| What's New in IDLE 2.7.12? | |
| ========================== | |
| *Release date: 2015-06-25* | |
| - Issue #5124: Paste with text selected now replaces the selection on X11. | |

| and ttk widgets. Original patch by Serhiy Storchaka. | |
| - Issue #24759: Make clear in idlelib.idle_test.__init__ that the directory | |
| is a private implementation of test.test_idle and tool for maintainers. | |
| - Issue #26673: When tk reports font size as 0, change to size 10. | |

| - In the 'IDLE-console differences' section of the IDLE doc, clarify | |
| how running with IDLE affects sys.modules and the standard streams. | |

| What's New in IDLE 2.7.11? | |
| ========================== | |
| *Release date: 2015-12-06* | |
| - Issue 15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process) | |
| before closing the debugger window (running in the IDLE process). | |
| This prevents the RuntimeErrors that were being caught and ignored. | |
| - Issue #24455: Prevent IDLE from hanging when a) closing the shell while the | |
| debugger is active (15347); b) closing the debugger with the [X] button | |
| (15348); and c) activating the debugger when already active (24455). | |
| The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes. | |
| 1. Suspend and resume the gui.interaction method with the tcl vwait | |
| mechanism intended for this purpose (instead of root.mainloop & .quit). | |
| 2. In gui.run, allow any existing interaction to terminate first. | |
| - Change 'The program' to 'Your program' in an IDLE 'kill program?' message | |
| to make it clearer that the program referred to is the currently running | |
| user program, not IDLE itself. | |
| - Issue #24750: Improve the appearance of the IDLE editor window status bar. | |
| Patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #25313: Change the handling of new built-in text color themes to better | |
| address the compatibility problem introduced by the addition of IDLE Dark. | |
| Consistently use the revised idleConf.CurrentTheme everywhere in idlelib. | |
| - Issue #24782: Extension configuration is now a tab in the IDLE Preferences | |
| dialog rather than a separate dialog. The former tabs are now a sorted | |
| list. Patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #22726: Re-activate the config dialog help button with some content | |
| about the other buttons and the new IDLE Dark theme. | |
| - Issue #24820: IDLE now has an 'IDLE Dark' built-in text color theme. | |
| It is more or less IDLE Classic inverted, with a cobalt blue background. | |
| Strings, comments, keywords, ... are still green, red, orange, ... . | |
| To use it with IDLEs released before November 2015, hit the | |
| 'Save as New Custom Theme' button and enter a new name, | |
| such as 'Custom Dark'. The custom theme will work with any IDLE | |
| release, and can be modified. | |
| - Issue #25224: README.txt is now an idlelib index for IDLE developers and | |
| curious users. The previous user content is now in the IDLE doc chapter. | |
| 'IDLE' now means 'Integrated Development and Learning Environment'. | |
| - Issue #24820: Users can now set breakpoint colors in | |
| Settings -> Custom Highlighting. Original patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #24972: Inactive selection background now matches active selection | |
| background, as configured by users, on all systems. Found items are now | |
| always highlighted on Windows. Initial patch by Mark Roseman. | |

| affected by a tk regression. Initial patch by Mark Roseman. | |

| - Issue #24801: Make right-click for context menu work on Mac Aqua. | |
| Patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #25173: Associate tkinter messageboxes with a specific widget. | |
| For Mac OSX, make them a 'sheet'. Patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #25198: Enhance the initial html viewer now used for Idle Help. | |
| * Properly indent fixed-pitch text (patch by Mark Roseman). | |
| * Give code snippet a very Sphinx-like light blueish-gray background. | |
| * Re-use initial width and height set by users for shell and editor. | |
| * When the Table of Contents (TOC) menu is used, put the section header | |
| at the top of the screen. | |

| - Issue #16893: Replace help.txt with help.html for Idle doc display. | |

| It looks better than help.txt and will better document Idle as released. | |
| The tkinter html viewer that works for this file was written by Mark Roseman. | |
| The now unused EditorWindow.HelpDialog class and helt.txt file are deprecated. | |
| - Issue #24199: Deprecate unused idlelib.idlever with possible removal in 3.6. | |
| - Issue #24790: Remove extraneous code (which also create 2 & 3 conflicts). | |

| platform-sensitive TkFixedFont. This should not affect current customized | |
| font selections. If there is a problem, edit $HOME/.idlerc/config-main.cfg | |
