|
|
|
What's New in IDLE 1.2a1?
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 05-APR-2006*
|
|
|
|
- Patch #1162825: Support non-ASCII characters in IDLE window titles.
|
|
|
|
- Source file f.flush() after writing; trying to avoid lossage if user
|
|
kills GUI.
|
|
|
|
- Options / Keys / Advanced dialog made functional. Also, allow binding
|
|
of 'movement' keys.
|
|
|
|
- 'syntax' patch adds improved calltips and a new class attribute listbox.
|
|
MultiCall module allows binding multiple actions to an event.
|
|
Patch 906702 Noam Raphael
|
|
|
|
- Better indentation after first line of string continuation.
|
|
IDLEfork Patch 681992, Noam Raphael
|
|
|
|
- Fixed CodeContext alignment problem, following suggestion from Tal Einat.
|
|
|
|
- Increased performance in CodeContext extension Patch 936169 Noam Raphael
|
|
|
|
- Mac line endings were incorrect when pasting code from some browsers
|
|
when using X11 and the Fink distribution. Python Bug 1263656.
|
|
|
|
- <Enter> when cursor is on a previous command retrieves that command. Instead
|
|
of replacing the input line, the previous command is now appended to the
|
|
input line. Indentation is preserved, and undo is enabled.
|
|
Patch 1196917 Jeff Shute
|
|
|
|
- Clarify "tab/space" Error Dialog and "Tab Width" Dialog associated with
|
|
the Untabify command.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected "tab/space" Error Dialog to show correct menu for Untabify.
|
|
Patch 1196980 Jeff Shute
|
|
|
|
- New files are colorized by default, and colorizing is removed when
|
|
saving as non-Python files. Patch 1196895 Jeff Shute
|
|
Closes Python Bugs 775012 and 800432, partial fix IDLEfork 763524
|
|
|
|
- Improve subprocess link error notification.
|
|
|
|
- run.py: use Queue's blocking feature instead of sleeping in the main
|
|
loop. Patch # 1190163 Michiel de Hoon
|
|
|
|
- Add config-main option to make the 'history' feature non-cyclic.
|
|
Default remains cyclic. Python Patch 914546 Noam Raphael.
|
|
|
|
- Removed ability to configure tabs indent from Options dialog. This 'feature'
|
|
has never worked and no one has complained. It is still possible to set a
|
|
default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on
|
|
tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will
|
|
encourage indentation via spaces.
|
|
|
|
- Enable setting the indentation width using the Options dialog.
|
|
Bug # 783877
|
|
|
|
- Add keybindings for del-word-left and del-word-right.
|
|
|
|
- Discourage using an indent width other than 8 when using tabs to indent
|
|
Python code.
|
|
|
|
- Restore use of EditorWindow.set_indentation_params(), was dead code since
|
|
Autoindent was merged into EditorWindow. This allows IDLE to conform to the
|
|
indentation width of a loaded file. (But it still will not switch to tabs
|
|
even if the file uses tabs.) Any change in indent width is local to that
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
- Add Tabnanny check before Run/F5, not just when Checking module.
|
|
|
|
- If an extension can't be loaded, print warning and skip it instead of
|
|
erroring out.
|
|
|
|
- Improve error handling when .idlerc can't be created (warn and exit).
|
|
|
|
- The GUI was hanging if the shell window was closed while a raw_input()
|
|
was pending. Restored the quit() of the readline() mainloop().
|
|
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2004-December/002307.html
|
|
|
|
- The remote procedure call module rpc.py can now access data attributes of
|
|
remote registered objects. Changes to these attributes are local, however.
|
|
|
|
What's New in IDLE 1.1?
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 30-NOV-2004*
|
|
|
|
- On OpenBSD, terminating IDLE with ctrl-c from the command line caused a
|
|
stuck subprocess MainThread because only the SocketThread was exiting.
|
|
|
|
What's New in IDLE 1.1b3/rc1?
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 18-NOV-2004*
|
|
|
|
- Saving a Keyset w/o making changes (by using the "Save as New Custom Key Set"
|
|
button) caused IDLE to fail on restart (no new keyset was created in
|
|
config-keys.cfg). Also true for Theme/highlights. Python Bug 1064535.
|
|
|
|
- A change to the linecache.py API caused IDLE to exit when an exception was
|
|
raised while running without the subprocess (-n switch). Python Bug 1063840.
|
|
|
|
What's New in IDLE 1.1b2?
