jpayne@68 1 IDLE History
jpayne@68 2 ============
jpayne@68 3
jpayne@68 4 This file contains the release messages for previous IDLE releases.
jpayne@68 5 As you read on you go back to the dark ages of IDLE's history.
jpayne@68 6
jpayne@68 7
jpayne@68 8 What's New in IDLEfork 0.8.1?
jpayne@68 9 =============================
jpayne@68 10
jpayne@68 11 *Release date: 22-Jul-2001*
jpayne@68 12
jpayne@68 13 - New tarball released as a result of the 'revitalisation' of the IDLEfork
jpayne@68 14 project.
jpayne@68 15
jpayne@68 16 - This release requires python 2.1 or better. Compatibility with earlier
jpayne@68 17 versions of python (especially ancient ones like 1.5x) is no longer a
jpayne@68 18 priority in IDLEfork development.
jpayne@68 19
jpayne@68 20 - This release is based on a merging of the earlier IDLE fork work with current
jpayne@68 21 cvs IDLE (post IDLE version 0.8), with some minor additional coding by Kurt
jpayne@68 22 B. Kaiser and Stephen M. Gava.
jpayne@68 23
jpayne@68 24 - This release is basically functional but also contains some known breakages,
jpayne@68 25 particularly with running things from the shell window. Also the debugger is
jpayne@68 26 not working, but I believe this was the case with the previous IDLE fork
jpayne@68 27 release (0.7.1) as well.
jpayne@68 28
jpayne@68 29 - This release is being made now to mark the point at which IDLEfork is
jpayne@68 30 launching into a new stage of development.
jpayne@68 31
jpayne@68 32 - IDLEfork CVS will now be branched to enable further development and
jpayne@68 33 exploration of the two "execution in a remote process" patches submitted by
jpayne@68 34 David Scherer (David's is currently in IDLEfork) and GvR, while stabilisation
jpayne@68 35 and development of less heavyweight improvements (like user customisation)
jpayne@68 36 can continue on the trunk.
jpayne@68 37
jpayne@68 38
jpayne@68 39 What's New in IDLEfork 0.7.1?
jpayne@68 40 ==============================
jpayne@68 41
jpayne@68 42 *Release date: 15-Aug-2000*
jpayne@68 43
jpayne@68 44 - First project tarball released.
jpayne@68 45
jpayne@68 46 - This was the first release of IDLE fork, which at this stage was a
jpayne@68 47 combination of IDLE 0.5 and the VPython idle fork, with additional changes
jpayne@68 48 coded by David Scherer, Peter Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley.
jpayne@68 49
jpayne@68 50
jpayne@68 51
jpayne@68 52 IDLEfork 0.7.1 - 29 May 2000
jpayne@68 53 -----------------------------
jpayne@68 54
jpayne@68 55 David Scherer <dscherer@cmu.edu>
jpayne@68 56
jpayne@68 57 - This is a modification of the CVS version of IDLE 0.5, updated as of
jpayne@68 58 2000-03-09. It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks, you
jpayne@68 59 get to keep both pieces.
jpayne@68 60
jpayne@68 61 - If you have problems or suggestions, you should either contact me or post to
jpayne@68 62 the list at http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev (making it clear
jpayne@68 63 that you are using this modified version of IDLE).
jpayne@68 64
jpayne@68 65 - Changes:
jpayne@68 66
jpayne@68 67 - The ExecBinding module, a replacement for ScriptBinding, executes programs
jpayne@68 68 in a separate process, piping standard I/O through an RPC mechanism to an
jpayne@68 69 OnDemandOutputWindow in IDLE. It supports executing unnamed programs
jpayne@68 70 (through a temporary file). It does not yet support debugging.
jpayne@68 71
jpayne@68 72 - When running programs with ExecBinding, tracebacks will be clipped to
jpayne@68 73 exclude system modules. If, however, a system module calls back into the
jpayne@68 74 user program, that part of the traceback will be shown.
jpayne@68 75
jpayne@68 76 - The OnDemandOutputWindow class has been improved. In particular, it now
jpayne@68 77 supports a readline() function used to implement user input, and a
jpayne@68 78 scroll_clear() operation which is used to hide the output of a previous run
jpayne@68 79 by scrolling it out of the window.
jpayne@68 80
jpayne@68 81 - Startup behavior has been changed. By default IDLE starts up with just a
jpayne@68 82 blank editor window, rather than an interactive window. Opening a file in
jpayne@68 83 such a blank window replaces the (nonexistent) contents of that window
jpayne@68 84 instead of creating another window. Because of the need to have a
jpayne@68 85 well-known port for the ExecBinding protocol, only one copy of IDLE can be
jpayne@68 86 running. Additional invocations use the RPC mechanism to report their
jpayne@68 87 command line arguments to the copy already running.
jpayne@68 88
jpayne@68 89 - The menus have been reorganized. In particular, the excessively large
jpayne@68 90 'edit' menu has been split up into 'edit', 'format', and 'run'.
jpayne@68 91
jpayne@68 92 - 'Python Documentation' now works on Windows, if the win32api module is
jpayne@68 93 present.