| and remove 'fontxxx' entries from [Editor Window]. Patch by Mark Roseman. | |

| an error box. It now pops up an Open Module box (Alt+M). If a valid name | |
| is entered and a module is opened, a corresponding browser is also opened. | |

| - OSX: Avoid crash for those versions of Tcl/Tk which don't have a console | |
| - Bug in idlelib.MultiCall: Options dialog was crashing IDLE if there was an | |
| option in config-extensions w/o a value. Patch #1672481, Tal Einat | |
| - Corrected some bugs in AutoComplete. Also, Page Up/Down in ACW implemented; | |
| mouse and cursor selection in ACWindow implemented; double Tab inserts | |
| current selection and closes ACW (similar to double-click and Return); scroll | |
| wheel now works in ACW. Added AutoComplete instructions to IDLE Help. | |
| - AutoCompleteWindow moved below input line, will move above if there | |
| isn't enough space. Patch 1621265 Tal Einat | |
| - Calltips now 'handle' tuples in the argument list (display '<tuple>' :) | |
| Suggested solution by Christos Georgiou, Bug 791968. | |
| - Add 'raw' support to configHandler. Patch 1650174 Tal Einat. | |
| - Avoid hang when encountering a duplicate in a completion list. Bug 1571112. | |
| - Patch #1362975: Rework CodeContext indentation algorithm to | |
| avoid hard-coding pixel widths. | |
| - Bug #813342: Start the IDLE subprocess with -Qnew if the parent | |
| is started with that option. | |
| - Honor the "Cancel" action in the save dialog (Debian bug #299092) | |
| - Some syntax errors were being caught by tokenize during the tabnanny | |
| check, resulting in obscure error messages. Do the syntax check | |
| first. Bug 1562716, 1562719 | |
| - IDLE's version number takes a big jump to match the version number of | |
| the Python release of which it's a part. | |
| What's New in IDLE 1.2? | |
| ======================= | |
| *Release date: 19-SEP-2006* | |
| - File menu hotkeys: there were three 'p' assignments. Reassign the | |
| 'Save Copy As' and 'Print' hotkeys to 'y' and 't'. Change the | |
| Shell hotkey from 's' to 'l'. | |
| - IDLE honors new quit() and exit() commands from site.py Quitter() object. | |
| Patch 1540892, Jim Jewett | |
| - The 'with' statement is now a Code Context block opener. | |
| Patch 1540851, Jim Jewett | |
| - Retrieval of previous shell command was not always preserving indentation | |
| (since 1.2a1) Patch 1528468 Tal Einat. | |
| - Changing tokenize (39046) to detect dedent broke tabnanny check (since 1.2a1) | |
| - ToggleTab dialog was setting indent to 8 even if cancelled (since 1.2a1). | |
| - When used w/o subprocess, all exceptions were preceded by an error | |
| message claiming they were IDLE internal errors (since 1.2a1). | |
| - Bug #1525817: Don't truncate short lines in IDLE's tool tips. | |
| - Bug #1517990: IDLE keybindings on MacOS X now work correctly | |
| - Bug #1517996: IDLE now longer shows the default Tk menu when a | |
| path browser, class browser or debugger is the frontmost window on MacOS X | |
| - EditorWindow.test() was failing. Bug 1417598 | |
| - EditorWindow failed when used stand-alone if sys.ps1 not set. | |
| Bug 1010370 Dave Florek | |
| - Tooltips failed on new-syle class __init__ args. Bug 1027566 Loren Guthrie | |
| - Avoid occasional failure to detect closing paren properly. | |
| Patch 1407280 Tal Einat | |
| - Rebinding Tab key was inserting 'tab' instead of 'Tab'. Bug 1179168. | |
| - Colorizer now handles #<builtin> correctly, also unicode strings and | |
| 'as' keyword in comment directly following import command. Closes 1325071. | |
| Patch 1479219 Tal Einat | |
| - Patch #1162825: Support non-ASCII characters in IDLE window titles. | |
| - Source file f.flush() after writing; trying to avoid lossage if user | |
| kills GUI. | |
| - Options / Keys / Advanced dialog made functional. Also, allow binding | |
| of 'movement' keys. | |
| - 'syntax' patch adds improved calltips and a new class attribute listbox. | |
| MultiCall module allows binding multiple actions to an event. | |
| Patch 906702 Noam Raphael | |
| - Better indentation after first line of string continuation. | |
| IDLEfork Patch 681992, Noam Raphael | |
| - Fixed CodeContext alignment problem, following suggestion from Tal Einat. | |
| - Increased performance in CodeContext extension Patch 936169 Noam Raphael | |
| - Mac line endings were incorrect when pasting code from some browsers | |
| when using X11 and the Fink distribution. Python Bug 1263656. | |
| - <Enter> when cursor is on a previous command retrieves that command. Instead | |
| of replacing the input line, the previous command is now appended to the | |
| input line. Indentation is preserved, and undo is enabled. | |
| Patch 1196917 Jeff Shute | |
| - Clarify "tab/space" Error Dialog and "Tab Width" Dialog associated with | |
| the Untabify command. | |
| - Corrected "tab/space" Error Dialog to show correct menu for Untabify. | |
| Patch 1196980 Jeff Shute | |
| - New files are colorized by default, and colorizing is removed when | |
| saving as non-Python files. Patch 1196895 Jeff Shute | |
| Closes Python Bugs 775012 and 800432, partial fix IDLEfork 763524 | |
| - Improve subprocess link error notification. | |
| - run.py: use Queue's blocking feature instead of sleeping in the main | |
| loop. Patch # 1190163 Michiel de Hoon | |
| - Add config-main option to make the 'history' feature non-cyclic. | |
| Default remains cyclic. Python Patch 914546 Noam Raphael. | |
| - Removed ability to configure tabs indent from Options dialog. This 'feature' | |
| has never worked and no one has complained. It is still possible to set a | |
| default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on | |
| tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will | |
| encourage indentation via spaces. | |
| - Enable setting the indentation width using the Options dialog. | |
| Bug # 783877 | |
| - Add keybindings for del-word-left and del-word-right. | |
| - Discourage using an indent width other than 8 when using tabs to indent | |
| Python code. | |
| - Restore use of EditorWindow.set_indentation_params(), was dead code since | |
| Autoindent was merged into EditorWindow. This allows IDLE to conform to the | |
| indentation width of a loaded file. (But it still will not switch to tabs | |
| even if the file uses tabs.) Any change in indent width is local to that | |
| window. | |
| - Add Tabnanny check before Run/F5, not just when Checking module. | |
| - If an extension can't be loaded, print warning and skip it instead of | |
| erroring out. | |
| - Improve error handling when .idlerc can't be created (warn and exit). | |
| - The GUI was hanging if the shell window was closed while a raw_input() | |
| was pending. Restored the quit() of the readline() mainloop(). | |
| http://mail.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2004-December/002307.html | |
| - The remote procedure call module rpc.py can now access data attributes of | |
| remote registered objects. Changes to these attributes are local, however. | |
| What's New in IDLE 1.1? | |
| ======================= | |
| *Release date: 30-NOV-2004* | |
| - On OpenBSD, terminating IDLE with ctrl-c from the command line caused a | |
| stuck subprocess MainThread because only the SocketThread was exiting. | |
| - Saving a Keyset w/o making changes (by using the "Save as New Custom Key Set" | |
| button) caused IDLE to fail on restart (no new keyset was created in | |
| config-keys.cfg). Also true for Theme/highlights. Python Bug 1064535. | |
| - A change to the linecache.py API caused IDLE to exit when an exception was | |
| raised while running without the subprocess (-n switch). Python Bug 1063840. | |
| - When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was | |
| introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how | |
| far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width | |
| to the reformat width. This has been repaired, and the reformat | |
| width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines. | |
| - Improve keyboard focus binding, especially in Windows menu. Improve | |
| window raising, especially in the Windows menu and in the debugger. | |
| IDLEfork 763524. | |
| - If user passes a non-existent filename on the commandline, just | |
| open a new file, don't raise a dialog. IDLEfork 854928. | |
| - EditorWindow.py was not finding the .chm help file on Windows. Typo | |
| at Rev 1.54. Python Bug 990954 | |
| - checking sys.platform for substring 'win' was breaking IDLE docs on Mac | |
| (darwin). Also, Mac Safari browser requires full file:// URIs. SF 900580. | |
| - Redirect the warning stream to the shell during the ScriptBinding check of | |
| user code and format the warning similarly to an exception for both that | |
| check and for runtime warnings raised in the subprocess. | |
| - CodeContext hint pane visibility state is now persistent across sessions. | |
| The pane no longer appears in the shell window. Added capability to limit | |
| extensions to shell window or editor windows. Noam Raphael addition | |
| to Patch 936169. | |
| - Paragraph reformat width is now a configurable parameter in the | |
| Options GUI. | |
| - New Extension: CodeContext. Provides block structuring hints for code | |
| which has scrolled above an edit window. Patch 936169 Noam Raphael. | |
| - If nulls somehow got into the strings in recent-files.lst | |
| EditorWindow.update_recent_files_list() was failing. Python Bug 931336. | |
| - If the normal background is changed via Configure/Highlighting, it will | |
| update immediately, thanks to the previously mentioned patch by Nigel Rowe. | |
| - Add a highlight theme for builtin keywords. Python Patch 805830 Nigel Rowe | |
