| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| New in IDLE 0.5 (2/15/2000) |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| Tons of stuff, much of it contributed by Tim Peters and Mark Hammond: |
| |
| - Status bar, displaying current line/column (Moshe Zadka). |
| |
| - Better stack viewer, using tree widget. (XXX Only used by Stack |
| Viewer menu, not by the debugger.) |
| |
| - Format paragraph now recognizes Python block comments and reformats |
| them correctly (MH) |
| |
| - New version of pyclbr.py parses top-level functions and understands |
| much more of Python's syntax; this is reflected in the class and path |
| browsers (TP) |
| |
| - Much better auto-indent; knows how to indent the insides of |
| multi-line statements (TP) |
| |
| - Call tip window pops up when you type the name of a known function |
| followed by an open parenthesis. Hit ESC or click elsewhere in the |
| window to close the tip window (MH) |
| |
| - Comment out region now inserts ## to make it stand out more (TP) |
| |
| - New path and class browsers based on a tree widget that looks |
| familiar to Windows users |
| |
| - Reworked script running commands to be more intuitive: I/O now |
| always goes to the *Python Shell* window, and raw_input() works |
| correctly. You use F5 to import/reload a module: this adds the module |
| name to the __main__ namespace. You use Control-F5 to run a script: |
| this runs the script *in* the __main__ namespace. The latter also |
| sets sys.argv[] to the script name |
| |
| New in IDLE 0.4 (4/7/99) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Most important change: a new menu entry "File -> Path browser", shows |
| a 4-column hierarchical browser which lets you browse sys.path, |
| directories, modules, and classes. Yes, it's a superset of the Class |
| browser menu entry. There's also a new internal module, |
| MultiScrolledLists.py, which provides the framework for this dialog. |
| |
| New in IDLE 0.3 (2/17/99) |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| Most important changes: |
| |
| - Enabled support for running a module, with or without the debugger. |
| Output goes to a new window. Pressing F5 in a module is effectively a |
| reload of that module; Control-F5 loads it under the debugger. |
| |
| - Re-enable tearing off the Windows menu, and make a torn-off Windows |
| menu update itself whenever a window is opened or closed. |
| |
| - Menu items can now be have a checkbox (when the menu label starts |
| with "!"); use this for the Debugger and "Auto-open stack viewer" |
| (was: JIT stack viewer) menu items. |
| |
| - Added a Quit button to the Debugger API. |
| |
| - The current directory is explicitly inserted into sys.path. |
| |
| - Fix the debugger (when using Python 1.5.2b2) to use canonical |
| filenames for breakpoints, so these actually work. (There's still a |
| lot of work to be done to the management of breakpoints in the |
| debugger though.) |
| |
| - Closing a window that is still colorizing now actually works. |
| |
| - Allow dragging of the separator between the two list boxes in the |
| class browser. |
| |
| - Bind ESC to "close window" of the debugger, stack viewer and class |
| browser. It removes the selection highlighting in regular text |
| windows. (These are standard Windows conventions.) |
| |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| New in IDLE 0.2 (1/8/99) |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Lots of changes; here are the highlights: |
| |
| General: |
| |
| - You can now write and configure your own IDLE extension modules; see |
| extend.txt. |
| |
| |
| File menu: |
| |
| The command to open the Python shell window is now in the File menu. |
| |
| |
| Edit menu: |
| |
| New Find dialog with more options; replace dialog; find in files dialog. |
| |
| Commands to tabify or untabify a region. |
| |
| Command to format a paragraph. |
| |
| |
| Debug menu: |
| |
| JIT (Just-In-Time) stack viewer toggle -- if set, the stack viewer |
| automaticall pops up when you get a traceback. |
| |
| Windows menu: |
| |
| Zoom height -- make the window full height. |
| |
| |
| Help menu: |
| |
| The help text now show up in a regular window so you can search and |
| even edit it if you like. |
| |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| IDLE 0.1 was distributed with the Python 1.5.2b1 release on 12/22/98. |
