pl>). 1368 + update COPYING file, to reflect address change of FSF (reported by 1369 Santiago Vila). 1370 + update some configuration script macros: CF_CHECK_CACHE, 1371 CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS, CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_MAKEFLAGS. 1372 + correct misuse of "$with_XXX" variables in the configure script, 1373 which prevented configuration against curses library as opposed to 1374 ncurses. 1375 + update config.guess, config.sub 1376 13772002/03/09 (a) 1378 + modify geometry of samples/fselect scripts to allow them to run in 1379 a 24x80 screen (report/patch by Santiago Vila). 1380 + correct exit-code for menubox.c when Cancel is pressed. This was 1381 unintentionally altered when adding --help-button (reported by 1382 Patrick J Volkerding) 1383 13842002/03/09 1385 + add --timeout option, which forces the program to exit with an error 1386 if no user response is given within the specified number of seconds 1387 (request by <andrew@argoncorp.com>). 1388 + modify calendar widget to allow day/month/year values to default to 1389 the current date (request by <Ron.Perrella@bellsouth.com>). 1390 + modify display of buttons in checklist.c and menubox.c to handle the 1391 case where the button label is empty (Debian #134388). 1392 + extended logic for ok/cancel/help to make this work with checklist 1393 widget. 1394 + revert pt_BT.po, apply changes to pt.po (report by Frederic L W 1395 Meunier). 1396 > several changes from Stanislav Ievlev: 1397 + add options --help-button and --help-label to make menubox display a 1398 third button which can be used to return an exit code causing the 1399 calling script to show extended help information. 1400 + use home/end keys in input string-editing, e.g., inputbox. 1401 + add option --max-input to limit length of string returned by inputbox 1402 and other widgets which allow the user to edit a string. 1403 14042001/12/02 1405 + add --ok-label and --cancel-label options (request by Kyle Sallee). 1406 + correct usage message for --fselect option (reported by Patrick J 1407 Volkerding). 1408 + add samples/debian.rc, for comparison with slackware.rc 1409 + corrected samples/slackware.rc, which was just the compiled-in 1410 default values (patch by Patrick J Volkerding). 1411 + modify search rule for rc-file to add a global rc file /etc/dialogrc 1412 (patch by Patrick J Volkerding). 1413 + updated pt_BR.po with modified entries for fselect.c (Frederic L W 1414 Meunier). 1415 + add pl.po (Swiergot <swiergot@l02.ids.czest.pl>). 1416 14172001/11/11 1418 + modify command-line parsing to allow a "--" argument to act as an 1419 escape, so the next argument is not recognized as an option if it 1420 begins with "--". This is apparently one of popt's undocumented 1421 features, upon which some Debian scripts depend (Debian #116642). 1422 + add da.po (Morten Brix Pedersen <morten@wtf.dk>). 1423 + add an install-strip rule to makefile, changing the normal install 1424 rule to not strip the installed executable (based on discussion with 1425 Santiago Vila). 1426 + initialize my_output variable if user cannot open /dev/tty, e.g., if 1427 su'd to another user (patch by Richard Braakman (<dark@ssh.com>), Debian 1428 #117177). 1429 + add configure option --with-ncursesw, to allow configure/build with 1430 wide-character version of ncurses. 1431 14322001/10/14 1433 + add option --ignore, to make dialog be ignore options that it does 1434 not recognize. 1435 + add option --trim, to trim literal newlines and repeated spaces from 1436 text that will be displayed. Add samples/msgbox2, which is the 1437 same as msgbox1, but using --trim (cf: change for Debian #102942). 1438 + minor correction to attributes for buttons.c to use active_attr on 1439 the right-side of a button. 1440 + add a sample dialog rc-file slackware.rc based on diffs in hdasetup 1441 package at 1442 http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/slackware/slackware/source/a/hdsetup/ 1443 (discussion with Frederic L W Meunier). 1444 + modify dialog.pl to avoid using a statically-named tempfile, allowing 1445 multiple processes to use this script (patch by James Ranson 1446 (<euclid80@yahoo.com>), Debian #110609). 1447 + correct fprintf() call in j_menu() function, i.e., "--menu" option, 1448 which did not guard against expanding '%' embedded in the parameters 1449 (Stavros Chatzistefanidis <sxatz@yahoo.com>). 