This version of dialog was originally from a Debian snapshot. I've done this
|
|
to it:
|
|
|
|
2021/01/17
|
|
+ updated dialog.pot
|
|
+ add option --no-hot-list, to allow suppressing the hotkey feature
|
|
from lists.
|
|
+ increase minimum height of inputbox to avoid input field overlapping
|
|
with the button-box (report by Victor Ananjevsky).
|
|
+ modify options-parsing to permit a "no" on any boolean option and
|
|
deprecating the "no" options without a "-" , e.g., generalizing on
|
|
"--nook" equivalence to "--no-ok".
|
|
|
|
2021/01/12
|
|
+ minor spelling fixes, per codespell
|
|
+ update configure macros, for quoting/escaping fixes per shellcheck
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2020/11/26
|
|
+ modify configure script's compiler check to work around Xcode's
|
|
useless aliases for standard C.
|
|
+ enable keep-tite feature for NetBSD 8 and up; earlier releases would
|
|
dump core.
|
|

|
|
+ add option "--cursor-off-label"
|
|

|
|
uppercase was found
|
|
|
|
2020/11/25
|
|
+ add DIALOG_TIMEOUT to sample scripts, and use report-button more
|
|
consistently to handle unexpected exit-status values.
|
|
|
|
2020/11/24
|
|
+ add dlg_getenv_num() and dlg_getenv_str().
|
|
+ add DLG_EXIT_TIMEOUT to allow scripts to exit on an expired timeout
|

|
|
(patch by Norbert Koch).
|
|
|
|
2020/11/23

|
|
buttons would be omitted.

|
|
with the majority of the widgets: editbox.c, menubox.c, msgbox.c,
|
|
rangebox.c, textbox.c, timebox.c
|
|
+ add ^D as binding for new virtual key DLGK_LEAVE, which will close
|
|

|
|
Wihl).

+ improve configure macros:
|
|
CF_CLANG_COMPILER: apply compiler-flags needed for test.
|
|
CF_WITH_SCREEN_PDCURSES: use this to reduce X11-checks.

|
|
assume the filesystem doesn't support mixed-case
|
|
|
|
2020/09/21

|
2019/07/28
|
|
+ modify dialog-config.in so that setting prefix or exec-prefix to
|
|
a given value with --prefix=VALUE or --exec-prefix=VALUE has the
|
|
expected result of changing bindir, etc.
|
|
+ correct substitution for $LIBS value in dialog-config.in (report by
|
|
Andrew Kosteltsev).
|
|
|
|
2019/07/24

|
|
the chance that dialog exits on a SIGWINCH (Debian #930775).
|

|
|
CF_LIBRARY_PATH, CF_SHARED_OPTS, CF_WITH_MAN2HTML,
|
|
CF_WITH_VERSIONED_SYMS from ncurses
|
|
+ add ast.po, from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
|
|
2018/06/21
|
|
+ improve file-offset computation in textbox.c (Werner Fink).
|
|
+ fix an overlooked case with real_auto_size() to maximize when
|
|
height or width is given as -1.
|
|
+ build-fixes for configure options "--disable-Xdialog2" and
|
|
"--disable-form"
|
|
+ add traces for each widget to show its parameters.
|
|
+ modify color scheme for mixedgauge to use the dialog window colors,
|
|
like the captions.
|
|
+ fix a too-small malloc in the mixedgauge widget.
|
|
+ fix a use-after-free in dlg_remove_callback().
|
|
+ improve handling of SIGWINCH for several widgets (Debian #865840).
|
|
+ menubox, the point of the Debian report was that it would be nice
|
|
to increase the window size if the terminal size increases. Did
|
|
that as a special case less problematic than decreasing the
|
|
terminal size. Added samples/menubox11 to demonstrate by
|
|
comparison with menubox10 a problem with debconf which puts extra
|
|
newlines in the caption that interfere with autowrap.
|
|
+ progressbox and derived prgbox, programbox, now handle resizing.
|
|
+ yesno, window was cleared
|
|
+ add dlg_ttysize() to support new options, allowing scripts to obtain
|
|
some text-formatting details without initializing the terminal.
|
|
+ add options --print-text-only, and --print-text-size for scripts that
|
|
adjust the widget size according to how the captions are formatted.
|
|
+ improve dialog.pl:
|
|
+ add demo.pl, to demonstrate the functions
|
|
+ quote/escape string parameters passed to dialog.
|
|
+ ensure all "integer" parameters are really integers.
|
|
+ use actual screensize for list captions rather than assuming 24
|
|
lines.
|
|
+ when trimming blanks, treat unconverted tabs the same as spaces.
|
|
+ correct parameter to test when trimming blanks from the script,
|
|
e.g., with "--trim" (report by Jarno Suni).
|
|
+ improve documentation of the various whitespace-filtering options,
|
|
to show which take precedence (Debian #867536, cf: Debian #102942).
|
|
+ modify msgbox.c, yesno.c to bind SCROLLKEY_BINDINGS before
|
|
TRAVERSE_BINDINGS so that up/down arrow will by default scroll the
|
|
message up/down rather than be aliases for tab-traversal (report by
|
|
Fredrik Kers).
|
|
+ modify dump_one_binding() to show when a binding is overridden.
|
|
+ improve format of trace-file, making comment-syntax consistent,
|
|
as well as showing argv-splitting as a series of comments.
|
|
+ modify dlg_string_to_argv() to change the quoting behavior to be
|
|
more consistent with shell behavior (patch by Denilson Sa Maia).
|
|
+ modify dlg_getc() to return ESC when a timeout expires, notifying
|
|
callers that a quit occurred rather than exiting the application
|
|
(suggested by Rodrigo Freitas).
|
|
+ modify handle_inputs() to ensure cursor-visibility is restored when
|
|
there is no input character available (report by Guillaume Vareille).
|
|
+ improve comment in manual page regarding which widgets can use the
|
|
"--help-button" (prompted by discussion with Csanyi Pal).
|
|
+ add a check for valid object pointer in tailbox's main loop since
|
|
the getc-callback may have been freed within ui_getc.c (report by
|
|
"David").
|
|
+ improved configure macros for ncurses: CF_GNU_SOURCE, CF_SHARED_OPTS,
|
|
CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_CURSES_FUNCS, CF_NCURSES_CONFIG
|
|
+ improved configure script checks for groff vs man2html:
|
|
CF_PROG_GROFF and CF_WITH_MAN2HTML
|
|
+ build-fix from lynx for AM_WITH_NLS configure macro
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2017/12/09
|
|
+ update ftp url in test-packages.
|
|
+ modify test-packages to use recommended compiler/linker flags.
|
|
+ improved configure macros AM_WITH_NLS, CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS,
|
|
CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_NCURSES_CONFIG, CF_SHARED_OPTS, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL,
|
|
CF__INTL_BODY.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2017/05/09
|
|
+ improved configure macros CF_ADD_CFLAGS, CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS, and
|
|
CF_SHARED_OPTS.
|
|
+ updated hu.po and tr.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2017/01/31
|
|
+ use DLG_TRACE macro consistently to make "--disable-trace" configure
|
|
option work.
|
|
+ modify buildlist widget to support option "--reorder" for to allow
|
|
user to reorder the data based on the sequence of selections
|
|
(discussion with Paraic O'Ceallaigh).
|
|
+ fill background color on unused parts of buildlist.
|
|
+ fix a minor error in buildlist which let pageup switch columns.
|
|
+ change several calls to dlg_trace_msg to prefix with "#" to make
|
|
the trace logs more consistent for parsing.
|
|
+ add samples/run_test.sh
|
|
+ further improve performance with very long command-lines by changes
|
|
to howmany_tags().
|
|
+ modify dlg_string_to_argv() to convert escaped double-quotes to
|
|
plain double-quotes when within a double-quoted string.
|
|
+ modify makefile to apply CFLAGS to linking
|
|
+ modify dlg_string_to_argv() to ignore escaped newlines except when
|
|
quoted, fixing a problem with samples/checklist9.
|
|
+ interpret $DIALOGOPTS before expanding "--file", etc., to allow
|
|
the environment variable to turn on tracing in that process.
|
|
+ improve performance when processing very long command lines, e.g.,
|
|
using "--file" by changing dialog_opts[] to an array of pointers to
|
|
the expanded argv[] (discussion with Lars Tauber).
|
|
+ modified autoconf macros
|
|
+ CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS amend the last change to move only the
|
|
preprocessor, optimization and warning flags to CPPFLAGS and
|
|
CFLAGS, leaving the residue in CC. That happens to work for gcc's
|
|
various "model" options, but may require tuning for other compilers
|
|
+ CF_LARGEFILE workaround for clang exit-code vs warnings
|
|
+ CF_MATH_LIB quiet strict gcc warning
|
|
+ CF_WITH_LIBTOOL fix a few places in configure/build scripts where
|
|
DESTDIR and rpath were combined
|
|
+ CF_XOPEN_SOURCE add "uclinux" to list of Linux's
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2016/11/20
|
|
+ added fur.po (Friulian) from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
|
|
2016/08/28
|
|
+ improve parsing and trace for "bindkey", to convert space to/from
|
|
"\s", as well as handle octal escapes for single byte characters.
|
|
+ change explicit checks for space character used for select or toggle
|
|
to make this rebindable to "TOGGLE" (prompted by discussion with
|
|
Paul van Tilburg).
|
|
+ add default bindings for cursor left/right to formbox. The cursor
|
|
left/right cases were replaced with rebindable symbols in 2005/12/07
|
|
without providing these keys as default values (report/patch by
|
|
Miroslav Lichvar).
|
|
+ modified autoconf macros
|
|
+ CF_PROG_LINT add cpplint to programs to use; drop ad hoc tdlint and
|
|
alint.
|
|
+ CF_CC_ENV_FLAGS don't limit the check to -I, -U and -D options,
|
|
since the added options can include various compiler options before
|
|
and after preprocessor options.
|
|
+ CF_GNU_SOURCE recent glibc (Debian 2.23-4 for example) has
|
|
misordered ifdef/checks for new symbol _DEFAULT_SOURCE, producing
|
|
warning messages when only _GNU_SOURCE is defined. Add a followup
|
|
check to define _DEFAULT_SOURCE.
|
|
+ CF_XOPEN_SOURCE use _GNU_SOURCE for cygwin headers, tested with
|
|
cygwin 2.3, 2.5 (patch by Corinna Vinschen).
|
|
+ mention --no-collapse option in manual page description of
|
|
--tab-correct option.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2016/04/24
|
|
+ fix a special case in drawing shadow on a line-drawing cell where the
|
|
alternate-character set flag was lost (report by Martin Kravec).
|
|
+ fix a regression from 2015/05/13 changes for escaping; it is
|
|
necessary to retain backslashes within quotes to make "\Z" escapes
|
|
work (report by Marcin Krol).
|
|
+ fix test package for RPMs; changes in 2015 omitted symbolic links
|
|
for the library.
|
|
+ fix typo in help message for "--buildlist" (report by Rihards Olups).
|
|
+ modified autoconf macros
|
|
+ CF_PROG_AR, CF_AR_FLAGS added to improve check for archive tool.
|
|
+ CF_LD_RPATH_OPT, change FreeBSD to use -Wl,-rpath rather than
|
|
-rpath option. According to FreeBSD #178732, either works since
|
|
FreeBSD 4.x; however scons does not accept anything except the
|
|
-Wl,-rpath form.
|
|
+ CF_WITH_NCURSES_ETC, change from ncurses to check for pthreads
|
|
dependency.
|
|
|
|
2016/02/09
|
|
+ modify editbox widget to add a trailing newline if the text has none
|
|
to ensure the last line is not ignored (report by Florent Rougon).
|
|
+ change mouse initialization to look for button-presses rather than
|
|
button-clicks, for better response.
|
|
+ modify dump_curses_key() to show mouse-coding in readable form.
|
|
+ correct mapping of mouse-clicks on the day-grid in calendar widget
|
|
when "--week-start" is used to set the start of the week (report by
|
|
Stefan Vogtner).
|
|
> integrated changes from Stefan Vogtner:
|
|
+ use Gregorian algorithm for leap year
|
|
+ use mktime if available; calendar was written just as it became
|
|
standard.
|
|
|
|
2016/01/26 - release 1.3
|
|
+ correct --infobox documentation, which said it shows an OK button.
|
|
+ fix a couple of place in test-scripts which referred to $SIG_TRAP
|
|
rather than $SIG_QUIT
|
|
+ reorganize dialog.3, to use subsections for generating navigation
|
|
pane, using man2html
|
|
+ add "--week-start" option for calendar widget (prompted by discussion
|
|
with Stefan Vogtner).
|
|
+ add a limit-check in editbox.c to ensure that mouse-clicks outside
|
|
the filled-in text area do not access past the end of the array
|
|
(report by Stefan Vogtner).
|
|
+ update configure macros from ncurses changes.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2015/09/20

|
|
+ update configure macros:
|
|
+ use $SHELL consistently, deprecate non-POSIX shell
|
|
+ PKG_CONFIG may simply be unset - fix
|
|

|
|
|
|
2015/05/28
|
|
+ fixes for two autoconf macros, CF_ADD_INCDIR and CF_NCURSES_CONFIG
|
|
from work on ncurses.
|
|
+ build-fix for NetBSD curses (patch by Matthias Scheler).
|
|
|
|
2015/05/13
|
|
+ add configure option --with-install-prefix, like ncurses.
|
|
+ add --with-screen and related configure options from ncurses-examples
|
|
to allow building with ncurses6 test-packages.
|

