| 218 | has never worked and no one has complained. It is still possible to set a |
| 219 | default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on |
| 220 | tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will |
| 221 | encourage indentation via spaces. |
| 222 | |
| 223 | - Enable setting the indentation width using the Options dialog. |

Kurt B. Kaiser | 6af4498 | 2005-01-19 00:22:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 228 | - Discourage using an indent width other than 8 when using tabs to indent |
| 229 | Python code. |
| 230 | |
| 231 | - Restore use of EditorWindow.set_indentation_params(), was dead code since |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 3069dbb | 2005-01-28 00:16:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 232 | Autoindent was merged into EditorWindow. This allows IDLE to conform to the |
| 233 | indentation width of a loaded file. (But it still will not switch to tabs |
| 234 | even if the file uses tabs.) Any change in indent width is local to that |
| 235 | window. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 6af4498 | 2005-01-19 00:22:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 236 | |

Kurt B. Kaiser | 3069dbb | 2005-01-28 00:16:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 242 | - Improve error handling when .idlerc can't be created (warn and exit). |
| 243 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 70f05c5 | 2006-03-19 20:40:05 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 244 | - The GUI was hanging if the shell window was closed while a raw_input() |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5c3df35 | 2004-12-23 04:20:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 245 | was pending. Restored the quit() of the readline() mainloop(). |

Kurt B. Kaiser | 03562a5 | 2004-11-16 21:31:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 264 | - Saving a Keyset w/o making changes (by using the "Save as New Custom Key Set" |

| 276 | - When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was |
| 277 | introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how |
| 278 | far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width |
| 279 | to the reformat width. This has been repaired, and the reformat |
| 280 | width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines. |

Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 462 | - The current working directory of the execution environment (and shell |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 463 | 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] | 464 | |
| 465 | - Added the delete-exitfunc option to config-main.def. (This option is not |
| 466 | included in the Options dialog.) Setting this to True (the default) will |
| 467 | cause IDLE to not run sys.exitfunc/atexit when the subprocess exits. |
| 468 | |
| 469 | - IDLE now preserves the line ending codes when editing a file produced on |
| 470 | a different platform. SF 661759, SF 538584 |
| 471 | |
| 472 | - Reduced default editor font size to 10 point and increased window height |
| 473 | to provide a better initial impression on Windows. |
| 474 | |
| 475 | - Options / Fonts/Tabs / Set Base Editor Font: List box was not highlighting |
| 476 | the default font when first installed on Windows. SF 661676 |
| 477 | |
| 478 | - Added Autosave feature: when user runs code from edit window, if the file |
| 479 | has been modified IDLE will silently save it if Autosave is enabled. The |
| 480 | option is set in the Options dialog, and the default is to prompt the |
| 481 | user to save the file. SF 661318 Bruce Sherwood patch. |
| 482 | |
| 483 | - Improved the RESTART annotation in the shell window when the user restarts |
| 484 | the shell while it is generating output. Also improved annotation when user |
| 485 | repeatedly hammers the Ctrl-F6 restart. |
| 486 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a80d57c | 2003-05-17 03:15:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 487 | - Allow IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory |
| 488 | SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up" - Raphael |
| 489 | |
| 490 | - When a module is run from an EditorWindow: if its directory is not in |
| 491 | sys.path, prepend it. This allows the module to import other modules in |
| 492 | the same directory. Do the same for a script run from the command line. |
| 493 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 494 | - Correctly restart the subprocess if it is running user code and the user |
| 495 | attempts to run some other module or restarts the shell. Do the same if |
| 496 | the link is broken and it is possible to restart the subprocess and re- |

Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 498 | |

Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 505 | - 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] | 506 | using the subprocess. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 507 | |
| 508 | - Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for |
| 509 | some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the |
| 510 | debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be |
| 511 | desirable, depending on your point of view. In addition, the traditional |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 512 | reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.) This is |
| 513 | helpful for developing IDLE using IDLE, because one instance can be used to |
| 514 | edit the code and a separate instance run to test changes. (Multiple |
| 515 | concurrent IDLE instances with subprocesses is a future feature) |

Kurt B. Kaiser | 73414a2 | 2003-05-12 03:04:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 517 | - Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII |
| 518 | characters and no source encoding is specified. Done by adding a dialog |
| 519 | 'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry |
| 520 | widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically. |
| 521 | Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three |
| 522 | possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show |
| 523 | this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files |
| 524 | with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that |
| 525 | files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the |
| 526 | source contains characters outside the locale's charset. SF 710733 - Loewis |

