salo 6e1f875134 Updated to version 2.0.6.
Based on a patch sent by Brian de Alwis via PR pkg/21567.

Changes:

- GNU make is not really needed
- install documentation and examples
- updated HOMEPAGE and MASTER_SITES
- DESCR has 80 columns
- style nits

2.0.6:
======
- Added the "Hide typing" check button into input boxes when
  --password option is in use.
- Corrected a bug where "unchecked" was not returned with
  --check and --inputbox combination when the enter key was
  pressed to close the box (bug reported by Scott Ostrander).
- Norvegian translations added (courtessy of Jostein
  Christoffer Andersen).

2.0.5:
======
- Corrected a bug (coredump on inexistant file passed to
  tailbox and logbox) introduced in v2.0.4.
- Upgraded to gettext v0.10.40.
- Removed all references to "RedHat" and "Linux" after
  "radiolist" and "checklist" samples scripts --backtitle
  options.

2.0.4:
======
- Debian packaging bug fix (missing "gettext" build dependency
  added).
- Improved --tailbox and --logbox loading of files at startup
  (based on a patch submitted by Christian Werner, although I
  only kept his excellent idea and implemented it my own way).
  The --smooth transient option disables this feature for the
  --logbox (because if the file is big, it may take quite some
  time to load and process, time during which no logbox menu
  display update occurs...).
- A cosmetic bug corrected into --logbox (the ending newline
  is removed from each line; it appeared as a space with a grey
  border with XFree86 v4.1.0/GTK+ v1.2.10).
- Ensure that "unchecked" is not returned when using the
  --check transient option with infobox, gauge and progress
  widgets (fool proofing, as the --check option is not for use
  with these widgets...).
- Better german translations, courtesy of Sven Backhausen.
- Brazilian/Portuguese translations, courtesy of Lucas
  Brasilino.
- Xdialog.wrapper changed so that the XDIALOG_FORCE_AUTOSIZE
  environment variable is set to "true" (if not already set
  to any value) before invoking Xdialog.
- Removed the --statistics option from msgfmt command line in
  po/Makefile.in.in so to allow compilation on Solaris (this
  may as well solves the compile problems on some Debian
  plateforms). Problem reported by "Exile In Paradise".
- Removed unnecessary po/*.c and po/*.h from the distribution.
- Slightly improved Xdialog.spec.
- Documentation updates and improvements (including a more
  complete man page).

2.0.3:
======
- New --ok-label and --cancel-label transient options added.
- Hungarian translations added (courtesy of Lenart Janos).
- Debianized source tree (courtesy of Lenart Janos).
- Doc. updates.

2.0.2:
======
- Spanish translations added (courtesy of Horacio Castellon).
- "make distclean" now removes "ltconfig" and "ltmain.sh" that
  are put in the directory when building with "rpm" (libtoolize
  is always ran by "rpm": it is plain useless here).
- Replaced the "%make" macro with "make" so to allow the RPM
  to build on RedHat systems.
- Changed doc/Xdialog.man, Makefile.am and Xdialog.spec so that
  the proper installation directory names are shown in the
  Xdialog man page.
- Make use of the new gettext 0.10.38 (for a better portability
  on non-GNU/Linux systems; suggested by Albert Chin-A-Young).
- Changed Xdialog.wrapper.c (samples directory) so that before
  calling Xdialog, it sets the XDIALOG_HIGH_DIALOG_COMPAT
  environment variable to "true" (if this variable is already
  set, its contents is not overwritten though, so it is always
  possible to set it to "false" if you don't like this
  feature).
- Doc. updates.
- A work around implemented for a getopt_long_only() bug that
  often made Xdialog v2.0.0/1 to segfault on unknown options.
- Two bugs removed from the progress widget (as a result, the
  "allrpms" sample script now works properly).
- New --smooth transient option added to get a smooth (flicker
  free but slow) scrolling in tailbox and logbox widgets.
- "kernel" sample script changed to make use of --smooth.
- Doc. updates.

2.0.1:
======
- Support for --with-included-gettext configure option added
  (patch courtesy of Albert Chin-A-Young).
- Russian translations added (courtesy of Stanislav Ievlev).
- Small compatibility fixes for compilation on non-linux
  platforms (courtesy of Peter Bray).
- New --ignore-eof transient option implemented for use with
  infobox and gauge widgets.
- Doc. updates.