jpayne@68 94
jpayne@68 95 - A few key bindings have been changed: F1 now loads Python Documentation
jpayne@68 96 instead of the IDLE help; shift-TAB is now a synonym for unindent.
jpayne@68 97
jpayne@68 98 - New modules:
jpayne@68 99
jpayne@68 100 ExecBinding.py Executes program through loader
jpayne@68 101 loader.py Bootstraps user program
jpayne@68 102 protocol.py RPC protocol
jpayne@68 103 Remote.py User-process interpreter
jpayne@68 104 spawn.py OS-specific code to start programs
jpayne@68 105
jpayne@68 106 - Files modified:
jpayne@68 107
jpayne@68 108 autoindent.py ( bindings tweaked )
jpayne@68 109 bindings.py ( menus reorganized )
jpayne@68 110 config.txt ( execbinding enabled )
jpayne@68 111 editorwindow.py ( new menus, fixed 'Python Documentation' )
jpayne@68 112 filelist.py ( hook for "open in same window" )
jpayne@68 113 formatparagraph.py ( bindings tweaked )
jpayne@68 114 idle.bat ( removed absolute pathname )
jpayne@68 115 idle.pyw ( weird bug due to import with same name? )
jpayne@68 116 iobinding.py ( open in same window, EOL convention )
jpayne@68 117 keydefs.py ( bindings tweaked )
jpayne@68 118 outputwindow.py ( readline, scroll_clear, etc )
jpayne@68 119 pyshell.py ( changed startup behavior )
jpayne@68 120 readme.txt ( <Recursion on file with id=1234567> )
jpayne@68 121
jpayne@68 122
jpayne@68 123
jpayne@68 124 IDLE 0.5 - February 2000 - Release Notes
jpayne@68 125 ----------------------------------------
jpayne@68 126
jpayne@68 127 This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based
jpayne@68 128 IDE for Python.
jpayne@68 129
jpayne@68 130 (For a more detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.)
jpayne@68 131
jpayne@68 132 FEATURES
jpayne@68 133
jpayne@68 134 IDLE has the following features:
jpayne@68 135
jpayne@68 136 - coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (i.e. Tcl/Tk)
jpayne@68 137
jpayne@68 138 - cross-platform: works on Windows and Unix (on the Mac, there are
jpayne@68 139 currently problems with Tcl/Tk)
jpayne@68 140
jpayne@68 141 - multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing
jpayne@68 142 and many other features, e.g. smart indent and call tips
jpayne@68 143
jpayne@68 144 - Python shell window (a.k.a. interactive interpreter)
jpayne@68 145
jpayne@68 146 - debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view and step)
jpayne@68 147
jpayne@68 148 USAGE
jpayne@68 149
jpayne@68 150 The main program is in the file "idle.py"; on Unix, you should be able
jpayne@68 151 to run it by typing "./idle.py" to your shell. On Windows, you can
jpayne@68 152 run it by double-clicking it; you can use idle.pyw to avoid popping up
jpayne@68 153 a DOS console. If you want to pass command line arguments on Windows,
jpayne@68 154 use the batch file idle.bat.
jpayne@68 155
jpayne@68 156 Command line arguments: files passed on the command line are executed,
jpayne@68 157 not opened for editing, unless you give the -e command line option.
jpayne@68 158 Try "./idle.py -h" to see other command line options.
jpayne@68 159
jpayne@68 160 IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with a
jpayne@68 161 Python 1.5.2 distribution. (An older version of IDLE is distributed
jpayne@68 162 with Python 1.5.2; you can drop this version on top of it.)
jpayne@68 163
jpayne@68 164 COPYRIGHT
jpayne@68 165
jpayne@68 166 IDLE is covered by the standard Python copyright notice
jpayne@68 167 (http://www.python.org/doc/Copyright.html).
jpayne@68 168
jpayne@68 169
jpayne@68 170 New in IDLE 0.5 (2/15/2000)
jpayne@68 171 ---------------------------
jpayne@68 172
jpayne@68 173 Tons of stuff, much of it contributed by Tim Peters and Mark Hammond:
jpayne@68 174
jpayne@68 175 - Status bar, displaying current line/column (Moshe Zadka).
jpayne@68 176
jpayne@68 177 - Better stack viewer, using tree widget. (XXX Only used by Stack
jpayne@68 178 Viewer menu, not by the debugger.)
