+
+ * NEWS.txt: Notice status bar and stack viewer.
+
+ * EditorWindow.py: Support for Moshe's status bar.
+
+ * MultiStatusBar.py: Status bar code -- by Moshe Zadka.
+
+ * OldStackViewer.py:
+ Adding the old stack viewer implementation back, for the debugger.
+
+ * StackViewer.py: New stack viewer, uses a tree widget.
+ (XXX: the debugger doesn't yet use this.)
+
+ * WindowList.py:
+ Correct a typo and remove an unqualified except that was hiding the error.
+
+ * ClassBrowser.py: Add an XXX comment about the ClassBrowser AIP.
+
+ * ChangeLog: Updated change log.
+
+ * NEWS.txt: News update. Probably incomplete; what else is new?
+
+ * README.txt:
+ Updated for pending IDLE 0.5 release (still very rough -- just getting
+ it out in a more convenient format than CVS).
+
+ * TODO.txt: Tiny addition.
+
+Thu Sep 9 14:16:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * TODO.txt: A few new TODO entries.
+
+Thu Aug 26 23:06:22 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * Bindings.py: Add Python Documentation entry to Help menu.
+
+ * EditorWindow.py:
+ Find the help.txt file relative to __file__ or ".", not in sys.path.
+ (Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)
+
+ Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing
+ to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its
+ location can't be predicted). Windows solution TBD.
+
+Wed Aug 11 14:55:43 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * TreeWidget.py:
+ Moshe noticed an inconsistency in his comment, so I'm rephrasing it to
+ be clearer.
+
+ * TreeWidget.py:
+ Patch inspired by Moshe Zadka to search for the Icons directory in the
+ same directory as __file__, rather than searching for it along sys.path.
+ This works better when idle is a package.
+
+Thu Jul 15 13:11:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * TODO.txt: New wishes.
+
+Sat Jul 10 13:17:35 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * IdlePrefs.py:
+ Make the color for stderr red (i.e. the standard warning/danger/stop
+ color) rather than green. Suggested by Sam Schulenburg.
+
+Fri Jun 25 17:26:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * PyShell.py: Close debugger when closing. This may break a cycle.
+
+ * Debugger.py: Break cycle on close.
+
+ * ClassBrowser.py: Destroy the tree when closing.
+
+ * TreeWidget.py: Add destroy() method to recursively destroy a tree.
+
+ * PyShell.py: Extend _close() to break cycles.
+ Break some other cycles too (and destroy the root when done).
+
+ * EditorWindow.py:
+ Add _close() method that does the actual cleanup (close() asks the
+ user what they want first if there's unsaved stuff, and may cancel).
+ It closes more than before.
+
+ Add unload_extensions() method to unload all extensions; called from
+ _close(). It calls an extension's close() method if it has one.
+
+ * Percolator.py: Add close() method that breaks cycles.
+
+ * WidgetRedirector.py: Add unregister() method.
+ Unregister everything at closing.
+ Don't call close() in __del__, rely on explicit call to close().
+
+ * IOBinding.py, FormatParagraph.py, CallTips.py:
+ Add close() method that breaks a cycle.
+
+Fri Jun 11 15:03:00 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py:
+ Tim Peters smart.patch:
+
+ EditorWindow.py:
+
+ + Added get_tabwidth & set_tabwidth "virtual text" methods, that get/set the
+ widget's view of what a tab means.
+
+ + Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT here from AutoIndent.
+
+ + Renamed Mark's get_selection_index to get_selection_indices (sorry, Mark,
+ but the name was plain wrong <wink>).
+
+ FormatParagraph.py: renamed use of get_selection_index.
+
+ AutoIndent.py:
+
+ + Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT to EditorWindow.
+
+ + Rewrote set_indentation_params to use new VTW get/set_tabwidth methods.
+
+ + Changed smart_backspace_event to delete whitespace back to closest
+ preceding virtual tab stop or real character (note that this may require
+ inserting characters if backspacing over a tab!).
+
+ + Nuked almost references to the selection tag, in favor of using
+ get_selection_indices. The sole exception is in set_region, for which no
+ "set_selection" abstraction has yet been agreed upon.
+
+ + Had too much fun using the spiffy new features of the format-paragraph
+ cmd.
+
+Thu Jun 10 17:48:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * FormatParagraph.py:
+ Code by Mark Hammond to format paragraphs embedded in comments.
