Changes for version 0.61

  • 2001-01-13: - Extended the examples/basic_test file to test the functionality of the basic widgets (for now: Label, Buttons, CheckBox, ListBox, PopupBox, ProgressBar and TextEditor). Directly derived widgets are not tested (like RadioButtonBox and TextEntry) because these will most probably work like they should if the base class is okay.
    • Changed the structure of the checkbox widget. The layout() method would each time re-add the label widget to the checkbox widget. Now the checkbox is a container derivate which always contains the label.
    • Fixed bug: The TextEditor class and derivates didn't call check_for_resize() during focus, so screen resize was not detected.
  • 2001-01-12: - Fixed some broken links in the documentation.
    • Removed "use Carp qw(confess)" from the modules which do not use this (anymore).
    • Wrote documentation for:
      • Curses::UI::Dialog::Basic
      • Curses::UI::Dialog::Error
      • Curses::UI::Dialog::FileBrowser
      • Curses::UI::Dialog::Progress
      • Curses::UI::Dialog::Status
    • Added new example applications:
      • demo-Curses::UI::Dialog::FileBrowser
      • demo-Curses::UI::Dialog::Status
    • Added the -clear_on_exit option to Curses::UI. If this option is set, a Curses::UI application will call "clear" on exit.