jpayne@68 179
jpayne@68 180 - Format paragraph now recognizes Python block comments and reformats
jpayne@68 181 them correctly (MH)
jpayne@68 182
jpayne@68 183 - New version of pyclbr.py parses top-level functions and understands
jpayne@68 184 much more of Python's syntax; this is reflected in the class and path
jpayne@68 185 browsers (TP)
jpayne@68 186
jpayne@68 187 - Much better auto-indent; knows how to indent the insides of
jpayne@68 188 multi-line statements (TP)
jpayne@68 189
jpayne@68 190 - Call tip window pops up when you type the name of a known function
jpayne@68 191 followed by an open parenthesis. Hit ESC or click elsewhere in the
jpayne@68 192 window to close the tip window (MH)
jpayne@68 193
jpayne@68 194 - Comment out region now inserts ## to make it stand out more (TP)
jpayne@68 195
jpayne@68 196 - New path and class browsers based on a tree widget that looks
jpayne@68 197 familiar to Windows users
jpayne@68 198
jpayne@68 199 - Reworked script running commands to be more intuitive: I/O now
jpayne@68 200 always goes to the *Python Shell* window, and raw_input() works
jpayne@68 201 correctly. You use F5 to import/reload a module: this adds the module
jpayne@68 202 name to the __main__ namespace. You use Control-F5 to run a script:
jpayne@68 203 this runs the script *in* the __main__ namespace. The latter also
jpayne@68 204 sets sys.argv[] to the script name
jpayne@68 205
jpayne@68 206
jpayne@68 207 New in IDLE 0.4 (4/7/99)
jpayne@68 208 ------------------------
jpayne@68 209
jpayne@68 210 Most important change: a new menu entry "File -> Path browser", shows
jpayne@68 211 a 4-column hierarchical browser which lets you browse sys.path,
jpayne@68 212 directories, modules, and classes. Yes, it's a superset of the Class
jpayne@68 213 browser menu entry. There's also a new internal module,
jpayne@68 214 MultiScrolledLists.py, which provides the framework for this dialog.
jpayne@68 215
jpayne@68 216
jpayne@68 217 New in IDLE 0.3 (2/17/99)
jpayne@68 218 -------------------------
jpayne@68 219
jpayne@68 220 Most important changes:
jpayne@68 221
jpayne@68 222 - Enabled support for running a module, with or without the debugger.
jpayne@68 223 Output goes to a new window. Pressing F5 in a module is effectively a
jpayne@68 224 reload of that module; Control-F5 loads it under the debugger.
jpayne@68 225
jpayne@68 226 - Re-enable tearing off the Windows menu, and make a torn-off Windows
jpayne@68 227 menu update itself whenever a window is opened or closed.
jpayne@68 228
jpayne@68 229 - Menu items can now be have a checkbox (when the menu label starts
jpayne@68 230 with "!"); use this for the Debugger and "Auto-open stack viewer"
jpayne@68 231 (was: JIT stack viewer) menu items.
jpayne@68 232
jpayne@68 233 - Added a Quit button to the Debugger API.
jpayne@68 234
jpayne@68 235 - The current directory is explicitly inserted into sys.path.
jpayne@68 236
jpayne@68 237 - Fix the debugger (when using Python 1.5.2b2) to use canonical
jpayne@68 238 filenames for breakpoints, so these actually work. (There's still a
jpayne@68 239 lot of work to be done to the management of breakpoints in the
jpayne@68 240 debugger though.)
jpayne@68 241
jpayne@68 242 - Closing a window that is still colorizing now actually works.
jpayne@68 243
jpayne@68 244 - Allow dragging of the separator between the two list boxes in the
jpayne@68 245 class browser.
jpayne@68 246
jpayne@68 247 - Bind ESC to "close window" of the debugger, stack viewer and class
jpayne@68 248 browser. It removes the selection highlighting in regular text
jpayne@68 249 windows. (These are standard Windows conventions.)
jpayne@68 250
jpayne@68 251
jpayne@68 252 New in IDLE 0.2 (1/8/99)
jpayne@68 253 ------------------------
jpayne@68 254
jpayne@68 255 Lots of changes; here are the highlights:
jpayne@68 256
jpayne@68 257 General:
jpayne@68 258
jpayne@68 259 - You can now write and configure your own IDLE extension modules; see
jpayne@68 260 extend.txt.
jpayne@68 261
jpayne@68 262
jpayne@68 263 File menu:
jpayne@68 264
jpayne@68 265 The command to open the Python shell window is now in the File menu.
jpayne@68 266
jpayne@68 267
jpayne@68 268 Edit menu:
jpayne@68 269
jpayne@68 270 New Find dialog with more options; replace dialog; find in files dialog.
jpayne@68 271
jpayne@68 272 Commands to tabify or untabify a region.
jpayne@68 273
jpayne@68 274 Command to format a paragraph.
jpayne@68 275
jpayne@68 276
jpayne@68 277 Debug menu:
jpayne@68 278
jpayne@68 279 JIT (Just-In-Time) stack viewer toggle -- if set, the stack viewer
jpayne@68 280 automaticall pops up when you get a traceback.
jpayne@68 281
jpayne@68 282 Windows menu:
jpayne@68 283
jpayne@68 284 Zoom height -- make the window full height.
jpayne@68 285
jpayne@68 286
jpayne@68 287 Help menu:
jpayne@68 288
jpayne@68 289 The help text now show up in a regular window so you can search and
jpayne@68 290 even edit it if you like.
jpayne@68 291
jpayne@68 292
jpayne@68 293
jpayne@68 294 IDLE 0.1 was distributed with the Python 1.5.2b1 release on 12/22/98.
jpayne@68 295
jpayne@68 296 ======================================================================