+ Read the comments (which I reformatted using the new feature :-)
+ for some limitations.
+
+ * EditorWindow.py:
+ Added abstraction get_selection_index() (Mark Hammond). Also
+ reformatted some comment blocks to show off a cool feature I'm about
+ to check in next.
+
+ * ClassBrowser.py:
+ Adapt to the new pyclbr's support of listing top-level functions. If
+ this functionality is not present (e.g. when used with a vintage
+ Python 1.5.2 installation) top-level functions are not listed.
+
+ (Hmm... Any distribution of IDLE 0.5 should probably include a copy
+ of the new pyclbr.py!)
+
+ * AutoIndent.py:
+ Fix off-by-one error in Tim's recent change to comment_region(): the
+ list of lines returned by get_region() contains an empty line at the
+ end representing the start of the next line, and this shouldn't be
+ commented out!
+
+ * CallTips.py:
+ Mark Hammond writes: Here is another change that allows it to work for
+ class creation - tries to locate an __init__ function. Also updated
+ the test code to reflect your new "***" change.
+
+ * CallTipWindow.py:
+ Mark Hammond writes: Tim's suggestion of copying the font for the
+ CallTipWindow from the text control makes sense, and actually makes
+ the control look better IMO.
+
+Wed Jun 9 20:34:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * CallTips.py:
+ Append "..." if the appropriate flag (for varargs) in co_flags is set.
+ Ditto "***" for kwargs.
+
+Tue Jun 8 13:06:07 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * ReplaceDialog.py:
+ Hmm... Tim didn't turn "replace all" into a single undo block.
+ I think I like it better if it os, so here.
+
+ * ReplaceDialog.py: Tim Peters: made replacement atomic for undo/redo.
+
+ * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters:
+
+ + Set usetabs=1. Editing pyclbr.py was driving me nuts <0.6 wink>.
+ usetabs=1 is the Emacs pymode default too, and thanks to indentwidth !=
+ tabwidth magical usetabs disabling, new files are still created with tabs
+ turned off. The only implication is that if you open a file whose first
+ indent is a single tab, IDLE will now magically use tabs for that file (and
+ set indentwidth to 8). Note that the whole scheme doesn't work right for
+ PythonWin, though, since Windows users typically set tabwidth to 4; Mark
+ probably has to hide the IDLE algorithm from them (which he already knows).
+
+ + Changed comment_region_event to stick "##" in front of every line. The
+ "holes" previously left on blank lines were visually confusing (made it
+ needlessly hard to figure out what to uncomment later).
+
+Mon Jun 7 15:38:40 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * TreeWidget.py, ObjectBrowser.py:
+ Remove unnecessary reference to pyclbr from test() code.
+
+ * PyParse.py: Tim Peters:
+
+ Smarter logic for finding a parse synch point.
+
+ Does a half to a fifth the work in normal cases; don't notice the speedup,
+ but makes more breathing room for other extensions.
+
+ Speeds terrible cases by at least a factor of 10. "Terrible" == e.g. you put
+ """ at the start of Tkinter.py, undo it, zoom to the bottom, and start
+ typing in code. Used to take about 8 seconds for ENTER to respond, now some
+ large fraction of a second. The new code gets indented correctly, despite
+ that it all remains "string colored" until the colorizer catches up (after
+ which, ENTER appears instantaneous again).
+
+Fri Jun 4 19:21:19 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * extend.py: Might as well enable CallTips by default.
+ If there are too many complaints I'll remove it again or fix it.
+
+Thu Jun 3 14:32:16 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyParse.py:
+ New offerings by Tim Peters; he writes:
+
+ IDLE is now the first Python editor in the Universe not confused by my
+ doctest.py <wink>.
+
+ As threatened, this defines IDLE's is_char_in_string function as a
+ method of EditorWindow. You just need to define one similarly in
+ whatever it is you pass as editwin to AutoIndent; looking at the
+ EditorWindow.py part of the patch should make this clear.
+
+ * GrepDialog.py: Enclose pattern in quotes in status message.
+
+ * CallTips.py:
+ Mark Hammond fixed some comments and improved the way the tip text is
+ constructed.
+
+Wed Jun 2 18:18:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * CallTips.py:
+ My fix to Mark's code: restore the universal check on <KeyRelease>.
