Bug Fix Advisory - RHBA-2009:1482-1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
newt bug fix update
Updated newt packages that resolve several issues are now available.
Description:
Newt is a programming library for color text-mode, widget-based user
interfaces. Newt can be used to add stacked windows, entry widgets, check
boxes, radio buttons, labels, plain text fields, and so on, to text mode
user interfaces.
These updated newt packages provide fixes for the following bugs:
* the whiptail(1) man page was missing from the newt package, and is now
included. (BZ#456307)
* newt did not recognize the escape sequence "\E[Z" as the Shift+Tab key
combination on VT320 terminals, and incorrectly interpreted it as "Escape".
With these updated packages, newt correctly interprets "\E[Z" as Shift+Tab.
(BZ#468046)
All users of newt are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
