IDLE History
============
This file contains the release messages for previous IDLE releases.
As you read on you go back to the dark ages of IDLE's history.
What's New in IDLEfork 0.8.1?
=============================
*Release date: 22-Jul-2001*
- New tarball released as a result of the 'revitalisation' of the IDLEfork
project.
- This release requires python 2.1 or better. Compatibility with earlier
versions of python (especially ancient ones like 1.5x) is no longer a
priority in IDLEfork development.
- This release is based on a merging of the earlier IDLE fork work with current
cvs IDLE (post IDLE version 0.8), with some minor additional coding by Kurt
B. Kaiser and Stephen M. Gava.
- This release is basically functional but also contains some known breakages,
particularly with running things from the shell window. Also the debugger is
not working, but I believe this was the case with the previous IDLE fork
release (0.7.1) as well.
- This release is being made now to mark the point at which IDLEfork is
launching into a new stage of development.
- IDLEfork CVS will now be branched to enable further development and
exploration of the two "execution in a remote process" patches submitted by
David Scherer (David's is currently in IDLEfork) and GvR, while stabilisation
and development of less heavyweight improvements (like user customisation)
can continue on the trunk.
What's New in IDLEfork 0.7.1?
==============================
*Release date: 15-Aug-2000*
- First project tarball released.
- This was the first release of IDLE fork, which at this stage was a
combination of IDLE 0.5 and the VPython idle fork, with additional changes
coded by David Scherer, Peter Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley.
IDLEfork 0.7.1 - 29 May 2000
-----------------------------
David Scherer <dscherer@cmu.edu>
- This is a modification of the CVS version of IDLE 0.5, updated as of
2000-03-09. It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks, you
get to keep both pieces.
- If you have problems or suggestions, you should either contact me or post to
the list at http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev (making it clear
that you are using this modified version of IDLE).
- Changes:
- The ExecBinding module, a replacement for ScriptBinding, executes programs
in a separate process, piping standard I/O through an RPC mechanism to an
OnDemandOutputWindow in IDLE. It supports executing unnamed programs
(through a temporary file). It does not yet support debugging.
- When running programs with ExecBinding, tracebacks will be clipped to
exclude system modules. If, however, a system module calls back into the
user program, that part of the traceback will be shown.
