Add a new function, dialog_noyes(), for sysinstall to be able to

2000-12-14T02:35:22+00:00

present questinos with a different default answer.  Somebody submitted
a patch to me once which did something this but I lost it (my bad) so
I'm just going to re-implement it with thanks to whomever it was who
gave me the idea.

Add support for saved trees.

Add some new functionality which I promised to add over a year a go and

1998-09-26T12:29:57+00:00

shamefully dropped on the floor.  I need to add it now since it does a
minor number bump, but otherwise the current functionality of libdialog
is unchanged (in all its evil glory) and the change is non-intrusive.

Change the aux field type to long instead of int so that it is large

1998-08-20T21:39:28+00:00

enough to hold a man-sized pointer.

Add another hateful global to libdialog (what the heck, there are already

1996-12-14T16:14:21+00:00

so many).  For now, the only extended attribute implemented is NO ECHO,
useful for things like passwords.  See TESTS/input2.c for an example.
This should go into 2.2.

Remove the special-case behavior for fire actions that return

1996-04-18T13:21:26+00:00

DITEM_FAILURE - formerly they would simply act as an implicit "continue",
but this is wrong.  If you want this behavior, you should now return
with the DITEM_CONTINUE flag set.

Also make the semantics of DITEM_RESTORE quite a bit different - rather
than restore the screen back to pre-menu state, we restore the menu
itself.  This is more correct for a variety of reasons when dealing with
nested menus (whoops!).

More changes to attempt to make this whole new dialog scheme more

1996-04-16T12:17:27+00:00

robust.  The new "fire" actions, while affording signficantly more
interactivity to libdialog, come at a cost - if the fire action trashes
the screen then you're not going to be in Kansas anymore when you
come back to the menu and there had better be considerable extra
smarts in place for coping with such a situation.  These changes are my
attempt to do just that.

Add an `aux' field for some other gunk I'm doing.
