- 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
