New in IDLE 0.5 (2/15/2000)
|
||
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Tons of stuff, much of it contributed by Tim Peters and Mark Hammond:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Status bar, displaying current line/column (Moshe Zadka).
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Better stack viewer, using tree widget. (XXX Only used by Stack
|
||
|
Viewer menu, not by the debugger.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Format paragraph now recognizes Python block comments and reformats
|
||
|
them correctly (MH)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- New version of pyclbr.py parses top-level functions and understands
|
||
|
much more of Python's syntax; this is reflected in the class and path
|
||
|
browsers (TP)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Much better auto-indent; knows how to indent the insides of
|
||
|
multi-line statements (TP)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Call tip window pops up when you type the name of a known function
|
||
|
followed by an open parenthesis. Hit ESC or click elsewhere in the
|
||
|
window to close the tip window (MH)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Comment out region now inserts ## to make it stand out more (TP)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- New path and class browsers based on a tree widget that looks
|
||
|
familiar to Windows users
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Reworked script running commands to be more intuitive: I/O now
|
||
|
always goes to the *Python Shell* window, and raw_input() works
|
||
|
correctly. You use F5 to import/reload a module: this adds the module
|
||
|
name to the __main__ namespace. You use Control-F5 to run a script:
|
||
|
this runs the script *in* the __main__ namespace. The latter also
|
||
|
sets sys.argv[] to the script name
|
||
|
|
||
|
New in IDLE 0.4 (4/7/99)
|
||
|
------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Most important change: a new menu entry "File -> Path browser", shows
|
||
|
a 4-column hierarchical browser which lets you browse sys.path,
|
||
|
directories, modules, and classes. Yes, it's a superset of the Class
|
||
|
browser menu entry. There's also a new internal module,
|
||
|
MultiScrolledLists.py, which provides the framework for this dialog.
|
||
|
|
||
|
New in IDLE 0.3 (2/17/99)
|
||
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Most important changes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Enabled support for running a module, with or without the debugger.
|
||
|
Output goes to a new window. Pressing F5 in a module is effectively a
|
||
|
reload of that module; Control-F5 loads it under the debugger.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Re-enable tearing off the Windows menu, and make a torn-off Windows
|
||
|
menu update itself whenever a window is opened or closed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Menu items can now be have a checkbox (when the menu label starts
|
||
|
with "!"); use this for the Debugger and "Auto-open stack viewer"
|
||
|
(was: JIT stack viewer) menu items.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added a Quit button to the Debugger API.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The current directory is explicitly inserted into sys.path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fix the debugger (when using Python 1.5.2b2) to use canonical
|
||
|
filenames for breakpoints, so these actually work. (There's still a
|
||
|
lot of work to be done to the management of breakpoints in the
|
||
|
debugger though.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Closing a window that is still colorizing now actually works.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Allow dragging of the separator between the two list boxes in the
|
||
|
class browser.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Bind ESC to "close window" of the debugger, stack viewer and class
|
||
|
browser. It removes the selection highlighting in regular text
|
||
|
windows. (These are standard Windows conventions.)
|
||
|

Debug menu:
|
||
|
|
||
|

||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
Windows menu:
|
||
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
||