1450 + add et.po (Ivar Smolin <okul@trenet.ee>). 1451 + update fr.po (Frederic L W Meunier). 1452 + modify to allow scripts to alter the exit codes, mainly to 1453 distinguish ESC and ERROR exits. This is done by setting a shell 1454 variable such as DIALOG_ESC to a new value (request by Petr Vandrovec 1455 (<vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>), Debian #99264) 1456 14572001/08/27 1458 + use VPATH in makefile to support build with configure --srcdir, if 1459 the make program supports that. Note that samples/install/makefile 1460 is not generated, due to awkward limitation of autoconf script 1461 (reported by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>). 1462 + add po/pt_BR.po (Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>). 1463 + correct sense of --enable/--disable shown in configure --help (report 1464 by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>). 1465 + correct logic for --clear option, broken in 2000/07/02 (fixes Debian 1466 #110254). 1467 14682001/08/11 1469 + porting fixes to work on AIX: flush output to work around bug in 1470 curses library, use ./killall in scripts to avoid conflict with 1471 AIX program by that name. 1472 + modify dlg_trim_string() to retain literal newlines if the string 1473 does not contain "\\n" strings, and to retain leading blanks on the 1474 resulting lines, for compatibility with older scripts (Debian 1475 #102942). 1476 + add charset specification to cs.po 1477 + change dates in CHANGES to consistent format, add el.po for Greek 1478 (patch by kromJx <kromJx@crosswinds.net>). 1479 + eliminate static globals (bss, data) from modules rc, tailbox, 1480 textbox using better parameter-passing convention, and const. 1481 + cleanup temporary files in a few of the sample scripts. 1482 + rewrote tailboxbg using select() rather than fork(), thereby 1483 eliminating lock-files. Only one process should be trying to display 1484 on the screen at any given time. 1485 + add error check to ensure that numeric parameters are really numbers. 1486 + correct off-by-one in error messages reporting too-few or too-many 1487 tokens for a given option (reported by George Mirchev). 1488 + fix typo in manpage, "textboxbg" where "tailboxbg" was meant 1489 (reported by George Mirchev <la@mail.techno-link.com>). 1490 + use DLG_EXIT_xxx symbols consistently for all exit codes. 1491 + updated es.po (patch by Santiago Vila). 1492 + updates for some configure script macros from lynx: CF_MAKEFLAGS, 1493 CF_NCURSES_VERSION, CF_PROG_EXT. 1494 + fixes to compile if <term.h> is included, e.g., when building with 1495 AIX curses (report by Suzi Dowson <Suzi.Dowson@capgemini.co.uk>). 1496 14972001/05/27 1498 + updated dialog.pot 1499 + modify fselect.c to work with autosize, i.e., given height and width 1500 zero (report by Martin Povolny). 1501 + add a null-pointer check in justify_text(), needed by fselect.c 1502 + add several more options which dialog can safely ignore, from 1503 Xdialog 2.0.2 1504 + refinements for configure macros checking for $CPPFLAGS, from lynx. 1505 + update config.guess, config.sub to match autoconf 2.50 1506 > Martin Povolny <martin@solnet.cz>: 1507 + add cs.po 1508 + use nl_langinfo() to customize names for day-of-week, and month 1509 15102001/05/11 1511 > Vincent Stemen <dialog@AdvancedResearch.org>: 1512 Fixed dialog.c to not pass menu items through dlg_trim_string(). 1513 Stripping extra spaces out of the menu items broke some of my 1514 scripts by altering the string that it compared to know which menu 1515 item was selected. There should be no need to do justification on 1516 the menu items, which are always one line, anyway. 1517 15182001/04/29 1519 > Vincent Stemen <dialog@AdvancedResearch.org>: 1520 + rewrote the text justification code to be able to have preformatted 1521 text in the prompts with extra spaces like the older versions of 1522 dialog. If there are "\n" strings in the text, then extra spaces are 1523 preserved. Lines are always wrapped on word boundaries. 1524 + fixed --cr-wrap to break lines on '\n' (newline) characters and not 1525 add an extra line at the top and bottom of the text. It now works 1526 as the manual says it should. 1527 + it is no longer necessary to use "\n\" at the end of lines to escape 1528 the '\n' character. "\n" now works. However, the old way, "\n\" 1529 still works. 