| 9 | when using X11 and the Fink distribution. Python Bug 1263656. |
| 10 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a7daba6 | 2005-06-19 18:56:15 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | - <Enter> when cursor is on a previous command retrieves that command. Instead |
| 12 | of replacing the input line, the previous command is now appended to the |
| 13 | input line. Indentation is preserved, and undo is enabled. |
| 14 | Patch 1196917 Jeff Shute |
| 15 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | ca7329c | 2005-06-12 05:19:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | - Clarify "tab/space" Error Dialog and "Tab Width" Dialog associated with |
| 17 | the Untabify command. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - Corrected "tab/space" Error Dialog to show correct menu for Untabify. |
| 20 | Patch 1196980 Jeff Shute |
| 21 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | df506ea | 2005-06-12 04:33:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | - New files are colorized by default, and colorizing is removed when |
| 23 | saving as non-Python files. Patch 1196895 Jeff Shute |
| 24 | Closes Python Bugs 775012 and 800432, partial fix IDLEfork 763524 |
| 25 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 935ea9a | 2005-05-10 03:44:24 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 26 | - Improve subprocess link error notification. |
| 27 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 20345fb | 2005-05-05 23:29:54 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 28 | - run.py: use Queue's blocking feature instead of sleeping in the main |
| 29 | loop. Patch # 1190163 Michiel de Hoon |
| 30 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 0676dfd | 2005-02-03 01:37:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 31 | - Add config-main option to make the 'history' feature non-cyclic. |
| 32 | Default remains cyclic. Python Patch 914546 Noam Raphael. |
| 33 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | acdef85 | 2005-01-31 03:34:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 34 | - Removed ability to configure tabs indent from Options dialog. This 'feature' |
| 35 | has never worked and no one has complained. It is still possible to set a |
| 36 | default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on |
| 37 | tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will |
| 38 | encourage indentation via spaces. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | - Enable setting the indentation width using the Options dialog. |
| 41 | Bug # 783877 |
| 42 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 3069dbb | 2005-01-28 00:16:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | - Add keybindings for del-word-left and del-word-right. |
| 44 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 6af4498 | 2005-01-19 00:22:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 45 | - Discourage using an indent width other than 8 when using tabs to indent |
| 46 | Python code. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | - Restore use of EditorWindow.set_indentation_params(), was dead code since |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 3069dbb | 2005-01-28 00:16:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 49 | Autoindent was merged into EditorWindow. This allows IDLE to conform to the |
| 50 | indentation width of a loaded file. (But it still will not switch to tabs |
| 51 | even if the file uses tabs.) Any change in indent width is local to that |
| 52 | window. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 6af4498 | 2005-01-19 00:22:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 53 | |
| 54 | - Add Tabnanny check before Run/F5, not just when Checking module. |

| 57 | erroring out. |
| 58 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 3069dbb | 2005-01-28 00:16:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 59 | - Improve error handling when .idlerc can't be created (warn and exit). |
| 60 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5c3df35 | 2004-12-23 04:20:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 61 | - The GUI was hanging if the shell window was closed while a raw_input() |
| 62 | was pending. Restored the quit() of the readline() mainloop(). |
| 63 | http://mail.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2004-December/002307.html |
| 64 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | dcba662 | 2004-12-21 22:10:32 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 65 | - The remote procedure call module rpc.py can now access data attributes of |
| 66 | remote registered objects. Changes to these attributes are local, however. |
| 67 | |

| 73 | - On OpenBSD, terminating IDLE with ctrl-c from the command line caused a |
| 74 | stuck subprocess MainThread because only the SocketThread was exiting. |
| 75 | |
Anthony Baxter | b0c6630 | 2004-11-04 05:23:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 76 | What's New in IDLE 1.1b3/rc1? |

Anthony Baxter | b0c6630 | 2004-11-04 05:23:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 80 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 03562a5 | 2004-11-16 21:31:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 81 | - Saving a Keyset w/o making changes (by using the "Save as New Custom Key Set" |
| 82 | button) caused IDLE to fail on restart (no new keyset was created in |
| 83 | config-keys.cfg). Also true for Theme/highlights. Python Bug 1064535. |
| 84 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | f7a8899 | 2004-11-13 21:05:58 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 85 | - A change to the linecache.py API caused IDLE to exit when an exception was |

Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 92 | |
| 93 | - When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was |
| 94 | introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how |
| 95 | far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width |
| 96 | to the reformat width. This has been repaired, and the reformat |
| 97 | width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines. |

| 171 | the port or connect to the subprocess. Clean up error handling during |
| 172 | connection initiation phase. This is an update of Python Patch 778323. |

| 254 | - When using the Search in Files dialog, if the user had a selection |
| 255 | highlighted in his Editor window, insert it into the dialog search field. |
| 256 | |
| 257 | - The Python Shell entry was disappearing from the Windows menu. |
| 258 | |
| 259 | - Update the Windows file list when a file name change occurs |
| 260 | |
| 261 | - Change to File / Open Module: always pop up the dialog, using the current |
| 262 | selection as the default value. This is easier to use habitually. |
| 263 | |
| 264 | - Avoided a problem with starting the subprocess when 'localhost' doesn't |
| 265 | resolve to the user's loopback interface. SF 747772 |
| 266 | |
| 267 | - Fixed an issue with highlighted errors never de-colorizing. SF 747677. Also |
| 268 | improved notification of Tabnanny Token Error. |
| 269 | |
| 270 | - File / New will by default save in the directory of the Edit window from |
| 271 | which it was initiated. SF 748973 Guido van Rossum patch. |

Kurt B. Kaiser | 4d5bc60 | 2004-06-06 01:29:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 275 | ============================= |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 276 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 76bcb5c | 2003-06-14 02:51:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 277 | *Release date: 02-Jun-2003* |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a00050f | 2003-05-08 20:26:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 278 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 279 | - The current working directory of the execution environment (and shell |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 280 | following completion of execution) is now that of the module being run. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 281 | |
| 282 | - Added the delete-exitfunc option to config-main.def. (This option is not |
| 283 | included in the Options dialog.) Setting this to True (the default) will |
| 284 | cause IDLE to not run sys.exitfunc/atexit when the subprocess exits. |
| 285 | |
| 286 | - IDLE now preserves the line ending codes when editing a file produced on |
| 287 | a different platform. SF 661759, SF 538584 |
| 288 | |
| 289 | - Reduced default editor font size to 10 point and increased window height |
| 290 | to provide a better initial impression on Windows. |
| 291 | |
| 292 | - Options / Fonts/Tabs / Set Base Editor Font: List box was not highlighting |
| 293 | the default font when first installed on Windows. SF 661676 |
| 294 | |
| 295 | - Added Autosave feature: when user runs code from edit window, if the file |
| 296 | has been modified IDLE will silently save it if Autosave is enabled. The |
| 297 | option is set in the Options dialog, and the default is to prompt the |
| 298 | user to save the file. SF 661318 Bruce Sherwood patch. |
| 299 | |
| 300 | - Improved the RESTART annotation in the shell window when the user restarts |
| 301 | the shell while it is generating output. Also improved annotation when user |
| 302 | repeatedly hammers the Ctrl-F6 restart. |
| 303 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a80d57c | 2003-05-17 03:15:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 304 | - Allow IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory |
| 305 | SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up" - Raphael |
| 306 | |
| 307 | - When a module is run from an EditorWindow: if its directory is not in |
| 308 | sys.path, prepend it. This allows the module to import other modules in |
| 309 | the same directory. Do the same for a script run from the command line. |
| 310 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 311 | - Correctly restart the subprocess if it is running user code and the user |
| 312 | attempts to run some other module or restarts the shell. Do the same if |
| 313 | the link is broken and it is possible to restart the subprocess and re- |
| 314 | connect to the GUI. SF RFE 661321. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 315 | |
| 316 | - Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the |
| 317 | command line. |
| 318 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a80d57c | 2003-05-17 03:15:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 319 | - Added a -n command line switch to start IDLE without the subprocess. |
| 320 | Removed the Shell menu when running in that mode. Updated help messages. |
| 321 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 322 | - Added a comment to the shell startup header to indicate when IDLE is not |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a80d57c | 2003-05-17 03:15:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 323 | using the subprocess. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 324 | |
| 325 | - Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for |
| 326 | some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the |
| 327 | debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be |
| 328 | desirable, depending on your point of view. In addition, the traditional |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 329 | reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.) This is |
| 330 | helpful for developing IDLE using IDLE, because one instance can be used to |
| 331 | edit the code and a separate instance run to test changes. (Multiple |
| 332 | concurrent IDLE instances with subprocesses is a future feature) |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 333 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 73414a2 | 2003-05-12 03:04:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 334 | - Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII |
| 335 | characters and no source encoding is specified. Done by adding a dialog |
| 336 | 'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry |
| 337 | widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically. |
| 338 | Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three |
| 339 | possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show |
| 340 | this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files |
| 341 | with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that |
| 342 | files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the |
| 343 | source contains characters outside the locale's charset. SF 710733 - Loewis |
| 344 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a00050f | 2003-05-08 20:26:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 345 | - Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various |
| 346 | calls to signal.signal(). |
| 347 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 348 | - Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 73414a2 | 2003-05-12 03:04:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 349 | loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension. User code runs |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 350 | in MainThread, while the RPCServer is handled by SockThread. This is |
| 351 | necessary because Windows doesn't support signals. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 352 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 94afd30 | 2003-03-12 20:52:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 353 | - Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread |
| 354 | to raise a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread. |
| 355 | |
| 356 | - Attempting to save the shell raised an error related to saving |
| 357 | breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell |
| 358 | |
| 359 | - Provide a correct message when 'exit' or 'quit' are entered at the |
| 360 | IDLE command prompt SF 695861 |
| 361 | |
| 362 | - Eliminate extra blank line in shell output caused by not flushing |
| 363 | stdout when user code ends with an unterminated print. SF 695861 |
| 364 | |
| 365 | - Moved responsibility for exception formatting (i.e. pruning IDLE internal |
| 366 | calls) out of rpc.py into the client and server. |
| 367 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 368 | - Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O |
| 369 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 370 | - Handle subprocess interrupt with an RPC message. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 371 | |
| 372 | - Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that) |
| 373 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 374 | - Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 375 | exception formatting to the subprocess. |

