The text frontend could make some simple changes to improve how it
displays titles. Curently it displays the title before every question:
Title
Question
Prompt: '?' for help> foo
Title
Question
Prompt: '?' for help> bar
This looks pretty strange IMHO since the title often looks like it's
part of the question. Also why display it over and over each time?
debconf's readline frontend only displays the title before a question if
it is different from the title it displayed last time. And it sets the
title off from the question:
Title
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Question
Prompt: '?' for help> foo
Question
Prompt: '?' for help> bar

All these bugs were fixed by cdebconf 0.75 and 0.76. cdebconf 0.77 is
now in unstable.
cdebconf (0.76) experimental; urgency=low
NOTE: Not for sarge.
* Colin Watson
- Add draft plugins specification.
- Append '\n' to debug messages automatically when printing to stderr,
so that they aren't needed in every string.
- Tidy up libdebconfclient namespace: rename debconf_commandf to
debconfclient_commandf and make it static. Doesn't seem to affect any
current users, and if it does, they should have been using
debconf->commandf() instead.
- Sync from debconf (closes: #266898):
+ Change the shell confmodule to not construct functions on the fly.
The new code is smaller, a bit faster, and simpler, but the
important thing is that it does not clobber $@. The old version
messed up $@ if parameters contained spaces.
- Add config instances for the standard debconf databases in /target, so
that we can do 'debconf-copydb -p foo/bar configdb target_configdb'
once the base system is installed.
- Remove src/cdebconf.conf-dist on distclean.
- Fix some of the build issues with the corba frontend, although it
still doesn't even remotely build or work.
- Fix compiler warning in slang frontend.
- Allocate choices, choices_translated, defaults, and selected
dynamically in slang frontend, fixing a crash bug.
- Set up slang select/multiselect windows so that the first selected
option is always visible (closes: #183541).
- Improve how titles are displayed in the text frontend: set titles off
with an underline, and only display a title if it's different from the
previous one (closes: #281395).
* Matthias Urlichs:
- Clarify ANS: lines in test.config output.
- Set _cmdline::frontend rather than frontend::default::driver in
response to 'debconf -f <frontend>', fixing that.

cdebconf (0.75) experimental; urgency=low
NOTE: Not for sarge.
* Colin Watson
- Add an INFO command, which may (depending on the frontend) display an
out-of-band informative message. Unlike inputting a note, this doesn't
require an acknowledgement from the user. Like PROGRESS INFO,
frontends should display the info persistently until some other info
comes along. In the newt frontend, this appears as text at the top
left-hand corner of the screen; no other frontends implement it yet.
- Fix text frontend segfault when encountering empty elements in Choices
field (closes: #256557).
- Fix memory leaks in METAGET, PROGRESS, and SETTITLE commands.
- Make the text frontend output a blank line before the first title in
go() if it was already displaying a progress bar (closes: #271707).
- If possible, clean source directory in 'debian/rules clean' so that
test builds don't make it into source packages.
- cdebconf-udeb provides debconf-2.0.
- Enable stack driver.
- Move answers to password questions out of
/var/lib/cdebconf/questions.dat to /var/lib/cdebconf/passwords.dat.
- Some const-correctness improvements.
- Add iterate methods to rfc822db, making debconf-copydb and
debconf-dumpdb work (closes: #213266). This uses a horrible
non-thread-safe technique involving building a temporary list with a
pointer to each node in order, which will of course use a fair amount
of memory, because the twalk() interface doesn't allow for anything
better. If we ever switch to a completely different cache mechanism,
this can go away.
- Fix option parsing in debconf-copydb, debconf-dumpdb, and
dpkg-reconfigure.
- Implement -p/--pattern option in debconf-copydb and debconf-dumpdb.
Note that, unlike Perl debconf, this takes an extended regular
expression rather than a Perl regular expression, but it should be
close enough for most uses.
- Make --without-syslog-logging (a) work and (b) be the default. (The
udeb build still uses syslog logging.)
* Joey Hess
- Apply patch from Denis to fix rfc822db to not output empty Value fields
if the value is not set. Closes: #257180
- Patch from mdz to support the DATA command, as used by the (perl)
debconf passthrough frontend (as patched by mdz to work as of debconf
1.4.42). This allows dpkg-reconfigure inside the chroot to communicate
with the user using the existing cdebconf d-i frontend.
* Matthias Urlichs
- Check for newtInit() in configure, and build the newt frontend if
found.