+ Always cancel on <Key-Escape> or <ButtonPress>.
+
+ * CallTips.py:
+ A version that Mark Hammond posted to the newsgroup. Has some newer
+ stuff for getting the tip. Had to fix the Key-( and Key-) events
+ for Unix. Will have to re-apply my patch for catching KeyRelease and
+ ButtonRelease events.
+
+ * CallTipWindow.py, CallTips.py:
+ Call tips by Mark Hammond (plus tiny fix by me.)
+
+ * IdleHistory.py:
+ Changes by Mark Hammond: (1) support optional output_sep argument to
+ the constructor so he can eliminate the sys.ps2 that PythonWin leaves
+ in the source; (2) remove duplicate history items.
+
+ * AutoIndent.py:
+ Changes by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
+ well: make three dialog routines instance variables.
+
+ * EditorWindow.py:
+ Change by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
+ well: make three dialog routines instance variables.
+
+Tue Jun 1 20:06:44 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * AutoIndent.py: Hah! A fix of my own to Tim's code!
+ Unix bindings for <<toggle-tabs>> and <<change-indentwidth>> were
+ missing, and somehow that meant the events were never generated,
+ even though they were in the menu. The new Unix bindings are now
+ the same as the Windows bindings (M-t and M-u).
+
+ * AutoIndent.py, PyParse.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters again:
+
+ The new version (attached) is fast enough all the time in every real module
+ I have <whew!>. You can make it slow by, e.g., creating an open list with
+ 5,000 90-character identifiers (+ trailing comma) each on its own line, then
+ adding an item to the end -- but that still consumes less than a second on
+ my P5-166. Response time in real code appears instantaneous.
+
+ Fixed some bugs.
+
+ New feature: when hitting ENTER and the cursor is beyond the line's leading
+ indentation, whitespace is removed on both sides of the cursor; before
+ whitespace was removed only on the left; e.g., assuming the cursor is
+ between the comma and the space:
+
+ def something(arg1, arg2):
+ ^ cursor to the left of here, and hit ENTER
+ arg2): # new line used to end up here
+ arg2): # but now lines up the way you expect
+
+ New hack: AutoIndent has grown a context_use_ps1 Boolean config option,
+ defaulting to 0 (false) and set to 1 (only) by PyShell. Reason: handling
+ the fancy stuff requires looking backward for a parsing synch point; ps1
+ lines are the only sensible thing to look for in a shell window, but are a
+ bad thing to look for in a file window (ps1 lines show up in my module
+ docstrings often). PythonWin's shell should set this true too.
+
+ Persistent problem: strings containing def/class can still screw things up
+ completely. No improvement. Simplest workaround is on the user's head, and
+ consists of inserting e.g.
+
+ def _(): pass
+
+ (or any other def/class) after the end of the multiline string that's
+ screwing them up. This is especially irksome because IDLE's syntax coloring
+ is *not* confused, so when this happens the colors don't match the
+ indentation behavior they see.
+
+ * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters again:
+
+ [Tim, after adding some bracket smarts to AutoIndent.py]
+ > ...
+ > What it can't possibly do without reparsing large gobs of text is
+ > suggest a reasonable indent level after you've *closed* a bracket
+ > left open on some previous line.
+ > ...
+
+ The attached can, and actually fast enough to use -- most of the time. The
+ code is tricky beyond belief to achieve that, but it works so far; e.g.,
+
+ return len(string.expandtabs(str[self.stmt_start :
+ ^ indents to caret
+ i],
+ ^ indents to caret
+ self.tabwidth)) + 1
+ ^ indents to caret
+
+ It's about as smart as pymode now, wrt both bracket and backslash
+ continuation rules. It does require reparsing large gobs of text, and if it
+ happens to find something that looks like a "def" or "class" or sys.ps1
+ buried in a multiline string, but didn't suck up enough preceding text to
+ see the start of the string, it's completely hosed. I can't repair that --
+ it's just too slow to reparse from the start of the file all the time.
+
+ AutoIndent has grown a new num_context_lines tuple attribute that controls
+ how far to look back, and-- like other params --this could/should be made
+ user-overridable at startup and per-file on the fly.
+
+ * PyParse.py: New file by Tim Peters:
+
+ One new file in the attached, PyParse.py. The LineStudier (whatever it was
+ called <wink>) class was removed from AutoIndent; PyParse subsumes its
+ functionality.
