Changes: Fixes were made to port dialog to AIX. Charset specification was added to cs.po. The dates in CHANGES were changed to a consistent format. el.po was added for Greek. Static globals were eliminated from the rc, tailbox, and textbox modules. Temporary files in a few of the sample scripts were cleaned up.

Changes: A large number of new features over the old 0.7 branch; the old one should only be used if necessary.
- 16 Mar 2001 14:40
Changes: The versioning has been changed to the range it should be in; version 0.61a followed 0.6z, which was a huge numerical jump. Since dialog-0.9a-20010115 from the Debian Linux project actually succeeds this one, this should have a version between 0.6z and 0.9a. Patches have been applied that fix some potential bugs and clean up some of the sources so that there are no more compiler warnings.

Changes: This release fixes a tag/item centering bug in both menubox.c and checklist.c, a cosmetic bug in menubox.c where the cursor got left in the menu box when it first came up, and this release now includes a prefix variable to the Makefile for installing into a binary package build area.
