Guido van Rossum f61f166bca Added a whole slew of news items. Not striving for completeness --
I've skipped all bugfixes, Unicode, distutils changes.  But this
should be a start!

Guido van Rossum c4e1775081 Two new names. 2001-01-03 23:51:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 36cdad12dd Fred, THIS NEEDS DOCS! The function docstrings tell the tale.
Christmas present to myself:  the bisect module didn't define what
happened if the new element was already in the list.  It so happens
that it inserted the new element "to the right" of all equal elements.
Since it wasn't defined, among other bad implications it was a mystery
how to use bisect to determine whether an element was already in the
list (I've seen code that *assumed* "to the right" without justification).
Added new methods bisect_left and insort_left that insert "to the left"
instead; made the old names bisect and insort aliases for the new names
bisect_right and insort_right; beefed up docstrings to explain what
these actually do; and added a std test for the bisect module.

Barry Warsaw e0c182fb5f (python-font-lock-keywords): Add highlighting of `as' as a keyword,
but only in "import foo as bar" statements (including optional
preceding `from' clause).

Guido van Rossum 37da22b3f4 The C+ compiler is called $(CXX) these days, not CCC.
This fixes SF Bug #124478.
2000-12-06 23:46:29 +00:00
Tim Peters 9940b800a4 Made the description of %[udxXo] formats of negative longs in 2.1 more accurate.
I suggested to Guido that %u be deprecated (it seems useless in Python to me).

Tim Peters a3a3a030af Fox for SF bug #123859: %[duxXo] long formats inconsistent. 2000-11-30 05:22:44 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3c34bb33ff (py-goto-beginning-of-tqs): When searching backwards for the matching
delimiter, watch out for backslash escaped delimiters.  Also use =
instead of eq for character comparison (because a character is = to
it's integer value, but not eq to it).

Tim Peters 077a11dd00 arraymodule: Fix SF bug 113960.
reverse() didn't work at all due to bad arg check.
    Fixed that.
    Added Brad Chapman to ACKS file, as the proud new owner of two
        implicitly copyrighted lines of Python source code <wink>.
    Repaired buffer_info's total lack of arg-checking.
    Replaced memmove by memcpy in reverse() guts, as memmove is
        often slower and the memory areas are guaranteed disjoint.
    Replaced poke-and-hope unchecked decl of tmp buffer size by
        assert-checked larger tmp buffer.
    Got rid of inconsistent spaces before open paren in docstrings.
    Added reverse() sanity tests to test_array.py.

Tim Peters 8b09233f93 Added Windows news. Also repeated 1.6 Windows news since most people getting
2.0b1 for Windows will not have bothered getting 1.6.  Also changed
"Changed, New, Obsolete Tools" to say "None" since nobody had put an entry
there.
2000-09-05 20:15:25 +00:00

I could use help here!!!!  Please mail me patches ASAP.  We may have

now...

Marc-André Lemburg bff879cabb This patch finalizes the move from UTF-8 to a default encoding in
the Python Unicode implementation.

The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).

Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.

(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
 of the CVS tree.)

Guido van Rossum e8d2d6b34c Some new names (some contributors of patches that haven't even been
accepted yet!)
2000-06-29 00:04:51 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 99eadf4de9 (py-execute-region): Make sure the new temporary buffer is current for
the insertion of the text.
2000-06-23 20:24:25 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg bfa36f5407 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Updated to version 1.5. Includes typo fixes by Andrew Kuchling
and a new section on the default encoding.
2000-06-08 17:51:33 +00:00
Barry Warsaw caee2fe35d (py-execute-region): Based on suggestions by Francois Pinard and Skip
Montanaro, handle execution of indented regions by inserting an "if
1:" in front of the block.  This better preserves things like triple
quoted strings and commented regions.  This patch resolves PR#264.
2000-05-23 05:47:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9ab06ee7b2 Added a few new names... 2000-05-11 18:20:30 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 2581764f21 Version 1.3 of the Python Unicode Integration proposal. 2000-04-10 19:45:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0b4400e86c Bunch of new names, mostly from patches and bugs mailing lists
(everyone who said something remotely useful in the last 100 messages
I archived has been added :-).
2000-04-10 19:14:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 494ef17472 Two more names. I just realize that there may be more contributors to
distutils lurking in CVS logs that I probably haven't read.  Oh well.
2000-03-31 19:51:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5964f8d60b I believe I've now got all the names mentioned in the CVS logs since
1.5.2 was released, except those who contributed only to Doc files --
Fred has his own way of doing this.

This doesn't mean that I've got everyone who contributed *before*
1.5.2 was released in here... :-(
2000-03-31 19:45:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0380c2638c More names. 2000-03-31 13:01:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fb2789f387 Couple more names. We need to add way more names -- I'll have to dig
them out of the changelogs :-(
