There was already a PasswordField component that you could use in a 
Background. You could also pass in a style flag to the textEntryDialog 
to get the password and multi-line variations of the dialog, but I 
figured we might as well just make them standalone functions for 
simplicity. Hope it helps.

Originally I planned on releasing 0.8.1 sometime in September, but my 
guess is it will be sometime in October. Release 0.8 didn't turn out to 
have as many bugs as I thought it might considering all the major 
changes, so I don't think anyone is clamoring for a new release. As the 
fall progresses, more and more of my time will be sucked away by the 
deluge of videogames though, so I want to get a release out before the 
coding sprint in Seattle (Oct. 23-24). That way if if I'm not doing 
much coding in October and November people will at least have the 
changes added in the last month. This is what the change log shows as 
of this morning...