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 03-NOV-2004*
|
|
|
|
- When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was
|
|
introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how
|
|
far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width
|
|
to the reformat width. This has been repaired, and the reformat
|
|
width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines.
|
|
|
|
What's New in IDLE 1.1b1?
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 15-OCT-2004*
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's New in IDLE 1.1a3?
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 02-SEP-2004*
|
|
|
|
- Improve keyboard focus binding, especially in Windows menu. Improve
|
|
window raising, especially in the Windows menu and in the debugger.
|
|
IDLEfork 763524.
|
|
|
|
- If user passes a non-existent filename on the commandline, just
|
|
open a new file, don't raise a dialog. IDLEfork 854928.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's New in IDLE 1.1a2?
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 05-AUG-2004*
|
|
|
|
- EditorWindow.py was not finding the .chm help file on Windows. Typo
|
|
at Rev 1.54. Python Bug 990954
|
|
|
|
- checking sys.platform for substring 'win' was breaking IDLE docs on Mac
|
|
(darwin). Also, Mac Safari browser requires full file:// URIs. SF 900580.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's New in IDLE 1.1a1?
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 08-JUL-2004*
|
|
|
|
- Redirect the warning stream to the shell during the ScriptBinding check of
|
|
user code and format the warning similarly to an exception for both that
|
|
check and for runtime warnings raised in the subprocess.
|
|
|
|
- CodeContext hint pane visibility state is now persistent across sessions.
|
|
The pane no longer appears in the shell window. Added capability to limit
|
|
extensions to shell window or editor windows. Noam Raphael addition
|
|
to Patch 936169.
|
|
|
|
- Paragraph reformat width is now a configurable parameter in the
|
|
Options GUI.
|
|
|
|
- New Extension: CodeContext. Provides block structuring hints for code
|
|
which has scrolled above an edit window. Patch 936169 Noam Raphael.
|
|
|
|
- If nulls somehow got into the strings in recent-files.lst
|
|
EditorWindow.update_recent_files_list() was failing. Python Bug 931336.
|
|
|
|
- If the normal background is changed via Configure/Highlighting, it will
|
|
update immediately, thanks to the previously mentioned patch by Nigel Rowe.
|
|
|
|
- Add a highlight theme for builtin keywords. Python Patch 805830 Nigel Rowe
|
|
This also fixed IDLEfork bug [ 693418 ] Normal text background color not
|
|
refreshed and Python bug [897872 ] Unknown color name on HP-UX
|
|
|
|
- rpc.py:SocketIO - Large modules were generating large pickles when downloaded
|
|
to the execution server. The return of the OK response from the subprocess
|
|
initialization was interfering and causing the sending socket to be not
|
|
ready. Add an IO ready test to fix this. Moved the polling IO ready test
|
|
into pollpacket().
|
|
|
|
- Fix typo in rpc.py, s/b "pickle.PicklingError" not "pickle.UnpicklingError".
|
|
|
|
- Added a Tk error dialog to run.py inform the user if the subprocess can't
|
|
connect to the user GUI process. Added a timeout to the GUI's listening
|
|
socket. Added Tk error dialogs to PyShell.py to announce a failure to bind
|
|
the port or connect to the subprocess. Clean up error handling during
|
|
connection initiation phase. This is an update of Python Patch 778323.
|
|
|
|
- Print correct exception even if source file changed since shell was
|
|
restarted. IDLEfork Patch 869012 Noam Raphael
|
|
|
|
- Keybindings with the Shift modifier now work correctly. So do bindings which
|
|
use the Space key. Limit unmodified user keybindings to the function keys.
|
|
Python Bug 775353, IDLEfork Bugs 755647, 761557
|
|
|
|
- After an exception, run.py was not setting the exception vector. Noam
|
|
Raphael suggested correcting this so pdb's postmortem pm() would work.
|
|
IDLEfork Patch 844675
|
|
|
|
- IDLE now does not fail to save the file anymore if the Tk buffer is not a
|
|
Unicode string, yet eol_convention is. Python Bugs 774680, 788378
|
|
|
|
- IDLE didn't start correctly when Python was installed in "Program Files" on
|
|
W2K and XP. Python Bugs 780451, 784183
|
|
|
|
- config-main.def documentation incorrectly referred to idle- instead of
|
|
config- filenames. SF 782759 Also added note about .idlerc location.
|
|

What's New in IDLE 1.0b2?
