Changes for version 1.03 - 2004-10-08

  • Added option 'password' to not echo the value typed.
  • Added options for menu: 'separator', 'ignore_whitespace' and 'ignore_empties'. This was prompted by Nicolas Cheve discovering that when users mistakenly entered the first letter of a menu item instead of the item number, the code would happily use the letter as a separator of NO entries and happily return if accept_empty_selection was set. Now you can limit the separator list, ignore spurious whitespace between responses (if whitespace is not a valid separator) and ignore consecutive separators.
