240 default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on
|
|
jpayne@68
|
241 tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will
|
|

|
jpayne@68
|
243
|
|
jpayne@68

|
|
jpayne@68
|
250 Python code.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
251
|
|
jpayne@68
|
252 - Restore use of EditorWindow.set_indentation_params(), was dead code since
|
|
jpayne@68
|
253 Autoindent was merged into EditorWindow. This allows IDLE to conform to the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
254 indentation width of a loaded file. (But it still will not switch to tabs
|
|
jpayne@68
|
255 even if the file uses tabs.) Any change in indent width is local to that
|
|
jpayne@68
|
256 window.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
257
|
|
jpayne@68
|
258 - Add Tabnanny check before Run/F5, not just when Checking module.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
259
|
|
jpayne@68
|
260 - If an extension can't be loaded, print warning and skip it instead of
|
|
jpayne@68
|
261 erroring out.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
262
|
|
jpayne@68
|
263 - Improve error handling when .idlerc can't be created (warn and exit).
|
|
jpayne@68
|
264
|
|
jpayne@68
|
265 - The GUI was hanging if the shell window was closed while a raw_input()
|
|
jpayne@68
|
266 was pending. Restored the quit() of the readline() mainloop().

|
|
jpayne@68
|
268
|
|
jpayne@68
|
269 - The remote procedure call module rpc.py can now access data attributes of
|
|
jpayne@68
|
270 remote registered objects. Changes to these attributes are local, however.

