Terry Jan Reedy | 2c5c0a3 | 2018-07-20 02:14:56 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 6 | bpo-33905: Add test for idlelib.stackview.StackBrowser. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | bpo-33924: Change mainmenu.menudefs key 'windows' to 'window'. |
| 9 | Every other menudef key is the lowercase version of the |
| 10 | corresponding main menu entry (in this case, 'Window'). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | bpo-33906: Rename idlelib.windows as window |
| 13 | Match Window on the main menu and remove last plural module name. |
| 14 | Change imports, test, and attribute references to match new name. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | bpo-33917: Fix and document idlelib/idle_test/template.py. |
| 17 | The revised file compiles, runs, and tests OK. idle_test/README.txt |
| 18 | explains how to use it to create new IDLE test files. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | bpo-33904: In rstrip module, rename class RstripExtension as Rstrip. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | bpo-33907: For consistency and clarity, rename calltip objects. |
| 23 | Module calltips and its class CallTips are now calltip and Calltip. |
| 24 | In module calltip_w, class CallTip is now CalltipWindow. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | bpo-33855: Minimally test all IDLE modules. |
| 27 | Standardize the test file format. Add missing test files that import |
| 28 | the tested module and perform at least one test. Check and record the |
| 29 | coverage of each test. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | bpo-33856: Add 'help' to Shell's initial welcome message. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | |
| 34 | What's New in IDLE 3.7.0 (since 3.6.0) |
| 35 | Released on 2018-06-27 |
| 36 | ====================================== |
| 37 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 800415e | 2018-06-11 14:14:32 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 38 | bpo-33656: On Windows, add API call saying that tk scales for DPI. |
| 39 | On Windows 8.1+ or 10, with DPI compatibility properties of the Python |
| 40 | binary unchanged, and a monitor resolution greater than 96 DPI, this |
Terry Jan Reedy | 4b704f2 | 2018-06-11 16:53:41 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | should make text and lines sharper and some colors brighter. |
| 42 | On other systems, it should have no effect. If you have a custom theme, |
| 43 | you may want to adjust a color or two. If perchance it make text worse |
| 44 | on your monitor, you can disable the ctypes.OleDLL call near the top of |
| 45 | pyshell.py and report the problem on python-list or idle-dev@python.org. |
Terry Jan Reedy | 800415e | 2018-06-11 14:14:32 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 46 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | b1f6902 | 2018-06-08 02:28:45 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 47 | bpo-33768: Clicking on a context line moves that line to the top |
| 48 | of the editor window. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | bpo-33763: Replace the code context label widget with a text widget. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | bpo-33664: Scroll IDLE editor text by lines. |
| 53 | (Previously, the mouse wheel and scrollbar slider moved text by a fixed |
| 54 | number of pixels, resulting in partial lines at the top of the editor |
| 55 | box.) This change also applies to the shell and grep output windows, |
| 56 | but currently not to read-only text views. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | bpo-33679: Enable theme-specific color configuration for Code Context. |
| 59 | (Previously, there was one code context foreground and background font |
| 60 | color setting, default or custom, on the extensions tab, that applied |
| 61 | to all themes.) For built-in themes, the foreground is the same as |
| 62 | normal text and the background is a contrasting gray. Context colors for |
| 63 | custom themes are set on the Hightlights tab along with other colors. |
| 64 | When one starts IDLE from a console and loads a custom theme without |
| 65 | definitions for 'context', one will see a warning message on the |
| 66 | console. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | bpo-33642: Display up to maxlines non-blank lines for Code Context. |
| 69 | If there is no current context, show a single blank line. (Previously, |
| 70 | the Code Contex had numlines lines, usually with some blank.) The use |
| 71 | of a new option, 'maxlines' (default 15), avoids possible interference |
| 72 | with user settings of the old option, 'numlines' (default 3). |
| 73 | |
Cheryl Sabella | 8506016 | 2018-05-23 22:18:15 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 74 | bpo-33628: Cleanup codecontext.py and its test. |
| 75 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 6b0d09b | 2018-05-19 21:38:46 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 76 | bpo-32831: Add docstrings and tests for codecontext.py. |
| 77 | Coverage is 100%. Patch by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | bpo-33564: Code context now recognizes async as a block opener. |