| This also fixed IDLEfork bug [ 693418 ] Normal text background color not | |
| refreshed and Python bug [897872 ] Unknown color name on HP-UX | |
| - rpc.py:SocketIO - Large modules were generating large pickles when downloaded | |
| to the execution server. The return of the OK response from the subprocess | |
| initialization was interfering and causing the sending socket to be not | |
| ready. Add an IO ready test to fix this. Moved the polling IO ready test | |
| into pollpacket(). | |
| - Fix typo in rpc.py, s/b "pickle.PicklingError" not "pickle.UnpicklingError". | |
| - Added a Tk error dialog to run.py inform the user if the subprocess can't | |
| connect to the user GUI process. Added a timeout to the GUI's listening | |
| socket. Added Tk error dialogs to PyShell.py to announce a failure to bind | |
| the port or connect to the subprocess. Clean up error handling during | |
| connection initiation phase. This is an update of Python Patch 778323. | |
| - Print correct exception even if source file changed since shell was | |
| restarted. IDLEfork Patch 869012 Noam Raphael | |
| - Keybindings with the Shift modifier now work correctly. So do bindings which | |
| use the Space key. Limit unmodified user keybindings to the function keys. | |
| Python Bug 775353, IDLEfork Bugs 755647, 761557 | |
| - After an exception, run.py was not setting the exception vector. Noam | |
| Raphael suggested correcting this so pdb's postmortem pm() would work. | |
| IDLEfork Patch 844675 | |
| - IDLE now does not fail to save the file anymore if the Tk buffer is not a | |
| Unicode string, yet eol_convention is. Python Bugs 774680, 788378 | |
| - IDLE didn't start correctly when Python was installed in "Program Files" on | |
| W2K and XP. Python Bugs 780451, 784183 | |
| - config-main.def documentation incorrectly referred to idle- instead of | |
| config- filenames. SF 782759 Also added note about .idlerc location. | |
| What's New in IDLE 1.0? | |
| ======================= | |
| *Release date: 29-Jul-2003* | |
| - Calltip error when docstring was None Python Bug 775541 | |
| - Updated extend.txt, help.txt, and config-extensions.def to correctly | |
| reflect the current status of the configuration system. Python Bug 768469 | |
| - Fixed: Call Tip Trimming May Loop Forever. Python Patch 769142 (Daniels) | |
| - Replaced apply(f, args, kwds) with f(*args, **kwargs) to improve performance | |
| Python Patch 768187 | |
| - Break or continue statements outside a loop were causing IDLE crash | |
| Python Bug 767794 | |
| - Convert Unicode strings from readline to IOBinding.encoding. Also set | |
| sys.std{in|out|err}.encoding, for both the local and the subprocess case. | |
| SF IDLEfork patch 682347. | |
| - Extend AboutDialog.ViewFile() to support file encodings. Make the CREDITS | |
| file Latin-1. | |
| - Updated the About dialog to reflect re-integration into Python. Provide | |
| buttons to display Python's NEWS, License, and Credits, plus additional | |
| buttons for IDLE's README and NEWS. | |
| - TextViewer() now has a third parameter which allows inserting text into the | |
| viewer instead of reading from a file. | |
| - (Created the .../Lib/idlelib directory in the Python CVS, which is a clone of | |
| IDLEfork modified to install in the Python environment. The code in the | |
| interrupt module has been moved to thread.interrupt_main(). ) | |
| - Printing the Shell window was failing if it was not saved first SF 748975 | |
| - When using the Search in Files dialog, if the user had a selection | |
| highlighted in his Editor window, insert it into the dialog search field. | |
| - The Python Shell entry was disappearing from the Windows menu. | |
| - Update the Windows file list when a file name change occurs | |
| - Change to File / Open Module: always pop up the dialog, using the current | |
| selection as the default value. This is easier to use habitually. | |
| - Avoided a problem with starting the subprocess when 'localhost' doesn't | |
| resolve to the user's loopback interface. SF 747772 | |
| - Fixed an issue with highlighted errors never de-colorizing. SF 747677. Also | |
| improved notification of Tabnanny Token Error. | |
| - File / New will by default save in the directory of the Edit window from | |
| which it was initiated. SF 748973 Guido van Rossum patch. | |
| What's New in IDLEfork 0.9b1? | |
| ============================= | |
| *Release date: 02-Jun-2003* | |
| - The current working directory of the execution environment (and shell | |
| following completion of execution) is now that of the module being run. | |
| - Added the delete-exitfunc option to config-main.def. (This option is not | |
| included in the Options dialog.) Setting this to True (the default) will | |
| cause IDLE to not run sys.exitfunc/atexit when the subprocess exits. | |
| - IDLE now preserves the line ending codes when editing a file produced on | |