+
+ * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters keeps revising this module (more to come):
+
+ Removed "New tabwidth" menu binding.
+
+ Added "a tab means how many spaces?" dialog to block tabify and untabify. I
+ think prompting for this is good now: they're usually at-most-once-per-file
+ commands, and IDLE can't let them change tabwidth from the Tk default
+ anymore, so IDLE can no longer presume to have any idea what a tab means.
+
+ Irony: for the purpose of keeping comments aligned via tabs, Tk's
+ non-default approach is much nicer than the Emacs/Notepad/Codewright/vi/etc
+ approach.
+
+ * EditorWindow.py:
+ 1. Catch NameError on import (could be raised by case mismatch on Windows).
+ 2. No longer need to reset pyclbr cache and show watch cursor when calling
+ ClassBrowser -- the ClassBrowser takes care of pyclbr and the TreeWidget
+ takes care of the watch cursor.
+ 3. Reset the focus to the current window after error message about class
+ browser on buffer without filename.
+
+ * Icons/minusnode.gif, Icons/plusnode.gif: Missed a few.
+
+ * ClassBrowser.py, PathBrowser.py: Rewritten based on TreeWidget.py
+
+ * ObjectBrowser.py: Object browser, based on TreeWidget.py.
+
+ * TreeWidget.py: Tree widget done right.
+
+ * ToolTip.py: As yet unused code for tool tips.
+
+ * ScriptBinding.py:
+ Ensure sys.argv[0] is the script name on Run Script.
+
+ * ZoomHeight.py: Move zoom height functionality to separate function.
+
+ * Icons/folder.gif, Icons/openfolder.gif, Icons/python.gif, Icons/tk.gif:
+ A few icons used by ../TreeWidget.py and its callers.
+
+ * AutoIndent.py: New version by Tim Peters improves block opening test.
+
+Fri May 21 04:46:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * Attic/History.py, PyShell.py: Rename History to IdleHistory.
+ Add isatty() to pseudo files.
+
+ * StackViewer.py: Make initial stack viewer wider
+
+ * TODO.txt: New wishes
+
+ * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyShell.py:
+ Much improved autoindent and handling of tabs,
+ by Tim Peters.
+
+Mon May 3 15:49:52 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py, UndoDelegator.py:
+ Tim Peters writes:
+
+ I'm still unsure, but couldn't stand the virtual event trickery so tried a
+ different sin (adding undo_block_start/stop methods to the Text instance in
+ EditorWindow.py). Like it or not, it's efficient and works <wink>. Better
+ idea?
+
+ Give the attached a whirl. Even if you hate the implementation, I think
+ you'll like the results. Think I caught all the "block edit" cmds,
+ including Format Paragraph, plus subtler ones involving smart indents and
+ backspacing.
+
+ * WidgetRedirector.py: Tim Peters writes:
+
+ [W]hile trying to dope out how redirection works, stumbled into two
+ possible glitches. In the first, it doesn't appear to make sense to try to
+ rename a command that's already been destroyed; in the second, the name
+ "previous" doesn't really bring to mind "ignore the previous value" <wink>.
+
+Fri Apr 30 19:39:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * __init__.py: Support for using idle as a package.
+
+ * PathBrowser.py:
+ Avoid listing files more than once (e.g. foomodule.so has two hits:
+ once for foo + module.so, once for foomodule + .so).
+
+Mon Apr 26 22:20:38 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * ChangeLog, ColorDelegator.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters strikes again:
+
+ Ho ho ho -- that's trickier than it sounded! The colorizer is working with
+ "line.col" strings instead of Text marks, and the absolute coordinates of
+ the point of interest can change across the self.update call (voice of
+ baffled experience, when two quick backspaces no longer fooled it, but a
+ backspace followed by a quick ENTER did <wink>).
+
+ Anyway, the attached appears to do the trick. CPU usage goes way up when
+ typing quickly into a long triple-quoted string, but the latency is fine for
+ me (a relatively fast typist on a relatively slow machine). Most of the
+ changes here are left over from reducing the # of vrbl names to help me
+ reason about the logic better; I hope the code is a *little* easier to
+
+Fri Apr 23 14:01:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * EditorWindow.py:
+ Provide full arguments to __import__ so it works in packagized IDLE.