2.0.0:
======
- Feature: XDIALOG_HIGH_DIALOG_COMPAT environment variable
  support added (makes Xdialog even more (c)dialog compatible,
  when set to TRUE).
  The new XDIALOG_FORCE_AUTOSIZE and XDIALOG_INFOBOX_TIMEOUT
  environment variables may also be used IOT customize Xdialog
  behaviour when the high (c)dialog compatibilty mode is on.
- Feature: new --combobox widget and associated --editable
  transient option implemented.
- Feature: new --spinbox, --2spinsbox and --3spinsbox widgets
  implemented.
- Feature: new --logbox widget and associated --time-stamp,
  --date-stamp, --reverse and --keep-colors transient options
  implemented.
- Feature: new --no-ok transient option for use with --tailbox
  and --logbox widgets.
- Feature: --beep and --beep-after transient options
  implemented (cdialog compatible).
- Feature: --passwordbox widget (cdialog compatible, synonym to
  --password --inputbox) implemented.
- Feature: it is now possible to place Xdialog windows at
  absolute pixel coordinates on the screen (provided your
  window manager lets you do so), by giving the origin into a
  "-geometry"-like coordinates specification (e.g.
  200x100+120+50), or by using the new --begin transient option
  (in characters coordinates).
- Feature: it is now possible to maximize Xdialog widgets by
  passing a -1 -1 (or -1x-1) size specification.
- Feature: the --backtitle, --button-style, --wizard,
  --no-cancel, --default-no and --check options are taken into
  account by (and may therefore be used with) the fselect
  and dselect widgets.
- Feature: the textbox and editbox widgets do now auto-size
  properly (the length of the text lines and the number of
  lines are taken into account).
- Feature: the status of --checklist, --radiolist, --buildlist
  and --treeview widgets items can now also be set to
  "unavailable" so to make items listed but unsensitive. It
  is also possible to make a --menubox item unavailable by
  associating it with a null (empty string) tag.
- Feature: --default-item transient option implemented
  (cdialog compatible) for --menubox.
- Feature: fake --clear option accepted alone in command line
  (it does nothing, it just doesn't complain about a missing
  box option), for (c)dialog compatibility
- Feature: --cr-wrap (cdialog compatible) and --no-cr-wrap
  common options implemented.
- Improvement: better (faster) callback function for tailbox.
- Improvement: better calculations for box size in characters
  (the size of the font actually in use is taken into account
  instead of the size of the fixed font).
- Improvement: better text wrapping function (the buggy GTK+
  built-in one is no more used).
- Improvement: Internationalization using gettext. French and
  german translations implemented.
- Cosmetic: the help button now appears together with the OK/
  Cancel/etc buttons into the fselect and dselect widgets.
- Cosmetic: Item selection scheme changed for menubox and
  treeview (it is no more possible to remove the highligthing
  from the last selected item).
- Cosmetic: the vertical slider in menubox/checklist/radiolist/
  buildlist/treeview is no more mandatory (it is setup automa-
  tically by GTK+ when actually needed).
- Bugfix: a bug fixed (introduced in v1.5.3), dealing with
  simultaneous use of --check and --help transient options (the
  check button was wrongly setup into the help box).
- Coding: code factorisation IOT reduce size, improve ease of
  maintenance and readability. Improvements to "configure" and
  sources for a better portability.
- The fixed font used by Xdialog may now be changed at compile
  time thanks to the "configure" script ("./configure --help"
  for details).
- Some sample scripts changed to take advantage of the textbox/
  editbox auto-size feature, logbox and logbox2 sample scripts
  added.
- Doc updates and improvements.

1.5.3:
======
- Bug fixed (introduced in v1.5.1) that caused Xdialog
  to segfault when closed while a timeout function was
  updating the widget.
- The tailbox may now be closed or resized while it updates
  the text in its window.
- The --gauge now updates 100 times each second (should
  hopefully be enough !).
- Removed the possibility to setup a "Help" button into an
  infobox (this makes no sense for a temporary widget).
- The menu/lists/tree can now auto-size when the <list/menu
  height> parameter is set to 0.
- The Add/Remove buttons are now greyed out when no item
  is available into the associated list (Hi Albert ! ;-).
- New --item-help (cdialog-compatible) transient option
  implemented.
- New --check transient option implemented.
- Some code cleanup.
- Doc updates and improvements.
- xlock-wrapper sample script added and older sample scripts
  changed so to make use of the lists/menu/tree auto-size
  feature.

1.5.2:
======
- New --progress widget added.
- New --fill common option implemented.
- Changed slightly the behaviour of --center and --right
  options as a work around for the GTK+ line wrap mode bugs.
- Some code improvement (simplification).
- Doc updates and improvements (a basic man page has been
  added too).
- Two samples scripts added (allrpms and format1440).

1.5.1:
======
- One bug corrected (introduced in v1.4.6) that made GTK to
  issue warnings when using the --help option together with
  the --fselect and --dselect widgets while the --button-style
  was "icon" or "default".
- Much better callback timer functions for the --infobox and
  the --gauge widgets (refreshes occurs more often and no
  label/progress bar refresh can be missed anymore).
- New --print-maxsize special option implemented (compatible
  with the cdialog option of the same name).
- Better justification scheme for <labels> in --2inputsbox,
  --3inputsbox, --2rangesbox and --3rangesbox widgets. These
  labels now also accept "\n" for line splitting.
- Updated and more complete documentation.
- New --with-print-* compile time customization options for
  "configure".

1.5.0:
=======
- 5 new widgets:
	--2inputsbox,
	--3inputsbox,
	--2rangesbox,
	--3rangesbox,
	--buildlist.
- 2 new common options:
	--separator,
	--separate-output.
- 3 new transient options:
	--interval,
	--default-no,
	--wizard.
- 1 new special option:
	--print-version (for cdialog compatibility).
- The <menu/list height> parameter is now taken into account.
- Better auto-sizing for some widgets.
- The <height> and <width> parameters are now actually related
  to the true (fixed font) character size.
- The "Help" button may now be setup so to make Xdialog to
  return (with exit code=2).
- Better parameter checking (item depth) in --treeview.
- Some re-write for cleaner code and smaller binary.
- Full HTML documentation written (as a result the README
  file is no more maintained and the FAQ has been HTMLized).

Xdialog is designed to be a drop in replacement for the "dialog" or "cdialog"
programs. It converts any terminal based program into a program with an
X-windows interface. The dialogs are easier to see and use while adding even
more functionalities (e.g. with the treeview, the file selector, the edit box,
the range box, the help button/box). Because Xdialog uses GTK+, it will also
match your desktop themes.
