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.
