bpo-33924: Change mainmenu.menudefs key 'windows' to 'window'.
Every other menudef key is the lowercase version of the
corresponding main menu entry (in this case, 'Window').
bpo-33906: Rename idlelib.windows as window
Match Window on the main menu and remove last plural module name.
Change imports, test, and attribute references to match new name.
bpo-33917: Fix and document idlelib/idle_test/template.py.
The revised file compiles, runs, and tests OK. idle_test/README.txt
explains how to use it to create new IDLE test files.
bpo-33904: In rstrip module, rename class RstripExtension as Rstrip.
bpo-33907: For consistency and clarity, rename calltip objects.
Module calltips and its class CallTips are now calltip and Calltip.
In module calltip_w, class CallTip is now CalltipWindow.
bpo-33855: Minimally test all IDLE modules.
Standardize the test file format. Add missing test files that import
the tested module and perform at least one test. Check and record the
coverage of each test.
bpo-33856: Add 'help' to Shell's initial welcome message.
What's New in IDLE 3.7.0 (since 3.6.0)
Released on 2018-06-27
======================================
bpo-33656: On Windows, add API call saying that tk scales for DPI.
On Windows 8.1+ or 10, with DPI compatibility properties of the Python
binary unchanged, and a monitor resolution greater than 96 DPI, this
should make text and lines sharper and some colors brighter.
On other systems, it should have no effect. If you have a custom theme,
you may want to adjust a color or two. If perchance it make text worse
on your monitor, you can disable the ctypes.OleDLL call near the top of
pyshell.py and report the problem on python-list or idle-dev@python.org.
bpo-33768: Clicking on a context line moves that line to the top
of the editor window.
bpo-33763: Replace the code context label widget with a text widget.
bpo-33664: Scroll IDLE editor text by lines.
(Previously, the mouse wheel and scrollbar slider moved text by a fixed
number of pixels, resulting in partial lines at the top of the editor
box.) This change also applies to the shell and grep output windows,
but currently not to read-only text views.
bpo-33679: Enable theme-specific color configuration for Code Context.
(Previously, there was one code context foreground and background font
color setting, default or custom, on the extensions tab, that applied
to all themes.) For built-in themes, the foreground is the same as
normal text and the background is a contrasting gray. Context colors for
custom themes are set on the Hightlights tab along with other colors.
When one starts IDLE from a console and loads a custom theme without
definitions for 'context', one will see a warning message on the
console.
bpo-33642: Display up to maxlines non-blank lines for Code Context.
If there is no current context, show a single blank line. (Previously,
the Code Contex had numlines lines, usually with some blank.) The use
of a new option, 'maxlines' (default 15), avoids possible interference
with user settings of the old option, 'numlines' (default 3).
bpo-33628: Cleanup codecontext.py and its test.
bpo-32831: Add docstrings and tests for codecontext.py.
Coverage is 100%. Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
bpo-33564: Code context now recognizes async as a block opener.
bpo-21474: Update word/identifier definition from ascii to unicode.
In text and entry boxes, this affects selection by double-click,
movement left/right by control-left/right, and deletion left/right
by control-BACKSPACE/DEL.
bpo-33204: Consistently color invalid string prefixes.
A 'u' string prefix cannot be paired with either 'r' or 'f'.
IDLE now consistently colors as much of the prefix, starting at the
right, as is valid. Revise and extend colorizer test.
bpo-32984: Set __file__ while running a startup file.
Like Python, IDLE optionally runs 1 startup file in the Shell window
before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE,
option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or
PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup
file name before running the file and unsets it before the first
prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n
option.
bpo-32940: Replace StringTranslatePseudoMapping with faster code.
bpo-32916: Change 'str' to 'code' in idlelib.pyparse and users.
bpo-32905: Remove unused code in pyparse module.
bpo-32874: IDLE - add pyparse tests with 97% coverage.