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 29-Jun-2003*
|
|
|
|
- Extend AboutDialog.ViewFile() to support file encodings. Make the CREDITS
|
|
file Latin-1.
|
|
|
|
- Updated the About dialog to reflect re-integration into Python. Provide
|
|
buttons to display Python's NEWS, License, and Credits, plus additional
|
|
buttons for IDLE's README and NEWS.
|
|
|
|
- TextViewer() now has a third parameter which allows inserting text into the
|
|
viewer instead of reading from a file.
|
|
|
|
- (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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's New in IDLEfork 0.9b1?
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 02-Jun-2003*
|
|
|
|
- The current working directory of the execution environment (and shell
|
|
following completion of execution) is now that of the module being run.
|
|
|
|
- Added the delete-exitfunc option to config-main.def. (This option is not
|
|
included in the Options dialog.) Setting this to True (the default) will
|
|
cause IDLE to not run sys.exitfunc/atexit when the subprocess exits.
|
|
|
|
- IDLE now preserves the line ending codes when editing a file produced on
|
|
a different platform. SF 661759, SF 538584
|
|
|
|
- Reduced default editor font size to 10 point and increased window height
|
|
to provide a better initial impression on Windows.
|
|
|
|
- Options / Fonts/Tabs / Set Base Editor Font: List box was not highlighting
|
|
the default font when first installed on Windows. SF 661676
|
|
|
|
- Added Autosave feature: when user runs code from edit window, if the file
|
|
has been modified IDLE will silently save it if Autosave is enabled. The
|
|
option is set in the Options dialog, and the default is to prompt the
|
|
user to save the file. SF 661318 Bruce Sherwood patch.
|
|
|
|
- Improved the RESTART annotation in the shell window when the user restarts
|
|
the shell while it is generating output. Also improved annotation when user
|
|
repeatedly hammers the Ctrl-F6 restart.
|
|
|
|
- Allow IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory
|
|
SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up" - Raphael
|
|
|
|
- When a module is run from an EditorWindow: if its directory is not in
|
|
sys.path, prepend it. This allows the module to import other modules in
|
|
the same directory. Do the same for a script run from the command line.
|
|
|
|
- Correctly restart the subprocess if it is running user code and the user
|
|
attempts to run some other module or restarts the shell. Do the same if
|
|
the link is broken and it is possible to restart the subprocess and re-
|
|
connect to the GUI. SF RFE 661321.
|
|
|
|
- Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the
|
|
command line.
|
|
|
|
- Added a -n command line switch to start IDLE without the subprocess.
|
|
Removed the Shell menu when running in that mode. Updated help messages.
|
|
|
|
- Added a comment to the shell startup header to indicate when IDLE is not
|
|
using the subprocess.
|
|
|
|
- Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for
|
|
some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the
|
|
debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be
|
|
desirable, depending on your point of view. In addition, the traditional
|
|
reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.) This is
|
|
helpful for developing IDLE using IDLE, because one instance can be used to
|
|
edit the code and a separate instance run to test changes. (Multiple
|
|
concurrent IDLE instances with subprocesses is a future feature)
|
|
|
|
- Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII
|
|
characters and no source encoding is specified. Done by adding a dialog
|
|
'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry
|
|
widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically.
|
|
Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three
|
|
possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show
|
|
this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files
|
|
with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that
|
|
files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the
|
|
source contains characters outside the locale's charset. SF 710733 - Loewis
|
|
|
|
- Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various
|
|
calls to signal.signal().
|
|
|
|
- Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass
|
|
loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension. User code runs
|
|
in MainThread, while the RPCServer is handled by SockThread. This is
|
|
necessary because Windows doesn't support signals.
|
|
|
|
- Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread
|
|
to raise a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread.
|
|
|
|
- Attempting to save the shell raised an error related to saving
|
|
breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell
|
|
|
|
- Provide a correct message when 'exit' or 'quit' are entered at the
|
|
IDLE command prompt SF 695861
|
|
|
|
- Eliminate extra blank line in shell output caused by not flushing
|
|
stdout when user code ends with an unterminated print. SF 695861
|
|
|
|
- Moved responsibility for exception formatting (i.e. pruning IDLE internal
|
|
calls) out of rpc.py into the client and server.
|
|
|
|
- Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O
|
|
|
|
- Handle subprocess interrupt with an RPC message.
|
|
|
|
- Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that)
|
|
|
|
- Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the
|
|
exception formatting to the subprocess.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 2?