| 80 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 038b21f | 2018-05-15 17:41:57 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 81 | bpo-21474: Update word/identifier definition from ascii to unicode. |
| 82 | In text and entry boxes, this affects selection by double-click, |
| 83 | movement left/right by control-left/right, and deletion left/right |
| 84 | by control-BACKSPACE/DEL. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | bpo-33204: Consistently color invalid string prefixes. |
| 87 | A 'u' string prefix cannot be paired with either 'r' or 'f'. |
| 88 | IDLE now consistently colors as much of the prefix, starting at the |
| 89 | right, as is valid. Revise and extend colorizer test. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | bpo-32984: Set __file__ while running a startup file. |
| 92 | Like Python, IDLE optionally runs 1 startup file in the Shell window |
| 93 | before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE, |
| 94 | option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or |
| 95 | PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup |
| 96 | file name before running the file and unsets it before the first |
| 97 | prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n |
| 98 | option. |
| 99 | |
| 100 | bpo-32940: Replace StringTranslatePseudoMapping with faster code. |
| 101 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 0954c9e | 2018-02-27 18:36:21 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 102 | bpo-32916: Change 'str' to 'code' in idlelib.pyparse and users. |
| 103 | |
| 104 | bpo-32905: Remove unused code in pyparse module. |
| 105 | |
| 106 | bpo-32874: IDLE - add pyparse tests with 97% coverage. |
| 107 | |
| 108 | bpo-32837: IDLE - require encoding argument for textview.view_file. |
| 109 | Using the system and place-dependent default encoding for open() |
| 110 | is a bad idea for IDLE's system and location-independent files. |
| 111 | |
| 112 | bpo-32826: Add "encoding=utf-8" to open() in IDLE's test_help_about. |
| 113 | GUI test test_file_buttons() only looks at initial ascii-only lines, |
| 114 | but failed on systems where open() defaults to 'ascii' because |
| 115 | readline() internally reads and decodes far enough ahead to encounter |
| 116 | a non-ascii character in CREDITS.txt. |
| 117 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 05e8067 | 2018-02-04 19:07:16 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 118 | bpo-32765: Update configdialog General tab create page docstring. |
| 119 | Add new widgets to the widget list. |
| 120 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 2c0c68d | 2017-12-04 17:04:15 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 121 | bpo-32207: Improve tk event exception tracebacks in IDLE. |
| 122 | When tk event handling is driven by IDLE's run loop, a confusing |
| 123 | and distracting queue.EMPTY traceback context is no longer added |
| 124 | to tk event exception tracebacks. The traceback is now the same |
| 125 | as when event handling is driven by user code. Patch based on |
| 126 | a suggestion by Serhiy Storchaka. |
| 127 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 21255fc | 2017-12-04 14:48:25 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 128 | bpo-32164: Delete unused file idlelib/tabbedpages.py. |
| 129 | Use of TabbedPageSet in configdialog was replaced by ttk.Notebook. |
| 130 | |
| 131 | bpo-32100: Fix old and new bugs in pathbrowser; improve tests. |
| 132 | Patch mostly by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 133 | |
| 134 | bpo-31860: The font sample in the settings dialog is now editable. |
| 135 | Edits persist while IDLE remains open. |
| 136 | Patch by Serhiy Storchake and Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 137 | |
Ville Skyttä | 61f82e0 | 2018-04-20 23:08:45 +0300 | [diff] [blame] | 138 | bpo-31858: Restrict shell prompt manipulation to the shell. |
Terry Jan Reedy | 21255fc | 2017-12-04 14:48:25 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 139 | Editor and output windows only see an empty last prompt line. This |
| 140 | simplifies the code and fixes a minor bug when newline is inserted. |
| 141 | Sys.ps1, if present, is read on Shell start-up, but is not set or changed. |
| 142 | Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 143 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 27288de | 2017-10-17 19:02:49 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 144 | bpo-28603: Fix a TypeError that caused a shell restart when printing |
| 145 | a traceback that includes an exception that is unhashable. |
| 146 | Patch by Zane Bitter. |
| 147 | |
| 148 | bpo-13802: Use non-Latin characters in the Font settings sample. |
| 149 | Even if one selects a font that defines a limited subset of the unicode |
| 150 | Basic Multilingual Plane, tcl/tk will use other fonts that define a |
| 151 | character. The expanded example give users of non-Latin characters |
| 152 | a better idea of what they might see in the shell and editors. |
| 153 | |
| 154 | To make room for the expanded sample, frames on the Font tab are |
