Changes for version 0.62

  • 2001-01-14: - Changed the Label widget. The text to show on the widget may contain more than one line of text (so newline characters may be used). The status-dialog is changed accordingly. Other widgets that use Labels are not updated yet.
    • Updated Curses::UI::Dialog::Progress for use with the new Label widget.
    • Fixed a layout bug in Curses::UI::Widget (the available height and width were incorrectly computed when using negative -x and -y offsets).
    • Renamed Curses::UI::Buttons to Curses::UI::ButtonBox, which is more like the naming of the rest of the widget set. Updated all examples and wigets for this change.
    • Fixed some undefined value warnings in Curses::UI::Dialog::FileBrowser.
    • Incorporated multi-line label support in the checkbox widget.
    • Added new widgets + documentation:
      • Curses::UI::PasswordEntry
      • Curses::UI::Calendar
    • Added new example applications:
      • demo-Curses::UI::Calendar
  • 2001-01-13: - Changed the way the buttons are defined in Curses::UI::Buttons (all information is now in the -buttons option and there are predefined button types). The documentation for Curses::UI::Buttons is updated.
    • Buttons can now have a -command assigned to them. This command will execute after the button is pressed and before the focus is lost.
    • All examples are updated for the changed Curses::UI::Buttons class.
    • Solved a warning for some versions of perl about a prototype.
    • Fixed some documentation typos.
