What's New in IDLEfork 0.8.1?
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
*Release date: 22-Jul-2001*
|
||||
|
||||
- New tarball released as a result of the 'revitalisation' of the IDLEfork
|
||||
project.
|
||||
|
||||
- This release requires python 2.1 or better. Compatability with earlier
|
||||
versions of python (especially ancient ones like 1.5x) is no longer a
|
||||
priority in IDLEfork development.
|
||||
|
||||
- This release is based on a merging of the earlier IDLE fork work with current
|
||||
cvs IDLE (post IDLE version 0.8), with some minor additional coding by Kurt
|
||||
B. Kaiser and Stephen M. Gava.
|
||||
|
||||
- This release is basically functional but also contains some known breakages,
|
||||
particularly with running things from the shell window. Also the debugger is
|
||||
not working, but I believe this was the case with the previous IDLE fork
|
||||
release (0.7.1) as well.
|
||||
|
||||
- This release is being made now to mark the point at which IDLEfork is
|
||||
launching into a new stage of development.
|
||||
|
||||
- IDLEfork CVS will now be branched to enable further development and
|
||||
exploration of the two "execution in a remote process" patches submitted by
|
||||
David Scherer (David's is currently in IDLEfork) and GvR, while stabilisation
|
||||
and development of less heavyweight improvements (like user customisation)
|
||||
can continue on the trunk.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What's New in IDLEfork 0.7.1?
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
*Release date: 15-Aug-2000*
|
||||
|
||||
- First project tarball released.
|
||||
|
||||
- This was the first release of IDLE fork, which at this stage was a
|
||||
combination of IDLE 0.5 and the VPython idle fork, with additional changes
|
||||
coded by David Scherer, Peter Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley.
|
||||

|
||||
IDLEfork 0.7.1 - 29 May 2000
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
David Scherer <dscherer@cmu.edu>
|
||||
|
||||
- This is a modification of the CVS version of IDLE 0.5, updated as of
|
||||
2000-03-09. It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks, you
|
||||
get to keep both pieces.
|
||||
|
||||
- If you have problems or suggestions, you should either contact me or post to
|
||||
the list at http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev (making it clear
|
||||
that you are using this modified version of IDLE).
|
||||
|
||||
- Changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- The ExecBinding module, a replacement for ScriptBinding, executes programs
|
||||
in a separate process, piping standard I/O through an RPC mechanism to an
|
||||
OnDemandOutputWindow in IDLE. It supports executing unnamed programs
|
||||
(through a temporary file). It does not yet support debugging.
|
||||
|
||||
- When running programs with ExecBinding, tracebacks will be clipped to
|
||||
exclude system modules. If, however, a system module calls back into the
|
||||
user program, that part of the traceback will be shown.
|
||||
|
||||
- The OnDemandOutputWindow class has been improved. In particular, it now
|
||||
supports a readline() function used to implement user input, and a
|
||||
scroll_clear() operation which is used to hide the output of a previous run
|
||||
by scrolling it out of the window.
|
||||
|
||||
- Startup behavior has been changed. By default IDLE starts up with just a
|
||||
blank editor window, rather than an interactive window. Opening a file in
|
||||
such a blank window replaces the (nonexistent) contents of that window
|
||||
instead of creating another window. Because of the need to have a
|
||||
well-known port for the ExecBinding protocol, only one copy of IDLE can be
|
||||
running. Additional invocations use the RPC mechanism to report their
|
||||
command line arguments to the copy already running.
|
||||
|
||||
- The menus have been reorganized. In particular, the excessively large
|
||||
'edit' menu has been split up into 'edit', 'format', and 'run'.
|
||||
|
||||
- 'Python Documentation' now works on Windows, if the win32api module is
|
||||
present.
|
||||
|
||||
- A few key bindings have been changed: F1 now loads Python Documentation
|
||||
instead of the IDLE help; shift-TAB is now a synonym for unindent.
|
||||
|
||||
- New modules:
|
||||
|
||||
ExecBinding.py Executes program through loader
|
||||
loader.py Bootstraps user program
|
||||
protocol.py RPC protocol
|
||||
Remote.py User-process interpreter
|
||||
spawn.py OS-specific code to start programs
|
||||
|
||||
- Files modified:
|
||||
|
||||
autoindent.py ( bindings tweaked )
|
||||
bindings.py ( menus reorganized )
|
||||
config.txt ( execbinding enabled )
|
||||
editorwindow.py ( new menus, fixed 'Python Documentation' )
|
||||
filelist.py ( hook for "open in same window" )
|
||||
formatparagraph.py ( bindings tweaked )
|
||||
idle.bat ( removed absolute pathname )
|
||||
idle.pyw ( weird bug due to import with same name? )
|
||||
iobinding.py ( open in same window, EOL convention )
|
||||
keydefs.py ( bindings tweaked )
|
||||
outputwindow.py ( readline, scroll_clear, etc )
|
||||
pyshell.py ( changed startup behavior )
|
||||
readme.txt ( <Recursion on file with id=1234567> )

What's New in IDLE 0.9b1+?
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
*Release date: XX-XXX-2003*
|
||||
|
||||
- (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.