|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
> patches by Florent Rougon:
|
|
+ fix two bugs in the "--file" option.
|
|
+ When the number of arguments read from the included file is 0, the
|
|
code used to just skip over '--file' and its argument instead of
|
|
removing them from the argument list, causing "Error: Unknown
|
|
option --file" later on.
|
|
+ In the alternative case (at least one argument read from the file),
|
|
the previous code used to do '--j;' in order to "force rescan" of
|
|
the inserted arguments. However, control then flowed to outer
|
|
blocks where a '++j;' counteracted this measure, causing "Error:
|
|
Unknown option --msgbox" (for instance) later on.
|
|
+ modify escaping in argv.c to be more uniform, whether or not the
|
|
backslash is found within a parameter.
|
|
|
|
2015/02/25
|
|
+ modify gauge widget to keep from erasing a second gauge widget, e.g.,
|
|
via the "--and-widget" option. This is a cosmetic change to match
|
|
behavior of dialog 1.0 (report by Jason Orendorf).
|
|
+ add configure option "--with-man2html"
|
|
+ add configure options for versioned symbols, from ongoing work on
|
|
ncurses.
|
|
+ update configure macros, e.g., for shared libraries
|
|
|
|
2015/01/25
|
|
+ suppress highlighting of character which denotes an abbreviation or
|
|
shortcut for the OK/Cancel and other buttons for these widgets, which
|
|
use abbreviations for the list shown on the screen: buildlist,
|
|
checklist/radiobox, menubox, treeview (Debian #775295).
|
|
+ add grid up/left and down/right bindings in editbox.c as synonyms for
|
|
field prev and next, respectively when handling the OK/Cancel buttons
|
|
(Debian #775294).
|
|
|
|
2014/09/11
|
|
+ correct malloc-size for change to prgbox.
|
|
|
|
2014/09/10
|
|
+ fixes to make "-c" option work when passing command to shell for the
|
|
prgbox widget, for example in samples/prgbox2 (report by Korantin
|
|
Auguste).
|
|
|
|
2014/09/08
|
|
+ fix an out-of-bounds array index in buildlist widget (report by
|
|
Cade Foster).
|
|
|
|
2014/09/01
|
|
+ add configure check for groff, needed for html/ps/pdf output.
|
|
+ update configure-script macros:
|
|
+ CF_ACVERSION_CHECK - work around another gratuitous incompatibility
|
|
introduced in 2.69
|
|
+ CF_ADD_CFLAGS - workaround for ash-shell, e.g., with Minix
|
|
+ CF_ADD_LIBS - filter out duplicates
|
|
+ CF_CURSES_FUNCS - improve workaround for weak-linkage, seems to fix
|
|
tests with NetBSD 6.1
|
|
+ CF_INTEL_COMPILER - clean up the -no-gcc option which was leftover
|
|
from testing.
|
|
+ CF_LIB_SUFFIX - change suffix for AIX shared libraries to ".so".
|
|
+ CF_MAKEFLAGS - workaround for GNU make 4.0 incompatibility with
|
|
previous releases.
|
|
+ CF_XOPEN_SOURCE - add cases for Minix, UnixWare and improve the
|
|
workaround for Solaris.
|
|
+ improve comparison in compare_cache() function, in case difference
|
|
between pointers does not fit in int's.
|
|
+ updated de.po, es.po, hu.po, lv.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2014/02/19
|
|
+ cleanup of manpages prompted by Gislason's comments.
|
|
+ several changes to manpages to improve presentation (patches by
|
|
Bjarni I. Gislason, Debian #739180, Debian #739181)
|

|
|
+ use "\e" rather than "\\" to present a literal "\"
|
|
+ improve formatting of table header
|
|
+ remove some excess space-characters
|
|
+ change a reference 0-9 to use "through" as the connector
|
|
+ use "\&" to separate "." from a space to make the space shorter
|
|
+ change a list's TP macro parameters to make the hanging text align
|
|
better with the adjacent paragraph
|
|
+ add comma in a few places before "and" in a list
|
|
+ separate units from numbers with a nonfillable space
|
|
+ replace "-" with en-dash in a few places
|
|
+ corrected argument indices after "--args" and "--file" to rescan the
|
|
argument list after removing/substituting those options.
|
|
+ fix loops for "--file" option to handle cases with zero or no tokens at
|
|
all substituted (Redhat #1066168).
|
|
+ add gd.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
|
|
2014/01/12
|
|
+ improve calculation for amount to scroll in programbox when an "Ok"
|
|
button might obscure part of the data (report by Florent Rougon).
|
|
+ modify program to permit --separate-output to be used with buildlist
|
|
and treeview widgets (report by Florent Rougon).
|
|
+ add list-height parameter to manpage description of --buildlist
|
|
(report by Florent Rougon).
|
|
+ minor fixes to dialog.1 manpage; the reported problem was actually
|
|
fixed in 20120703 (Debian #726233, patch by Bjarni Ingi Gislason).
|
|
+ add a "Hello World" example to dialog.3 manpage (prompted by
|
|
discussions with Dustin Oprea, Kevin Ingwersen).
|
|
+ correct comparison in dlg_lookup_key() so that using "bindkey" with
|
|
a "*" wildcard parameter works as documented (report by Stewart
|
|
Benedict).
|
|
+ updated configure macros, fixes for clang and mingw.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2013/09/28
|
|
+ fix a regression in gauge widget from 2013/09/28 changes;
|
|
dlg_reallocate_gauge() failed when no --title option was given
|
|
(report by Tritonas Insomnia).
|
|
|
|
2013/09/23
|
|
+ fix samples/inputbox6-utf8, which had depended unnecessarily on bash.
|
|
+ improve memory caching for wide-character manipulation in gauge
|
|
widget (report by Devin Teske).
|
|
+ add dlg_reallocate_gauge (discussion with Devin Teske).
|
|
+ updated configure macros to use msys changes from ncurses.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2013/09/02
|
|
+ modify makefile rule to make the ".png" filenames created by groff
|
|
predictable.
|
|
+ add option --help-tags to allow scripts to get the item's tag field
|
|
consistently from help- and help-item button results rather than
|
|
getting the item's text for the latter (discussion with Florent
|
|
Rougon).
|
|
+ correct manpage discussion of DIALOG_ITEM_HELP versus --item-help,
|
|
as well as --help-button return status (report by Florent Rougon).
|
|
+ correct limit used for --hline option (report by Devin Teske,
|
|
cf: 2011/06/30).
|
|
+ do not print empty "[]" if a --hline option was given with an empty
|
|
value (report by Devin Teske).
|
|
+ miscellaneous configure script fixes/updates. In particular, add
|
|
option --with-shared which builds shared libraries without a libtool
|
|
dependency.
|
|
+ add FreeBSD port-files for test-builds.
|
|
+ update lt.po, add fa.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2013/05/23
|
|
+ modify ifdef in arrows.c to work around packages which use the
|
|
wide-character ncursesw headers with the ncurses library (report
|
|
by Aleksey Cheusov).
|
|
+ correct workaround for xterm alternate-screen to work with/without
|
|
the fix made in ncurses that makes putp() always write to the
|
|
standard output (Debian #708829).
|
|
+ improve limit-checks for checklist, in case the dialog is resized
|
|
(report by Ilya A Arkhipov).
|
|
+ add --last-key option (adapted from patch by Jordi Pujol, Debian
|
|
#697607).
|
|
|
|
2013/03/15
|
|
+ update zh_TW.po, add an.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
|
|
2012/12/30 - release 1.2
|
|
+ improve some older changelog entries to help with HTML'izing content.
|
|
+ various fixes/improvements for scrollbar appearance.
|
|
+ add mappings for some equivalent options provided by whiptail;
|
|
add configure option --disable-whiptail to allow suppressing these.
|
|
+ add configure option --disable-Xdialog2 to allow suppressing the
|
|
newer features, i.e., for cdialog 1.2
|
|
+ add --no-items option, for consistency.
|
|
+ add --no-tags option, like Xdialog.
|
|
+ add buildlist, rangebox and treeview dialogs, like Xdialog.
|
|
+ remove obsolete workaround for ncurses 4.2 scrolling in checklist
|
|
and menubox.
|
|
+ improve dialog_helpfile() by preventing it from showing extra buttons
|
|
(suggested by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ correct logic in formbox's scroll_next() function (report by xDog
|
|
Walker).
|
|
+ fix a case with inputbox widget where preset input text is not shown
|
|
until moving the cursor within the text (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ handle SIGCHLD in dialog_prgbox() to eliminate defunct processes
|
|
(report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ improve the way "hotkeys" are assigned to widget buttons by checking
|
|
if a given key has already been used in the row of buttons (Debian
|
|
#684933).
|
|
+ amend fix for --trace parsing from 2012/07/03, which sometimes
|
|
skipped a parameter (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ drop copismall and install files from samples, which were essentially
|
|
nonfunctional.
|
|
+ correct secondary border colors in samples/slackware.rc and
|
|
samples/whiptail.rc
|
|
+ update gl.po, add ia.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ fix various issues reported by coverity scan.
|
|
+ miscellaneous configure script fixes/updates:
|
|
+ require autoconf 2.52+patches
|
|
+ support --datarootdir option
|
|
+ check for clang compiler
|
|

