| Guido van Rossum | a2ca434 | 1999-04-07 18:41:59 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 5 | New in IDLE 0.4 (4/7/99) |
| 6 | ------------------------ |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Most important change: a new menu entry "File -> Path browser", shows |
| 9 | a 4-column hierarchical browser which lets you browse sys.path, |
| 10 | directories, modules, and classes. Yes, it's a superset of the Class |
| 11 | browser menu entry. There's also a new internal module, |
| 12 | MultiScrolledLists.py, which provides the framework for this dialog. |

| Guido van Rossum | a89b98f | 1999-02-17 22:47:41 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | New in IDLE 0.3 (2/17/99) |
| 15 | ------------------------- |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Most important changes: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - Enabled support for running a module, with or without the debugger. |
| 20 | Output goes to a new window. Pressing F5 in a module is effectively a |
| 21 | reload of that module; Control-F5 loads it under the debugger. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - Re-enable tearing off the Windows menu, and make a torn-off Windows |
| 24 | menu update itself whenever a window is opened or closed. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | - Menu items can now be have a checkbox (when the menu label starts |
| 27 | with "!"); use this for the Debugger and "Auto-open stack viewer" |
| 28 | (was: JIT stack viewer) menu items. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - Added a Quit button to the Debugger API. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | - The current directory is explicitly inserted into sys.path. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | - Fix the debugger (when using Python 1.5.2b2) to use canonical |
| 35 | filenames for breakpoints, so these actually work. (There's still a |
| 36 | lot of work to be done to the management of breakpoints in the |
| 37 | debugger though.) |
| 38 | |
| 39 | - Closing a window that is still colorizing now actually works. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | - Allow dragging of the separator between the two list boxes in the |
| 42 | class browser. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | - Bind ESC to "close window" of the debugger, stack viewer and class |
| 45 | browser. It removes the selection highlighting in regular text |
| 46 | windows. (These are standard Windows conventions.) |
| 47 | |

| 78 | automaticall pops up when you get a traceback. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | Windows menu: |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Zoom height -- make the window full height. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | |
| 85 | Help menu: |
