	  corresponding button (report by "sgewrk").

2019/08/01
	+ further fixes for dialog-config.in (report by Andrew Kosteltsev).

2019/07/28

	+ 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.

	  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).

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.

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.

	+ change several calls to dlg_trace_msg to prefix with "#" to make
	  the trace logs more consistent for parsing.
	+ add samples/run_test.sh

	  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

	+ 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. Gislason, Debian #739180, Debian #739181)
	  + use "\/" when transitioning from italic to normal font
	  + correct an instance of "e.g,."
	  + 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
	  + check for tinfo library when looking for ncurses
	  + 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
[--snip--]
