2007/10/28
+ improve layout of checklist.c, menubox.c, ensuring that the list fits
within the available space (report by Gordon Schumacher).
+ undo removal of redundant chunk from checklist.c in 2007/02/27,
since some scripts depend on this (Debian #443077).
+ update nl.po from
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
2007/09/30
+ correct cursor position in editbox after deleting past left margin
(report by Joe McDonagh).
+ add "--no-ok" option (patch by Klaus Knopper).
+ modify "--file" option to allow it to read from sources other than
a regular file (patch by Pieter van Beek).
+ improved hi.po (Hindi) (from Klaus Knopper).
+ fix masking of attributes in dlg_draw_shadow() which lost
line-drawing bit (report by David Everly).
+ fix editbox widget to handle zero-length files (report by Joe
McDonagh).
+ update "po" files eu.po ga.po it.po ms.po sv.po vi.po wa.po zh_CN.po
from
http://translationproject.org/latest/dialog/
2007/07/04
+ revise the resizable shadows so textbox's search dialog has text
visible in the shadow again.
+ improve the prefixing of autoconf-related symbols in the installed
header files, taking into account symbols which are not mentioned in
dlg_config.h
+ add a check when ERR returned from wgetch() to ensure that the
input/output streams are still valid. If that happens, force
ESC to be returned, quitting dialog (report by Reiner Huober).
+ add extern "C" declarations to dlg_keys.h so the corresponding
function declarations are exported to C++ as C symbols.
+ updated config.guess, config.sub
2007/06/04
+ fix a memory leak in editbox.c
+ revise change from 2007/02/27 which moved the logic for trimming
option text out of the loop because that moved it before
initialization of the "--trim" option. Put it back in the loop, but
limit the tokens which are trimmed to cover only those for the
current widget. Also ensure that all tokens for a widget are
trimmed, rather than only the first, which is usually text (report by
Lai Zit Seng).
+ add _FILE_OFFSET_BITS definition in CF_LARGEFILE configure macro.
2007/05/28
+ revise changes needed to make textbox's searchbox handle ncurses
resizing events, e.g., by handling the ERR in that code rather than
in dlg_getc() (Debian #423732).
2007/05/14
+ supply a repaint_text() call in tailbox.c which was bypassed because
dlg_getc() now retries on ERR (Debian #423732, cf: 2007/02/27).
+ modify dlg_getc() to fix regression for use of timeouts, broken by
fixes to allow resizing of textbox (patch by Arnaud Fontaine, Debian
#418905, cf: 2007/02/27).
+ modify dlg_getc() to fix regression in use of TAB for traversal of
tailboxbg widgets due to changes for user-definable key bindings
(Debian #418917, cf: 2005/12/07).
2007/04/09
+ add case in dlg_getc() to handle tab for traversing between widgets
as in the samples/tailboxbg1 script. Normally the key binding
overrides, except for the special case where multiple widgets are
available.
+ add configure --with-libtool-opts, which passes its value to the
library creation and linkage passes, e.g.,
--with-libtool-opts=-static
to force the result to be static libraries (prompted by a related
request by Santiago Vila).
> several fixes based on Coverity scan:
+ fix memory leak in timebox, calendar widgets if the widget cannot
be created.
+ fix memory leak in dlg_key.c if a user binding's storage cannot
be allocated.
+ fix improperly delinked entry in dlg_del_window().
2007/03/25
+ improve mkdirs.sh to ignore error from mkdir if the target directory
happens to already exist (suggested by Harald van Dijk).
+ amend documentation for --gauge to reflect longstanding quirk which
allows it to read percentage from the first line after an "XXX"
(Debian #415596).
+ fix makefile dependency so "configure && make install-lib" works.
+ fix resizing of msgbox; the message was not repainted (Debian
#415022, patch by Brian Rolfe).
+ fix typo in makefile LIB_OBJECT symbol from 2007/02/27 changes.
+ improve CF_MBSTATE_T by including stdio.h, needed on Tru64 to make
the test-compile work.
+ change makefile to install dialog.3 as part of install-lib rather
than install-man (report by Thomas Klausner).