| a different platform. SF 661759, SF 538584 | |
| - Reduced default editor font size to 10 point and increased window height | |
| to provide a better initial impression on Windows. | |
| - Options / Fonts/Tabs / Set Base Editor Font: List box was not highlighting | |
| the default font when first installed on Windows. SF 661676 | |
| - Added Autosave feature: when user runs code from edit window, if the file | |
| has been modified IDLE will silently save it if Autosave is enabled. The | |
| option is set in the Options dialog, and the default is to prompt the | |
| user to save the file. SF 661318 Bruce Sherwood patch. | |
| - Improved the RESTART annotation in the shell window when the user restarts | |
| the shell while it is generating output. Also improved annotation when user | |
| repeatedly hammers the Ctrl-F6 restart. | |
| - Allow IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory | |
| SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up" - Raphael | |
| - When a module is run from an EditorWindow: if its directory is not in | |
| sys.path, prepend it. This allows the module to import other modules in | |
| the same directory. Do the same for a script run from the command line. | |
| - Correctly restart the subprocess if it is running user code and the user | |
| attempts to run some other module or restarts the shell. Do the same if | |
| the link is broken and it is possible to restart the subprocess and re- | |
| connect to the GUI. SF RFE 661321. | |
| - Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the | |
| command line. | |
| - Added a -n command line switch to start IDLE without the subprocess. | |
| Removed the Shell menu when running in that mode. Updated help messages. | |
| - Added a comment to the shell startup header to indicate when IDLE is not | |
| using the subprocess. | |
| - Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for | |
| some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the | |
| debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be | |
| desirable, depending on your point of view. In addition, the traditional | |
| reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.) This is | |
| helpful for developing IDLE using IDLE, because one instance can be used to | |
| edit the code and a separate instance run to test changes. (Multiple | |
| concurrent IDLE instances with subprocesses is a future feature) | |
| - Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII | |
| characters and no source encoding is specified. Done by adding a dialog | |
| 'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry | |
| widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically. | |
| Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three | |
| possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show | |
| this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files | |
| with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that | |
| files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the | |
| source contains characters outside the locale's charset. SF 710733 - Loewis | |
| - Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various | |
| calls to signal.signal(). | |
| - Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass | |
| loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension. User code runs | |
| in MainThread, while the RPCServer is handled by SockThread. This is | |
| necessary because Windows doesn't support signals. | |
| - Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread | |
| to raise a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread. | |
| - Attempting to save the shell raised an error related to saving | |
| breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell | |
| - Provide a correct message when 'exit' or 'quit' are entered at the | |
| IDLE command prompt SF 695861 | |
| - Eliminate extra blank line in shell output caused by not flushing | |
| stdout when user code ends with an unterminated print. SF 695861 | |
| - Moved responsibility for exception formatting (i.e. pruning IDLE internal | |
| calls) out of rpc.py into the client and server. | |
| - Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O | |
| - Handle subprocess interrupt with an RPC message. | |
| - Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that) | |
| - Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the | |
| exception formatting to the subprocess. | |
| What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 2? | |
| =================================== | |
| *Release date: 27-Jan-2003* | |
| - Updated INSTALL.txt to claify use of the python2 rpm. | |
| - Improved formatting in IDLE Help. | |
| - Run menu: Replace "Run Script" with "Run Module". | |
| - Code encountering an unhandled exception under the debugger now shows | |
