was pending. Restored the quit() of the readline() mainloop().

- The remote procedure call module rpc.py can now access data attributes of
remote registered objects. Changes to these attributes are local, however.
What's New in IDLE 1.1?
=======================
*Release date: 30-NOV-2004*
- On OpenBSD, terminating IDLE with ctrl-c from the command line caused a
stuck subprocess MainThread because only the SocketThread was exiting.
- Saving a Keyset w/o making changes (by using the "Save as New Custom Key Set"
button) caused IDLE to fail on restart (no new keyset was created in
config-keys.cfg). Also true for Theme/highlights. Python Bug 1064535.
- A change to the linecache.py API caused IDLE to exit when an exception was
raised while running without the subprocess (-n switch). Python Bug 1063840.
- When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was
introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how
far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width
to the reformat width. This has been repaired, and the reformat
width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines.
- Improve keyboard focus binding, especially in Windows menu. Improve
window raising, especially in the Windows menu and in the debugger.
IDLEfork 763524.
- If user passes a non-existent filename on the commandline, just
open a new file, don't raise a dialog. IDLEfork 854928.
- EditorWindow.py was not finding the .chm help file on Windows. Typo
at Rev 1.54. Python Bug 990954
- checking sys.platform for substring 'win' was breaking IDLE docs on Mac
(darwin). Also, Mac Safari browser requires full file:// URIs. SF 900580.
- Redirect the warning stream to the shell during the ScriptBinding check of
user code and format the warning similarly to an exception for both that
check and for runtime warnings raised in the subprocess.
- CodeContext hint pane visibility state is now persistent across sessions.
The pane no longer appears in the shell window. Added capability to limit
extensions to shell window or editor windows. Noam Raphael addition
to Patch 936169.
- Paragraph reformat width is now a configurable parameter in the
Options GUI.
- New Extension: CodeContext. Provides block structuring hints for code
which has scrolled above an edit window. Patch 936169 Noam Raphael.
- If nulls somehow got into the strings in recent-files.lst
EditorWindow.update_recent_files_list() was failing. Python Bug 931336.
- If the normal background is changed via Configure/Highlighting, it will
update immediately, thanks to the previously mentioned patch by Nigel Rowe.
- Add a highlight theme for builtin keywords. Python Patch 805830 Nigel Rowe
This also fixed IDLEfork bug [ 693418 ] Normal text background color not
refreshed and Python bug [897872 ] Unknown color name on HP-UX
- rpc.py:SocketIO - Large modules were generating large pickles when downloaded
to the execution server. The return of the OK response from the subprocess
initialization was interfering and causing the sending socket to be not
ready. Add an IO ready test to fix this. Moved the polling IO ready test
into pollpacket().
- Fix typo in rpc.py, s/b "pickle.PicklingError" not "pickle.UnpicklingError".
- Added a Tk error dialog to run.py inform the user if the subprocess can't
connect to the user GUI process. Added a timeout to the GUI's listening
socket. Added Tk error dialogs to PyShell.py to announce a failure to bind
the port or connect to the subprocess. Clean up error handling during
connection initiation phase. This is an update of Python Patch 778323.
- Print correct exception even if source file changed since shell was
restarted. IDLEfork Patch 869012 Noam Raphael
- Keybindings with the Shift modifier now work correctly. So do bindings which
use the Space key. Limit unmodified user keybindings to the function keys.
Python Bug 775353, IDLEfork Bugs 755647, 761557
- After an exception, run.py was not setting the exception vector. Noam
Raphael suggested correcting this so pdb's postmortem pm() would work.
IDLEfork Patch 844675
- IDLE now does not fail to save the file anymore if the Tk buffer is not a
Unicode string, yet eol_convention is. Python Bugs 774680, 788378
- IDLE didn't start correctly when Python was installed in "Program Files" on
W2K and XP. Python Bugs 780451, 784183
- config-main.def documentation incorrectly referred to idle- instead of
config- filenames. SF 782759 Also added note about .idlerc location.
