Instead of displaying a fixed number of lines, some blank, Code Context
now displays the variable number of actual context lines. When there
are no context lines, it shows a single blank line to indicate that the
feature is turned on.
The Code Context configuration option is changed from 'numlines'
(default 3) to 'maxlines' (default 15) to avoid possible interference
between user settings for the old and new versions of Code Context.
About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional
extensions. Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for
users and not good for maintenance. Hence the conversion.
The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings
for builtin features are now handled uniformly. Now, editing a binding
in a keyset only affects its value in the keyset. All bindings are
defined together in the system-specific default keysets in config-
extensions.def. All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config-
extension.cfg. All take effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok.
The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>', '<<expand-word>>',
'<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>', '<<format-paragraph>>',
'<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and '<<zoom-height>>'. Any
(global) customizations made before 3.6.3 will not affect their keyset-
specific customization after 3.6.3. and vice versa.

2. Add a <<toggle-code-context>> envent to the [CodeContext] section of
config-extensions.def and also a default-on variable, set to 0.
3. Update the help file to include Code Context.

Extensions must still be configured manually and there is currently one
set of extension key bindings for all platforms.
Bring NEWS.txt up to date.
