|
||
|
||
- Issue 15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process)

||
before closing the debugger window (running in the IDLE process).

|
||
The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes.

|
||
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.
|
||

|
||
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.

|
||
- Configured selection highlighting colors were ignored; updating highlighting
|
||
in the config dialog would cause non-Python files to be colored as if they
|
||
were Python source; improve use of ColorDelagator. Patch 1334. Tal Einat.
|
||
|
||
- ScriptBinding event handlers weren't returning 'break'. Patch 2050, Tal Einat
|
||
|
||
- There was an error on exit if no sys.exitfunc was defined. Issue 1647.
|
||
|
||
- Could not open files in .idlerc directory if latter was hidden on Windows.
|
||
Issue 1743, Issue 1862.
|
||
|
||
- Configure Dialog: improved layout for keybinding. Patch 1457 Tal Einat.
|
||
|
||
- tabpage.py updated: tabbedPages.py now supports multiple dynamic rows
|
||
of tabs. Patch 1612746 Tal Einat.
|
||
|
||
- Add confirmation dialog before printing. Patch 1717170 Tal Einat.
|
||
|
||
- Show paste position if > 80 col. Patch 1659326 Tal Einat.
|
||
|
||
- Update cursor color without restarting. Patch 1725576 Tal Einat.
|
||
|
||
- Allow keyboard interrupt only when user code is executing in subprocess.
|
||
Patch 1225 Tal Einat (reworked from IDLE-Spoon).
|
||
|
||
- configDialog cleanup. Patch 1730217 Tal Einat.
|
||
|
||
- textView cleanup. Patch 1718043 Tal Einat.
|
||
|
||
- Clean up EditorWindow close.
|
||
|
||
- Patch 1693258: Fix for duplicate "preferences" menu-OS X. Backport of r56204.
|
||
|
||
- 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*
|
||
|
||
- Added a banner to the shell discussing warnings possibly raised by personal
|
||
firewall software. Added same comment to README.txt.
|
||
|
||
- 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!

||
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.

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
