using only basic characters, which should be

- generic_focus()
2002-01-07: - Dialogs are moved to their own namespace:
Curses::UI::Dialog.
- Curses::UI has two new filebrowser dialog methods:
loadfilebrowser() and savefilebrowser(). These
are filebrowser dialogs which are setup correctly
for loading and saving files. The savefilebrowser()
will also check if the file to save to does exist.
If it does it will show a confirmation dialog to
have the user confirm that the file may be
overwritten.
- The code for centering a Window is now in the
Curses::UI::Window class. If the option -centered
is set, the layout() method will center the
Window.
- The add() routines of the classes Curses::UI and
Curses::UI::Container will not also accept
"Dialog::*" as a shortcut for "Curses::UI::Dialog::*".
- Added a new dialog: Curses::UI::Dialog::Status and
added documentation and and example to Curses::UI.
- Added a new dialog: Curses::UI::Dialog::Progress and
added documentation and and example to Curses::UI.
- Curses::UI applications will now automatically
clear the screen on exit (by calling the 'clear'
program using a safe $PATH).
Version 0.55
============
2002-01-06: - Instead of:
$thingy->add('id', 'Curses::UI::WidgetType', %args)
You may now also write:
$thingy->add('id', 'WidgetType', %args)
If there are no double colons in the class name,
the sofware assumes the class is in Curses::UI.
- Wrote documentation for Curses::UI.
- Fixed some small bugs and did some code cleanup.
2002-01-05: - Included basic_test in test.pl, so a real use of the
package is tested.
- The Curses::UI::RootWindow does not exist anymore.
Now the rootlevel for Curses::UI is created using
"my $cui = new Curses::UI".
- Finished first version of documentation for
Curses::UI::Widget.
Version 0.54
============
2002-01-04: - Some small changes in the examples and a new example
(basic_test) added.
- Added -show_hidden option to the FileBrowser.
- Added ~ keybinding to the FileBrowser. If ~ is pressed in the
directory- or filebrowser, the FileBrowser will go to the
homedirectory of the current user.
- If at creation time of the FileBrowser, the -path is
not defined, the FileBrowser will start at the
homedirectory of the user.
- The Curses::UI::Frame class is now called Curses::UI::Widget.
- Solved a bug in Curses::UI::Common::delallwin() which
caused a segmentation fault on some systems (by doing
a delwin on an already deleted curses window).
- Made a test.pl to test the loading of all classes.
- Updated Makefile.PL, so required modules are checked.
- Made a start on documenting Curses::UI. The first bit
of documentation is in Curses::UI::Widget. More will
follow.
Version 0.53
============
2002-01-03: - Initial import to CPAN.