+
+Thu Apr 22 23:20:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * help.txt:
+ Bunch of updates necessary due to recent changes; added docs for File
+ menu, command line and color preferences.
+
+ * Bindings.py: Remove obsolete 'script' menu.
+
+ * TODO.txt: Several wishes fulfilled.
+
+ * OutputWindow.py:
+ Moved classes OnDemandOutputWindow and PseudoFile here,
+ from ScriptBinding.py where they are no longer needed.
+
+ * ScriptBinding.py:
+ Mostly rewritten. Instead of the old Run module and Debug module,
+ there are two new commands:
+
+ Import module (F5) imports or reloads the module and also adds its
+ name to the __main__ namespace. This gets executed in the PyShell
+ window under control of its debug settings.
+
+ Run script (Control-F5) is similar but executes the contents of the
+ file directly in the __main__ namespace.
+
+ * PyShell.py: Nits: document use of $IDLESTARTUP; display idle version
+
+ * idlever.py: New version to celebrate new command line
+
+ * OutputWindow.py: Added flush(), for completeness.
+
+ * PyShell.py:
+ A lot of changes to make the command line more useful. You can now do:
+ idle.py -e file ... -- to edit files
+ idle.py script arg ... -- to run a script
+ idle.py -c cmd arg ... -- to run a command
+ Other options, see also the usage message (also new!) for more details:
+ -d -- enable debugger
+ -s -- run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP
+ -t title -- set Python Shell window's title
+ sys.argv is set accordingly, unless -e is used.
+ sys.path is absolutized, and all relevant paths are inserted into it.
+
+ Other changes:
+ - the environment in which commands are executed is now the
+ __main__ module
+ - explicitly save sys.stdout etc., don't restore from sys.__stdout__
+ - new interpreter methods execsource(), execfile(), stuffsource()
+ - a few small nits
+
+ * TODO.txt:
+ Some more TODO items. Made up my mind about command line args,
+ Run/Import, __main__.
+
+ * ColorDelegator.py:
+ Super-elegant patch by Tim Peters that speeds up colorization
+ dramatically (up to 15 times he claims). Works by reading more than
+ one line at a time, up to 100-line chunks (starting with one line and
+ then doubling up to the limit). On a typical machine (e.g. Tim's
+ P5-166) this doesn't reduce interactive responsiveness in a noticeable
+ way.
+
+Wed Apr 21 15:49:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * ColorDelegator.py:
+ Patch by Tim Peters to speed up colorizing of big multiline strings.
+
+Tue Apr 20 17:32:52 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * extend.txt:
+ For an event 'foo-bar', the corresponding method must be called
+ foo_bar_event(). Therefore, fix the references to zoom_height() in
+ the example.
+
+ * IdlePrefs.py: Restored the original IDLE color scheme.
+
+ * PyShell.py, IdlePrefs.py, ColorDelegator.py, EditorWindow.py:
+ Color preferences code by Loren Luke (massaged by me somewhat)
+
+ * SearchEngine.py:
+ Patch by Mark Favas: it fixes the search engine behaviour where an
+ unsuccessful search wraps around and re-searches that part of the file
+ between the start of the search and the end of the file - only really
+ an issue for very large files, but... (also removes a redundant
+ m.span() call).
+
+Mon Apr 19 16:26:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * TODO.txt: A few wishes are now fulfilled.
+
+ * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters implements some of my wishes:
+
+ o Makes the tab key intelligently insert spaces when appropriate
+ (see Help list banter twixt David Ascher and me; idea stolen from
+ every other editor on earth <wink>).
+
+ o newline_and_indent_event trims trailing whitespace on the old
+ line (pymode and Codewright).
+
+ o newline_and_indent_event no longer fooled by trailing whitespace or
+ comment after ":" (pymode, PTUI).
+
+ o newline_and_indent_event now reduces the new line's indentation after
+ return, break, continue, raise and pass stmts (pymode).
+
+ The last two are easy to fool in the presence of strings &
+ continuations, but pymode requires Emacs's high-powered C parsing
+ functions to avoid that in finite time.

+======================================================================
+ Python release 1.5.2c1, IDLE version 0.4
+======================================================================
+
+Wed Apr 7 18:41:59 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * README.txt, NEWS.txt: New version.
+
+ * idlever.py: Version bump awaiting impending new release.
+ (Not much has changed :-( )
+
+Mon Mar 29 14:52:28 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * ScriptBinding.py, PyShell.py:
+ At Tim Peters' recommendation, add a dummy flush() method to
+ PseudoFile.
+
+Thu Mar 11 23:21:23 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * PathBrowser.py: Don't crash when sys.path contains an empty string.
+
+ * Attic/Outline.py: This file was never supposed to be part of IDLE.
+
+ * PathBrowser.py:
+ - Don't crash in the case where a superclass is a string instead of a
+ pyclbr.Class object; this can happen when the superclass is
+ unrecognizable (to pyclbr), e.g. when module renaming is used.
+
+ - Show a watch cursor when calling pyclbr (since it may take a while
+ recursively parsing imported modules!).
+
+Wed Mar 10 05:18:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py: Add PathBrowser to File module
+
+ * PathBrowser.py: "Path browser" - 4 scrolled lists displaying:
+ directories on sys.path
+ modules in selected directory
+ classes in selected module
+ methods of selected class
+
+ Sinlge clicking in a directory, module or class item updates the next
+ column with info about the selected item. Double clicking in a
+ module, class or method item opens the file (and selects the clicked
+ item if it is a class or method).
+
+ I guess eventually I should be using a tree widget for this, but the
+ ones I've seen don't work well enough, so for now I use the old
+ Smalltalk or NeXT style multi-column hierarchical browser.
+
+ * MultiScrolledLists.py:
+ New utility: multiple scrolled lists in parallel
+
+ * ScrolledList.py: - White background.
+ - Display "(None)" (or text of your choosing) when empty.
+ - Don't set the focus.

+ * NEWS.txt: News in 0.3.
+
+ * README.txt, idlever.py: Bump version to 0.3.
+
+ * EditorWindow.py:
+ After all, we don't need to call the callbacks ourselves!
+
+ * WindowList.py:
+ When deleting, call the callbacks *after* deleting the window from our list!
+
+ * EditorWindow.py:
+ Fix up the Windows menu via the new callback mechanism instead of
+ depending on menu post commands (which don't work when the menu is
+ torn off).
+
+ * WindowList.py:
+ Support callbacks to patch up Windows menus everywhere.
+
+ * ChangeLog: Oh, why not. Checking in the Emacs-generated change log.
+
+Tue Feb 16 22:34:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * ScriptBinding.py:
+ Only pop up the stack viewer when requested in the Debug menu.
+
+Mon Feb 8 22:27:49 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * WindowList.py: Don't crash if a window no longer exists.

+ * TODO.txt: Restructured a bit.
+
+Mon Feb 1 23:06:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * PyShell.py: Add current dir or paths of file args to sys.path.
+
+ * Debugger.py: Add canonic() function -- for brand new bdb.py feature.
+
+ * StackViewer.py: Protect against accessing an empty stack.
+
+Fri Jan 29 20:44:45 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * ZoomHeight.py:
+ Use only the height to decide whether to zoom in or out.
+
+Thu Jan 28 22:24:30 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py:
+ Make sure the Tcl variables are shared between windows.
+
+ * PyShell.py, EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
+ Move menu/key binding code from Bindings.py to EditorWindow.py,
+ with changed APIs -- it makes much more sense there.
+ Also add a new feature: if the first character of a menu label is
+ a '!', it gets a checkbox. Checkboxes are bound to Boolean Tcl variables
+ that can be accessed through the new getvar/setvar/getrawvar API;
+ the variable is named after the event to which the menu is bound.
+
+ * Debugger.py: Add Quit button to the debugger window.
+
+ * SearchDialog.py:
+ When find_again() finds exactly the current selection, it's a failure.
+
+ * idle.py, Attic/idle: Rename idle -> idle.py
+
+Mon Jan 18 15:18:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

+
+ * TODO.txt: Misc
+
+Tue Jan 12 22:14:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * testcode.py, Attic/test.py:
+ Renamed test.py to testcode.py so one can import Python's
+ test package from inside IDLE. (Suggested by Jack Jansen.)
+
+ * EditorWindow.py, ColorDelegator.py:
+ Hack to close a window that is colorizing.
+
+ * Separator.py: Vladimir Marangozov's patch:
+ The separator dances too much and seems to jump by arbitrary amounts
+ in arbitrary directions when I try to move it for resizing the frames.
+ This patch makes it more quiet.
+
+Mon Jan 11 14:52:40 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * TODO.txt: Some requests have been fulfilled.
+
+ * EditorWindow.py:
+ Set the cursor to a watch when opening the class browser (which may
+ take quite a while, browsing multiple files).
+
+ Newer, better center() -- but assumes no wrapping.
+
+ * SearchBinding.py:
+ Got rid of debug print statement in goto_line_event().
+
+ * ScriptBinding.py:
+ I think I like it better if it prints the traceback even when it displays
+ the stack viewer.
+
+ * Debugger.py: Bind ESC to close-window.
+
+ * ClassBrowser.py: Use a HSeparator between the classes and the items.
+ Make the list of classes wider by default (40 chars).
+ Bind ESC to close-window.
+
+ * Separator.py:
+ Separator classes (draggable divider between two panes).
+
+Sat Jan 9 22:01:33 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * WindowList.py:
+ Don't traceback when wakeup() is called when the window has been destroyed.
+ This can happen when a torn-of Windows menu references closed windows.
+ And Tim Peters claims that the Windows menu is his favorite to tear off...
+
+ * EditorWindow.py: Allow tearing off of the Windows menu.
+
+ * StackViewer.py: Close on ESC.
+
+ * help.txt: Updated a bunch of things (it was mostly still 0.1!)
+
+ * extend.py: Added ScriptBinding to standard bindings.
+
+ * ScriptBinding.py:
+ This now actually works. See doc string. It can run a module (i.e.
+ import or reload) or debug it (same with debugger control). Output
+ goes to a fresh output window, only created when needed.

+
+ * FormatParagraph.py:
+ Change paragraph width limit to 70 (like Emacs M-Q).
+

+ Separating TODO from README. Slight reformulation of features. No
+ exact release date.
+
+ * TODO.txt: Separating TODO from README.
+
+Mon Jan 4 21:19:09 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * FormatParagraph.py:
+ Hm. There was a boundary condition error at the end of the file too.
+
+ * SearchBinding.py: Hm. Add Unix binding for replace, too.
+
+ * keydefs.py: Ran eventparse.py again.
+
+ * FormatParagraph.py: Added Unix Meta-q key binding;
+ fix find_paragraph when at start of file.
+
+ * AutoExpand.py: Added Meta-/ binding for Unix as alt for Alt-/.
+
+ * SearchBinding.py:
+ Add unix binding for grep (otherwise the menu entry doesn't work!)
+
+ * ZoomHeight.py: Adjusted Unix height to work with fvwm96. :=(
+
+ * GrepDialog.py: Need to import sys!
+
+ * help.txt, extend.txt, README.txt: Formatted some paragraphs
+
+ * extend.py, FormatParagraph.py:
+ Add new extension to reformat a (text) paragraph.
+
+ * ZoomHeight.py: Typo in Win specific height setting.
+
+Sun Jan 3 00:47:35 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * AutoIndent.py: Added something like Tim Peters' backspace patch.
+
+ * ZoomHeight.py: Adapted to Unix (i.e., more hardcoded constants).
+
+Sat Jan 2 21:28:54 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * keydefs.py, idlever.py, idle.pyw, idle.bat, help.txt, extend.txt, extend.py, eventparse.py, ZoomHeight.py, WindowList.py, UndoDelegator.py, StackViewer.py, SearchEngine.py, SearchDialogBase.py, SearchDialog.py, ScrolledList.py, SearchBinding.py, ScriptBinding.py, ReplaceDialog.py, Attic/README, README.txt, PyShell.py, Attic/PopupMenu.py, OutputWindow.py, IOBinding.py, Attic/HelpWindow.py, History.py, GrepDialog.py, FileList.py, FrameViewer.py, EditorWindow.py, Debugger.py, Delegator.py, ColorDelegator.py, Bindings.py, ClassBrowser.py, AutoExpand.py, AutoIndent.py:
+ Checking in IDLE 0.2.
+
+ Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
+ The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
+ see extend.txt. Some sample extensions have been provided, and
+ some existing code has been converted to extensions. Probably the
+ biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
+ search and replace, and even search in files (grep).
+
+ This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
+ from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
+
+Fri Dec 18 15:52:54 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * FileList.py, ClassBrowser.py:

+ * help.txt: Typo
+
+ * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py: Support underlining of menu labels
+
+ * Bindings.py:
+ New approach, separate tables for menus (platform-independent) and key
+ definitions (platform-specific), and generating accelerator strings
+ automatically from the key definitions.