1530 + the fixes involved the following changes: 1531 - rewrote dlg_trim_string() to recognize preformatted text (know 1532 when not to strip extra spaces) and to pay attention to --cr-wrap. 1533 - rewrote justify_text() which now calls a new function in util.c, 1534 print_line(), to print each line and end it on a word boundary. 1535 - modified real_auto_size() to call a new function 1536 auto_size_preformated() to calculate the box size for preformatted 1537 text. 1538 - removed skip_blanks() and skip_text() since they are not used by 1539 the new justify_text(). 1540 - modified dialog.c to not call dlg_trim_string() on title strings 1541 so that titles retain their spaces. 1542 + modified the following demo files in the sample directory: 1543 - inputbox 1544 changed all "\n\" strings to "\n" to demonstrate the extra 1545 backslash is no longer needed. 1546 - inputbox1 1547 removed all the "\n\" strings from the end of the lines to 1548 properly demonstrate --cr-wrap. 1549 - msgbox1 1550 this sample was using "--aspect 9 --cr-wrap". Rewrote it to 1551 properly demonstrate --aspect. 9 is already dialog's default 1552 aspect ratio. It now creates several dialogs in sequence, 1553 demonstrating aspect ratios of 9, 12 and 6 and properly 1554 demonstrates --cr-wrap. 1555 + made the following changes to the manual (dialog.1). 1556 - rewrote the description of --aspect to be more understandable. 1557 - rewrote the description of --cr-wrap to be more correct and more 1558 detailed. It did say, "Otherwise, the text for each dialog will 1559 display on a single line.", which is not correct. It wraps the 1560 text to fit in the box. 1561 > T.Dickey: 1562 + use logic from menubox dialog in checklist to handle autosizing when 1563 list height is given as zero (fixes problem reported by Eric Veltman 1564 <eveltman@baan.nl>). 1565 + modify checklist and menubox dialogs to check for too-wide data, and 1566 truncate one or both of the name and text fields to fit (also 1567 reported by Eric Veltman). 1568 + corrected a few items from Vincent's patch: 1569 - use C89-style comments rather than C++ 1570 - restore logic in justify_text() which checks for win==0, needed to 1571 work with standard curses implementations other than ncurses. 1572 The first call on justify_text() passes a null pointer as a flag 1573 to indicate that checking should be done, but no screen updates. 1574 - avoid modifying the buffer in decode_percent(), otherwise a message 1575 containing a space or newline would be truncated at the whitespace. 1576 - modify dlg_button_x_step() and dlg_button_layout() slightly to 1577 work with altered print_autowrap(), etc. 1578 + fixes to build/work with SunOS 4.x 5lib curses 1579 15802001/04/15 1581 + fix a memory leak in mouse_region(). 1582 + simplify handling of optional parameters with new functions 1583 optional_str() and optional_num(). 1584 + add calendar and timebox dialogs (compatible with Xdialog). 1585 + correct typo in fallback definition for getparyx, and remove void 1586 cast for mouse_open and mouse_close which prevented build with 1587 Sun's Solaris compiler. 1588 + rename --enable-lxdialog configure option to --enable-Xdialog 1589 + modify CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS macro to match more variations of ncurses 1590 header files. 1591 + update config.guess, config.sub 1592 + modify some configure script macros to avoid problems with buggy 1593 autoconf 2.49c which breaks changequote(). 1594 15952001/01/15 1596 + small fix to revised real_auto_size() and justify_text() to avoid 1597 adding origin to box-width, which broke samples/wheel. 1598 + apply 1999/12/25 tempfile change to wheel and copismall samples. 1599 + add sample script for tailboxbg. 1600 + revised lock-file management to better ensure that locks are actually 1601 created by the tailbox subprocess(es). 1602 + correct hardcoded signal 15 in tailbox to SIGHUP to match 1603 documentation. Signal 15 is usually SIGTERM, which cannot be caught. 1604 + correct off-by-one comparison of return-value for arg_rest() which 1605 made 1606 dialog --gauge test 10 50 1607 dump core because it expected a 4th parameter (fixes Debian #80641). 1608 + resync config.sub, config.guess from 1609 http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/config/ (which finally have 1610 cases for OS/2 EMX), minor tweaks to related configure script macros. 1611 16122000/12/17 1613 + restore treatment of predefined height/width in real_auto_size() 1614 which was lost in 2000/12/12 rewrite (report by Raphael Halimi 1615 <raphaelh@easynet.fr>). 1616 + updates for configure script macros AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST, 1617 CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_LIB_PREFIX, CF_PROG_EXT for $PATHSEP and $CFLAGS 1618 fixes. 1619 16202000/12/13 1621 + correct change for create_lock(), which resulted in an infinite loop 1622 (patch by Chris Butler, <chrisb@debian.org>). 1623 16242000/12/12 1625 + rewrote print_autowrap() and real_auto_size() to share common code 1626 justify_text(), which now does text flow even when the string 1627 contains newlines (fixes Debian #77199). 1628 + improve create_lock() function using open() with O_EXCL rather than 1629 fopen() (patch by Matt Kraai (<kraai@debian.org>), Debian #78951). 1630 + correct description of --fselect in man page (patch by Tomas Pospisek 1631 (<tpo@spin.ch>), Debian #77200). 1632 + add --no-cancel as alias for --nocancel for compatibility with 1633 Xdialog (report by Luis E Limon <luisl@abriasoft.com>). 1634 16352000/10/27 1636 + some lint fixes using lclint (mostly void-casts, but some 1637 sign-extension fixes e.g., for ctype.h macros, and loop in 1638 dlg_char_to_button()). 1639 + modified to build/run on OS/2 EMX with ncurses. 1640 + minor changes to po/*.po (trim trailing blanks, provide explicit 1641 translation for "OK"), to work with Solaris gettext. 1642 + modified to allow this to build with archaic version (1.8.6) 1643 of ncurses on FreeBSD 3.1 (does not run). 1644 + update config.guess, config.sub from subversions.gnu.org 1645 16462000/10/17 1647 + use new function sub_window() to check success/failure of calls to 1648 subwin(), printing an error message if it fails (fixes Debian #74903). 1649 + use combination of isatty/ttyname to look for workable tty device 1650 on systems which have no /dev/tty, e.g., BeOS. 1651 16522000/10/08 1653 + change exiterr() to use stdarg.h, make some messages easier to 1654 understand. 1655 + add dialog_clear() 1656 + make samples/install/setup build. 1657 + implemented mouse support for buttons, e.g., in yesno dialog using 1658 ncurses (the gpm support no longer works, but is useful for reference) 1659 + add a configure check for chtype. 1660 + updates for configure script macros (CF_BUNDLED_INTL, CF_CURSES_LIBS, 1661 CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_GCC_WARNINGS, CF_INCLUDE_DIRS), and scripts 1662 config.guess, config.sub 1663 + cleanup of item-help change, integrate with checklist and radiobox. 1664 + add ja.po, from Hirofumi Takeda <takepin@turbolinux.co.jp>. 1665 > patch by Marco Mariani <marcom@sferacarta.com> 1666 + add --item-help option, which makes menubox data interpreted as 1667 3 columns rather than 2. The third column is displayed on the 1668 last line of the screen as a help/status message for the currently 1669 selected item. 1670 + add it.po, pt.po 1671 + change TAG_KEY_HL to FALSE, making unselected items in checklist 1672 easier to read on Linux console. 1673 16742000/07/30 1675 + change real_auto_size() to allow it to be used for dialogs that have 1676 no prompt, e.g., fselect. Also, rather than requiring both height 1677 and width to be given as -1 for maximizing the dialog, allow either 1678 alone. 1679 + increase minimum height needed for autosized yesno dialog. 1680 + add --version as an alias for --print-version. 1681 + fix for build on Solaris without NLS (cannot redefine 'gettext()'). 1682 + add fselect dialog (compatible with Xdialog). 1683 + add --enable-lxdialog configure option. 1684 + use new configure macro CF_ARG_MSG_ENABLE to show progress with 1685 enable/disable switches. 1686 16872000/07/02 1688 + implement --stdout and --stderr options as in Xdialog. 1689 + move logic that translates "\\n" into '\n' into main program to 1690 simplify logic that formats text. 1691 + make ifdef's for rc-file not specific to ncurses. 1692 + correct logic making percent parameter of gauge optional. 1693 16942000/06/29 1695 + add alternate test-script for gauge, adapted from Xdialog. 1696 + modify gauge to make optional a percentage which was read at the 1697 beginning of the XXX-delimited message text, since clones of dialog 1698 are written to assume this is text. If the line is not a simple 1699 integer, dialog will treat it as text. 1700 + make the percent parameter of gauge optional, as in Xdialog. 