+ use $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) for installing dialog-config (report by
Santiago Vila).
2007/02/27
+ add dialog-config script, which provides applications with compile-
and link-information for using the dialog library.
[pkgsrc: not installed, since library is not installed]
+ move calls to dlg_trim_string() out of loop in dialog.c, so each
string is trimmed once (report by Ivanov Makcim).
+ modify textbox.c to allow resizing while the search box is presented.
This relies on bug-fix in ncurses 5.6 20070224.
+ use dgettext() rather than gettext() to allow libdialog to use the
messages installed for dialog (patch by Vajna Miklos).
+ modify inputbox to position the cursor initially at the end of any
initial-text (request by Klaus Knopper).
+ add configure --with-valgrind for testing.
+ add --trace option, for debugging.
+ add --ascii-lines and --no-lines options to control the way the
line-drawing characters are rendered (request by Klaus Knopper).
+ add --keep-tite option, to override suppression of smcup/rmcup
(termcap ti/te) strings which would switch to xterm's alternate
screen (Debian #380665).
+ modify fselect/dselect to use space-character as a completion
operator like tab in shells (patch by Yoram Bar Haim).
+ remove a redundant chunk from checklist.c which reported status a
second time if the help-button was pressed but no item-help option
was in effect (Andre C Barros).
+ fix return-status from "dialog --pause" (Debian #409254).
+ add --mixedform and --mixedgauge dialogs based on patch from
Kiran Cherupally.
+ add some notes on compatibility to the manpage.
+ add editbox dialog (compatible with Xdialog, Debian #368478).
+ add dselect dialog (compatible with Xdialog).
+ remove an incorrect initialization of .text_flen from 2005/12/07
changes, which made all fields in a form editable (Debian #404045).
+ report error and exit if a filename given for the --file option
cannot be opened (report by "Dog Walker").
+ make --program-prefix, etc., work in configure script, e.g., to make
program install as "cdialog". This does not alter the library name.
+ add install-bin, install-man (and uninstall) rules to makefile.
+ updates for configure script macros (originally vile, lynx, xterm):
AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST, AM_WITH_NLS, CF_CURSES_CPPFLAGS,
CF_CURSES_LIBS, CF_INCLUDE_DIRS, CF_LARGEFILE, CF_MAKEFLAGS,
CF_PATH_SYNTAX, CF_SUBDIR_PATH, CF_SUBST, CF_WITH_DBMALLOC,
CF_WITH_DMALLOC, CF_WITH_LIBTOOL and CF_XOPEN_SOURCE.
+ updated config.guess, config.sub
> adapted fixes from SuSE package (Werner Fink):
+ add some limit-checks in dlg_draw_shadow().
+ make shadows resizable, using new dlg_move_window() in msgbox.c
and yesno.c
+ add dialog_state.input, use this in end_dialog() to decide whether
to close pipe inputs and call _exit(), or simply call exit().
+ modify dlg_ctl_size() to check if the reason for failure is because
shadows were used; retry in that case without shadows.
+ add signal catcher for SIGSEGV.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

there are no appreciable portions of original code remaining.
Marked sources to correspond.

curses.buildlink2.mk. This was wrong because we _really_ do want to
express that we want _n_curses when we include the buildlink2.mk file.
We should have a better way to say that the NetBSD curses doesn't
quite work well enough. In fact, it's far better to depend on ncurses
by default, and exceptionally note when it's okay to use NetBSD curses
for specific packages. We will look into this again in the future.
INCOMPAT_GETTEXT that are analogous to INCOMPAT_ICONV and contain lists of
shell wildcards intended to match against ${MACHINE_PLATFORM}. These
variables are used to note those platforms that have the named packages in
the base system but are incompatible in some way from the pkgsrc version
of the same package. Change INCOMPAT_CURSES to have the same sematics as
above. These variables allow much greater precision in specifying which
platforms have broken (for the purposes of pkgsrc) versions of software in
the base system that must be ignored.
The buildlink.mk files for these packages define private _INCOMPAT_*
versions of these variables, and they contain the default lists of
platforms that are known to have incompatible software bits.