+
+Mon Nov 16 18:37:42 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+

+
+ * Attic/turtle.py: root is now a global called _root
+
+Sat Oct 24 16:38:38 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * Attic/turtle.py: Raise the root window on reset().
+ Different action on WM_DELETE_WINDOW is more likely to do the right thing,
+ allowing us to destroy old windows.
+
+ * Attic/turtle.py:
+ Split the goto() function in two: _goto() is the internal one,
+ using Canvas coordinates, and goto() uses turtle coordinates
+ and accepts variable argument lists.
+
+ * Attic/turtle.py: Cope with destruction of the window
+
+ * Attic/turtle.py: Turtle graphics
+
+ * Debugger.py: Use of Breakpoint class should be bdb.Breakpoint.

+
+ * SearchBinding.py:
+ Speed up the search a bit -- don't drag a mark around...

+ * PyShell.py:
+ Change our special entries from <console#N> to <pyshell#N>.
+ Patch linecache.checkcache() to keep our special entries alive.
+ Add popup menu to all editor windows to set a breakpoint.
+
+ * Debugger.py:
+ Use and pass through the 'force' flag to set_dict() where appropriate.
+ Default source and globals checkboxes to false.
+ Don't interact in user_return().
+ Add primitive set_breakpoint() method.
+
+ * ColorDelegator.py:
+ Raise priority of 'sel' tag so its foreground (on Windows) will take
+ priority over text colorization (which on Windows is almost the
+ same color as the selection background).
+
+ Define a tag and color for breakpoints ("BREAK").
+
+ * Attic/PopupMenu.py: Disable "Open stack viewer" and "help" commands.
+
+ * StackViewer.py:
+ Add optional 'force' argument (default 0) to load_dict().
+ If set, redo the display even if it's the same dict.
+
+Fri Oct 16 21:10:12 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * StackViewer.py: Do nothing when loading the same dict as before.
+
+ * PyShell.py: Details for debugger interface.
+

+ Restructured and more consistent. Save checkboxes across instantiations.
+

+
+ * Debugger.py, StackViewer.py:
+ Debugger can now show local and global variables.
+
+ * Debugger.py: Oops
+
+ * Debugger.py, PyShell.py: Better debugger support (show stack etc).
+
+ * Attic/PopupMenu.py: Follow renames in StackViewer module
+
+ * StackViewer.py:
+ Rename classes to StackViewer (the widget) and StackBrowser (the toplevel).
+
+ * ScrolledList.py: Add close() method
+
+ * EditorWindow.py: Clarify 'Open Module' dialog text
+
+ * StackViewer.py: Restructured into a browser and a widget.
+
+Thu Oct 15 23:27:08 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * ClassBrowser.py, ScrolledList.py:
+ Generalized the scrolled list which is the base for the class and
+ method browser into a separate class in its own module.
+
+ * Attic/test.py: Cosmetic change
+
+ * Debugger.py: Don't show function name if there is none
+
+Wed Oct 14 03:43:05 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * Debugger.py, PyShell.py: Polish the Debugger GUI a bit.
+ Closing it now also does the right thing.
+
+Tue Oct 13 23:51:13 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * Debugger.py, PyShell.py, Bindings.py:
+ Ad primitive debugger interface (so far it will step and show you the
+ source, but it doesn't yet show the stack).
+
+ * Attic/README: Misc
+
+ * StackViewer.py: Whoops -- referenced self.top before it was set.
+
+ * help.txt: Added history and completion commands.

+
+ * ClassBrowser.py: Much improved, much left to do.
+
+ * PyShell.py: Make the return key do what I mean more often.
+
+ * ClassBrowser.py:
+ Adding the beginnings of a Class browser. Incomplete, yet.
+
+ * EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
+ Add new command, "Open module". You select or type a module name,
+ and it opens the source.
+
+Mon Oct 12 23:59:27 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
+
+ * PyShell.py: Subsume functionality from Popup menu in Debug menu.
+ Other stuff so the PyShell window can be resurrected from the Windows menu.
+
+ * FileList.py: Get rid of PopUp menu.
+ Create a simple Windows menu. (Imperfect when Untitled windows exist.)
