A script interpreter which provides a set of curses widgets:
objects whose appearance and behavior can be customized.

The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:

* dialog		1.3+20240619
* libdialog-devel	1.3+20240619
* libdialog15		1.3+20240619

NOTE: the version numbering has been changed from 1.3-#.yyyymmdd to
1.3+yyyymmdd to better match upstream's to Cygwin's version conventions.

Although this package is used in all *texlive* installations,
the changes and impacts appear to be minor, so the upgrade is
being released as current stable.