|
|
+ add 3rd parameter to AC_DEFINE for autoheader
|
|
+ remove unused macros from aclocal.m4
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2012/07/06
|
|
+ modify samples/setup-tempfile to work with Tru64's shell.
|
|
+ modify inputmenu sample scripts to make them more portable:
|
|
+ use "id" rather than "$GROUPS", use sed to work with Solaris.
|
|
+ use sed to split-up the rename results to work with HPUX.
|
|
+ fix regression in msgbox (ArchLinux #30574)
|
|
|
|
2012/07/03
|
|
+ modify prgbox widget to work with --extra-button, etc.
|
|
+ add case values to several widgets to allow for mouse-clicks with
|
|
"--extra-button" and "--help-button" additions.
|
|
+ correct timebox widget's exit code for "--extra-button" when handing
|
|
the "enter" key.
|
|
+ modify msgbox widget to honor "--extra-button".
|
|
+ corrected processing of "--trace" option, which did not update the
|
|
index into command-line to point past its value.
|
|
+ add a check in dialog program for valid characters used in option,
|
|
e.g., to generate an error if a script attempts to add option value
|
|
using "=" rather than with whitespace.
|
|
+ add new command-line option --default-button and library function
|
|
dlg_default_button() to retrieve the value set by the option
|
|
to provide a way to set the default button directly rather than
|
|
by combining --nook, etc. (patch by Zoltan Kelemen).
|
|
+ amend include of unctrl.h to apply only to the case where curses.h
|
|
is included, to avoid conflict of ncurses' unctrl.h with a system
|
|
implementation (report by Martin Roedlach)
|
|
+ add limit-check to dlg_toupper() in non-wide curses mode to work
|
|
when non-character values such as arrow-key codes are passed to
|
|
it (patch by Zoltan Kelemen).
|
|
+ override timeout value, e.g., as set via --timeout command-line
|
|
option in pause widget because that interferes with pause's behavior
|
|
(report by Jan Spitalnik).
|
|
+ modify samples/inputmenu* to allow ":" in renamed text (report by
|
|
Andreas Stoewing).
|
|
+ modify double-quoting to make it more consistent, i.e., checklist
|
|
output is quoted only when needed. This fixes the case where
|
|
single-quotes were used whether or not needed, but also modifies
|
|
older checklist behavior for double-quoting which always added those
|
|
(Debian #663664).
|
|
+ correct exit-code used in inputmenu for "rename" button (Debian
|
|
#673041, forwarded from Ubuntu #333909, patch by Lebedev Vadim).
|
|
+ update el.po and hr.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ use checkbashisms to clean up sample scripts.
|
|
|
|
2012/02/15
|
|
+ modify menubox.c to use the same improvement as in checklist.c
|
|
+ improve auto width computation for checklist widget by using
|
|
dlg_calc_list_width as in the non-auto case (Edho Arief).
|
|
+ eliminate some bashisms in the sample scripts (Pedro Giffuni).
|
|
+ makefile fixes from FreeBSD ports (Li-Wen Hsu):
|
|
+ make --with-package option of configure script work.
|
|
+ get LIBTOOL_VERSION from configure script, needed by
|
|
${LIBTOOL_VERSION} in LIBTOOL_CREATE (LIB_CREATE in configure and
|
|
aclocal.m4)
|
|
+ update cs.po and sr.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ updated configure script macros, improving CF_XOPEN_SOURCE among
|
|
other fixes.
|
|
|
|
2011/10/20
|
|
+ fix --analyze warnings for clang versions 2.8, 2.9.
|
|
+ add configure check for lint program.
|
|
+ add check in dlg_getc() in case its window is freed as a side effect
|
|
of removing callbacks.
|
|
+ fix logic in freeing subwindows (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ fix a regression in logic distinguishing between inputmenu and menu
|
|
widgets (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ minor fixes to library manpage.
|
|
|
|
2011/10/18
|
|
+ modify header-sh.in to work around limit on sed script length on
|
|
HPUX.
|
|
+ add a special case of parameter parsing for "--trace" to the
|
|
initialization done before calling init_dialog(), to allow users to
|
|
capture the initial state of the parameter list before any options
|
|
are processed and removed. This is only done if "--trace" is the
|
|
first option, otherwise it is handled in the common options as before
|
|
(report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ modify samples/testdata-8bit, discarding $1 from the parameter list
|
|
if it was used, so that the source'ing scripts can consistently use
|
|
"$@" to insert parameters before the widget, e.g., as an alternative
|
|
to using $DIALOGOPTS (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ modify treatment of function pointers in menubox.c, make
|
|
dlg_renamed_menutext() and dlg_dummy_menutext() visible to library
|
|
users (request by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ add dlg_count_real_columns(), use to modify centering for "--hline"
|
|
text to account for "\Z"s (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ improve check in dlg_draw_arrows2() for conflict between the window
|
|
title and up-arrow marker to take into account that the given window
|
|
may not be the top-level window of the widget.
|
|
+ change width of page up/down mouse areas in fselect panes to use the
|
|
full width of the panes rather than only the portion from the left
|
|
margin to the up/down arrow.
|
|
+ add/use dlg_draw_box2() and dlg_draw_bottom_box2() to use the
|
|
secondary borders.
|
|
+ modify rc-file read/write to accept/generate color values that refer
|
|
to previously-processed items in the color table. This reduces the
|
|
number of distinct colors that must be specified to set up a color
|
|
scheme.
|
|
+ add color table entries for secondary borders, i.e., the ones that
|
|
are normally drawn with the dialog's text-colors (Debian #641168).
|
|
+ modify fselect.c to scan the current directory if the input field
|
|
happens to be empty (Debian #640905).
|
|
+ repeated the discussion of environment variables that can override
|
|
the exit-status values in the manpage's return-codes section
|
|
(Debian #642105).
|
|
+ add an example to the manpage showing how to override the form
|
|
widget's keys used for field/button traversal (Debian #642108).
|
|
+ modify call to dlg_register_window() in formbox.c so that the editing
|
|
bindings are attached to the form sub-window rather than the
|
|
top-level dialog window. Also change the name by which the editing
|
|
bindings are bound for editbox.c, fselect.c and inputbox.c, so that
|
|
the editing and navigation bindings can be different.
|
|
+ correct logic in dlg_lookup_key() so that it matches the widget name
|
|
before using a binding from .dialogrc, allowing the inner/outer
|
|
windows of form and other editing widgets to have different bindings.
|
|
+ modify dlg_register_window() to call dlg_dump_window_keys() after
|
|
its updates, via the --trace output, to supplement the manpage
|
|
description of key bindings (Debian #642108).
|
|
+ add DLGK_FORM_PREV and DLGK_FORM_NEXT key-bindings to form.c, to
|
|
allow binding a single key to traverse both form-fields and buttons
|
|
(Debian #642108).
|
|
+ modify dlg_parse_rc() to check for error return from
|
|
dlg_parse_bindkey().
|
|
+ add function dlg_dump_window_keys(), to help with debugging widgets.
|
|
+ add CR, LF, TAB, FF and ESC to table of curses names to help make
|
|
key bindings more readable.
|
|
+ update table of dialog key-names so that helpfile and trace are
|
|
dumped properly.
|
|
+ correct dlg_dump_keys(), which was showing only the first item in
|
|
the matched binding table.
|
|
+ save/restore window current position in dlg_update_mixedgauge().
|
|
+ pass return-code from pause_for_ok() from dlg_progressbox() when
|
|
pauseopt is set, rather than only DLG_OK.
|
|
+ call setlocale() in init_dialog() rather than relying on on-demand
|
|
use within inputstr.c, since there are paths in textbox widget which
|
|
do not exercise the latter (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ fix some places where checks for "\Z" were done without also checking
|
|
dialog_vars.colors (report by Moray Henderson).
|
|
+ correct logic for DIALOGOPTS parsing so that the parse happens only
|
|
once unless memory leak checking is enabled (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ remove an incorrect free() call in dlg_free_gauge() (report by xDog
|
|
Walker).
|
|
+ modify dlg_trace_win() to log wide-characters (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ make traces shorter by skipping repeated ERR's, but showing the
|
|
number skipped (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ improve description in manpage to distinguish program box and
|
|
progress box from tailboxes (adapted from email by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ modify dlg_trace_win() so that it looks for the topmost window in a
|
|
dialog. Because subwindows share space with the top window, tracing
|
|
the latter shows the whole widget (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ expand tracing so that each window is traced before soliciting input,
|
|
making the ^T feature to print a window on demand partly redundant
|
|
(suggested by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ cosmetic change in dialog.h to avoid "*/*" strings from comments next
|
|
to "*" (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ ensure result from dlg_align_columns() has trailing null on each
|
|
string. Analysis was hindered by libc6's continuance of libc5's
|
|
early-1990s misfeature of clearing the result from malloc, noting
|
|
that libc6's documentation incorrectly claims that it does not do
|
|
this (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
|
|
2011/07/07
|
|
+ modify util.c to work better with old versions of ncurses:
|
|
+ suppress use of wchgat() before fix in 20060715 which is needed
|
|
for simple shadow manipulation used here in 2011/06/30 (report
|
|
by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ add a null-pointer check in dlg_print_scrolled()
|
|
+ fix a regression in dlg_getc() introduced by changes to intercept
|
|
F1 for help-popup (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
|
|
2011/06/30
|
|
+ correct license statement for prgbox.c (Debian #632198).
|
|
+ correct layout when "--colors" is used, by discounting characters in
|
|
the escape sequences from the column counts (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ modify dlg_checklist() so that only one item in the list can
|
|
initially be selected (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ add/use macro dlg_enter_buttoncode() to improve implementation of
|
|
"--nook" option (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ add option "--no-nl-expand" to suppress the conversion of "\n"
|
|
strings into newlines (request by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ modify LIB_CREATE symbol in makefile.in to include the library
|
|
dependencies such as ncurses. This is needed when dynamically
|
|
loading the library (report/analysis by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ modify dlg_exit_label() to suppress the Cancel button, for
|
|
consistency.
|
|
+ modify dlg_exit_label() to honor the --nook option, except when there
|
|
is no other button, e.g., the help-button.
|
|
+ modify dlg_exit_buttoncode() so that it returns the proper code for
|
|
help-button (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ correct loop limit when processing "--column-separator" (report by
|
|
xDog Walker).
|
|
+ modify handling of "--version" and "--help" to ensure that they are
|
|
processed, and exit before widgets. Separate "--print-version"
|
|
from "--version", allowing its output to be interspersed with
|
|
widget output (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ correct a few places where "--version" or "--help" options went
|
|
always to stdout rather than allowing redirection with the "--stderr"
|
|
option (report by xDog Walker).
|
|
+ improve repainting after erasing a widget and its shadow.
|
|
+ add "--hline" and "--hfile" options for compatibility with FreeBSD
|
|
dialog (request by Devin Teske).
|
|
+ add dialog version message when opening a trace file (request by
|
|
xDog Walker).
|
|
+ show filename of rc-file in traces.
|
|
+ add piped-in data for gauge widget to traces.
|
|
+ add entrypoints to gauge widget, for allocating, updating and freeing
|
|
the widget (adapted from patch by Stephen Hurd).
|
|
+ fix a reference to freed memory in the gauge widget.
|
|
+ fix --no-mouse option by actually closing the mouse (report by
|
|
xDog Walker).
|
|
+ add sk.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ limit Solaris xpg4 portability fix for redefinition of ERR to cover
|
|
the specific value found in <sys/regset.h>, in case an application
|
|
includes dialog.h after curses.h (FreeBSD #156601, report by Jaakko
|
|
Heinonen, Stephen Hurd).
|
|
+ updated configure macros:
|
|
+ CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS,
|
|
+ CF_CURSES_LIBS, make checks for special libraries on hpux10 and
|
|
sunos4 optional
|
|
+ CF_CURSES_FUNCS, workaround for bug in gcc 4.2.1 (FreeBSD 8.1)
|
|
which caused part of test program to be omitted, i.e., when it saw
|
|
two return-statements in a row it omitted the _first_ one. Also
|
|
add expression to pointer check to help FreeBSD's linker decide it
|
|
should be validated. Just an assignment was not enough. Also, add
|
|
check for unctrl.h
|
|
+ CF_CURSES_HEADER, change order for curses.h / ncurses.h pairs to
|
|
put ncurses.h first, which will tend to provide the same #define's
|
|
as in CF_NCURSES_HEADER (report by Dennis Preiser).
|
|
+ CF_CURSES_TERM_H, modify to avoid spurious check for
|
|
<curses.hterm.h> if there is no ncurses version. Look for
|
|
ncurses's term.h anyway, to work around breakage by packagers who
|
|
separate ncurses' header files.
|
|
+ CF_DISABLE_RPATH_HACK, fix garbled message
|
|
+ CF_LD_RPATH_OPT, add mirbsd
|
|
+ CF_MAKEFLAGS, filter out GNU make's entering/leaving messages.
|
|
This only appeared when using the macro in a dpkg script, though it
|
|
should have in other cases.
|
|
+ CF_RPATH_HACK, add a check for libraries not found, e.g., from
|
|
suppressed functionality of gcc in linking from /usr/local/lib, and
|
|
add a -L option to help work around this.
|
|
+ CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, workaround for cygwin to get ncurses' configure
|
|
script to define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED (cygwin's features.h
|
|
doesn't do anything, so it needs a crutch).
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2011/03/02
|
|
+ add --prgbox and --programbox (adapted from patch by David Boyd).
|
|
+ add sl.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ fix timeouts from 2011/01/18, which were being interpreted as
|
|
milliseconds rather than seconds (report by Luis Moreira).
|
|
|
|
2011/01/18
|
|
+ fix inconsistency in return-codes for textbox when help-button is
|
|
used by making dlg_exit_buttoncode() a wrapper for
|
|
dlg_ok_buttoncode().
|
|
+ modify pause widget to use dlg_ok_buttoncode(), so help-button works.
|
|
+ correct two infobox sample scripts, which did not pass extra
|
|
command-line parameters due to quoting problems.
|
|
+ add a limit-check to the timebox widget (patch by Garrett Cooper).
|
|
+ modify --trace option to also trace the command-line parameters.
|
|
+ account for combining characters when wrapping text (Debian #570634).
|
|
+ correct handling of SIGWINCH in gauge widget (Debian #305705).
|
|
+ add gauge_color, to make guage's progress-bar distinct from
|
|
title_color (request by Dominic Derdau).
|
|
+ update fi.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
as well as resync line-numbers in the other po-files.
|
|
+ modify configure script and dialog program to build with NetBSD's
|
|
wide-character curses functions, including workarounds for its
|
|
incorrect WACS_xxx definitions. Some of the UTF-8 examples work.
|
|
+ add back-tab for traversal of tailboxbg widgets, for symmetry with
|
|
tab-traversal.
|
|
+ reduce flicker in tailboxbg by checking if the input file size has
|
|
changed.
|
|
+ modify internals of callbacks to avoid blocking reads of their
|
|
associated files by keyboard input.
|
|
+ add command-line option --no-mouse, to suppress use of mouse.
|
|
+ add configure option --enable-header-subdir to allow the header files
|
|
to be installed into a subdirectory named for the package.
|
|
+ modify dlg_restore_vars() to retain the updated values of
|
|
input_result and input_length, eliminating the need for a caller to
|
|
provide their own user buffer (prompted by report by Thiago Bimbatti
|
|
Felicio).
|
|
+ add a null-pointer check in show_result() for
|
|
