1.0.7

  • If any text had single quote in it e.g. "don't", "It's", the dialog command was failing with syntax error. In previsous version, the dialog command was wrapped with single quotes but now shell escape the values. Note: this is a parsing bug fix, not a security issue. Thanks to Carl for finding this bug.

  • If no item was selected in a checklist, an EOF exception was thrown. Now return false in that case.

  • Update checklist example to get selected item in an array. Before the items were in an array with 1 element.

1.0.6

  • Ruby 3.2.0 removed File.exists? method. Change to File.exist?

1.0.5

  • Wrap values inside single quotes indead of double quotes. If saved values are reloaded in a form, special shell characters could get expanded and corrupt data. Please update to v1.0.5. (Mar-15-2023)

1.0.4

  • Previously only the OK/Yes button read input from forms, menus and lists. If an extra button is used, it was treated the same as the Cancel/No button, and no output from the form/menu/list was returned to the caller.

This PR changes the various user input dialogs to treat the Extra button the same way as the OK/Yes button, and to return the dialog's input to the caller.

Thanks to https://github.com/OtherJohnGray for pull request.

1.0.2

  • Added accessor notags. It can be used with checklist for example. The default value is false.
dialog = MRDialog.new()
dialog.notags = true
  • Added accessor dialog_options. It can be used to pass any valid dialog option. man dialog and look at the OPTIONS section. It is the caller's responsibily to specify correct options, no validation will be done. Example:
