| Kurt B. Kaiser | acdef85 | 2005-01-31 03:34:26 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 242 | - Removed ability to configure tabs indent from Options dialog.  This 'feature' | 
 | 243 |   has never worked and no one has complained.  It is still possible to set a | 
 | 244 |   default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on | 
 | 245 |   tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will | 
 | 246 |   encourage indentation via spaces. | 
 | 247 |  | 
 | 248 | - Enable setting the indentation width using the Options dialog. | 
 | 249 |   Bug # 783877 | 
 | 250 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 3069dbb | 2005-01-28 00:16:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 251 | - Add keybindings for del-word-left and del-word-right. | 
 | 252 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 6af4498 | 2005-01-19 00:22:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 253 | - Discourage using an indent width other than 8 when using tabs to indent | 
 | 254 |   Python code. | 
 | 255 |  | 
 | 256 | - Restore use of EditorWindow.set_indentation_params(), was dead code since | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 3069dbb | 2005-01-28 00:16:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 257 |   Autoindent was merged into EditorWindow.  This allows IDLE to conform to the | 
 | 258 |   indentation width of a loaded file.  (But it still will not switch to tabs | 
 | 259 |   even if the file uses tabs.)  Any change in indent width is local to that | 
 | 260 |   window. |

 | 301 | - When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was | 
 | 302 |   introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how | 
 | 303 |   far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width | 
 | 304 |   to the reformat width.  This has been repaired, and the reformat | 
 | 305 |   width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines. |

| Kurt B. Kaiser | 76bcb5c | 2003-06-14 02:51:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 445 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | c714d45 | 2003-11-24 03:23:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 446 | - Extend AboutDialog.ViewFile() to support file encodings.  Make the CREDITS | 
 | 447 |   file Latin-1. | 
 | 448 |  | 
 | 449 | - Updated the About dialog to reflect re-integration into Python.  Provide | 
 | 450 |   buttons to display Python's NEWS, License, and Credits, plus additional | 
 | 451 |   buttons for IDLE's README and NEWS. | 
 | 452 |  | 
 | 453 | - TextViewer() now has a third parameter which allows inserting text into the | 
 | 454 |   viewer instead of reading from a file. | 
 | 455 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 76bcb5c | 2003-06-14 02:51:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 456 | - (Created the .../Lib/idlelib directory in the Python CVS, which is a clone of | 
 | 457 |   IDLEfork modified to install in the Python environment.  The code in the | 
 | 458 |   interrupt module has been moved to thread.interrupt_main(). ) | 
 | 459 |  | 
 | 460 | - Printing the Shell window was failing if it was not saved first SF 748975 | 
 | 461 |  | 
 | 462 | - When using the Search in Files dialog, if the user had a selection | 
 | 463 |   highlighted in his Editor window, insert it into the dialog search field. | 
 | 464 |  | 
 | 465 | - The Python Shell entry was disappearing from the Windows menu. | 
 | 466 |  | 
 | 467 | - Update the Windows file list when a file name change occurs | 
 | 468 |  | 
 | 469 | - Change to File / Open Module: always pop up the dialog, using the current | 
 | 470 |   selection as the default value.  This is easier to use habitually. | 
 | 471 |  | 
 | 472 | - Avoided a problem with starting the subprocess when 'localhost' doesn't | 
 | 473 |   resolve to the user's loopback interface.  SF 747772 | 
 | 474 |  | 
 | 475 | - Fixed an issue with highlighted errors never de-colorizing.  SF 747677.  Also | 
 | 476 |   improved notification of Tabnanny Token Error. | 
 | 477 |  | 
 | 478 | - File / New will by default save in the directory of the Edit window from | 
 | 479 |   which it was initiated.  SF 748973 Guido van Rossum patch. |

| Kurt B. Kaiser | 4d5bc60 | 2004-06-06 01:29:22 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 483 | ============================= | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 484 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 76bcb5c | 2003-06-14 02:51:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 485 | *Release date: 02-Jun-2003* | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | a00050f | 2003-05-08 20:26:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 486 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 487 | - The current working directory of the execution environment (and shell | 
| Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 488 |   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] | 489 |  | 
 | 490 | - Added the delete-exitfunc option to config-main.def.  (This option is not | 
 | 491 |   included in the Options dialog.)  Setting this to True (the default) will | 
 | 492 |   cause IDLE to not run sys.exitfunc/atexit when the subprocess exits. | 
 | 493 |  | 
 | 494 | - IDLE now preserves the line ending codes when editing a file produced on | 
 | 495 |   a different platform. SF 661759,  SF 538584 | 
 | 496 |  | 
 | 497 | - Reduced default editor font size to 10 point and increased window height | 
 | 498 |   to provide a better initial impression on Windows. | 
 | 499 |  | 
 | 500 | - Options / Fonts/Tabs / Set Base Editor Font: List box was not highlighting | 
 | 501 |   the default font when first installed on Windows.  SF 661676 | 
 | 502 |  | 
 | 503 | - Added Autosave feature: when user runs code from edit window, if the file | 
 | 504 |   has been modified IDLE will silently save it if Autosave is enabled.  The | 
 | 505 |   option is set in the Options dialog, and the default is to prompt the | 
 | 506 |   user to save the file.   SF 661318 Bruce Sherwood patch. | 
 | 507 |  | 
 | 508 | - Improved the RESTART annotation in the shell window when the user restarts | 
 | 509 |   the shell while it is generating output.  Also improved annotation when user | 
 | 510 |   repeatedly hammers the Ctrl-F6 restart. | 
 | 511 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | a80d57c | 2003-05-17 03:15:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 512 | - Allow IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory | 
 | 513 |   SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up" - Raphael | 
 | 514 |  | 
 | 515 | - When a module is run from an EditorWindow: if its directory is not in | 
 | 516 |   sys.path, prepend it.  This allows the module to import other modules in | 
 | 517 |   the same directory.  Do the same for a script run from the command line. | 
 | 518 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 519 | - Correctly restart the subprocess if it is running user code and the user | 
 | 520 |   attempts to run some other module or restarts the shell.  Do the same if | 
 | 521 |   the link is broken and it is possible to restart the subprocess and re- | 
 | 522 |   connect to the GUI.   SF RFE 661321. | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 523 |  | 
 | 524 | - Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the | 
 | 525 |   command line. | 
 | 526 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | a80d57c | 2003-05-17 03:15:48 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 527 | - Added a -n command line switch to start IDLE without the subprocess. | 
 | 528 |   Removed the Shell menu when running in that mode.  Updated help messages. | 
 | 529 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 530 | - 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] | 531 |   using the subprocess. | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 532 |  | 
 | 533 | - Restore the ability to run without the subprocess.  This can be important for | 
 | 534 |   some platforms or configurations.  (Running without the subprocess allows the | 
 | 535 |   debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be | 
 | 536 |   desirable, depending on your point of view.  In addition, the traditional | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 537 |   reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.)  This is | 
 | 538 |   helpful for developing IDLE using IDLE, because one instance can be used to | 
 | 539 |   edit the code and a separate instance run to test changes.  (Multiple | 
 | 540 |   concurrent IDLE instances with subprocesses is a future feature) | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 7f38ec0 | 2003-05-15 03:19:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 541 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 73414a2 | 2003-05-12 03:04:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 542 | - Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII | 
 | 543 |   characters and no source encoding is specified.  Done by adding a dialog | 
 | 544 |   'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry | 
 | 545 |   widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically. | 
 | 546 |   Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three | 
 | 547 |   possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show | 
 | 548 |   this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files | 
 | 549 |   with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that | 
 | 550 |   files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the | 
 | 551 |   source contains characters outside the locale's charset.  SF 710733 - Loewis | 
 | 552 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | a00050f | 2003-05-08 20:26:55 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 553 | - Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various | 
 | 554 |   calls to signal.signal(). | 
 | 555 |  | 
| Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 556 | - Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 73414a2 | 2003-05-12 03:04:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 557 |   loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension.  User code runs | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ddef75 | 2003-06-01 01:11:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 558 |   in MainThread, while the RPCServer is handled by SockThread.  This is | 
 | 559 |   necessary because Windows doesn't support signals. | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 560 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 94afd30 | 2003-03-12 20:52:00 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 561 | - Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread | 
 | 562 |   to raise a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread. | 
 | 563 |  | 
 | 564 | - Attempting to save the shell raised an error related to saving | 
 | 565 |   breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell | 
 | 566 |  | 
 | 567 | - Provide a correct message when 'exit' or 'quit' are entered at the | 
 | 568 |   IDLE command prompt  SF 695861 | 
 | 569 |  | 
 | 570 | - Eliminate extra blank line in shell output caused by not flushing | 
 | 571 |   stdout when user code ends with an unterminated print. SF 695861 | 
 | 572 |  | 
 | 573 | - Moved responsibility for exception formatting (i.e. pruning IDLE internal | 
 | 574 |   calls) out of rpc.py into the client and server. | 
 | 575 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 576 | - Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O | 
 | 577 |  | 
| Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 578 | - Handle subprocess interrupt with an RPC message. | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 579 |  | 
 | 580 | - Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that) | 
 | 581 |  | 
| Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 582 | - Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 003091c | 2003-02-17 18:57:16 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 583 |   exception formatting to the subprocess. |

 | 593 |  | 
 | 594 | - Improved formatting in IDLE Help. | 
 | 595 |  | 
 | 596 | - Run menu: Replace "Run Script" with "Run Module". | 
 | 597 |  | 
 | 598 | - Code encountering an unhandled exception under the debugger now shows | 
 | 599 |   the correct traceback, with IDLE internal levels pruned out. | 
 | 600 |  | 
 | 601 | - If an exception occurs entirely in IDLE, don't prune the IDLE internal | 
 | 602 |   modules from the traceback displayed. | 
 | 603 |  | 
 | 604 | - Class Browser and Path Browser now use Alt-Key-2 for vertical zoom. | 
 | 605 |  | 
 | 606 | - IDLE icons will now install correctly even when setup.py is run from the | 
 | 607 |   build directory | 
 | 608 |  | 
 | 609 | - Class Browser now compatible with Python2.3 version of pyclbr.py | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 2cb5402 | 2002-12-31 18:12:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 610 |  | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 5ec186b | 2003-01-17 04:04:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 611 | - Left cursor move in presence of selected text now moves from left end | 
 | 612 |   of the selection. | 
 | 613 |  |

 | 618 |  | 
 | 619 | - Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list. | 
 | 620 |  | 
| Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 621 | - 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] | 622 |   Help File Path begins with //http or www.  (Otherwise local path is | 
 | 623 |   validated, as before.) | 
 | 624 |  | 
 | 625 | - 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] | 626 |   order entered.  Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option' | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | 8e92bf7 | 2003-01-14 22:03:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 627 |   number. | 
 | 628 |  | 
| Tim Peters | 16e3cf5 | 2004-10-24 23:45:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 629 | - 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] | 630 |   Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory. | 
 | 631 |  | 
 | 632 | - Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in | 
 | 633 |   an Extra Help cascade menu.  Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional | 
 | 634 |   Help Sources come last.  Update help.txt appropriately. | 
 | 635 |  | 
 | 636 | - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py  and configDialog.py |

 | 647 |  | 
 | 648 | - Use os.startfile() to open both Additional Help and Python Help on the | 
 | 649 |   Windows platform.  The application associated with the file type will act as | 
 | 650 |   the viewer.  Windows help files (.chm) are now supported via the | 
 | 651 |   Settings/General/Additional Help facility. | 
 | 652 |  | 
 | 653 | - If Python Help files are installed locally on Linux, use them instead of | 
 | 654 |   accessing python.org. | 
 | 655 |  | 
 | 656 | - 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] | 657 |   them work in the installed configuration, also. |

 | 659 | - On the Save Before Run dialog, make the OK button the default.  One | 
 | 660 |   less mouse action! | 
 | 661 |  |

 | 663 |   window location persistence. | 
 | 664 |  | 
 | 665 | - Removed the "Help/Advice" menu entry.  Thanks, David!  We'll remember! | 
 | 666 |  | 
 | 667 | - Change the "Classic Windows" theme's paste key to be <ctrl-v>. | 
 | 668 |  | 
 | 669 | - Rearrange the Shell menu to put Stack Viewer entries adjacent. | 
 | 670 |  | 
 | 671 | - 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] | 672 |   add an associated menu entry "Shell/Restart" with binding Control-F6.  Update | 
 | 673 |   IDLE help. | 
| Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 674 |  | 
 | 675 | - 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] | 676 |   shell window menu "Shell/View Restart" with binding F6 to jump to the most | 
 | 677 |   recent restart boundary. |

| Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 680 |  | 
 | 681 | - Remove incorrect comment in setup.py: IDLEfork is now installed as a package. | 
 | 682 |  | 
 | 683 | - Add INSTALL.txt, HISTORY.txt, NEWS.txt to installed configuration. | 
 | 684 |  | 
 | 685 | - In installer text, fix reference to Visual Python, should be VPython. | 
 | 686 |   Properly credit David Scherer. | 
 | 687 |  | 
 | 688 | - Modified idle, idle.py, idle.pyw to improve exception handling. |

| Kurt B. Kaiser | a7b804f | 2003-01-10 21:27:23 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 704 | - Multiple bug fixes and usability enhancements. | 
 | 705 |  | 
 | 706 | - Introduced the new RPC implementation, which includes a debugger.  The output | 
 | 707 |   of user code is to the shell, and the shell may be used to inspect the | 
 | 708 |   environment after the run has finished.  (In version 0.8.1 the shell | 
 | 709 |   environment was separate from the environment of the user code.) | 
 | 710 |  | 
 | 711 | - Introduced the configuration GUI and a new About dialog. | 
 | 712 |  | 
 | 713 | - Removed David Scherer's Remote Procedure Call code and replaced with Guido | 
 | 714 |   van Rossum's.  GvR code has support for the IDLE debugger and uses the shell | 
 | 715 |   to inspect the environment of code Run from an Edit window.  Files removed: | 
 | 716 |   ExecBinding.py, loader.py, protocol.py, Remote.py, spawn.py |