| the correct traceback, with IDLE internal levels pruned out. | |
| - If an exception occurs entirely in IDLE, don't prune the IDLE internal | |
| modules from the traceback displayed. | |
| - Class Browser and Path Browser now use Alt-Key-2 for vertical zoom. | |
| - IDLE icons will now install correctly even when setup.py is run from the | |
| build directory | |
| - Class Browser now compatible with Python2.3 version of pyclbr.py | |
| - Left cursor move in presence of selected text now moves from left end | |
| of the selection. | |
| - Add Meta keybindings to "IDLE Classic Windows" to handle reversed | |
| Alt/Meta on some Linux distros. | |
| - Change default: IDLE now starts with Python Shell. | |
| - Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list. | |
| - Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the | |
| Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is | |
| validated, as before.) | |
| - Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the | |
| order entered. Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option' | |
| number. | |
| - Add Browse button to New Help Source dialog. Arrange to start in | |
| Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory. | |
| - Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in | |
| an Extra Help cascade menu. Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional | |
| Help Sources come last. Update help.txt appropriately. | |
| - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py and configDialog.py | |
| - Uniform capitalization in General tab of ConfigDialog, update the doc string. | |
| - Fix bug in ConfigDialog where SaveAllChangedConfig() was unexpectedly | |
| deleting Additional Help Sources from the user's config file. | |
| - Make configHelpSourceEdit OK button the default and bind <Return> | |
| - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configHelpSourceEdit: error dialogs not attached | |
| to parents. | |
| - Use os.startfile() to open both Additional Help and Python Help on the | |
| Windows platform. The application associated with the file type will act as | |
| the viewer. Windows help files (.chm) are now supported via the | |
| Settings/General/Additional Help facility. | |
| - If Python Help files are installed locally on Linux, use them instead of | |
| accessing python.org. | |
| - Make the methods for finding the Python help docs more robust, and make | |
| them work in the installed configuration, also. | |
| - On the Save Before Run dialog, make the OK button the default. One | |
| less mouse action! | |
| - Add a method: EditorWindow.get_geometry() for future use in implementing | |
| window location persistence. | |
| - Removed the "Help/Advice" menu entry. Thanks, David! We'll remember! | |
| - Change the "Classic Windows" theme's paste key to be <ctrl-v>. | |
| - Rearrange the Shell menu to put Stack Viewer entries adjacent. | |
| - Add the ability to restart the subprocess interpreter from the shell window; | |
| add an associated menu entry "Shell/Restart" with binding Control-F6. Update | |
| IDLE help. | |
| - Upon a restart, annotate the shell window with a "restart boundary". Add a | |
| shell window menu "Shell/View Restart" with binding F6 to jump to the most | |
| recent restart boundary. | |
| - Add Shell menu to Python Shell; change "Settings" to "Options". | |
| - Remove incorrect comment in setup.py: IDLEfork is now installed as a package. | |
| - Add INSTALL.txt, HISTORY.txt, NEWS.txt to installed configuration. | |
| - In installer text, fix reference to Visual Python, should be VPython. | |
| Properly credit David Scherer. | |
| - Modified idle, idle.py, idle.pyw to improve exception handling. | |
| What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 1? | |
| =================================== | |
| *Release date: 31-Dec-2002* | |
| - First release of major new functionality. For further details refer to | |
| Idle-dev and/or the Sourceforge CVS. | |
| - Adapted to the Mac platform. | |
| - Overhauled the IDLE startup options and revised the idle -h help message, | |
| which provides details of command line usage. | |
| - Multiple bug fixes and usability enhancements. | |
| - Introduced the new RPC implementation, which includes a debugger. The output | |
| of user code is to the shell, and the shell may be used to inspect the | |
| environment after the run has finished. (In version 0.8.1 the shell | |
| environment was separate from the environment of the user code.) | |
| - Introduced the configuration GUI and a new About dialog. | |
| - Removed David Scherer's Remote Procedure Call code and replaced with Guido | |
| van Rossum's. GvR code has support for the IDLE debugger and uses the shell | |
| to inspect the environment of code Run from an Edit window. Files removed: | |
| ExecBinding.py, loader.py, protocol.py, Remote.py, spawn.py | |
