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.) + ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New in IDLE 0.2 (1/8/99)