Kurt B. Kaiser | a00050f | 2003-05-08 20:26:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 528 | - Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various |
| 529 | calls to signal.signal(). |
| 530 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 531 | - Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 73414a2 | 2003-05-12 03:04:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 532 | loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension. User code runs |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 533 | in MainThread, while the RPCServer is handled by SockThread. This is |
| 534 | necessary because Windows doesn't support signals. |

Kurt B. Kaiser | 94afd30 | 2003-03-12 20:52:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 536 | - Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread |
| 537 | to raise a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread. |
| 538 | |
| 539 | - Attempting to save the shell raised an error related to saving |
| 540 | breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell |
| 541 | |
| 542 | - Provide a correct message when 'exit' or 'quit' are entered at the |
| 543 | IDLE command prompt SF 695861 |
| 544 | |
| 545 | - Eliminate extra blank line in shell output caused by not flushing |
| 546 | stdout when user code ends with an unterminated print. SF 695861 |
| 547 | |
| 548 | - Moved responsibility for exception formatting (i.e. pruning IDLE internal |
| 549 | calls) out of rpc.py into the client and server. |
| 550 | |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 551 | - Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O |
| 552 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 553 | - Handle subprocess interrupt with an RPC message. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 554 | |
| 555 | - Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that) |
| 556 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 557 | - Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the |

| 572 | |
| 573 | - Code encountering an unhandled exception under the debugger now shows |
| 574 | the correct traceback, with IDLE internal levels pruned out. |
| 575 | |
| 576 | - If an exception occurs entirely in IDLE, don't prune the IDLE internal |
| 577 | modules from the traceback displayed. |
| 578 | |
| 579 | - Class Browser and Path Browser now use Alt-Key-2 for vertical zoom. |
| 580 | |

| 593 | |
| 594 | - Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list. |
| 595 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 596 | - 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] | 597 | Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is |
| 598 | validated, as before.) |
| 599 | |
| 600 | - 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] | 601 | order entered. Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option' |
Kurt B. Kaiser | 8e92bf7 | 2003-01-14 22:03:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 602 | number. |
| 603 | |
Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 604 | - 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] | 605 | Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory. |
| 606 | |
| 607 | - Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in |
| 608 | an Extra Help cascade menu. Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional |
| 609 | Help Sources come last. Update help.txt appropriately. |
| 610 | |
| 611 | - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py and configDialog.py |
| 612 | |

| 621 | to parents. |
| 622 | |
| 623 | - Use os.startfile() to open both Additional Help and Python Help on the |
| 624 | Windows platform. The application associated with the file type will act as |
| 625 | the viewer. Windows help files (.chm) are now supported via the |
| 626 | Settings/General/Additional Help facility. |
| 627 | |
| 628 | - If Python Help files are installed locally on Linux, use them instead of |
| 629 | accessing python.org. |
| 630 | |
| 631 | - 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] | 632 | them work in the installed configuration, also. |

| 640 | - Removed the "Help/Advice" menu entry. Thanks, David! We'll remember! |
| 641 | |
| 642 | - Change the "Classic Windows" theme's paste key to be <ctrl-v>. |

| 648 | IDLE help. |
Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 649 | |
| 650 | - 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] | 651 | shell window menu "Shell/View Restart" with binding F6 to jump to the most |
| 652 | recent restart boundary. |

| 656 | - Remove incorrect comment in setup.py: IDLEfork is now installed as a package. |
| 657 | |
| 658 | - Add INSTALL.txt, HISTORY.txt, NEWS.txt to installed configuration. |
| 659 | |
| 660 | - In installer text, fix reference to Visual Python, should be VPython. |
| 661 | Properly credit David Scherer. |
| 662 | |
| 663 | - Modified idle, idle.py, idle.pyw to improve exception handling. |

Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 679 | - Multiple bug fixes and usability enhancements. |
| 680 | |
| 681 | - Introduced the new RPC implementation, which includes a debugger. The output |
| 682 | of user code is to the shell, and the shell may be used to inspect the |
| 683 | environment after the run has finished. (In version 0.8.1 the shell |
| 684 | environment was separate from the environment of the user code.) |
| 685 | |
| 686 | - Introduced the configuration GUI and a new About dialog. |
| 687 | |
| 688 | - Removed David Scherer's Remote Procedure Call code and replaced with Guido |
| 689 | van Rossum's. GvR code has support for the IDLE debugger and uses the shell |
| 690 | to inspect the environment of code Run from an Edit window. Files removed: |
| 691 | ExecBinding.py, loader.py, protocol.py, Remote.py, spawn.py |