dialog_vars.input_result, and ensure it is set to null after freeing
|
|
(prompted by report by Thiago Bimbatti Felicio).
|
|
+ change order of -I options in CPPFLAGS (report by Michel Feldheim)
|
|
+ modify pause-widget so that it no longer exits when an unrecognized
|
|
key is pressed (patch by Creidieki M Crouch).
|
|
+ add --with-package option to configure script to allow renaming
|
|
of the dialog program and library, to support the package scripts.
|
|
+ add Debian and RPM package scripts for test-builds.
|
|
+ several improvements to configure script:
|
|
+ quote params of ifelse()
|
|
+ change obsolete ${name-value} to standard ${name:-value}
|
|
+ use new macros CF_ADD_LIB/CF_ADD_LIBS to enforce consistency.
|
|
+ AM_GNU_GETTEXT, drop $MKINSTALLDIRS, use "mkdir -p" consistently.
|
|
+ CF_ADD_SUBDIR_PATH, workaround - if $prefix was not mkdir'd yet, no
|
|
directories were added.
|
|
+ CF_BUNDLED_INTL, add --with-textdomain option, to use with lynx-dev
|
|
package
|
|
+ CF_FIND_LINKAGE, simplify save/restore of $LIBS
|
|
+ CF_GCC_WARNINGS, fix for Mac OS X (compiler makes conftest.dSYM
|
|
directory)
|
|
+ CF_HEADER_PATH, don't search for variations of everything in the
|
|
current include-path
|
|
+ CF_WITH_CURSES_DIR, move the calls to CF_ADD_INCDIR and
|
|
CF_ADD_LIBDIR for the curses-directory here, from
|
|
CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS and CF_NCURSES_LDFLAGS, so it will work even
|
|
with the default checking, e.g., no --with-ncurses, etc.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2010/04/28
|
|
+ several improvements to configure script:
|
|
+ modify CF_CURSES_TERM_H to handle cases such as cygwin where
|
|
packager has installed curses.h and term.h in different
|
|
directories, e.g., to wedge in a termcap library.
|
|
+ modify CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, adding special case for OpenSolaris
|
|
+ modify CF_MAKE_TAGS to add check for exctags and exetags, prefer to
|
|
ctags and etags to work around pkgsrc (NetBSD) renaming.
|
|
+ correct CF_FIND_LINKAGE, setting cache variable for library_file in
|
|
the special case where no directory search is made.
|
|
+ improve CF_GCC_VERSION, suppress stderr for c89 alias of gcc.
|
|
+ improve CF_GCC_WARNINGS, moving -W and -Wall into the list to
|
|
check, since c89 alias for gcc complains about these options.
|
|
+ modify CF_HEADER_PATH, to not search for variations of everything
|
|
in the current include-path
|
|
+ use "mkdir -p", remove mkdirs.sh
|
|
+ use CF_CURSES_HEADER to fill in possible subdirectory used for
|
|
ncurses header filename.
|
|
+ modify CF_XOPEN_CURSES to work around current ncurse header loss of
|
|
predefinition of _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
|
|
+ add "--disable-rpath-hack" option, along with scripting to add
|
|
rpath option to libraries found in unusual places.
|
|
+ modify pause widget to autosize like gauge, and to omit the area for
|
|
buttons when none are displayed.
|
|
+ fix an infinite loop in dlg_button_layout() if there are no buttons
|
|
to display (Debian #579390).
|
|
+ add makefile rules for generating html, etc., documentation from
|
|
nroff.
|
|
> patches by Samuel Martin Moro
|
|
+ reset errors in tailbox before reading new character.
|
|
+ modify dlg_draw_scrollbar(), omitting hiding percentages in boxes
|
|
when no arrows or scrollbar are needed.
|
|
+ correct value of row for scrollbars in formbox.
|
|
+ update es.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
|
|
2010/01/19
|
|
+ split up binding tables in inputbox and similar widgets to avoid
|
|
conflict between cursor-key use for input-string versus navigation
|
|
(report by slakmagik).
|
|
+ if strftime() is available, support --time-format option for timebox
|
|
widget.
|
|
+ if strftime() is available, support --date-format option for calendar
|
|
widget (request by Walter Harms).
|
|
+ build-fixes for linking to intl library in /usr/local
|
|
+ add --scrollbar option, use in most widgets to show a scrollbar on
|
|
the right margin of the data. That is cosmetic, does not respond to
|
|
the mouse.
|
|
+ reuse functions from msgbox to allow prompt for yesno box to be
|
|
scrolled in a too-small window.
|
|
+ correct mapping of button-codes with --nook option (report by Lebedev
|
|
Vadim).
|
|
+ cleanup sample scripts using new utility scripts setup-* and report-*,
|
|
and allow command-line parameters to be added, for ad hoc testing.
|
|
+ correct change to tailbox widget from 2009/02/22 using
|
|
dlg_button_layout(), which broke that widget.
|
|
+ document some of the portability caveats.
|
|
+ modify gauge widget to service callbacks (prompted by patch and
|
|
comments by Frank Sorenson).
|
|
+ modify editbox to allow its input buffer to be larger than MAX_LEN
|
|
unless bounded by the --max-input option, and add limit-checks for
|
|
the buffer (report by slakmagik).
|
|
+ improve manpage description of --checklist (report by Isaac Good).
|
|
+ several improvements to configure script macros: CF_ADD_CFLAGS
|
|
CF_CURSES_FUNCS CF_DISABLE_ECHO CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES CF_MATH_LIB
|
|
CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE CF_REMOVE_DEFINE CF_WITH_LIBTOOL CF_XOPEN_SOURCE
|
|
+ add is.po, lv.po, sw.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ update de.po, id.po, pl.po, pt_BR.po, vi.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
|
|
2009/02/22
|
|
+ do not display top-arrows for scrolling if they would overwrite the
|
|
title (report by slakmagik)
|
|
+ consistently use dlg_button_layout() when autosizing widgets (report
|
|
by slakmagik).
|
|
+ add "-" and "+" bindings to timebox widget.
|
|
+ add "-" and "+" bindings to calendar widget (OpenSolaris #6739031).
|
|
+ review/fix other widgets to ensure that they exit on error, e.g.,
|
|
editbox.c
|
|
+ modify check in dlg_getc() to treat closure of either stdin or stdout
|
|
as an error, rather than both. This is more stringent than the check
|
|
added in 2007/07/04.
|
|
+ modify dlg_result_key() to map curses ERR to dialog's error exit
|
|
(adapted from patch by Domagoj Pensa).
|
|
+ updated several configure script macros:
|
|
+ consistently append, rather then prepend, to $CFLAGS
|
|
+ add cases for AIX 6, mint, and dragonfly to CF_XOPEN_SOURCE
|
|
+ use $PATH_SEPARATOR rather than $PATHSEP
|
|
+ improve CF_FIND_LINKAGE, use in checks for more libraries, e.g.,
|
|
libutf8 and libiconv.
|
|
+ update da.po, ru.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2008/08/19
|
|
+ amend changes to quoting; by default, the checklist widget quotes its
|
|
output except when --separate-output is used (Debian #495600).
|
|
+ add eo.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
|
|
2008/07/27
|
|
+ add pointer-check when closing piped input (cf: 2007/03/25)
|
|
+ use here-documents rather than echo, when passing backslashes in
|
|
strings, to accommodate the Debian shell "dash" (Debian #489563).
|
|
+ recode several ".po" files to UTF-8 for consistency.
|
|
+ change --separator to be an alias for --output-separator, for
|
|
compatibility with Xdialog.
|
|
+ add --output-separator option to allow scripts to change the output
|
|
separator from a newline (for --separate-output) or a space. This
|
|
applies to other widgets such as forms and editboxes which normally
|
|
use a newline.
|
|
+ add --column-separator option, to tell where column-aligned data for
|
|
radio/checkboxes or menus should be split into columns (request by
|
|
Ben Dibbens).
|
|
+ add id.po, ku.po, lt.po, nb.po and update ca.po, fr.po, gl.po, ja.po,
|
|
th.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
+ add "--quoted" option, to quote values returned by formbox, etc.
|
|
+ change names of EX/ES macros in dialog.1 to work around name-
|
|
pollution caused by changes in Debian #470729.
|
|
|
|
2008/03/16
|
|
+ modify dlg_mouse_wgetch() to loop only on errors that it detects,
|
|
rather than on errors forwarded from dlg_getc(), in case those are
|
|
due to a disconnected terminal (report by Anatoli Sakhnik).
|
|
+ allow "default" color in dialogrc file (request by Dashing).
|
|
+ fix an indexing error in formbox (Debian #469190, report by Dmitry
|
|
Gomerman, patch by Vladimir Mezentsev).
|
|
+ add bindings for CTL/N, CTL/P to checklist, fselect and menubox
|
|
widgets (prompted by discussion with John Gatewood Ham).
|
|
+ add be@latin.po, th.po and update zh_TW.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
> patches by Peter Astrand:
|
|
+ modify dlg_auto_sizefile() to ensure the computed height and width
|
|
do not extend beyond the screen size.
|
|
+ use unctrl() to make inputstr.c work with Solaris curses.
|
|
> patches by Yura Kalinichenko:
|
|
+ extend pause widget to use ok/cancel buttons (the former giving the
|
|
same result as a timeout), rather than an exit-button.
|
|
+ fix initialization parameter of inputbox for multibyte characters.
|
|
|
|
2007/10/28
|
|
+ improve layout of checklist.c, menubox.c, ensuring that the list fits
|
|
within the available space (report by Gordon Schumacher).
|
|
+ undo removal of redundant chunk from checklist.c in 2007/02/27,
|
|
since some scripts depend on this (Debian #443077).
|
|
+ update nl.po from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
|
|
2007/09/30
|
|
+ correct cursor position in editbox after deleting past left margin
|
|
(report by Joe McDonagh).
|
|
+ add "--no-ok" option (patch by Klaus Knopper).
|
|
+ modify "--file" option to allow it to read from sources other than
|
|
a regular file (patch by Pieter van Beek).
|
|
+ improved hi.po (Hindi) (from Klaus Knopper).
|
|
+ fix masking of attributes in dlg_draw_shadow() which lost
|
|
line-drawing bit (report by David Everly).
|
|
+ fix editbox widget to handle zero-length files (report by Joe
|
|
McDonagh).
|
|
+ update "po" files eu.po ga.po it.po ms.po sv.po vi.po wa.po zh_CN.po
|
|
from
|
|
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
|
|
|
|
2007/07/04
|
|
+ revise the resizable shadows so textbox's search dialog has text
|
|
visible in the shadow again.
|
|
+ improve the prefixing of autoconf-related symbols in the installed
|
|
header files, taking into account symbols which are not mentioned in
|
|
dlg_config.h
|
|
+ add a check when ERR returned from wgetch() to ensure that the
|
|
input/output streams are still valid. If that happens, force
|
|
ESC to be returned, quitting dialog (report by Reiner Huober).
|
|
+ add extern "C" declarations to dlg_keys.h so the corresponding
|
|
function declarations are exported to C++ as C symbols.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2007/06/04
|
|
+ fix a memory leak in editbox.c
|
|
+ revise change from 2007/02/27 which moved the logic for trimming
|
|
option text out of the loop because that moved it before
|
|
initialization of the "--trim" option. Put it back in the loop, but
|
|
limit the tokens which are trimmed to cover only those for the
|
|
current widget. Also ensure that all tokens for a widget are
|
|
trimmed, rather than only the first, which is usually text (report by
|
|
Lai Zit Seng).
|
|
+ add _FILE_OFFSET_BITS definition in CF_LARGEFILE configure macro.
|
|
|
|
2007/05/28
|
|
+ revise changes needed to make textbox's searchbox handle ncurses
|
|
resizing events, e.g., by handling the ERR in that code rather than
|
|
in dlg_getc() (Debian #423732).
|
|
|
|
2007/05/14
|
|
+ supply a repaint_text() call in tailbox.c which was bypassed because
|
|
dlg_getc() now retries on ERR (Debian #423732, cf: 2007/02/27).
|
|
+ modify dlg_getc() to fix regression in 2007/02/27 for use of
|
|
timeouts, broken by fixes to allow resizing of textbox (patch by
|
|
Arnaud Fontaine, Debian #418905).
|
|
+ modify dlg_getc() to fix regression in use of TAB for traversal of
|
|
tailboxbg widgets due to changes for user-definable key bindings
|
|
(Debian #418917, cf: 2005/12/07).
|
|
|
|
2007/04/09
|
|
+ add case in dlg_getc() to handle tab for traversing between widgets
|
|
as in the samples/tailboxbg1 script. Normally the key binding
|
|
overrides, except for the special case where multiple widgets are
|
|
available.
|
|
+ add configure --with-libtool-opts, which passes its value to the
|
|
library creation and linkage passes, e.g.,
|
|
--with-libtool-opts=-static
|
|
to force the result to be static libraries (prompted by a related
|
|
request by Santiago Vila).
|
|
> several fixes based on Coverity scan:
|
|
+ fix memory leak in timebox, calendar widgets if the widget cannot
|
|
be created.
|
|
+ fix memory leak in dlg_key.c if a user binding's storage cannot
|
|
be allocated.
|
|
+ fix improperly delinked entry in dlg_del_window().
|
|
|
|
2007/03/25
|
|
+ improve mkdirs.sh to ignore error from mkdir if the target directory
|
|
happens to already exist (suggested by Harald van Dijk).
|
|
+ amend documentation for --gauge to reflect longstanding quirk which
|
|
allows it to read percentage from the first line after an "XXX"
|
|
(Debian #415596).
|
|
+ fix makefile dependency so "configure && make install-lib" works.
|
|
+ fix resizing of msgbox; the message was not repainted (Debian
|
|
#415022, patch by Brian Rolfe).
|
|
+ fix typo in makefile LIB_OBJECT symbol from 2007/02/27 changes.
|
|
+ improve CF_MBSTATE_T by including stdio.h, needed on Tru64 to make
|
|
the test-compile work.
|
|
+ change makefile to install dialog.3 as part of install-lib rather
|
|
than install-man (report by Thomas Klausner).
|
|
+ use $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) for installing dialog-config (report by
|
|
Santiago Vila).
|
|
|
|
2007/02/27 - release 1.1
|
|
+ mark as "dialog 1.1"
|
|
+ add dialog-config script, which provides applications with compile-
|
|
and link-information for using the dialog library.
|
|
+ move calls to dlg_trim_string() out of loop in dialog.c, so each
|
|
string is trimmed once (report by Ivanov Makcim).
|
|
+ modify textbox.c to allow resizing while the search box is presented.
|
|
This relies on bug-fix in ncurses 5.6 20070224.
|
|
+ use dgettext() rather than gettext() to allow libdialog to use the
|
|
messages installed for dialog (patch by Vajna Miklos).
|
|
+ modify inputbox to position the cursor initially at the end of any
|
|
initial-text (request by Klaus Knopper).
|
|
+ add configure --with-valgrind for testing.
|
|
+ add --trace option, for debugging.
|
|
+ add --ascii-lines and --no-lines options to control the way the
|
|
line-drawing characters are rendered (request by Klaus Knopper).
|
|
+ add --keep-tite option, to override suppression of smcup/rmcup
|
|
(termcap ti/te) strings which would switch to xterm's alternate
|
|
screen (Debian #380665).
|
|
+ modify fselect/dselect to use space-character as a completion
|
|
operator like tab in shells (patch by Yoram Bar Haim).
|
|
+ remove a redundant chunk from checklist.c which reported status a
|
|
second time if the help-button was pressed but no item-help option
|
|
was in effect (Andre C Barros).
|
|
+ fix return-status from "dialog --pause" (Debian #409254).
|
|
+ add --mixedform and --mixedgauge dialogs based on patch from
|
|
Kiran Cherupally.
|
|
+ add some notes on compatibility to the manpage.
|
|
+ add editbox dialog (compatible with Xdialog, Debian #368478).
|
|
+ add dselect dialog (compatible with Xdialog).
|
|
+ remove an incorrect initialization of .text_flen from 2005/12/07
|
|
changes, which made all fields in a form editable (Debian #404045).
|
|
+ report error and exit if a filename given for the --file option
|
|
cannot be opened (report by "Dog Walker").
|
|
+ make --program-prefix, etc., work in configure script, e.g., to make
|
|
program install as "cdialog". This does not alter the library name.
|
|
+ add install-bin, install-man (and uninstall) rules to makefile.
|
|
+ updates for configure script macros (originally vile, lynx, xterm):
|
|
AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST, AM_WITH_NLS, CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS,
|
|
CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_INCLUDE_DIRS, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_MAKEFLAGS,
|
|
CF_PATH_SYNTAX, CF_SUBDIR_PATH, CF_SUBST, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC,
|
|
CF_WITH_DMALLOC, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
> adapted fixes from SuSE package (Werner Fink):
|
|
+ add some limit-checks in dlg_draw_shadow().
|
|
+ make shadows resizable, using new dlg_move_window() in msgbox.c
|
|
and yesno.c
|
|
+ add dialog_state.input, use this in end_dialog() to decide whether
|
|
to close pipe inputs and call _exit(), or simply call exit().
|
|
+ modify dlg_ctl_size() to check if the reason for failure is because
|
|
shadows were used; retry in that case without shadows.
|
|
+ add signal catcher for SIGSEGV.
|
|