| 380 | =================================== |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 2cb5402 | 2002-12-31 18:12:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 381 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 7e17289 | 2003-01-27 02:40:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 382 | *Release date: 27-Jan-2003* |
| 383 | |
| 384 | - Updated INSTALL.txt to claify use of the python2 rpm. |
| 385 | |
| 386 | - Improved formatting in IDLE Help. |
| 387 | |
| 388 | - Run menu: Replace "Run Script" with "Run Module". |
| 389 | |
| 390 | - Code encountering an unhandled exception under the debugger now shows |
| 391 | the correct traceback, with IDLE internal levels pruned out. |
| 392 | |
| 393 | - If an exception occurs entirely in IDLE, don't prune the IDLE internal |
| 394 | modules from the traceback displayed. |
| 395 | |
| 396 | - Class Browser and Path Browser now use Alt-Key-2 for vertical zoom. |
| 397 | |
| 398 | - IDLE icons will now install correctly even when setup.py is run from the |
| 399 | build directory |
| 400 | |
| 401 | - Class Browser now compatible with Python2.3 version of pyclbr.py |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 2cb5402 | 2002-12-31 18:12:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 402 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ec186b | 2003-01-17 04:04:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 403 | - Left cursor move in presence of selected text now moves from left end |
| 404 | of the selection. |
| 405 | |
| 406 | - Add Meta keybindings to "IDLE Classic Windows" to handle reversed |
| 407 | Alt/Meta on some Linux distros. |
| 408 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 8e92bf7 | 2003-01-14 22:03:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 409 | - Change default: IDLE now starts with Python Shell. |
| 410 | |
| 411 | - Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list. |
| 412 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 413 | - Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 8e92bf7 | 2003-01-14 22:03:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 414 | Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is |
| 415 | validated, as before.) |
| 416 | |
| 417 | - Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 418 | order entered. Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option' |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 8e92bf7 | 2003-01-14 22:03:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 419 | number. |
| 420 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 421 | - Add Browse button to New Help Source dialog. Arrange to start in |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 8e92bf7 | 2003-01-14 22:03:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 422 | Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory. |
| 423 | |
| 424 | - Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in |
| 425 | an Extra Help cascade menu. Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional |
| 426 | Help Sources come last. Update help.txt appropriately. |
| 427 | |
| 428 | - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py and configDialog.py |
| 429 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 430 | - Uniform capitalization in General tab of ConfigDialog, update the doc string. |
| 431 | |
| 432 | - Fix bug in ConfigDialog where SaveAllChangedConfig() was unexpectedly |
| 433 | deleting Additional Help Sources from the user's config file. |
| 434 | |
| 435 | - Make configHelpSourceEdit OK button the default and bind <Return> |
| 436 | |
| 437 | - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configHelpSourceEdit: error dialogs not attached |
| 438 | to parents. |
| 439 | |
| 440 | - Use os.startfile() to open both Additional Help and Python Help on the |
| 441 | Windows platform. The application associated with the file type will act as |
| 442 | the viewer. Windows help files (.chm) are now supported via the |
| 443 | Settings/General/Additional Help facility. |
| 444 | |
| 445 | - If Python Help files are installed locally on Linux, use them instead of |
| 446 | accessing python.org. |
| 447 | |
| 448 | - Make the methods for finding the Python help docs more robust, and make |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 449 | them work in the installed configuration, also. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 450 | |
| 451 | - On the Save Before Run dialog, make the OK button the default. One |
| 452 | less mouse action! |
| 453 | |
| 454 | - Add a method: EditorWindow.get_geometry() for future use in implementing |
| 455 | window location persistence. |
| 456 | |
| 457 | - Removed the "Help/Advice" menu entry. Thanks, David! We'll remember! |
| 458 | |
| 459 | - Change the "Classic Windows" theme's paste key to be <ctrl-v>. |
| 460 | |
| 461 | - Rearrange the Shell menu to put Stack Viewer entries adjacent. |
| 462 | |
| 463 | - Add the ability to restart the subprocess interpreter from the shell window; |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 7e17289 | 2003-01-27 02:40:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 464 | add an associated menu entry "Shell/Restart" with binding Control-F6. Update |
| 465 | IDLE help. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 466 | |
| 467 | - Upon a restart, annotate the shell window with a "restart boundary". Add a |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 7e17289 | 2003-01-27 02:40:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 468 | shell window menu "Shell/View Restart" with binding F6 to jump to the most |
| 469 | recent restart boundary. |

Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 472 | |
| 473 | - Remove incorrect comment in setup.py: IDLEfork is now installed as a package. |
| 474 | |
| 475 | - Add INSTALL.txt, HISTORY.txt, NEWS.txt to installed configuration. |
| 476 | |
| 477 | - In installer text, fix reference to Visual Python, should be VPython. |
| 478 | Properly credit David Scherer. |
| 479 | |
| 480 | - Modified idle, idle.py, idle.pyw to improve exception handling. |

Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 488 | - First release of major new functionality. For further details refer to |
| 489 | Idle-dev and/or the Sourceforge CVS. |
Steven M. Gava | d39993e | 2001-07-20 01:36:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 490 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 491 | - Adapted to the Mac platform. |

Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 493 | - Overhauled the IDLE startup options and revised the idle -h help message, |
| 494 | which provides details of command line usage. |
Steven M. Gava | d39993e | 2001-07-20 01:36:49 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 495 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 496 | - Multiple bug fixes and usability enhancements. |
| 497 | |
| 498 | - Introduced the new RPC implementation, which includes a debugger. The output |
| 499 | of user code is to the shell, and the shell may be used to inspect the |
| 500 | environment after the run has finished. (In version 0.8.1 the shell |
| 501 | environment was separate from the environment of the user code.) |
| 502 | |
| 503 | - Introduced the configuration GUI and a new About dialog. |
| 504 | |
| 505 | - Removed David Scherer's Remote Procedure Call code and replaced with Guido |
| 506 | van Rossum's. GvR code has support for the IDLE debugger and uses the shell |
| 507 | to inspect the environment of code Run from an Edit window. Files removed: |
| 508 | ExecBinding.py, loader.py, protocol.py, Remote.py, spawn.py |
