IDLEfork 0.8.1 (xx JUN 2001)
----------------------------
New tarball released as a result of the 'revitalisation' of the IDLEfork
project.
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, for instance with running things from the shell window, that
may well have been introduced in a hasty attempt to change IDLEfork's
previous startup behaviour.
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 on a branch,
while stabilisation and development of less heavyweight improvements
(like user customisation) can continue on the trunk.
IDLE fork 0.7.1 (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 README
===============
IDLEfork is an official experimental fork of Python's Integrated
DeveLopment Environment IDLE. Worthwhile and successful changes and
additions will go back into the Python distribution's IDLE at some
later stage. There is no spanish inquisition.
As David Scherer aptly put it in the original IDLE fork README (below),
"It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks, you get to
keep both pieces." One of the aims of IDLEfork now is for it to be able
to be uncompressed into its own directory and run from there, that way
you can play with (or hack on) IDLEfork without any further installation,
and entirely separately from your stable python IDLE distribution.
If you find bugs or undesired behaviour please code nifty patches and
submit them to the IDLEfork SourceForge patch manager, 8^) or let us
know about it in one of the appropriate fora. See the IDLEfork home
page at
http://idlefork.sourceforge.net
for details on the various ways to give input to or contact the project.
Please see the files NEWS.txt and ChangeLog for more up to date
information on changes in this release of IDLEfork.
Thanks for trying IDLEfork,
Stephen M. Gava.
