o Makes the tab key intelligently insert spaces when appropriate (see Help
list banter twixt David Ascher and me; idea stolen from every other editor
on earth <wink>).
o newline_and_indent_event trims trailing whitespace on the old line (pymode
and Codewright).
o newline_and_indent_event no longer fooled by trailing whitespace or
comment after ":" (pymode, PTUI).
o newline_and_indent_event now reduces the new line's indentation after
return, break, continue, raise and pass stmts (pymode).
The last two are easy to fool in the presence of strings & continuations,
but pymode requires Emacs's high-powered C parsing functions to avoid that
in finite time.
Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
see extend.txt. Some sample extensions have been provided, and
some existing code has been converted to extensions. Probably the
biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
search and replace, and even search in files (grep).
This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
