| What's New in IDLE 3.5.1? |
| ========================= |
| *Release date: 2015-09-13* |
| |
| - Issue #24820: IDLE now has an 'IDLE Dark' built-in text color theme. |
| It is more or less IDLE Classic inverted, with a cobalt blue background. |
| Strings, comments, keywords, ... are still green, red, orange, ... . |
| Selecting it displays the following warning and solution. |
| "IDLE Dark is new in October, 2015. Trying to run earlier versions |
| of IDLE with it selected will disable colorizing, or worse. |
| If you might ever run an earlier release of IDLE, then before |
| exiting this version, either switch to another theme or hit the |
| 'Save as New Custom Theme' button. The latter requires a new name, |
| such as 'Custom Dark', but the custom theme will work with any IDLE |
| release, and can be modified." |
| |
| - Issue #25224: README.txt is now an idlelib index for IDLE developers and |
| curious users. The previous user content is now in the IDLE doc and is |
| redundant. IDLE now means 'Integrated Development and Learning Environment'. |
| |
| - Issue #24820: Users can now set breakpoint colors in |
| Settings -> Custom Highlighting. Original patch by Mark Roseman. |
| |
| - Issue #24972: Inactive selection background now matches active selection |
| background, as configured by user, on all systems. Found items are now |
| always highlighted on Windows. Initial patch by Mark Roseman. |

| editor window with a filename. When Class Browser is requested otherwise, |
| from a shell, output window, or 'Untitled' editor, Idle no longer displays |

| is entered and a module is opened, a corresponding browser is also opened. |

| - Bug in idlelib.MultiCall: Options dialog was crashing IDLE if there was an |
| option in config-extensions w/o a value. Patch #1672481, Tal Einat |
| |
| - Corrected some bugs in AutoComplete. Also, Page Up/Down in ACW implemented; |
| mouse and cursor selection in ACWindow implemented; double Tab inserts |
| current selection and closes ACW (similar to double-click and Return); scroll |
| wheel now works in ACW. Added AutoComplete instructions to IDLE Help. |
| |

| |
| - Changing tokenize (39046) to detect dedent broke tabnanny check (since 1.2a1) |

| |

| |
| - Avoid occasional failure to detect closing paren properly. |
| Patch 1407280 Tal Einat |
| |
| - Rebinding Tab key was inserting 'tab' instead of 'Tab'. Bug 1179168. |
| |
| - Colorizer now handles #<builtin> correctly, also unicode strings and |
| 'as' keyword in comment directly following import command. Closes 1325071. |

| - Mac line endings were incorrect when pasting code from some browsers |
| when using X11 and the Fink distribution. Python Bug 1263656. |
| |
| - <Enter> when cursor is on a previous command retrieves that command. Instead |
| of replacing the input line, the previous command is now appended to the |
| input line. Indentation is preserved, and undo is enabled. |

| |
| - Clarify "tab/space" Error Dialog and "Tab Width" Dialog associated with |
| the Untabify command. |
| |
| - Corrected "tab/space" Error Dialog to show correct menu for Untabify. |