| 155 | re-arranged. The Font/Tabs help explains a bit about the additions. |
| 156 | Patch by Terry Jan Reedy |
| 157 | |
| 158 | bpo-31460: Simplify the API of IDLE's Module Browser. |
| 159 | Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the |
| 160 | option of creating a browser frame that is only part of a window. |
| 161 | Passing a full file name instead of pieces assumed to come from a |
| 162 | .py file opens the possibility of browsing python files that do not |
| 163 | end in .py. |
| 164 | |
| 165 | bpo-31649: Make _htest and _utest parameters keyword-only. |
| 166 | These are used to adjust code for human and unit tests. |
| 167 | |
| 168 | bpo-31459: Rename module browser from Class Browser to Module Browser. |
| 169 | The original module-level class and method browser became a module |
| 170 | browser, with the addition of module-level functions, years ago. |
| 171 | Nested classes and functions were added yesterday. For back- |
| 172 | compatibility, the virtual event <<open-class-browser>>, which |
| 173 | appears on the Keys tab of the Settings dialog, is not changed. |
| 174 | Patch by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 175 | |
| 176 | bpo-1612262: Module browser now shows nested classes and functions. |
| 177 | Original patches for code and tests by Guilherme Polo and |
| 178 | Cheryl Sabella, respectively. Revisions by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 179 | |
| 180 | bpo-31500: Tk's default fonts now are scaled on HiDPI displays. |
| 181 | This affects all dialogs. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka. |
| 182 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 55679e0 | 2017-09-17 20:14:21 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 183 | bpo-31493: Fix code context update and font update timers. |
| 184 | Canceling timers prevents a warning message when test_idle completes. |
| 185 | |
| 186 | bpo-31488: Update non-key options in former extension classes. |
| 187 | When applying configdialog changes, call .reload for each feature class. |
| 188 | Change ParenMatch so updated options affect existing instances attached |
| 189 | to existing editor windows. |
| 190 | |
| 191 | bpo-31477: Improve rstrip entry in IDLE doc. |
| 192 | Strip Trailing Whitespace strips more than blank spaces. |
| 193 | Multiline string literals are not skipped. |
| 194 | |
| 195 | bpo-31480: fix tests to pass with zzdummy extension disabled. (#3590) |
| 196 | To see the example in action, enable it on options extensions tab. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | bpo-31421: Document how IDLE runs tkinter programs. |
| 199 | IDLE calls tcl/tk update in the background in order to make live |
| 200 | interaction and experimentatin with tkinter applications much easier. |
| 201 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | f658641 | 2017-12-10 04:02:53 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 202 | bpo-31414: Fix tk entry box tests by deleting first. |
Terry Jan Reedy | 8239fd7 | 2017-09-11 16:43:26 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 203 | Adding to an int entry is not the same as deleting and inserting |
| 204 | because int('') will fail. Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | bpo-27099: Convert IDLE's built-in 'extensions' to regular features. |
| 207 | About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional |
| 208 | extensions. Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for |
| 209 | users and not good for maintenance. Hence the conversion. |
| 210 | The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings |
| 211 | for builtin features are now handled uniformly. Now, editing a binding |
| 212 | in a keyset only affects its value in the keyset. All bindings are |
| 213 | defined together in the system-specific default keysets in config- |
| 214 | extensions.def. All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config- |
| 215 | extension.cfg. All take effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok. |
| 216 | The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>', |
| 217 | '<<expand-word>>', '<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>', |
| 218 | '<<format-paragraph>>', '<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and |
| 219 | '<<zoom-height>>'. Any (global) customizations made before 3.6.3 will |
| 220 | not affect their keyset-specific customization after 3.6.3. and vice |
| 221 | versa. |
luzpaz | a5293b4 | 2017-11-05 07:37:50 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 222 | Initial patch by Charles Wohlganger, revised by Terry Jan Reedy. |
Terry Jan Reedy | 8239fd7 | 2017-09-11 16:43:26 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 223 | |
| 224 | bpo-31051: Rearrange condigdialog General tab. |
| 225 | Sort non-Help options into Window (Shell+Editor) and Editor (only). |
| 226 | Leave room for the addition of new options. |
| 227 | Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 228 | |
| 229 | bpo-30617: Add docstrings and tests for outwin subclass of editor. |
| 230 | Move some data and functions from the class to module level. |