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Updated INSTALL.txt to claify use of the python2 rpm.
|
|
|
|
- Improved formatting in IDLE Help.
|
|
|
|
- Run menu: Replace "Run Script" with "Run Module".
|
|
|
|
- Code encountering an unhandled exception under the debugger now shows
|
|
the correct traceback, with IDLE internal levels pruned out.
|
|
|
|
- If an exception occurs entirely in IDLE, don't prune the IDLE internal
|
|
modules from the traceback displayed.
|
|
|
|
- Class Browser and Path Browser now use Alt-Key-2 for vertical zoom.
|
|
|
|
- IDLE icons will now install correctly even when setup.py is run from the
|
|
build directory
|
|
|
|
- Class Browser now compatible with Python2.3 version of pyclbr.py
|
|
|
|
- Left cursor move in presence of selected text now moves from left end
|
|
of the selection.
|
|
|
|
- Add Meta keybindings to "IDLE Classic Windows" to handle reversed
|
|
Alt/Meta on some Linux distros.
|
|
|
|
- Change default: IDLE now starts with Python Shell.
|
|
|
|
- Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list.
|
|
|
|
- Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the
|
|
Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is
|
|
validated, as before.)
|
|
|
|
- Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the
|
|
order entered. Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option'
|
|
number.
|
|
|
|
- Add Browse button to New Help Source dialog. Arrange to start in
|
|
Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory.
|
|
|
|
- Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in
|
|
an Extra Help cascade menu. Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional
|
|
Help Sources come last. Update help.txt appropriately.
|
|
|
|
- Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py and configDialog.py
|
|
|
|
- Uniform capitalization in General tab of ConfigDialog, update the doc string.
|
|
|
|
- Fix bug in ConfigDialog where SaveAllChangedConfig() was unexpectedly
|
|
deleting Additional Help Sources from the user's config file.
|
|
|
|
- Make configHelpSourceEdit OK button the default and bind <Return>
|
|
|
|
- Fix Tk root pop-ups in configHelpSourceEdit: error dialogs not attached
|
|
to parents.
|
|
|
|
- Use os.startfile() to open both Additional Help and Python Help on the
|
|
Windows platform. The application associated with the file type will act as
|
|
the viewer. Windows help files (.chm) are now supported via the
|
|
Settings/General/Additional Help facility.
|
|
|
|
- If Python Help files are installed locally on Linux, use them instead of
|
|
accessing python.org.
|
|
|
|
- Make the methods for finding the Python help docs more robust, and make
|
|
them work in the installed configuration, also.
|
|
|
|
- On the Save Before Run dialog, make the OK button the default. One
|
|
less mouse action!
|
|
|
|
- Add a method: EditorWindow.get_geometry() for future use in implementing
|
|
window location persistence.
|
|
|
|
- Removed the "Help/Advice" menu entry. Thanks, David! We'll remember!
|
|

What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 1?
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: 31-Dec-2002*
|
|
|
|
- First release of major new functionality. For further details refer to
|
|
Idle-dev and/or the Sourceforge CVS.
|
|
|
|
- Adapted to the Mac platform.
|
|
|
|
- Overhauled the IDLE startup options and revised the idle -h help message,
|
|
which provides details of command line usage.
|
|
|
|
- Multiple bug fixes and usability enhancements.
|
|
|
|
- Introduced the new RPC implementation, which includes a debugger. The output
|
|
of user code is to the shell, and the shell may be used to inspect the
|
|
environment after the run has finished. (In version 0.8.1 the shell
|
|
environment was separate from the environment of the user code.)
|
|
|
|
- Introduced the configuration GUI and a new About dialog.
|
|
|
|
- Removed David Scherer's Remote Procedure Call code and replaced with Guido
|
|
van Rossum's. GvR code has support for the IDLE debugger and uses the shell
|
|
to inspect the environment of code Run from an Edit window. Files removed:
|
|
ExecBinding.py, loader.py, protocol.py, Remote.py, spawn.py