| saving as non-Python files. Patch 1196895 Jeff Shute |
| Closes Python Bugs 775012 and 800432, partial fix IDLEfork 763524 |
| |
| - Improve subprocess link error notification. |
| |
| - run.py: use Queue's blocking feature instead of sleeping in the main |
| loop. Patch # 1190163 Michiel de Hoon |
| |
| - Add config-main option to make the 'history' feature non-cyclic. |
| Default remains cyclic. Python Patch 914546 Noam Raphael. |
| |
| - Removed ability to configure tabs indent from Options dialog. This 'feature' |
| has never worked and no one has complained. It is still possible to set a |
| default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on |
| tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will |
| encourage indentation via spaces. |
| |
| - Enable setting the indentation width using the Options dialog. |
| Bug # 783877 |
| |
| - Add keybindings for del-word-left and del-word-right. |
| |
| - Discourage using an indent width other than 8 when using tabs to indent |
| Python code. |
| |
| - Restore use of EditorWindow.set_indentation_params(), was dead code since |
| Autoindent was merged into EditorWindow. This allows IDLE to conform to the |
| indentation width of a loaded file. (But it still will not switch to tabs |
| even if the file uses tabs.) Any change in indent width is local to that |
| window. |
| |
| - Add Tabnanny check before Run/F5, not just when Checking module. |
| |
| - If an extension can't be loaded, print warning and skip it instead of |
| erroring out. |
| |
| - Improve error handling when .idlerc can't be created (warn and exit). |
| |
| - The GUI was hanging if the shell window was closed while a raw_input() |
| was pending. Restored the quit() of the readline() mainloop(). |
| http://mail.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2004-December/002307.html |
| |
| - The remote procedure call module rpc.py can now access data attributes of |
| remote registered objects. Changes to these attributes are local, however. |
| |
| |
| What's New in IDLE 1.1? |
| ======================= |
| *Release date: 30-NOV-2004* |
| |
| - On OpenBSD, terminating IDLE with ctrl-c from the command line caused a |
| stuck subprocess MainThread because only the SocketThread was exiting. |
| |
| - Saving a Keyset w/o making changes (by using the "Save as New Custom Key Set" |
| button) caused IDLE to fail on restart (no new keyset was created in |
| config-keys.cfg). Also true for Theme/highlights. Python Bug 1064535. |
| |
| - A change to the linecache.py API caused IDLE to exit when an exception was |
| raised while running without the subprocess (-n switch). Python Bug 1063840. |
| |
| - When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was |
| introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how |
| far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width |
| to the reformat width. This has been repaired, and the reformat |
| width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines. |
| |
| - Improve keyboard focus binding, especially in Windows menu. Improve |
| window raising, especially in the Windows menu and in the debugger. |
| IDLEfork 763524. |
| |
| - If user passes a non-existent filename on the commandline, just |
| open a new file, don't raise a dialog. IDLEfork 854928. |
| |
| - EditorWindow.py was not finding the .chm help file on Windows. Typo |
| at Rev 1.54. Python Bug 990954 |
| |
| - checking sys.platform for substring 'win' was breaking IDLE docs on Mac |
| (darwin). Also, Mac Safari browser requires full file:// URIs. SF 900580. |
| |
| - Redirect the warning stream to the shell during the ScriptBinding check of |
| user code and format the warning similarly to an exception for both that |
| check and for runtime warnings raised in the subprocess. |
| |
| - CodeContext hint pane visibility state is now persistent across sessions. |
| The pane no longer appears in the shell window. Added capability to limit |
| extensions to shell window or editor windows. Noam Raphael addition |
| to Patch 936169. |
| |
| - Paragraph reformat width is now a configurable parameter in the |
| Options GUI. |
| |
| - New Extension: CodeContext. Provides block structuring hints for code |
| which has scrolled above an edit window. Patch 936169 Noam Raphael. |
| |
| - If nulls somehow got into the strings in recent-files.lst |
| EditorWindow.update_recent_files_list() was failing. Python Bug 931336. |
| |
| - If the normal background is changed via Configure/Highlighting, it will |
| update immediately, thanks to the previously mentioned patch by Nigel Rowe. |
| |
| - Add a highlight theme for builtin keywords. Python Patch 805830 Nigel Rowe |
| This also fixed IDLEfork bug [ 693418 ] Normal text background color not |
| refreshed and Python bug [897872 ] Unknown color name on HP-UX |
| |
