What's New in IDLE 0.9b1+?
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
*Release date: XX-XXX-2003*
|
|
|
|
- (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.

|
|
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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- 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.

|
|
shell window menu "Shell/View Restart" with binding F6 to jump to the most
|
|
recent restart boundary.
|
|
|
|
- Add Shell menu to Python Shell; change "Settings" to "Options".
|
|
|
|
- Remove incorrect comment in setup.py: IDLEfork is now installed as a package.
|
|
|
|
- Add INSTALL.txt, HISTORY.txt, NEWS.txt to installed configuration.
|
|

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
|
|
|
