Changes for version 1.03 - 2004-02-18

  • fix for running in X but in a terminal. If there are no gui dialog variants it will now fallback to available console based variants.
  • Stopped undeffing for a slurp and instead use the localized slurp. (doh! my bad!)
  • Use tempfile() instead of File::Temp::mktemp.
  • POD fix for UI::Dialog referring to menubox() when it should be menu()
  • Whiptail needs the width adjusted by 4 to take into account the borders.
  • Added in 'literal' option to supress the organization and translation of text.
  • UI::Dialog::Backend::CDialog no longer has hard coded version dependancies (Debian unstable updates no longer break UI::Dialog::Backend::CDialog).
  • UI::Dialog::Backend::CDialog no longer messes up by redirecting STDERR to STDOUT via 2>&1 in system() calls
  • Fixed security issues with CDialog and Whiptail backends and their usage of the temp files.
  • Removed all warning and diagnostic pragmas.
  • Added/Updated CONTRIBUTORS file with special thanks to Julian Gilbey and Alfonso E.M.
  • ((Note to self... remember to add my name at the end of each changelog entry and date to the version line))
  • Kevin C. Krinke <kckrinke@opendoorsoftware.com>
