This release includes PATH variable fixes for Taint support, expands ./t/?.t tests to include ASCII widget tests, adds 'sttybin' and 'use_stderr' (initial) attributes, fixes center text alignment, escapes ` along with " ( ' doesn't need to be escaped), fixes a repeater-menu bug, fixes a udpm_demo.pl typo and a 'sticky text attr' bug, fixes a whiptail infobox 'DISPLAY' bug, includes fselect() improvements, and adds four basic "event" handlers: "HELP", "EXTRA", "ESC", and "CANCEL".
There is a new native (ASCII) mode that simulates most (if not all) of the common widgets. UDPM does not require any dialog binaries to perform the essential functions. There are more configuration options, updated documentation, Nautilus script support, existing widget tweaks, and more runtime error-checking. All subsequent updates (up to 1.00) will be bugfixes and packaging cosmetics.