| 231 | Patch by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 232 | |
| 233 | bpo-31287: Do not modify tkinter.messagebox in test_configdialog. |
| 234 | Instead, mask it with an instance mock that can be deleted. |
| 235 | Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 236 | |
| 237 | bpo-30781: Use ttk widgets in ConfigDialog pages. |
| 238 | These should especially look better on MacOSX. |
| 239 | Patches by Terry Jan Reedy and Cheryl Sabella. |
| 240 | |
| 241 | bpo-31206: Factor HighPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog. |
| 242 | Patch by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 243 | |
| 244 | bp0-31001: Add tests for configdialog highlight tab. |
| 245 | Patch by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 246 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | 7f06684 | 2017-08-15 19:15:04 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 247 | bpo-31205: Factor KeysPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog. |
| 248 | The slightly modified tests continue to pass. |
| 249 | Patch by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 250 | |
| 251 | bpo-31002: Add tests for configdialog keys tab. |
| 252 | Patch by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 253 | |
| 254 | bpo-19903: Change calltipes to use inspect.signature. |
| 255 | Idlelib.calltips.get_argspec now uses inspect.signature instead of |
| 256 | inspect.getfullargspec, like help() does. This improves the signature |
| 257 | in the call tip in a few different cases, including builtins converted |
| 258 | to provide a signature. A message is added if the object is not |
| 259 | callable, has an invalid signature, or if it has positional-only |
| 260 | parameters. Patch by Louie Lu. |
| 261 | |
| 262 | bop-31083: Add an outline of a TabPage class in configdialog. |
| 263 | Add template as comment. Update existing classes to match outline. |
| 264 | Initial patch by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 265 | |
| 266 | bpo-31050: Factor GenPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog. |
| 267 | The slightly modified tests for the General tab continue to pass. |
| 268 | Patch by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 269 | |
| 270 | bpo-31004: Factor FontPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog. |
| 271 | The slightly modified tests continue to pass. The General test |
| 272 | broken by the switch to ttk.Notebook is fixed. |
| 273 | Patch mostly by Cheryl Sabella. |
| 274 | |
Terry Jan Reedy | c3aa47f | 2017-07-30 06:25:22 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 275 | bpo-30781: IDLE - Use ttk Notebook in ConfigDialog. |
Terry Jan Reedy | 8239fd7 | 2017-09-11 16:43:26 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 276 | This improves navigation by tabbing. |
Terry Jan Reedy | c3aa47f | 2017-07-30 06:25:22 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 277 | Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 278 | |
| 279 | bpo-31060: IDLE - Finish rearranging methods of ConfigDialog. |
| 280 | Grouping methods pertaining to each tab and the buttons will aid |
| 281 | writing tests and improving the tabs and will enable splitting the |
| 282 | groups into classes. |
| 283 | Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 284 | |
| 285 | bpo-30853: IDLE -- Factor a VarTrace class out of ConfigDialog. |
| 286 | Instance tracers manages pairs consisting of a tk variable and a |
| 287 | callback function. When tracing is turned on, setting the variable |
| 288 | calls the function. Test coverage for the new class is 100%. |
| 289 | Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 290 | |
| 291 | bpo-31003: IDLE: Add more tests for General tab. |
| 292 | Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 293 | |
| 294 | bpo-30993: IDLE - Improve configdialog font page and tests. |
| 295 | *In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_font_tab |
| 296 | docstring. Simplify some attribute names. Move set_samples calls to |
| 297 | var_changed_font (idea from Cheryl Sabella). Move related functions to |
| 298 | positions after the create widgets function. |
| 299 | * In test_configdialog: Fix test_font_set so not order dependent. Fix |
| 300 | renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget. Adjust tests for |
| 301 | movement of set_samples call. Add tests for load functions. Put all |
| 302 | font tests in one class and tab indent tests in another. Except for |
| 303 | two lines, these tests completely cover the related functions. |
| 304 | Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. |
| 305 | |
| 306 | bpo-30981: IDLE -- Add more configdialog font page tests. |
| 307 | |

| 334 | |
| 335 | bpo-30779: Factor ConfigChanges class from configdialog, put in config; test. |
| 336 | * In config, put dump test code in a function; run it and unittest in |
| 337 | 'if __name__ == '__main__'. |
| 338 | * Add class config.ConfigChanges based on changes_class_v4.py on bpo issue. |
| 339 | * Add class test_config.ChangesTest, partly using configdialog_tests_v1.py. |
| 340 | * Revise configdialog to use ConfigChanges; see tracker msg297804. |
