IDLE
----
- 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, ... .
Selecting it displays the following warning and solution.
"IDLE Dark is new in October, 2015. Trying to run earlier versions
of IDLE with it selected will disable colorizing, or worse.
If you might ever run an earlier release of IDLE, then before
exiting this version, either switch to another theme or hit the
'Save as New Custom Theme' button. The latter requires a new name,
such as 'Custom Dark', but the custom theme will work with any IDLE
release, and can be modified."
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 and is
redundant. IDLE now means 'Integrated Development and Learning Environment'.
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 user, on all systems. Found items are now

always highlighted on Windows. Initial patch by Mark Roseman.