| - rpc.py:SocketIO - Large modules were generating large pickles when downloaded |
| to the execution server. The return of the OK response from the subprocess |
| initialization was interfering and causing the sending socket to be not |
| ready. Add an IO ready test to fix this. Moved the polling IO ready test |
| into pollpacket(). |
| |
| - Fix typo in rpc.py, s/b "pickle.PicklingError" not "pickle.UnpicklingError". |
| |
| - Added a Tk error dialog to run.py inform the user if the subprocess can't |
| connect to the user GUI process. Added a timeout to the GUI's listening |
| socket. Added Tk error dialogs to PyShell.py to announce a failure to bind |
| the port or connect to the subprocess. Clean up error handling during |
| connection initiation phase. This is an update of Python Patch 778323. |
| |
| - Print correct exception even if source file changed since shell was |
| restarted. IDLEfork Patch 869012 Noam Raphael |
| |
| - Keybindings with the Shift modifier now work correctly. So do bindings which |
| use the Space key. Limit unmodified user keybindings to the function keys. |
| Python Bug 775353, IDLEfork Bugs 755647, 761557 |
| |
| - After an exception, run.py was not setting the exception vector. Noam |
| Raphael suggested correcting this so pdb's postmortem pm() would work. |
| IDLEfork Patch 844675 |
| |
| - IDLE now does not fail to save the file anymore if the Tk buffer is not a |
| Unicode string, yet eol_convention is. Python Bugs 774680, 788378 |
| |
| - IDLE didn't start correctly when Python was installed in "Program Files" on |
| W2K and XP. Python Bugs 780451, 784183 |
| |
| - config-main.def documentation incorrectly referred to idle- instead of |
| config- filenames. SF 782759 Also added note about .idlerc location. |
| |
| |
| What's New in IDLE 1.0? |
| ======================= |
| *Release date: 29-Jul-2003* |
| |
| - Added a banner to the shell discussing warnings possibly raised by personal |
| firewall software. Added same comment to README.txt. |
| |
| - Calltip error when docstring was None Python Bug 775541 |
| |
| - Updated extend.txt, help.txt, and config-extensions.def to correctly |
| reflect the current status of the configuration system. Python Bug 768469 |
| |
| - Fixed: Call Tip Trimming May Loop Forever. Python Patch 769142 (Daniels) |
| |
| - Replaced apply(f, args, kwds) with f(*args, **kwargs) to improve performance |
| Python Patch 768187 |
| |
| - Break or continue statements outside a loop were causing IDLE crash |
| Python Bug 767794 |
| |
| - Convert Unicode strings from readline to IOBinding.encoding. Also set |
| sys.std{in|out|err}.encoding, for both the local and the subprocess case. |
| SF IDLEfork patch 682347. |
| |
| - Extend AboutDialog.ViewFile() to support file encodings. Make the CREDITS |
| file Latin-1. |
| |
| - Updated the About dialog to reflect re-integration into Python. Provide |
| buttons to display Python's NEWS, License, and Credits, plus additional |
| buttons for IDLE's README and NEWS. |
| |
| - TextViewer() now has a third parameter which allows inserting text into the |
| viewer instead of reading from a file. |
| |
| - (Created the .../Lib/idlelib directory in the Python CVS, which is a clone of |
| IDLEfork modified to install in the Python environment. The code in the |
| interrupt module has been moved to thread.interrupt_main(). ) |
| |
| - Printing the Shell window was failing if it was not saved first SF 748975 |
| |
| - When using the Search in Files dialog, if the user had a selection |
| highlighted in his Editor window, insert it into the dialog search field. |
| |
| - The Python Shell entry was disappearing from the Windows menu. |
| |
| - Update the Windows file list when a file name change occurs |
| |
| - Change to File / Open Module: always pop up the dialog, using the current |
| selection as the default value. This is easier to use habitually. |
| |
| - Avoided a problem with starting the subprocess when 'localhost' doesn't |
| resolve to the user's loopback interface. SF 747772 |
| |
| - Fixed an issue with highlighted errors never de-colorizing. SF 747677. Also |
| improved notification of Tabnanny Token Error. |
| |
| - File / New will by default save in the directory of the Edit window from |
| which it was initiated. SF 748973 Guido van Rossum patch. |
| |
| |
| What's New in IDLEfork 0.9b1? |
| ============================= |
| *Release date: 02-Jun-2003* |
| |
| - The current working directory of the execution environment (and shell |
| following completion of execution) is now that of the module being run. |
| |
| - Added the delete-exitfunc option to config-main.def. (This option is not |
| included in the Options dialog.) Setting this to True (the default) will |
| cause IDLE to not run sys.exitfunc/atexit when the subprocess exits. |
| |
| - IDLE now preserves the line ending codes when editing a file produced on |
