dialog (0.9b-20030820-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. Should build from source (Closes: #206287).

dialog (0.9b-20030130-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. Closes: #168823. From the CHANGES file:
   - corrected print_line(), which subtracted the margin twice from the
     right-limit, making a string wrap unnecessarily.
   - correct initial limit-check for arrows in checklist.c, which used
     the wrong variable, showing the bottom arrow when it should not.

   - A global rc file /etc/dialogrc is now supported.

dialog (0.9a-20011111-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release. From the upstream changelog:
   - modify command-line parsing to allow a "--" argument to act as an
     escape, so the next argument is not recognized as an option if it
     begins with "--".  This is apparently one of popt's undocumented
     features, upon which some Debian scripts depend (See Bug#116642).
   * Added support for DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. This can now be made without
     modifying the upstream makefile, since -s has been removed from the
     normal install target.

dialog (0.9a-20011014-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Fixed uninitialized use of my_output in util.c (Closes: #117177).

dialog (0.9a-20011014-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release, should fix the following bugs:

     ERROR exits. This is done by setting a shell variable such as DIALOG_ESC
     to a new value (Closes: #99264).
   - Modified dialog.pl to avoid using a statically-named tempfile, allowing
     multiple processes to use this script (Closes: #110609).
   * Added new sample script msgbox2 to the examples directory.

dialog (0.9a-20010827-1) unstable; urgency=low

dialog (0.9a-20010811-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release, bug fixes plus a rewrite of tailboxbg.
   * dlg_trim_string() now retains literal newlines if the string does not
     contain "\\n" strings, and leading blanks on the resulting lines,
     for compatibility with older scripts (Closes: #102942).

dialog (0.9a-20010527-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.

   * New upstream release, fixes a bug in real_auto_size() introduced in
     version 20001213. (Thanks to Raphaƫl Halimi for the report).

dialog (0.9a-20001213-1) unstable; urgency=high

   * New upstream release, featuring:
   - justify_text() now does text flow even when the string contains
     newlines (Closes: #77199).
   - Fixed manpage regarding --fselect (Closes: #77200).
   - Lock files in /tmp are now created securely (Closes: #78951).
     (Thanks to Matt Kraai, Chris Butler and Wichert Akkerman).

   * Rebuilt using libncurses5.

dialog (0.9a-20000118-2) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

   * Test the math library by using the `sqrt' function, since this is
     the function used in util.c. This should really allow dialog
     to be built on the m68k architecture (Bug #55553).

dialog (0.9a-20000118-1) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

   * New upstream release. It fixes the following bugs:
   - Readds the --guage option for backwards compatibility, just in case.
     This option will remain undocumented, however.
   - Change 'ch' variable in tailbox.c to an integer, because it is
     compared against EOF (Bug #53157, portability problem under ARM).
   - Suppress xterm's alternate screen mode (Bug #55181).
   - Change yellow lettering on white to blue on white, since it
     offers better contrast (Bug #51196).
