Version 1.0.4 simply renames a local enum value to avoid a conflict with
some header pollution that will be introduced by in-flight
_FORTIFY_SOURCE changes -- namely, <stdlib.h> needs PATH_MAX from
<limits.h> to validate the buffer size used for realpath(3) when
fortified.
Change --mixedform output to adapt to bsdinstall restoring dialog(1)
behavior.
Avoid to print the field value to output if <fieldlen> is read-only
(less than or equal to zero). This fixes passwords in wlanconfig,
avoiding to print also SSID.
To note --mixedform continues to print field value if <flag> is
read-only. This avoids breaking netconfig and netconfig_ipv6.
See /usr/src/contrib/bsddialog/CHANGELOG '2024-05-27 Version 1.0.3'
for more detailed information.

Improvements and changes to integrate bsddialog(1) with scripts in BASE.
Overview:
* New options. --and-widget, --keep-tite, --calendar.
* Change output format. Menus and --print-maxsize.
* Redefine sizing. Fixed rows, cols and menurows became at the most.
* Add DIAGNOSTICS. Error messages for bad arguments and options.
* Add keys. Space for --menu, fast keys for --msgbox and --yesno.
* Text. Change default text modification, add --cr-wrap.
See /usr/src/contrib/bsddialog/CHANGELOG '2022-09-24 Version 0.4'
for more detailed information.
New features overview:
* Unicode. User interface handles multi-column characters. API can
handle char* like a multibyte character string. Internally wide
characters are used for keyboard input, to adapt word wrapping and
dynamic text auto-sizing for multi-column characters.
* Forms refactoring. Complete rewrite deleting libformw dependency.
* Theme. New utility options to save and load custom theme at run-time.
* TUI navigation. Added keys to navigate input components. Changed
default focus behavior of input dialogs to be LGPL-dialog-like; a new
option can set the previous whiptail-like behavior.
See /usr/src/contrib/bsddialog/CHANGELOG '2022-08-29 Version 0.3'
for more detailed information.
This version provides improvements and fixes mainly to use bsddialog
utility in bsdinstall/scripts. The lib API is not broken so the
previous converted utilities (tzsetup, distextract, etc.) are OK.