| a different platform. SF 661759, SF 538584 |
| |
| - Reduced default editor font size to 10 point and increased window height |
| to provide a better initial impression on Windows. |
| |
| - Options / Fonts/Tabs / Set Base Editor Font: List box was not highlighting |
| the default font when first installed on Windows. SF 661676 |
| |
| - Added Autosave feature: when user runs code from edit window, if the file |
| has been modified IDLE will silently save it if Autosave is enabled. The |
| option is set in the Options dialog, and the default is to prompt the |
| user to save the file. SF 661318 Bruce Sherwood patch. |
| |
| - Improved the RESTART annotation in the shell window when the user restarts |
| the shell while it is generating output. Also improved annotation when user |
| repeatedly hammers the Ctrl-F6 restart. |
| |
| - Allow IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory |
| SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up" - Raphael |
| |
| - When a module is run from an EditorWindow: if its directory is not in |
| sys.path, prepend it. This allows the module to import other modules in |
| the same directory. Do the same for a script run from the command line. |
| |
| - Correctly restart the subprocess if it is running user code and the user |
| attempts to run some other module or restarts the shell. Do the same if |
| the link is broken and it is possible to restart the subprocess and re- |
| connect to the GUI. SF RFE 661321. |
| |
| - Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the |
| command line. |
| |
| - Added a -n command line switch to start IDLE without the subprocess. |
| Removed the Shell menu when running in that mode. Updated help messages. |
| |
| - Added a comment to the shell startup header to indicate when IDLE is not |
| using the subprocess. |
| |
| - Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for |
| some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the |
| debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be |
| desirable, depending on your point of view. In addition, the traditional |
| reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.) This is |
| helpful for developing IDLE using IDLE, because one instance can be used to |
| edit the code and a separate instance run to test changes. (Multiple |
| concurrent IDLE instances with subprocesses is a future feature) |
| |
| - Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII |
| characters and no source encoding is specified. Done by adding a dialog |
| 'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry |
| widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically. |
| Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three |
| possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show |
| this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files |
| with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that |
| files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the |
| source contains characters outside the locale's charset. SF 710733 - Loewis |
| |
| - Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various |
| calls to signal.signal(). |
| |
| - Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass |
| loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension. User code runs |
| in MainThread, while the RPCServer is handled by SockThread. This is |
| necessary because Windows doesn't support signals. |
| |
| - Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread |
| to raise a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread. |
| |
| - Attempting to save the shell raised an error related to saving |
| breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell |
| |
| - Provide a correct message when 'exit' or 'quit' are entered at the |
| IDLE command prompt SF 695861 |
| |
| - Eliminate extra blank line in shell output caused by not flushing |
| stdout when user code ends with an unterminated print. SF 695861 |
| |
| - Moved responsibility for exception formatting (i.e. pruning IDLE internal |
| calls) out of rpc.py into the client and server. |
| |
| - Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O |
| |
| - Handle subprocess interrupt with an RPC message. |
| |
| - Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that) |
| |
| - Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the |
| exception formatting to the subprocess. |
| |
| |
| What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 2? |
| =================================== |
| *Release date: 27-Jan-2003* |
| |
| - Updated INSTALL.txt to claify use of the python2 rpm. |
| |
| - Improved formatting in IDLE Help. |
| |
| - Run menu: Replace "Run Script" with "Run Module". |
| |
| - Code encountering an unhandled exception under the debugger now shows |
| the correct traceback, with IDLE internal levels pruned out. |