1701 + undo one use of CharOf() in guage.c, an error. 1702 + fix configure macro AM_WITH_NLS to refrain from attempting to make a 1703 symbolic link into/libintl.h if we are not using the bundled intl 1704 directory from gettext (reported by Julian Coleman 1705 <J.D.Coleman@newcastle.ac.uk>). 1706 + add ru.po, from Michael Sobolev <mss@transas.com> 1707 + updates for config.guess, config.sub from tin. 1708 + updates for configure script macros: CF_MATH_LIB (improperly nested 1709 brackets/parenthesis) and CF_XOPEN_CURSES (make include of 1710 <*curses.h> depend on configure tests). 1711 17122000/04/25 1713 + repaint screen when a control/L is pressed. 1714 + apply CharOf() macro to avoid sign-extension on calls to waddch(), 1715 fixes a problem with accented characters (reported by Santiago Vila). 1716 + add es.po, from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es> 1717 17182000/04/23 1719 + modified to use gettext (configure option --enable-nls). This uses 1720 gettext 0.10.35, which must be previously installed. (It can also 1721 use an included intl library, but I consider that to be a waste of 1722 disk space). 1723 + remove code in checklist/radiobox, menubox that try to use 1724 abbreviations for the OK/Cancel buttons since those conflict with the 1725 check for abbreviations in list entries, which are more useful. 1726 + moved padding of button labels out of string literals, into the 1727 logic of dlg_draw_buttons(). 1728 + resync/update with configure macros CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_FIND_LIBRARY, 1729 CF_HEADER_PATH, CF_LIBRARY_PATH and CF_NCURSES_LIBS, as well as 1730 mkdirs.sh and config.guess. 1731 17322000/02/22 1733 + add --default-item option, for menubox to set the default selection 1734 (fixes Debian #49796). 1735 + add sample scripts for --nocancel and --fb options with inputbox. 1736 + modify inputbox* sample scripts to show application errors, if any. 1737 + add --nocancel option, and ignore --noitem, --fb, --fullbutton, to 1738 make this compatible with whiptail scripts. (whiptail does not 1739 handle many dialog scripts however). 1740 + modify checklist/radiobox to handle home, end, nextpage, prevpage 1741 keys, as well as make the abbreviation search work for the whole 1742 list, not only the current page. 1743 + treat KEY_LL the same as KEY_END in checklist and textbox. 1744 + add logic for KEY_BTAB. 1745 + use new function dlg_draw_buttons() to better manage the layout of 1746 yes/no/ok/cancel buttons. 1747 + another pass of cleanup of dialog.c, makes it use a single table for 1748 lookup of option names and help-message. Eliminated numerous 1749 adjustments to 'offset' variable. 1750 + on initialization, check if standard input is from a terminal. If 1751 not, open /dev/tty (fixes Debian #57771) 1752 17532000/02/05 1754 + implement inline editing in textbox.c search dialog. 1755 + revise inputbox.c, allowing inline editing with arrow-keys. removed 1756 redundant logic in that module. 1757 + correct a typo that prevented rc-file configuration from building. 1758 + correct ifdef's to compile/run if the curses implementation does not 1759 support color. 1760 17612000/01/23 1762 + improve test-case for gauge. 1763 + change gauge.c to show progress in reverse-video, add a check for 1764 end-of-file in the loop for reading new messages. 1765 + use curses whline() function to simplify print_arrows() logic in 1766 checklist.c and menubox.c 1767 + use curses beep() function rather than hardcoded strings. 1768 + correct several compiler warnings for gcc -pedantic (mismatch of 1769 const, signed/unsigned). 1770 + modify exiterr() to avoid possible expansion of '%'. 1771 + change CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to allow specifying a particular 1772 test-function. For dialog, this should be sqrt(). The macro was 1773 originally written for ncurses, which needs sin(). However, that is 1774 a builtin function on the m68k port (reported by Roman Hodek 1775 <Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>, this fixes Debian #55553). 1776 17772000/01/18 1778 + update manpage (Debian #25648). 1779 + modify configure test for math library to avoid using a constant 1780 parameter to the test function, lest gcc optimize the call away 1781 (fixes Debian #55553). 