|
|
|
|
2006/01/01
|
|

|
|
tailboxbg (Debian #345524).
|
|
+ fix a few memory leaks reported by valgrind.
|
|
|
|
2005/12/19

|
|
|
|
2005/12/07
|
|
+ change license to LGPL.
|
|
+ change naming convention in dlg_colors.h to make it easier to read,
|
|
and incidentally remove the last chunk of code preventing relicense.
|
|
+ add --passwordform (request by Reznic Valery).
|
|
+ modify pause.c, msgbox.c to work with --help-button.
|
|
+ modify formbox.c, inputbox.c, textbox.c, yesno.c to work with extra
|
|
button (adapted from Reznic Valery patch).
|
|
+ modify dlg_exit_label(), dlg_yes_labels() and dlg_ok_label() to allow
|
|
help-button (prompted by Reznic Valery patch).
|
|
+ add zh_CN.po file from
|
|
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
|
|
+ provide alternate interfaces for dialog_checklist(), dialog_menu()
|
|
and dialog_form(): dlg_checklist(), dlg_menu() and dlg_form()
|
|
(discussion with Michael Gebetsroither).
|
|
+ add/use dlg_result_key() to allow binding function keys to the
|
|
buttons.
|
|
+ implement user-definable key bindings in the rc-file.
|
|
+ modify inline cases for KEY_xxx values to use binding tables in new
|
|
module dlg_keys.c
|
|
+ add several DIALOG_STATE items to the rc file: aspect,
|
|
separate_widget, tab_len and visit_links
|
|
+ add a tab-adjustment to dlg_print_text() to improve solution from
|
|
2005/10/30, e.g., in the samples/form* scripts.
|
|
+ fix an off-by-one which made mouse-selection not work for menu items
|
|
past the first page (GenToo #112024, patch by Harald van Dijk).
|
|
|
|
2005/11/07
|
|
+ extend dlg_add_result() to allow caller to pass a null pointer
|
|
for dialog_vars.input_result (Debian #336986).
|
|
+ correct length used for text portion of radio/checkboxes (report by
|
|
Valentin Stoykov).
|
|
+ modify msgbox, textbox and center_label() to work properly for
|
|
LANG=bg_BG.utf8 examples by Valentin Stoykov.
|
|
+ modify use of freopen() to work with opaque FILE type on DragonFly
|
|
(report by Jeremy C Reed).
|
|
+ modify print_line() to compute columns, use that for the call to
|
|
dlg_print_line(). Fix a few places where strlen() was used instead
|
|
of dlg_count_columns() (reports by Valentin Stoykov).
|
|
|
|
2005/10/30
|
|
+ reviewed changes since beginning development in 1999, decided that
|
|
there are no appreciable portions of original code remaining.
|
|
Marked sources to correspond.
|
|
+ improve cache performance for inputstr.c using tsearch() rather than
|
|
a linked-list search (Debian #294853).
|
|
+ remove a special case for darwin in CF_XOPEN_SOURCE configure macro.
|
|
+ add ms.po file from
|
|
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
|
|
+ remove an assignment that caused the cursor to appear initially on a
|
|
form field rather than button (Debian #333506).
|
|
+ modify buttons.c to count columns rather than bytes, fixing case
|
|
where buttons were laid out incorrectly (report by Valentin Stoykov).
|
|
+ change dlg_print_text() to count columns rather than bytes, fixing
|
|
case where fewer columns were displayed in menu than expected
|
|
(report by Valentin Stoykov).
|
|
|
|
2005/10/05
|
|
+ improve fix for dlg_does_output(), eliminating redundant leading
|
|
separator.
|
|
+ fill background color for item-help text (report by Peter Postma).
|
|
+ correct interaction between --separate-output and --output-separator
|
|
broken in 2005/09/11 fix for Debian #326918 (Debian #331440).
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2005/09/11
|
|
+ undo doubled adjustment for left/right margins when wrapping text
|
|
for msgbox, gauge and pause (report by Xyba).
|
|
+ correct position of scrolled text in formbox broken by 2004/12/19
|
|
changes (report by Konrad Jelen).
|
|
+ call dlg_does_output() from dlg_add_result(), ensuring that
|
|
separators are used when combining widgets such as formbox (report by
|
|
John Suykerbuyk).
|
|
+ fix marker in textbox.c to make it disappear at the top of the file
|
|
(report by Patrick J. Volkerding).
|
|
+ fix marker shown in arrows.c for checklists, etc., which was "(+)"
|
|
where it should have been "(-)" (report/patch by Patrick J.
|
|
Volkerding).
|
|
+ fix --input-fd (changes in glibc since 2003 made dialog hang on exit
|
|
due to the way dialog updated stdin).
|
|
+ restore default value (a tab) for --separator or --separate-widget
|
|
lost in 2003/11/26 changes (Debian #326918).
|
|
+ make several widgets handle SIGWINCH (calendar, checklist, formbox,
|
|
fselect, inputbox, menubox, pause, tailbox, textbox, timebox). Only
|
|
msgbox and yesno had been done before. Note that some still have
|
|
fixed geometry requirements, so they cannot be shrunk below a given
|
|
threshold. Also, these changes do not address traversal, e.g., for
|
|
tailboxbg.
|
|
+ make gauge widget handle SIGWINCH with ncurses (Debian #305705).
|
|
+ add configure option to control whether largefile support is
|
|
compiled-in (Debian #298882).
|
|
+ update eu.po (Debian #312622, patch by Piarres Egana).
|
|
+ add/update po files from
|
|
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
|
|
fi.po, rw.po, sr.po, tr.po, zh_TW.po
|
|
+ fixes for configure script:
|
|
+ improve script for determining gcc version
|
|
+ improve checks for Intel compiler and related warning options
|
|
+ improve checks for defining _XOPEN_SOURCE (or alternatives) and
|
|
_POSIX_C_SOURCE
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2005/03/06
|
|
+ add/update po files from
|
|
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
|
|
ga.po, it.po
|
|
+ revert last change for da.po; it was from an older version (report by
|
|
Morten Brix Pedersen).
|
|
|
|
2005/02/06
|
|
+ modify makefile.in so --disable-echo applies to libtool builds.
|
|
+ corrected malloc size used for editable fields in formbox widget to
|
|
match the function which updates the corresponding buffer.
|
|
+ modify formbox widget's use of flen to allow negative values to be
|
|
used to limit the length of the displayed field.
|
|
+ improve description in manpage of output from formbox widget
|
|
(Debian #292418).
|
|
+ modify formbox widget to allow fields with flen==0 to display
|
|
(Debian #292417).
|
|
+ improved configure macros CF_POSIX_C_SOURCE and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, to
|
|
avoid redefinition warnings on cygwin.
|
|
+ fix a typo in inputmenu-stdout found via "sh -n" (report by Steve
|
|
Grubb).
|
|
+ add/update po files from
|
|
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/maint/dialog/
|
|
ca.po, da.po, hu.po, nl.po, rm.po, ro.po, vi.po
|
|
|
|
2005/01/16
|
|
+ add --args option to help with debugging scripts.
|
|
+ adapted some new po files from Debian package for whiptail: ar.po,
|
|
bg.po, gl.po, hi.po, hr.po, mg.po, mk.po, ro.po, sq.po and zh_TW.po
|
|
+ update da.po (Morten Brix Pedersen).
|
|
+ add configure check for Intel 8.0 compiler, to set appropriate
|
|
warning options.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2004/12/22
|
|
+ correct a typo in 2004/12/19 changes which caused width of multibyte
|
|
characters to be incorrectly computed in some locales.
|
|
+ modify --version and --help options to write consistently to the
|
|
standard output (report by Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ modify tailboxbg by resetting tty modes at the point where it forks a
|
|
process to update the screen, rather than waiting until that process
|
|
exits. This improves user feedback by making it apparent that dialog
|
|
is no longer processing input after that point (Redhat #142538).
|
|
+ minor updates to some .po files using Babel Fish, comparing with lynx.
|
|
+ update es.po (Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ work around bug in NetBSD 1.6 curses which seems to be confused by
|
|
reusing color pairs with different video attributes. The problem
|
|
does not appear in NetBSD 2.0 curses (but its headers do not provide
|
|
version info, so color-caching is not available for that
|
|
configuration).
|
|
+ modify pause and gauge widgets to ensure that reverse-video progress
|
|
bar is visible when the background is reversed, e.g., using the
|
|
default non-color attributes.
|
|
+ use chtype rather than attr_t, to build with old Solaris curses,
|
|
used in save/restore operation from 2004/09/20.
|
|
|
|
2004/12/19
|
|
+ add pause-widget (patch by Yura Kalinichenko).
|
|
+ modify exit-code returned on selecting the "Help"-button when the
|
|
--item-help option is given. Previously this returned the same code
|
|
as "OK", since it combines output for "OK" with the help status. It
|
|
now returns the help-code, but this can be overridden by setting the
|
|
environment variable $DIALOG_ITEM_HELP (reports by Erika Pacholleck
|
|
and Sebastian Muesch).
|
|
+ modify formbox widget so input-length is not limited to field-length
|
|
(report by David Liebermann).
|
|
+ localize the label on the search box for textbox widget (report by
|
|
Erika Pacholleck).
|
|
+ correct usage message detail for fselect, which listed an extra
|
|
parameter (Debian #284008).
|
|
+ add include for <sys/select.h> in ui_getc.c to build with QNX 4.25
|
|
using Watcom 10.6 (patch by Len Meakin).
|
|
+ modify behavior when no locale (or POSIX locale) is set to allow
|
|
legacy interpretation of Latin-1 character set (Debian #284795).
|
|
|
|
2004/11/18
|
|
+ correct computation of column width for menubox/checkbox tags, for
|
|
multicolumn characters, e.g., the menubox-utf8 example.
|
|
+ correct calls to wbkgdset(), which set the background attribute but
|
|
not the corresponding character (ncurses uses blank if none is given).
|
|
+ improve configure script check for _XOPEN_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE.
|
|
+ improved limit-computation in show_message() to allow for scrolling
|
|
very long messages.
|
|
+ adjust scrolling logic in msgbox to account for the one-line offset
|
|
used by the logic which wraps text in a box, thus avoiding leaving
|
|
an extra blank line (report by Maxim Sobolev).
|
|
|
|
2004/09/20
|
|
+ add samples/whiptail.rc
|
|
+ add samples/dialog.py (noting that a later version of this exists
|
|
as pythondialog, but this is relatively self-contained). Modified
|
|
the script to accept the $DIALOG environment variable like the other
|
|
sample scripts, to specify the path of the program to use.
|
|
+ modify the install rule for header-files so the autoconf names in
|
|
dlg_config.h (and corresponding usage in dialog.h, etc), are altered
|
|
from "HAVE_xxx" to "DLG_HAVE_xxx", etc.
|
|
+ add a check for getenv("HOME") in rc.c
|
|
+ add a call to end_dialog() in signal_handler for tailboxbg (from
|
|
patch by Werner Fink).
|
|
+ correct initialization in checklist and radiobox for --default-item,
|
|
scrolling as needed.
|
|
+ modify --visit-items option so that it puts the cursor initially on
|
|
the list (in menubox, checklist and radiobox), accepts abbreviations
|
|
for the buttons when the cursor is on the button-row, and otherwise
|
|
(when --visit-items is given) abbreviations apply only to the list
|
|
(report by Erika Pacholleck).
|
|
+ modify a few widgets (inputbox, textbox, yesno) to beep on unexpected
|
|
input.
|
|
+ modify some msgbox widget to accept abbreviations of its button
|
|
label, for consistency with other widgets (request by Erika
|
|
Pacholleck).
|
|
+ corrected logic of dlg_char_to_button(), making it check only the
|
|
first uppercase letter in each button label rather than all uppercase
|
|
letters (report by Erika Pacholleck, cf: 2003/09/10).
|
|
+ improved description of --clear and --keep-window options (adapted
|
|
from Erika Pacholleck).
|
|
+ move discussion of --beep and --beep-signal options to Obsolete
|
|
Options section of manpage, remove these from the help-message
|
|
(report by Erika Pacholleck).
|
|
+ bracket extern's in dialog.h with C++ extern "C" declaration, in case
|
|
the library is used from a C++ application.
|
|
+ modify inputmenu examples to allow ESC to cancel the script.
|
|
+ modify inputmenu widget to cancel edit on a TAB or ESC.
|
|
+ modify inputmenu widget to use the same color scheme for the editable
|
|
text as the inputbox widget.
|
|
+ modify samples/killall to work around differences in "cut" versions.
|
|
+ use the color-caching from the \Z logic when loading the ".rc" file,
|
|
thereby reducing the number of color pairs required, and making it
|
|
less likely that deriving color pairs for drawing arrows on a given
|
|
background will run out of colors.
|
|
+ save/restore window attributes in dlg_draw_arrows() and similar
|
|
functions, to allow widgets to draw arrows using the widget's
|
|
background rather than a common/fixed value (request by Erika
|
|
Pacholleck).
|
|
+ modify textbox widget so the down-arrow will be hidden when at the
|
|
end of the file. (Modifying the up-arrow to be hidden is harder -
|
|
will do this when implementing scrollbars).
|
|
+ correct off-by-one in fselect.c which left down-arrows showing at
|
|
the bottom of directory- and file-lists (report by Erika Pacholleck).
|
|
+ improve display of percentages by omitting blanks where lines should
|
|
be shown.
|
|
+ modify logic for \Z escapes to make those that set video attributes
|
|
not clear the colors (report by Erika Pacholleck).
|
|
+ modify logic for \Z escapes to allow foreground and background
|
|
colors to be the same, provided that bold attribute is set.
|
|
Also improved the logic for choosing a background color when the
|
|
foreground and background are the same (report by Erika Pacholleck).
|
|
+ updated configure script macro CF_XOPEN_SOURCE, ensuring that the
|
|
_POSIX_C_SOURCE value is defined with a specific value (bug report
|
|
originally for lynx).
|
|
+ fix configure script so that po/makefile is generated properly when
|
|
the configure --srcdir --enable-nls options are used.
|
|
+ modify makefile.in to allow build/install from another directory,
|
|
i.e., using configure --srcdir (patch by Mike Castle).
|
|
+ updated da.po (Debian #262587, Morten Brix Pedersen).
|
|
+ modify some sample scripts to avoid using grave quotes nested within
|
|
double quotes with multiple file redirection, which does not work
|
|
with Solaris /bin/sh (report/analysis by Eric Haller).
|
|
+ check for end of string immediately after a \Z escape to avoid
|
|
displaying the null terminator as a ^@ (report by Erika Pacholleck).
|
|
> patches by Erika Pacholleck:
|
|
+ modify calendar.c, fselect.c and timebox.c to use color scheme like
|
|
other lists, using menubox colors rather than dialog colors.
|
|
+ correct charset for po/de.po, translate messages for "Help" and
|
|
"Rename".
|
|
+ omit parentheses around percentage in textbox.c
|
|
+ correct a few mismatched attributes, e.g., searchbox_attr in textbox.c,
|
|
percentage in msgbox.c,
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004/07/31
|
|
+ add test scripts to cover zero-width column case.
|
|
+ remove limit checks from checklist.c and menubox.c (cf: 2004/07/28),
|
|
since some scripts use zero-width columns (Debian #262411 and report
|
|
by Kyle Sallee).
|
|
|
|
2004/07/29
|
|
+ modify msgbox.c to only reserve space for percentage shown as part
|
|
of scrollable text for the msgbox widget. This makes infobox look
|
|
as it did before 2004/06/06 changes (report by Vinesh Christopher)
|
|
|
|
2004/07/28
|
|
+ remove redundant calls to wtimeout() from widgets since wtimeout()
|
|
is properly called from ui_getc() where it is controlled by the
|
|
--timeout option (bug report by juanjo).
|
|
+ add limit checks in checklist.c and menubox.c for very narrow screens
|
|
(prompted by Steve Grubb patch).
|
|
+ initialize step in dlg_draw_buttons() in case it is used to draw
|
|
a vertical list of buttons (prompted by Steve Grubb patch).
|
|
> fixes by Steve Grubb:
|
|
+ correct logic in checklist.c (cf: 2003/11/26 changes) which turned
|
|
quoting on unnecessarily for radiobox, breaking some old scripts.
|
|
+ increase size of array in dlg_ok_labels() to avoid overrun if extra
|
|
and help buttons are used (cf: 2002/06/12 changes).
|
|
+ initialize fkey variable in menubox.c and textbox.c (cf: 2003/07/12).
|
|
|
|
2004/07/21 - release 1.0
|
|
+ minor updates for configure script, i.e., CF_XOPEN_SOURCE,
|
|
CF_NCURSES_LIBS macros.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
+ add nl.po (Jacques Weewer).
|
|
|
|
2004/06/06
|
|
+ add --visit-items option, which allows the user to tab to the item
|
|
list in the checklist/radiobox and menubox widgets (request by
|
|
Ari Moisio).
|
|
+ use wide-character line-drawing for up/down arrows when configured
|
|
for wide-characters, gives better results with uxterm.
|
|
+ limit the number of times a --file option can be used, to prevent
|
|
runaway recursion if a --file option is embedded within a file which
|
|
is included.
|
|
+ improve discussion of wrapping in the manpage (Debian #251937).
|
|
+ modify msgbox to allow it to scroll vertically like textbox (Debian
|
|
#233276). This only works with ncurses.
|
|
+ implement $DIALOGVARS environment variable to apply common options to
|
|
dialog_vars when it is reset before processing other common options.
|
|
+ add --single-quoted option to control whether output is double-quoted
|
|
with '"' or single-quoted with single-quotes.
|
|
+ revert the default quoting behavior of checklists to use
|
|
double-quotes (report by Mark K Post regarding Slackware scripts).
|
|
+ add eu.po (Basque) (Piarres Beobide Egaa).
|
|
+ add ca.po (Catalan) (Jordi Mallach).
|
|
|
|
2004/04/21
|
|
+ add a call to flushinp() to init_dialog(), to discard any typeahead
|
|
before dialog is invoked (Debian #244746).
|
|
+ correct dlg_match_char() function, which was broken during rewrite
|
|
to support wide-characters (Debian #244777).
|
|
+ improved ru.po, uses UTF-8 charset (Leonid Kanter, Redhat #119200).
|
|
+ correct position of shadow drawn for dialogs, which appeared to work
|
|
for most versions of curses (other than NetBSD) but would have been
|
|
visible for certain color schemes (discussion with Julian Coleman).
|
|
+ correct loop-exit in longest_word() (Tomas Heredia, forwarded by
|
|
Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ add cy.po (Welsh) (Dafydd Harries).
|
|
|
|
2004/03/16
|
|
+ modify quoting of results to use single-quote rather than double
|
|
quote, and ensure that results containing a quote or backslash
|
|
character are escaped (report by Florent Rougon)
|
|
+ remove an incorrect comparison from checklist which made cursor
|
|
stick on the last line, from 2004/03/01 changes.
|
|
|
|
2004/03/14
|
|
+ add a dependency to install library if "--with-libtool" is used.
|
|
+ add manpage for the library.
|
|
+ add "--file"
|
|
+ modify formbox.c to support "--help-status" like menubox.
|
|
+ modify checklist.c to add item name to the "HELP" string when
|
|
"--help-button" is used and no --item-help option is given (Debian
|
|
#236841, report/patch by Jorg Sommer).
|
|
+ rename colors.h to dlg_colors.h, install that when the library is
|
|
installed.
|
|
+ add copyright notice to usage ("--help") message.
|
|
+ correct a missing bounds check for mouse-clicks in menubox (prompted
|
|
by Debian #233044).
|
|
+ updated several configure-script macros: AM_GNU_GETTEXT,
|
|
AM_WITH_NLS, CF_OUR_MESSAGES, CF_PROG_EXT, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC,
|
|
CF_WITH_DMALLOC, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL, CF_XOPEN_SOURCE.