| |
| - If an exception occurs entirely in IDLE, don't prune the IDLE internal |
| modules from the traceback displayed. |
| |
| - Class Browser and Path Browser now use Alt-Key-2 for vertical zoom. |
| |
| - IDLE icons will now install correctly even when setup.py is run from the |
| build directory |
| |
| - Class Browser now compatible with Python2.3 version of pyclbr.py |
| |
| - Left cursor move in presence of selected text now moves from left end |
| of the selection. |
| |
| - Add Meta keybindings to "IDLE Classic Windows" to handle reversed |
| Alt/Meta on some Linux distros. |
| |
| - Change default: IDLE now starts with Python Shell. |
| |
| - Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list. |
| |
| - Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the |
| Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is |
| validated, as before.) |
| |
| - Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the |
| order entered. Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option' |
| number. |
| |
| - Add Browse button to New Help Source dialog. Arrange to start in |
| Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory. |
| |
| - Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in |
| an Extra Help cascade menu. Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional |
| Help Sources come last. Update help.txt appropriately. |
| |
| - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py and configDialog.py |
| |
| - Uniform capitalization in General tab of ConfigDialog, update the doc string. |
| |
| - Fix bug in ConfigDialog where SaveAllChangedConfig() was unexpectedly |
| deleting Additional Help Sources from the user's config file. |
| |
| - Make configHelpSourceEdit OK button the default and bind <Return> |
| |
| - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configHelpSourceEdit: error dialogs not attached |
| to parents. |
| |
| - Use os.startfile() to open both Additional Help and Python Help on the |
| Windows platform. The application associated with the file type will act as |
| the viewer. Windows help files (.chm) are now supported via the |
| Settings/General/Additional Help facility. |
| |
| - If Python Help files are installed locally on Linux, use them instead of |
| accessing python.org. |
| |
| - Make the methods for finding the Python help docs more robust, and make |
| them work in the installed configuration, also. |
| |
| - On the Save Before Run dialog, make the OK button the default. One |
| less mouse action! |
| |
| - Add a method: EditorWindow.get_geometry() for future use in implementing |
| window location persistence. |
| |
| - Removed the "Help/Advice" menu entry. Thanks, David! We'll remember! |
| |
| - Change the "Classic Windows" theme's paste key to be <ctrl-v>. |
| |
| - Rearrange the Shell menu to put Stack Viewer entries adjacent. |
| |
| - Add the ability to restart the subprocess interpreter from the shell window; |
| add an associated menu entry "Shell/Restart" with binding Control-F6. Update |
| IDLE help. |
| |
| - Upon a restart, annotate the shell window with a "restart boundary". Add a |
| shell window menu "Shell/View Restart" with binding F6 to jump to the most |
| recent restart boundary. |
| |
| - Add Shell menu to Python Shell; change "Settings" to "Options". |
| |
| - Remove incorrect comment in setup.py: IDLEfork is now installed as a package. |
| |
| - Add INSTALL.txt, HISTORY.txt, NEWS.txt to installed configuration. |
| |
| - In installer text, fix reference to Visual Python, should be VPython. |
| Properly credit David Scherer. |
| |
| - Modified idle, idle.py, idle.pyw to improve exception handling. |
| |
| |
| What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 1? |
| =================================== |
| *Release date: 31-Dec-2002* |
| |
| - First release of major new functionality. For further details refer to |
| Idle-dev and/or the Sourceforge CVS. |
| |
| - Adapted to the Mac platform. |
| |
| - Overhauled the IDLE startup options and revised the idle -h help message, |
| which provides details of command line usage. |
| |
| - Multiple bug fixes and usability enhancements. |
| |
| - Introduced the new RPC implementation, which includes a debugger. The output |
| of user code is to the shell, and the shell may be used to inspect the |
| environment after the run has finished. (In version 0.8.1 the shell |
| environment was separate from the environment of the user code.) |
| |
| - Introduced the configuration GUI and a new About dialog. |
| |
| - Removed David Scherer's Remote Procedure Call code and replaced with Guido |
| van Rossum's. GvR code has support for the IDLE debugger and uses the shell |
| to inspect the environment of code Run from an Edit window. Files removed: |
| ExecBinding.py, loader.py, protocol.py, Remote.py, spawn.py |
