Dickey <dickey@invisible-island.net> This version of dialog was originally from a Debian snapshot. I've done this to it: +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 + + decrease table value for minimum number of arguments for the widgets + which use --no-items option (report by Raven Singularity). + + update configure macros: + + use $SHELL consistently, deprecate non-POSIX shell + + PKG_CONFIG may simply be unset - fix + + add option to allow changing ABI version, from ncurses6. + +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 configure macros for improved coding style from lynx changes. + + updated ro.po from + http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/ + + 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.