2004/03/01
|
|
+ improve layout of calendar widget to allow for very long button
|
|
labels (report by Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ correct logic for $DIALOG_TTY, broken in 2003/11/30. The environment
|
|
variable must evaluate to a nonzero integer (report by Florent
|
|
Rougon).
|
|
+ document interaction between "--default-no" and "--no-cancel" options
|
|
in manpage (Debian #223488).
|
|
+ change configure script to use autoconf 2.52+patch, to work around
|
|
issues with Estonian locale (report by Seemant Kulleen).
|
|
+ add uk.po (Ukrainian) (Debian #232441).
|
|
+ make --default-item apply to checklist widget (Debian #225255).
|
|
+ correct a missing check for --item-help when --help-status was given
|
|
for checklist (Debian #232921).
|
|
+ correct a missing bounds check for mouse-clicks in checklist (Debian
|
|
#233044).
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2003/12/07
|
|
+ correct infinite loop in yesno widget when "--defaultno" option is
|
|
combined with "--no-cancel" (Debian #223077).
|
|
|
|
2003/11/30
|
|
+ suppress double-quotes added for "--help-status" option if the
|
|
string does not contain any special characters.
|
|
|
|
2003/11/26
|
|
+ add samples/sourcemage.rc, for comparison with slackware.rc
|
|
+ add "--insecure" option (request by Sean Mathews (DrWho@f34r.com)).
|
|
+ make "--defaultno" option apply to widgets which use OK/Cancel
|
|
buttons as well (Debian #209030).
|
|
+ improve documentation of exit-codes for each widget in the manpage
|
|
(Debian #217926).
|
|
+ add option "--keep-window" to suppress repainting after completing
|
|
each widget (request by Ingo van Lil).
|
|
+ add options "--yes-label" and "--no-label" to allow override of the
|
|
"Yes" and "No" strings (request by Christoph Zwerschke).
|
|
+ add option "--help-status" to allow script to restore a checklist
|
|
or radiolist after processing an item-help string (Debian #209031).
|
|
+ modify width-calculation for non-formatted text to ensure it is
|
|
wide enough for the longest word in the text (patch by Andrew Gaul).
|
|
+ modify dlg_index_columns() to count a newline as a single cell rather
|
|
than 2 for the normal curses case. This fixes an off-by-one for
|
|
the text-justification, shown in screen 2 of msgbox1 sample script.
|
|
+ fix dlg_char_to_button(); 2003/09/10 changes made it incorrectly
|
|
ignore case of the labels.
|
|
+ change calendar's use of arrow keys so they are (as before 2002/06/22)
|
|
interpreted within the day-grid as movement within that grid (request
|
|
by David Anders).
|
|
+ correct missing initialization of last_getc variable in dlg_getc()
|
|
(report/analysis by Victor Wodecki).
|
|
+ modify main program to make
|
|
dialog --no-shadow --print-maxsize
|
|
work. Normally dialog prints the screen size after subtracting the
|
|
area reserved for shadows, but some applications may need the actual
|
|
screen size (Debian #213424).
|
|
+ several related changes (Debian #213425):
|
|
+ separate the examples using "--stdout" and "--output-fd" from the
|
|
normal usage examples.
|
|
+ add "--input-fd" option, provide a sample of its use.
|
|
+ modify init_dialog() to use initscr() unless a "--stdout" option
|
|
was used. Some scripts relied on the coincidence that redirecting
|
|
standard output from dialog would "work". Before this change
|
|
init_dialog() assumed that redirected standard output was
|
|
synonymous with "--stdout" option (not the intended behavior).
|
|
+ modify command-line parsing to look for "--stdout" and "--stderr"
|
|
options first, allowing only one.
|
|
+ add a check for an environment variable $DIALOG_TTY which provides
|
|
the older behavior, i.e., try to open the terminal directly if
|
|
stdout is redirected.
|
|
+ interface changes, to make libdialog simpler to use:
|
|
+ rename all of the internal functions to begin with "dlg_", but
|
|
provide compatibility with older names if the application defines
|
|
__DIALOG_OLD_NAMES__.
|
|
+ add dialog_version() function, and corresponding DIALOG_VERSION and
|
|
DIALOG_PATCHDATE definitions to dlg_config.h
|
|
+ eliminate remaining global variables such as screen_initialized in
|
|
favor of dialog_state and dialog_vars.
|
|
+ move some data such as dialog_vars.output to dialog_state, since
|
|
they are normally not reset between widgets.
|
|
+ change interfaces of dialog_yesno() and dialog_checklist() to use
|
|
dialog_state.defaultno and dialog_vars.separate_output, making it
|
|
simpler and more consistent.
|
|
+ improve configure script and related definitions:
|
|
+ add "--with-libtool" option to provide shared library support by
|
|
libtool.
|
|
+ rename generated "config.h" to "dlg_config.h", so it can be
|
|
installed without naming conflict. Added "dlg_config.h" to
|
|
install-lib rule.
|
|
+ modify configure script and makefile to use EXEEXT and OBJEXT.
|
|
+ add "--enable-widec" option to control whether wide-curses features
|
|
are compiled-in, rather than check for the existence of those in
|
|
the curses library. This allows building with HPUX curses, which
|
|
has abandoned legacy features while not quite supporting X/Open
|
|
curses.
|
|
+ add configure check for getbegx(), etc., which are not provided on
|
|
all platforms.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2003/10/02
|
|
+ update hu.po (Arpad Biro).
|
|
+ revert part of the 2003/08/18 change to "--stdout" option. Using
|
|
stderr for screen output does not work well on several platforms
|
|
since stdout's settings are affected (report by Kent Robotti).
|
|
|
|
2003/09/24
|
|
+ modify tailbox to allow it to display files with arbitrarily long
|
|
lines.
|
|
+ fix an infinite loop in tailbox, broken when making interface changes
|
|
to dlg_getc() (report by Ingo van Lil).
|
|
+ amend fix for "--and-widget" to not treat "---" as an option (report
|
|
by Kent Robotti).
|
|
+ updated es.po (Santiago Vila).
|
|
|
|
2003/09/10
|
|
+ correct "RENAMED" result from inputmenu widget, which did not reset
|
|
the result buffer, and did not account for scroll-offset (Debian
|
|
#209336).
|
|
+ modify button, menu and checklist logic that matches a character to
|
|
the beginning of a text field to support wide-characters (completes
|
|
Debian #195674).
|
|
+ modify configure script to not use "head -1".
|
|
|
|
2003/08/30
|
|
+ modify searchbox popup in textbox widget so one can simply press
|
|
return on an empty input to cancel the popup.
|
|
+ modify error reporting to avoid clearing screen if a problem is
|
|
found in the ".rc" file.
|
|
+ add color/attribute combinations for form widget (based on patch by
|
|
Reznic Valery).
|
|
+ combine rc-file colors, attribute- and color-tables to obtain a
|
|
single table for color values, which requires less work to add new
|
|
entries.
|
|
+ modify fselect widget to make back-tab work again, since it was
|
|
broken by the rewrite of dlg_edit_string().
|
|
+ modify howmany_tags() so it will quit searching when it finds any
|
|
option, not only "--and-widget" (Debian #206636).
|
|
+ correct call to dlg_print_text() in print_line(), which did not
|
|
account for hidden characters (report/patch by David Poole).
|
|
+ modify print_button() to display properly if locale defines ok/cancel
|
|
or yes/no buttons that contain multibyte characters.
|
|
|
|
2003/08/20
|
|
+ correct an indexing error when deleting from the end of a line using
|
|
KEY_DC; it happened to work on Linux because malloc() clears memory
|
|
like calloc().
|
|
+ add '\r' to case statement where '\n' is translated to KEY_ENTER to
|
|
work around defect in NetBSD curses.
|
|
+ modify configure check for getparyx(), etc., which are implemented
|
|
by NetBSD curses as functions rather than macros.
|
|
+ correct configure check for term.h, which may be <ncursesw/term.h>
|
|
if ncursesw development headers are installed, but not ncurses
|
|
development headers. Or they may not coincide (Debian #206287).
|
|
|
|
2003/08/18
|
|
+ modify checklist.c and menubox.c to display tags properly if they
|
|
contain wide-characters.
|
|
+ better solution for initializing curses when "--stdout" option is
|
|
used, e.g., use stderr for the output if it is a tty. Also correct
|
|
the error handling, so dialog exits with an error if it cannot
|
|
find a way to do output (Debian #205509).
|
|
+ modify sample scripts to use consistent definition of $DIALOG
|
|
(Debian #205508).
|
|
+ add UTF-8 examples inputbox6-utf8, inputbox6-utf8 (from Tomohiro
|
|
Kubota, Debian #195674).
|
|
+ modify print_line() to work with wide-characters, e.g., so it handles
|
|
wrapping for double-width characters.
|
|
+ cache results from multibyte character indices, speeds up cursor
|
|
movement.
|
|
+ modify form widget to support scrolling and mouse-selection.
|
|
+ add form widget (based on patch by Reznic Valery).
|
|
+ correct mouse-handling for inputmenu widget.
|
|
+ corrections to menu.c: location of clearing operation, and height of
|
|
rows in code for older ncurses versions (patch by Reznic Valery).
|
|
+ improve logic that compensates for xterm's alternate-screen by
|
|
cancelling the rmcup/smcup strings after the rmcup has been issued.
|
|
That ensures that dialog will not clear the screen on exit (report
|
|
by Javier Kohen).
|
|
+ modify initialization between widgets to retain the values for the
|
|
--aspect, --separate-widget and --tab-len options.
|
|
+ add --separator as an alias for --separate-widget (compatible with
|
|
Xdialog).
|
|
+ correct handling of Xdialog's --icon and --wmclass options, whose
|
|
parameter was not ignored.
|
|
+ correct logic for --separate-widget so its string is written before
|
|
each output, rather than only for --and-widget option (report by
|
|
Javier Kohen).
|
|
+ improve limit-check in center_label() for buttons.c (report by Tor
|
|
Vidar Havstad).
|
|
+ correct layout of --menu widget, which reduced display width due to
|
|
logic for --inputmenu being applied whether or not that configuration
|
|
was used (reports by Javier Kohen, Dimitar Zhekov and MAL
|
|
<mal@komcept.com>). Fixes Debian #201215.
|
|
+ modify gauge widget to support --begin option (Hans-Joachim Baader).
|
|
+ updated pl.po (Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
|
|
+ hide cursor while painting gauge.
|
|
+ add auto-sizing logic to gauge widget (reports by Javier Kohen and
|
|
Robert Schubert).
|
|
|
|
2003/07/20
|
|
+ rewrote inputstr.c, allowing it to enter and display wide-characters.
|
|
Some nonprinting characters such as control/B can be edited as well.
|
|
+ modify timebox to allow user to type numbers into the fields.
|
|
+ change interfaces of dlg_getc(), mouse_wgetch(), etc., to add
|
|
parameter that returns whether the result is really a function-key.
|
|
This is needed to work with wide-character curses.
|
|
+ correct computation of week-number in calendar widget (report by
|
|
Heiner Lamann).
|
|
+ updated configure script macros:
|
|
+ suppress -Winline with gcc 3.3, since it is broken.
|
|
+ fix caching bug in CF_UTF8_LIB
|
|
+ improved script for CF_BUNDLED_INTL.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2003/03/08
|
|
+ add null-pointer checks to some malloc calls which were overlooked.
|
|
+ correct logic in dlg_add_result(), which did not copy content of
|
|
non-allocated buffer to the first allocation (report by Daniel
|
|
Dupont).
|
|
|
|
2003/03/02
|
|
+ correct an uninitialized value in dlg_add_result() (Debian #182683).
|
|
|
|
2003/01/30
|
|
+ corrected print_line(), which subtracted the margin twice from the
|
|
right-limit, making a string wrap unnecessarily (Debian #168823).
|
|
+ correct initial limit-check for arrows in checklist.c, which used
|
|
the wrong variable, showing the bottom arrow when it should not
|
|
(Debian #168823).
|
|
+ modify driver to always call show_result(), to simplify updates.
|
|
+ fix several memory leaks, important if dialog is run with a large
|
|
number of widgets (report by albert.veli@telia.com forwarded by
|
|
Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ check if the screen output is actually to the terminal before trying
|
|
to suppress xterm's alternate screen mode (see 2000/01/18) (report by
|
|
David Oliveira).
|
|
+ use dialog_vars.input_result consistently to return the text which is
|
|
printed after a widget completes. In many cases, dialog now
|
|
allocates enough space to hold the text, rather than use a fixed
|
|
buffer. The checklist widget was writing directly to the output to
|
|
avoid limits of the fixed buffer.
|
|
+ modify dialog.c to also write dialog_vars.input_result if the
|
|
Help-button was pressed (request by Amon Ott).
|
|
+ add hu.po (Arpad Biro).
|
|
+ update fr.po, pt.po, pt_BR.po to add strings for "Help" button (patch
|
|
by Frederic L W Meunier).
|
|
+ fix off-by-one error in menu.c, checklist.c (reported by
|
|
Tomasz Wasiak 2002/09/15 and others:
|
|
Andrew Gaul 2002/11/12,
|
|
Tobias C Rittweiler 2002/11/19,
|
|
Arpad Biro 2003/01/21).
|
|
+ updated configure script, improving checks for ncurses in various
|
|
locations, updated NLS script to match lynx. Added --with-curses-dir
|
|
option.
|
|
> Tobias C Rittweiler:
|
|
+ make ifdef in mousewget.c consistent with usage in dialog.h
|
|
+ use beep() rather than flash() in dlg_edit_string(), for consistency
|
|
with the other functions.
|
|
+ change order of buttons so extra button falls between Ok/Cancel.
|
|
+ fix so "dialog --print-maxsize" exits from curses.
|
|
+ add --inputmenu option.
|
|
|
|
2002/08/14
|
|
+ modify checklist.c and menubox.c to treat the extra button like the
|
|
"Ok" button by making dialog print the chosen items (request by
|
|
Tobias C Rittweiler).
|
|
+ add examples checklist6 and menubox6 to illustrate the --colors
|
|
option.
|
|
+ implement -colors option, which allows one to highlight words in the
|
|
titles and most text areas with color or video attributes (adapted
|
|
from patch by Tobias C Rittweiler).
|
|
+ add examples inputbox4, inputbox5 to illustrate how to use the
|
|
--output-fd option, and how to use dialog without any temporary
|
|
file at all.
|
|
+ add --output-fd option (Debian #153984).
|
|
+ documented vi-style keys for calendar, textbox widgets in manpage.
|
|
|
|
2002/06/22
|
|
+ improve mouse handling, e.g., for up/down scrolling in calendar,
|
|
checklist, etc.
|
|
+ add --extra-button and --extra-label options (adapted from patch
|
|
by Tobias C Rittweiler).
|
|
+ correct displayed cursor position in inputbox when returning to the
|
|
input area after traversing the buttons with tabs, etc.
|
|
+ add left/right arrows for traversal in calendar and timebox dialogs.
|
|
+ implement two new functions dlg_next_ok_buttonindex() and
|
|
dlg_prev_ok_buttonindex(), using these to hide details about the
|
|
traversal over buttons in several widgets.
|
|
+ modify checklist.c and menubox.c to verify if both --help-button and
|
|
--item-help are specified before assuming that selecting the help
|
|
button should cause the "HELP {item-help}" message to be printed
|
|
(reported by Marcel Ritter).
|
|
+ modify init_dialog() to work around HP's broken tty driver (report by
|
|
John Mudd). Specifically, the problem is that when opening /dev/tty
|
|
directly (to support the --stdout option), the terminal does not
|
|
change to raw mode. The workaround opens /dev/tty only as needed;
|
|
the --stdout option does not work on HPUX but otherwise dialog works.
|
|
+ updated el.po (patch by kromJx <kromJx@crosswinds.net>).
|
|
|
|
2002/05/19 - release 0.9b
|
|
+ add --no-collapse option to allow one to retain tabs and repeated
|
|
blanks in a message box (request by Roberto Simoni).
|
|
+ use DLG_EXIT_ESC constant rather than -1's in several places. This
|
|
has the effect of changing some exit-with-error cases to denote that
|
|
the exit was because ESC was pressed (patch by Diego Alvarez,
|
|
forward by Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ bump package version to 0.9b (with patch-date, as usual).
|
|
+ add --exit-label option (request by Roberto Simoni).
|
|
+ updated de.po to correct translation for "Cancel" (from Michael
|
|
Piefel, Debian #146402).
|
|
+ use definitions from autoconf macro AC_HEADER_TIME to ensure that
|
|
time() is properly prototyped.
|
|
+ update pl.po, adding translation for "Help" (patch by Jaroslaw
|
|
Swierczynski <swiergot@hacking.pl>).
|
|
+ update COPYING file, to reflect address change of FSF (reported by
|
|
Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ update some configuration script macros: CF_CHECK_CACHE,
|
|
CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS, CF_HEADER_PATH and CF_MAKEFLAGS.
|
|
+ correct misuse of "$with_XXX" variables in the configure script,
|
|
which prevented configuration against curses library as opposed to
|
|
ncurses.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
|
|
2002/03/09 (a)
|
|
+ modify geometry of samples/fselect scripts to allow them to run in
|
|
a 24x80 screen (report/patch by Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ correct exit-code for menubox.c when Cancel is pressed. This was
|
|
unintentionally altered when adding --help-button (reported by
|
|
Patrick J Volkerding)
|
|
|
|
2002/03/09
|
|
+ add --timeout option, which forces the program to exit with an error
|
|
if no user response is given within the specified number of seconds
|
|
(request by <andrew@argoncorp.com>).
|
|
+ modify calendar widget to allow day/month/year values to default to
|
|
the current date (request by <Ron.Perrella@bellsouth.com>).
|
|
+ modify display of buttons in checklist.c and menubox.c to handle the
|
|
case where the button label is empty (Debian #134388).
|
|
+ extended logic for ok/cancel/help to make this work with checklist
|
|
widget.
|
|
+ revert pt_BT.po, apply changes to pt.po (report by Frederic L W
|
|
Meunier).
|
|
> several changes from Stanislav Ievlev:
|
|
+ add options --help-button and --help-label to make menubox display a
|
|
third button which can be used to return an exit code causing the
|
|
calling script to show extended help information.
|
|
+ use home/end keys in input string-editing, e.g., inputbox.
|
|
+ add option --max-input to limit length of string returned by inputbox
|
|
and other widgets which allow the user to edit a string.
|
|
|
|
2001/12/02
|
|
+ add --ok-label and --cancel-label options (request by Kyle Sallee).
|
|
+ correct usage message for --fselect option (reported by Patrick J
|
|
Volkerding).
|
|
+ add samples/debian.rc, for comparison with slackware.rc
|
|
+ corrected samples/slackware.rc, which was just the compiled-in
|
|
default values (patch by Patrick J Volkerding).
|
|
+ modify search rule for rc-file to add a global rc file /etc/dialogrc
|
|
(patch by Patrick J Volkerding).
|
|
+ updated pt_BR.po with modified entries for fselect.c (Frederic L W
|
|
Meunier).
|
|
+ add pl.po (Swiergot <swiergot@l02.ids.czest.pl>).
|
|
|
|
2001/11/11
|
|
+ modify command-line parsing to allow a "--" argument to act as an
|
|
escape, so the next argument is not recognized as an option if it
|
|
begins with "--". This is apparently one of popt's undocumented
|
|
features, upon which some Debian scripts depend (Debian #116642).
|
|
+ add da.po (Morten Brix Pedersen <morten@wtf.dk>).
|
|
+ add an install-strip rule to makefile, changing the normal install
|
|
rule to not strip the installed executable (based on discussion with
|
|
Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ initialize my_output variable if user cannot open /dev/tty, e.g., if
|
|
su'd to another user (patch by Richard Braakman (<dark@ssh.com>), Debian
|
|
#117177).
|
|
+ add configure option --with-ncursesw, to allow configure/build with
|
|
wide-character version of ncurses.
|
|
|
|
2001/10/14
|
|
+ add option --ignore, to make dialog be ignore options that it does
|
|
not recognize.
|
|
+ add option --trim, to trim literal newlines and repeated spaces from
|
|
text that will be displayed. Add samples/msgbox2, which is the
|
|
same as msgbox1, but using --trim (cf: change for Debian #102942).
|
|
+ minor correction to attributes for buttons.c to use active_attr on
|
|
the right-side of a button.
|
|
+ add a sample dialog rc-file slackware.rc based on diffs in hdasetup
|
|
package at
|
|
http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/slackware/slackware/source/a/hdsetup/
|
|
(discussion with Frederic L W Meunier).
|
|
+ modify dialog.pl to avoid using a statically-named tempfile, allowing
|
|
multiple processes to use this script (patch by James Ranson
|
|
(<euclid80@yahoo.com>), Debian #110609).
|
|
+ correct fprintf() call in j_menu() function, i.e., "--menu" option,
|
|
which did not guard against expanding '%' embedded in the parameters
|
|
(Stavros Chatzistefanidis <sxatz@yahoo.com>).
|
|
+ add et.po (Ivar Smolin <okul@trenet.ee>).
|
|
+ update fr.po (Frederic L W Meunier).
|
|
+ modify to allow scripts to alter the exit codes, mainly to
|
|
distinguish ESC and ERROR exits. This is done by setting a shell
|
|
variable such as DIALOG_ESC to a new value (request by Petr Vandrovec
|
|
(<vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>), Debian #99264)
|
|
|
|
2001/08/27
|
|
+ use VPATH in makefile to support build with configure --srcdir, if
|
|
the make program supports that. Note that samples/install/makefile
|
|
is not generated, due to awkward limitation of autoconf script
|
|
(reported by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>).
|
|
+ add po/pt_BR.po (Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>).
|
|
+ correct sense of --enable/--disable shown in configure --help (report
|
|
by Frederic L W Meunier <0@pervalidus.net>).
|
|
+ correct logic for --clear option, broken in 2000/07/02 (fixes Debian
|
|
#110254).
|
|
|
|
2001/08/11
|
|
+ porting fixes to work on AIX: flush output to work around bug in
|
|
curses library, use ./killall in scripts to avoid conflict with
|
|
AIX program by that name.
|
|
+ modify dlg_trim_string() to retain literal newlines if the string
|
|
does not contain "\\n" strings, and to retain leading blanks on the
|
|
resulting lines, for compatibility with older scripts (Debian
|
|
#102942).
|
|
+ add charset specification to cs.po
|
|
+ change dates in CHANGES to consistent format, add el.po for Greek
|
|
(patch by kromJx <kromJx@crosswinds.net>).
|
|
+ eliminate static globals (bss, data) from modules rc, tailbox,
|
|
textbox using better parameter-passing convention, and const.
|
|
+ cleanup temporary files in a few of the sample scripts.
|
|
+ rewrote tailboxbg using select() rather than fork(), thereby
|
|
eliminating lock-files. Only one process should be trying to display
|
|
on the screen at any given time.
|
|
+ add error check to ensure that numeric parameters are really numbers.
|
|
+ correct off-by-one in error messages reporting too-few or too-many
|
|
tokens for a given option (reported by George Mirchev).
|
|
+ fix typo in manpage, "textboxbg" where "tailboxbg" was meant
|
|
(reported by George Mirchev <la@mail.techno-link.com>).
|
|
+ use DLG_EXIT_xxx symbols consistently for all exit codes.
|
|
+ updated es.po (patch by Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ updates for some configure script macros from lynx: CF_MAKEFLAGS,
|
|
CF_NCURSES_VERSION, CF_PROG_EXT.
|
|
+ fixes to compile if <term.h> is included, e.g., when building with
|
|
AIX curses (report by Suzi Dowson <Suzi.Dowson@capgemini.co.uk>).
|
|
|
|
2001/05/27
|
|
+ updated dialog.pot
|
|
+ modify fselect.c to work with autosize, i.e., given height and width
|
|
zero (report by Martin Povolny).
|
|
+ add a null-pointer check in justify_text(), needed by fselect.c
|
|
+ add several more options which dialog can safely ignore, from
|
|
Xdialog 2.0.2
|
|
+ refinements for configure macros checking for $CPPFLAGS, from lynx.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub to match autoconf 2.50
|
|
> Martin Povolny <martin@solnet.cz>:
|
|
+ add cs.po
|
|
+ use nl_langinfo() to customize names for day-of-week, and month
|
|

