概要

Library for color text mode, widget based user interfaces

コマンドとエイリアス

  • whiptail

履歴

プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

Newt is a Red Hat-origin text-mode widget library built on S-Lang. It provides stacked windows, entry widgets, checkboxes, radio buttons, labels, text fields, scrollbars, and related primitives for terminal user interfaces. The Homebrew package also exposes whiptail, the shell-friendly dialog-box command built on top of newt.

プロジェクトの歴史

Newt is old Unix/Linux installer plumbing. The upstream README carries Red Hat copyright from 1996 through 2016 and describes the library as a color text-mode widget toolkit based on S-Lang. The long 0.52.x changelog is mostly maintenance: Python binding updates, whiptail layout fixes, translations, compiler fixes, memory-safety fixes, pkg-config support, macOS build fixes, and distribution patch integration.

Whiptail's man page frames the user-facing command: it lets shell scripts present yes/no, menu, input, message, checklist, radiolist, gauge, password, and other dialog boxes. That makes newt less visible than ncurses or dialog, but very sticky in installers, rescue flows, and scripts that inherited whiptail behavior.

採用の歴史

Newt's adoption came through operating-system tooling rather than developer fashion. It is packaged by Linux distributions and BSD ports because installers, scripts, and legacy admin tools need a small text UI stack. Debian and related systems also preserve whiptail compatibility for scripts that expect dialog-like behavior.

Homebrew analytics reported 247 installs in 30 days, 920 in 90 days, and 3,858 in 365 days for the formula when queried on July 1, 2026. For macOS, this is usually dependency or script compatibility usage rather than developers choosing newt for a new greenfield TUI.

使われ方

Package nerds usually encounter newt indirectly: a dependency needs libnewt, or an installer script invokes whiptail. Direct users write C against libnewt, Python against snack bindings where available, or shell scripts against whiptail when they want dialog boxes without depending on a full GUI.

The practical caution is compatibility. whiptail resembles dialog but is not identical, and scripts often rely on exact option support, output file descriptors, menu formatting, and terminal behavior. That is why small changelog entries about automatic width, unicode, --notags, --noitem, gauges, and resizing matter.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

Newt is infrastructure glue: old, unglamorous, and still packaged because deleting it breaks installers and shell scripts. In av.db it is important mainly because the executable surface is whiptail and the library is likely a transitive dependency.

タイムライン

  • 1996: Upstream README copyright begins with Red Hat, marking the project's early Linux distribution roots.
  • 2007-01-31: whiptail man page version line documented Whiptail 0.52.5.
  • 2009: Newt 0.52.11 fixed CVE-2009-2905 according to the changelog.
  • 2025: 0.52.25 was the stable version reported by Homebrew on July 1, 2026.
  • 2026-07-01: Homebrew formula version observed as 0.52.25, with 3,858 formula installs over the preceding 365-day analytics window.