1782 + restructure help-message so actual problem is indicated. The original 1783 help-message is shown if no parameters are given, or if the --help 1784 option is specified alone. 1785 + suppress xterm's alternate screen mode by sending an exit_ca_mode 1786 after initscr if the terminal looks like xterm, e.g., has key_mouse 1787 defined, and has private-mode escapes in both enter_ca_mode and 1788 exit_ca_mode (fixes Debian #55181). 1789 + change yellow lettering on white to blue on white, since it offers 1790 better contrast (fixes Debian #51196). 1791 + use napms() rather than sleep(). 1792 + some cleanup/simplification of main program. Indent'd dialog.c and 1793 util.c 1794 + eliminate several places where repeated options are treated as 1795 an error, since they are really executed once anyway. 1796 17972000/01/15 1798 + remove pre-autoconf Makefile 1799 + remove sleep's from a few of the sample scripts, which left users 1800 thinking that dialog was slow to complete an action. 1801 + rewrote infobox sample script, using dialog's --sleep option and 1802 a loop in the script. 1803 + change 'ch' variable in tailbox.c to an integer, because it is 1804 compared against EOF (fixes Debian #53157). 1805 + corrected mandir variable in makefile.in (reported by Santiago Vila). 1806 + small changes to sample scripts, from Debian: rename "guage" script 1807 to "gauge", change path to copy of GPL used in textbox. 1808 + add uninstall rule to makefile.in, fixed some dependencies so 1809 "make install" works without first doing "make all". 1810 18111999/12/25 1812 + use more portable scheme for tempfile generation in samples. 1813 + add a configure script, prefer to not use the original Makefile 1814 because it works only with GNU make. 1815 + correct prototype of 'main()', which misused const. 1816 + modify guage.c to use fgets() rather than gets(). 1817 + merge changes from Debian package maintainer 1818 Santiago Vila <sanvila@ctv.es>: 1819 1820 1999/10/07 1821 + add a password dialog box (Debian #45964, patch by Joey Hess). 1822 + implement "--defaultno" option to specify if the default for 1823 the yes/no box is "No" (Debian #46076, patch by Joey Hess). 1824 1999/03/10 1825 + modify input.c to clear the input field to the right of the 1826 given string, to help with screen-refresh 1827 1998/12/08 1828 + check for list_height less than one in checklist.c (Debian 1829 #22239). 1830 1998/10/21 1831 + use function wscrl() in preference to scroll() in checklist.c 1832 and menubox.c (unclear: in ncurses, scroll() is a macro that 1833 uses wscrl()). 1834 + remove the "-I/usr/include/ncurses" option from Makefile 1835 since Debian does not install ncurses' header files into 1836 that directory. 1837 1998/09/12 1838 + simplify menubox.c using new functions print_arrows() and 1839 print_items(). add logic to handle KEY_NPAGE and KEY_PPAGE 1840 (Debian #26326). 1841 + modifications to provide sample scripts (Debian #26211): 1842 + change sample scripts to use Debian tempfile utility rather 1843 than putting files into /tmp. 1844 + change sample scripts to use 'dialog' from user's path 1845 rather than in the parent directory as in the build 1846 directory. 1847 + use the system copy of GPL rather than that in the build 1848 directory as an example for the textbox script. 1849 18501999/11/27 1851 + fix some gcc warnings about ambiguous use of "else" 1852 18531999/05/01 1854 + cleaned up some of the redundant code with new functions: 1855 box_x_ordinate 1856 box_y_ordinate 1857 draw_title 1858 draw_bottom_box 1859 new_window 1860 1861 + modified msgbox.c and yesno.c to work with the KEY_RESIZE sigwinch 1862 handling in ncurses 4.2 1863 1864 + corrected spelling of "gauge" 1865 1866The relevant portions of the Debian change log for the original version 1867(dialog-0.9a-12) are abstracted here, omitting details of their packaging: 1868 18691998/05/24 1870 1871 + Replaced guage.c by the one in dialog 0.6z, which is known to work. 1872 Fixes Debian #18284: unstable dialog. 1873 18741997/12/16 1875 1876 + dialog.c: dialog_input_result printed with "%s" format. This was 1877 Debian #9913, fixed by Bill Mitchell, but the change was lost. 1878 + Pristine source, .depend is not removed in clean target. Instead, it 1879 is made zero length (otherwise it would not work *without* fakeroot). 1880 + Added '^U' support in input box (Debian #9915, patch by Joey Hess). 1881 + Wrote patch to fix core-dumping problem (Debian #13170).