|
> Vincent Stemen <dialog@AdvancedResearch.org>:
|
|
Fixed dialog.c to not pass menu items through dlg_trim_string().
|
|
Stripping extra spaces out of the menu items broke some of my
|
|
scripts by altering the string that it compared to know which menu
|
|
item was selected. There should be no need to do justification on
|
|
the menu items, which are always one line, anyway.
|
|
|
|
2001/04/29
|
|
> Vincent Stemen <dialog@AdvancedResearch.org>:
|
|
+ rewrote the text justification code to be able to have preformatted
|
|
text in the prompts with extra spaces like the older versions of
|
|
dialog. If there are "\n" strings in the text, then extra spaces are
|
|
preserved. Lines are always wrapped on word boundaries.
|
|
+ fixed --cr-wrap to break lines on '\n' (newline) characters and not
|
|
add an extra line at the top and bottom of the text. It now works
|
|
as the manual says it should.
|
|
+ it is no longer necessary to use "\n\" at the end of lines to escape
|
|
the '\n' character. "\n" now works. However, the old way, "\n\"
|
|
still works.
|
|
+ the fixes involved the following changes:
|
|
- rewrote dlg_trim_string() to recognize preformatted text (know
|
|
when not to strip extra spaces) and to pay attention to --cr-wrap.
|
|
- rewrote justify_text() which now calls a new function in util.c,
|
|
print_line(), to print each line and end it on a word boundary.
|
|
- modified real_auto_size() to call a new function
|
|
auto_size_preformated() to calculate the box size for preformatted
|
|
text.
|
|
- removed skip_blanks() and skip_text() since they are not used by
|
|
the new justify_text().
|
|
- modified dialog.c to not call dlg_trim_string() on title strings
|
|
so that titles retain their spaces.
|
|
+ modified the following demo files in the sample directory:
|
|
- inputbox
|
|
changed all "\n\" strings to "\n" to demonstrate the extra
|
|
backslash is no longer needed.
|
|
- inputbox1
|
|
removed all the "\n\" strings from the end of the lines to
|
|
properly demonstrate --cr-wrap.
|
|
- msgbox1
|
|
this sample was using "--aspect 9 --cr-wrap". Rewrote it to
|
|
properly demonstrate --aspect. 9 is already dialog's default
|
|
aspect ratio. It now creates several dialogs in sequence,
|
|
demonstrating aspect ratios of 9, 12 and 6 and properly
|
|
demonstrates --cr-wrap.
|
|
+ made the following changes to the manual (dialog.1).
|
|
- rewrote the description of --aspect to be more understandable.
|
|
- rewrote the description of --cr-wrap to be more correct and more
|
|
detailed. It did say, "Otherwise, the text for each dialog will
|
|
display on a single line.", which is not correct. It wraps the
|
|
text to fit in the box.
|
|
> T.Dickey:
|
|
+ use logic from menubox dialog in checklist to handle autosizing when
|
|
list height is given as zero (fixes problem reported by Eric Veltman
|
|
<eveltman@baan.nl>).
|
|
+ modify checklist and menubox dialogs to check for too-wide data, and
|
|
truncate one or both of the name and text fields to fit (also
|
|
reported by Eric Veltman).
|
|
+ corrected a few items from Vincent's patch:
|
|
- use C89-style comments rather than C++
|
|
- restore logic in justify_text() which checks for win==0, needed to
|
|
work with standard curses implementations other than ncurses.
|
|
The first call on justify_text() passes a null pointer as a flag
|
|
to indicate that checking should be done, but no screen updates.
|
|
- avoid modifying the buffer in decode_percent(), otherwise a message
|
|
containing a space or newline would be truncated at the whitespace.
|
|
- modify dlg_button_x_step() and dlg_button_layout() slightly to
|
|
work with altered print_autowrap(), etc.
|
|
+ fixes to build/work with SunOS 4.x 5lib curses
|
|
|
|
2001/04/15
|
|
+ fix a memory leak in mouse_region().
|
|
+ simplify handling of optional parameters with new functions
|
|
optional_str() and optional_num().
|
|
+ add calendar and timebox dialogs (compatible with Xdialog).
|
|
+ correct typo in fallback definition for getparyx, and remove void
|
|
cast for mouse_open and mouse_close which prevented build with
|
|
Sun's Solaris compiler.
|
|
+ rename --enable-lxdialog configure option to --enable-Xdialog
|
|
+ modify CF_NCURSES_CPPFLAGS macro to match more variations of ncurses
|
|
header files.
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub
|
|
+ modify some configure script macros to avoid problems with buggy
|
|
autoconf 2.49c which breaks changequote().
|
|
|
|
2001/01/15
|
|
+ small fix to revised real_auto_size() and justify_text() to avoid
|
|
adding origin to box-width, which broke samples/wheel.
|
|
+ apply 1999/12/25 tempfile change to wheel and copismall samples.
|
|
+ add sample script for tailboxbg.
|
|
+ revised lock-file management to better ensure that locks are actually
|
|
created by the tailbox subprocess(es).
|
|
+ correct hardcoded signal 15 in tailbox to SIGHUP to match
|
|
documentation. Signal 15 is usually SIGTERM, which cannot be caught.
|
|
+ correct off-by-one comparison of return-value for arg_rest() which
|
|
made
|
|
dialog --gauge test 10 50
|
|
dump core because it expected a 4th parameter (fixes Debian #80641).
|
|
+ resync config.sub, config.guess from
|
|
http://subversions.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/config/ (which finally have
|
|
cases for OS/2 EMX), minor tweaks to related configure script macros.
|
|
|
|
2000/12/17
|
|
+ restore treatment of predefined height/width in real_auto_size()
|
|
which was lost in 2000/12/12 rewrite (report by Raphael Halimi
|
|
<raphaelh@easynet.fr>).
|
|
+ updates for configure script macros AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST,
|
|
CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_LIB_PREFIX, CF_PROG_EXT for $PATHSEP and $CFLAGS
|
|
fixes.
|
|
|
|
2000/12/13
|
|
+ correct change for create_lock(), which resulted in an infinite loop
|
|
(patch by Chris Butler, <chrisb@debian.org>).
|
|
|
|
2000/12/12
|
|
+ rewrote print_autowrap() and real_auto_size() to share common code
|
|
justify_text(), which now does text flow even when the string
|
|
contains newlines (fixes Debian #77199).
|
|
+ improve create_lock() function using open() with O_EXCL rather than
|
|
fopen() (patch by Matt Kraai (<kraai@debian.org>), Debian #78951).
|
|
+ correct description of --fselect in man page (patch by Tomas Pospisek
|
|
(<tpo@spin.ch>), Debian #77200).
|
|
+ add --no-cancel as alias for --nocancel for compatibility with
|
|
Xdialog (report by Luis E Limon <luisl@abriasoft.com>).
|
|
|
|
2000/10/27
|
|
+ some lint fixes using lclint (mostly void-casts, but some
|
|
sign-extension fixes e.g., for ctype.h macros, and loop in
|
|
dlg_char_to_button()).
|
|
+ modified to build/run on OS/2 EMX with ncurses.
|
|
+ minor changes to po/*.po (trim trailing blanks, provide explicit
|
|
translation for "OK"), to work with Solaris gettext.
|
|
+ modified to allow this to build with archaic version (1.8.6)
|
|
of ncurses on FreeBSD 3.1 (does not run).
|
|
+ update config.guess, config.sub from subversions.gnu.org
|
|
|
|
2000/10/17
|
|
+ use new function sub_window() to check success/failure of calls to
|
|
subwin(), printing an error message if it fails (fixes Debian #74903).
|
|
+ use combination of isatty/ttyname to look for workable tty device
|
|
on systems which have no /dev/tty, e.g., BeOS.
|
|
|
|
2000/10/08
|
|
+ change exiterr() to use stdarg.h, make some messages easier to
|
|
understand.
|
|
+ add dialog_clear()
|
|
+ make samples/install/setup build.
|
|
+ implemented mouse support for buttons, e.g., in yesno dialog using
|
|
ncurses (the gpm support no longer works, but is useful for reference)
|
|
+ add a configure check for chtype.
|
|
+ updates for configure script macros (CF_BUNDLED_INTL, CF_CURSES_LIBS,
|
|
CF_GCC_ATTRIBUTES, CF_GCC_WARNINGS, CF_INCLUDE_DIRS), and scripts
|
|
config.guess, config.sub
|
|
+ cleanup of item-help change, integrate with checklist and radiobox.
|
|
+ add ja.po, from Hirofumi Takeda <takepin@turbolinux.co.jp>.
|
|
> patch by Marco Mariani <marcom@sferacarta.com>
|
|
+ add --item-help option, which makes menubox data interpreted as
|
|
3 columns rather than 2. The third column is displayed on the
|
|
last line of the screen as a help/status message for the currently
|
|
selected item.
|
|
+ add it.po, pt.po
|
|
+ change TAG_KEY_HL to FALSE, making unselected items in checklist
|
|
easier to read on Linux console.
|
|
|
|
2000/07/30
|
|
+ change real_auto_size() to allow it to be used for dialogs that have
|
|
no prompt, e.g., fselect. Also, rather than requiring both height
|
|
and width to be given as -1 for maximizing the dialog, allow either
|
|
alone.
|
|
+ increase minimum height needed for autosized yesno dialog.
|
|
+ add --version as an alias for --print-version.
|
|
+ fix for build on Solaris without NLS (cannot redefine 'gettext()').
|
|
+ add fselect dialog (compatible with Xdialog).
|
|
+ add --enable-lxdialog configure option.
|
|
+ use new configure macro CF_ARG_MSG_ENABLE to show progress with
|
|
enable/disable switches.
|
|
|
|
2000/07/02
|
|
+ implement --stdout and --stderr options as in Xdialog.
|
|
+ move logic that translates "\\n" into '\n' into main program to
|
|
simplify logic that formats text.
|
|
+ make ifdef's for rc-file not specific to ncurses.
|
|
+ correct logic making percent parameter of gauge optional.
|
|
|
|
2000/06/29
|
|
+ add alternate test-script for gauge, adapted from Xdialog.
|
|
+ modify gauge to make optional a percentage which was read at the
|
|
beginning of the XXX-delimited message text, since clones of dialog
|
|
are written to assume this is text. If the line is not a simple
|
|
integer, dialog will treat it as text.
|
|
+ make the percent parameter of gauge optional, as in Xdialog.
|
|
+ undo one use of CharOf() in guage.c, an error.
|
|
+ fix configure macro AM_WITH_NLS to refrain from attempting to make a
|
|
symbolic link into/libintl.h if we are not using the bundled intl
|
|
directory from gettext (reported by Julian Coleman
|
|
<J.D.Coleman@newcastle.ac.uk>).
|
|
+ add ru.po, from Michael Sobolev <mss@transas.com>
|
|
+ updates for config.guess, config.sub from tin.
|
|
+ updates for configure script macros: CF_MATH_LIB (improperly nested
|
|
brackets/parenthesis) and CF_XOPEN_CURSES (make include of
|
|
<*curses.h> depend on configure tests).
|
|
|
|
2000/04/25
|
|
+ repaint screen when a control/L is pressed.
|
|
+ apply CharOf() macro to avoid sign-extension on calls to waddch(),
|
|
fixes a problem with accented characters (reported by Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ add es.po, from Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>
|
|
|
|
2000/04/23
|
|
+ modified to use gettext (configure option --enable-nls). This uses
|
|
gettext 0.10.35, which must be previously installed. (It can also
|
|
use an included intl library, but I consider that to be a waste of
|
|
disk space).
|
|
+ remove code in checklist/radiobox, menubox that try to use
|
|
abbreviations for the OK/Cancel buttons since those conflict with the
|
|
check for abbreviations in list entries, which are more useful.
|
|
+ moved padding of button labels out of string literals, into the
|
|
logic of dlg_draw_buttons().
|
|
+ resync/update with configure macros CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_FIND_LIBRARY,
|
|
CF_HEADER_PATH, CF_LIBRARY_PATH and CF_NCURSES_LIBS, as well as
|
|
mkdirs.sh and config.guess.
|
|
|
|
2000/02/22
|
|
+ add --default-item option, for menubox to set the default selection
|
|
(fixes Debian #49796).
|
|
+ add sample scripts for --nocancel and --fb options with inputbox.
|
|
+ modify inputbox* sample scripts to show application errors, if any.
|
|
+ add --nocancel option, and ignore --noitem, --fb, --fullbutton, to
|
|
make this compatible with whiptail scripts. (whiptail does not
|
|
handle many dialog scripts however).
|
|
+ modify checklist/radiobox to handle home, end, nextpage, prevpage
|
|
keys, as well as make the abbreviation search work for the whole
|
|
list, not only the current page.
|
|
+ treat KEY_LL the same as KEY_END in checklist and textbox.
|
|
+ add logic for KEY_BTAB.
|
|
+ use new function dlg_draw_buttons() to better manage the layout of
|
|
yes/no/ok/cancel buttons.
|
|
+ another pass of cleanup of dialog.c, makes it use a single table for
|
|
lookup of option names and help-message. Eliminated numerous
|
|
adjustments to 'offset' variable.
|
|
+ on initialization, check if standard input is from a terminal. If
|
|
not, open /dev/tty (fixes Debian #57771)
|
|
|
|
2000/02/05
|
|
+ implement inline editing in textbox.c search dialog.
|
|
+ revise inputbox.c, allowing inline editing with arrow-keys. removed
|
|
redundant logic in that module.
|
|
+ correct a typo that prevented rc-file configuration from building.
|
|
+ correct ifdef's to compile/run if the curses implementation does not
|
|
support color.
|
|
|
|
2000/01/23
|
|
+ improve test-case for gauge.
|
|
+ change gauge.c to show progress in reverse-video, add a check for
|
|
end-of-file in the loop for reading new messages.
|
|
+ use curses whline() function to simplify print_arrows() logic in
|
|
checklist.c and menubox.c
|
|
+ use curses beep() function rather than hardcoded strings.
|
|
+ correct several compiler warnings for gcc -pedantic (mismatch of
|
|
const, signed/unsigned).
|
|
+ modify exiterr() to avoid possible expansion of '%'.
|
|
+ change CF_MATH_LIB configure macro to allow specifying a particular
|
|
test-function. For dialog, this should be sqrt(). The macro was
|
|
originally written for ncurses, which needs sin(). However, that is
|
|
a builtin function on the m68k port (reported by Roman Hodek
|
|
<Roman.Hodek@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>, this fixes Debian #55553).
|
|
|
|
2000/01/18
|
|
+ update manpage (Debian #25648).
|
|
+ modify configure test for math library to avoid using a constant
|
|
parameter to the test function, lest gcc optimize the call away
|
|
(fixes Debian #55553).
|
|
+ restructure help-message so actual problem is indicated. The original
|
|
help-message is shown if no parameters are given, or if the --help
|
|
option is specified alone.
|
|
+ suppress xterm's alternate screen mode by sending an exit_ca_mode
|
|
after initscr if the terminal looks like xterm, e.g., has key_mouse
|
|
defined, and has private-mode escapes in both enter_ca_mode and
|
|
exit_ca_mode (fixes Debian #55181).
|
|
+ change yellow lettering on white to blue on white, since it offers
|
|
better contrast (fixes Debian #51196).
|
|
+ use napms() rather than sleep().
|
|
+ some cleanup/simplification of main program. Indent'd dialog.c and
|
|
util.c
|
|
+ eliminate several places where repeated options are treated as
|
|
an error, since they are really executed once anyway.
|
|
|
|
2000/01/15
|
|
+ remove pre-autoconf Makefile
|
|
+ remove sleep's from a few of the sample scripts, which left users
|
|
thinking that dialog was slow to complete an action.
|
|
+ rewrote infobox sample script, using dialog's --sleep option and
|
|
a loop in the script.
|
|
+ change 'ch' variable in tailbox.c to an integer, because it is
|
|
compared against EOF (fixes Debian #53157).
|
|
+ corrected mandir variable in makefile.in (reported by Santiago Vila).
|
|
+ small changes to sample scripts, from Debian: rename "guage" script
|
|
to "gauge", change path to copy of GPL used in textbox.
|
|
+ add uninstall rule to makefile.in, fixed some dependencies so
|
|
"make install" works without first doing "make all".
|
|
|
|
1999/12/25
|
|
+ use more portable scheme for tempfile generation in samples.
|
|
+ add a configure script, prefer to not use the original Makefile
|
|
because it works only with GNU make.
|
|
+ correct prototype of 'main()', which misused const.
|
|
+ modify guage.c to use fgets() rather than gets().
|
|
+ merge changes from Debian package maintainer
|
|
Santiago Vila <sanvila@ctv.es>:
|
|
|
|
1999/10/07
|
|
+ add a password dialog box (Debian #45964, patch by Joey Hess).
|
|
+ implement "--defaultno" option to specify if the default for
|
|
the yes/no box is "No" (Debian #46076, patch by Joey Hess).
|
|
1999/03/10
|
|
+ modify input.c to clear the input field to the right of the
|
|
given string, to help with screen-refresh
|
|
1998/12/08
|
|
+ check for list_height less than one in checklist.c (Debian
|
|
#22239).
|
|
1998/10/21
|
|
+ use function wscrl() in preference to scroll() in checklist.c
|
|
and menubox.c (unclear: in ncurses, scroll() is a macro that
|
|
uses wscrl()).
|
|
+ remove the "-I/usr/include/ncurses" option from Makefile
|
|
since Debian does not install ncurses' header files into
|
|
that directory.
|
|
1998/09/12
|
|
+ simplify menubox.c using new functions print_arrows() and
|
|
print_items(). add logic to handle KEY_NPAGE and KEY_PPAGE
|
|
(Debian #26326).
|
|
+ modifications to provide sample scripts (Debian #26211):
|
|
+ change sample scripts to use Debian tempfile utility rather
|
|
than putting files into /tmp.
|
|
+ change sample scripts to use 'dialog' from user's path
|
|
rather than in the parent directory as in the build
|
|
directory.
|
|
+ use the system copy of GPL rather than that in the build
|
|
directory as an example for the textbox script.
|
|
|
|
1999/11/27
|
|
+ fix some gcc warnings about ambiguous use of "else"
|
|
|
|
1999/05/01
|
|
+ cleaned up some of the redundant code with new functions:
|
|
box_x_ordinate
|
|
box_y_ordinate
|
|
draw_title
|
|
draw_bottom_box
|
|
new_window
|
|
|
|
+ modified msgbox.c and yesno.c to work with the KEY_RESIZE sigwinch
|
|
handling in ncurses 4.2
|
|
|
|
+ corrected spelling of "gauge"
|
|
|
|
The relevant portions of the Debian change log for the original version
|

|
+ dialog.c: dialog_input_result printed with "%s" format. This was
|
|
Debian #9913, fixed by Bill Mitchell, but the change was lost.
|
|
+ Pristine source, .depend is not removed in clean target. Instead, it
|
|
is made zero length (otherwise it would not work *without* fakeroot).
|
|
+ Added '^U' support in input box (Debian #9915, patch by Joey Hess).
|
|
+ Wrote patch to fix core-dumping problem (Debian #13170). Sven Rudolph