273 What's New in IDLE 1.1?
|
|
jpayne@68
|
274 =======================
|
|
jpayne@68
|
275 *Release date: 30-NOV-2004*
|
|
jpayne@68
|
276
|
|
jpayne@68
|
277 - On OpenBSD, terminating IDLE with ctrl-c from the command line caused a
|
|
jpayne@68
|
278 stuck subprocess MainThread because only the SocketThread was exiting.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
279
|
|
jpayne@68
|
280 - Saving a Keyset w/o making changes (by using the "Save as New Custom Key Set"
|
|
jpayne@68
|
281 button) caused IDLE to fail on restart (no new keyset was created in
|
|
jpayne@68
|
282 config-keys.cfg). Also true for Theme/highlights. Python Bug 1064535.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
283
|
|
jpayne@68
|
284 - A change to the linecache.py API caused IDLE to exit when an exception was
|
|
jpayne@68
|
285 raised while running without the subprocess (-n switch). Python Bug 1063840.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
286
|
|
jpayne@68
|
287 - When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was
|
|
jpayne@68
|
288 introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how
|
|
jpayne@68
|
289 far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width
|
|
jpayne@68
|
290 to the reformat width. This has been repaired, and the reformat
|
|
jpayne@68
|
291 width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
292
|
|
jpayne@68
|
293 - Improve keyboard focus binding, especially in Windows menu. Improve
|
|
jpayne@68
|
294 window raising, especially in the Windows menu and in the debugger.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
295 IDLEfork 763524.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
296
|
|
jpayne@68
|
297 - If user passes a non-existent filename on the commandline, just
|
|
jpayne@68
|
298 open a new file, don't raise a dialog. IDLEfork 854928.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
299
|
|
jpayne@68
|
300 - EditorWindow.py was not finding the .chm help file on Windows. Typo
|
|
jpayne@68
|
301 at Rev 1.54. Python Bug 990954
|
|
jpayne@68
|
302
|
|
jpayne@68
|
303 - checking sys.platform for substring 'win' was breaking IDLE docs on Mac
|
|
jpayne@68
|
304 (darwin). Also, Mac Safari browser requires full file:// URIs. SF 900580.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
305
|
|
jpayne@68
|
306 - Redirect the warning stream to the shell during the ScriptBinding check of
|
|
jpayne@68
|
307 user code and format the warning similarly to an exception for both that
|
|
jpayne@68
|
308 check and for runtime warnings raised in the subprocess.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
309
|
|
jpayne@68
|
310 - CodeContext hint pane visibility state is now persistent across sessions.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
311 The pane no longer appears in the shell window. Added capability to limit
|
|
jpayne@68
|
312 extensions to shell window or editor windows. Noam Raphael addition
|
|
jpayne@68
|
313 to Patch 936169.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
314
|
|
jpayne@68
|
315 - Paragraph reformat width is now a configurable parameter in the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
316 Options GUI.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
317
|
|
jpayne@68
|
318 - New Extension: CodeContext. Provides block structuring hints for code
|
|
jpayne@68
|
319 which has scrolled above an edit window. Patch 936169 Noam Raphael.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
320
|
|
jpayne@68
|
321 - If nulls somehow got into the strings in recent-files.lst
|
|
jpayne@68
|
322 EditorWindow.update_recent_files_list() was failing. Python Bug 931336.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
323
|
|
jpayne@68
|
324 - If the normal background is changed via Configure/Highlighting, it will
|
|
jpayne@68
|
325 update immediately, thanks to the previously mentioned patch by Nigel Rowe.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
326
|
|
jpayne@68
|
327 - Add a highlight theme for builtin keywords. Python Patch 805830 Nigel Rowe
|
|
jpayne@68
|
328 This also fixed IDLEfork bug [ 693418 ] Normal text background color not
|
|
jpayne@68
|
329 refreshed and Python bug [897872 ] Unknown color name on HP-UX
|
|
jpayne@68
|
330
|
|
jpayne@68
|
331 - rpc.py:SocketIO - Large modules were generating large pickles when downloaded
|
|
jpayne@68
|
332 to the execution server. The return of the OK response from the subprocess
|
|
jpayne@68
|
333 initialization was interfering and causing the sending socket to be not
|
|
jpayne@68
|
334 ready. Add an IO ready test to fix this. Moved the polling IO ready test
|
|
jpayne@68
|
335 into pollpacket().
|
|
jpayne@68
|
336
|
|
jpayne@68
|
337 - Fix typo in rpc.py, s/b "pickle.PicklingError" not "pickle.UnpicklingError".
|
|
jpayne@68
|
338
|
|
jpayne@68
|
339 - Added a Tk error dialog to run.py inform the user if the subprocess can't
|
|
jpayne@68
|
340 connect to the user GUI process. Added a timeout to the GUI's listening
|
|
jpayne@68
|
341 socket. Added Tk error dialogs to PyShell.py to announce a failure to bind
|
|
jpayne@68
|
342 the port or connect to the subprocess. Clean up error handling during
|
|
jpayne@68
|
343 connection initiation phase. This is an update of Python Patch 778323.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
344
|
|
jpayne@68
|
345 - Print correct exception even if source file changed since shell was
|
|
jpayne@68
|
346 restarted. IDLEfork Patch 869012 Noam Raphael
|
|
jpayne@68
|
347
|
|
jpayne@68
|
348 - Keybindings with the Shift modifier now work correctly. So do bindings which
|
|
jpayne@68
|
349 use the Space key. Limit unmodified user keybindings to the function keys.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
350 Python Bug 775353, IDLEfork Bugs 755647, 761557
|
|
jpayne@68
|
351
|
|
jpayne@68
|
352 - After an exception, run.py was not setting the exception vector. Noam
|
|
jpayne@68
|
353 Raphael suggested correcting this so pdb's postmortem pm() would work.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
354 IDLEfork Patch 844675
|
|
jpayne@68
|
355
|
|
jpayne@68
|
356 - IDLE now does not fail to save the file anymore if the Tk buffer is not a
|
|
jpayne@68
|
357 Unicode string, yet eol_convention is. Python Bugs 774680, 788378
|
|
jpayne@68
|
358
|
|
jpayne@68
|
359 - IDLE didn't start correctly when Python was installed in "Program Files" on
|
|
jpayne@68
|
360 W2K and XP. Python Bugs 780451, 784183
|
|
jpayne@68
|
361
|
|
jpayne@68
|
362 - config-main.def documentation incorrectly referred to idle- instead of
|
|
jpayne@68
|
363 config- filenames. SF 782759 Also added note about .idlerc location.

jpayne@68
|
382
|
|
jpayne@68
|

|
|
jpayne@68
|
384 Python Bug 767794
|
|
jpayne@68
|
385
|
|
jpayne@68
|
386 - Convert Unicode strings from readline to IOBinding.encoding. Also set
|
|
jpayne@68
|
387 sys.std{in|out|err}.encoding, for both the local and the subprocess case.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
388 SF IDLEfork patch 682347.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
389
|
|
jpayne@68
|
390 - Extend AboutDialog.ViewFile() to support file encodings. Make the CREDITS
|
|
jpayne@68
|
391 file Latin-1.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
392
|
|
jpayne@68
|
393 - Updated the About dialog to reflect re-integration into Python. Provide
|
|
jpayne@68
|
394 buttons to display Python's NEWS, License, and Credits, plus additional
|
|
jpayne@68
|
395 buttons for IDLE's README and NEWS.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
396
|
|
jpayne@68
|
397 - TextViewer() now has a third parameter which allows inserting text into the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
398 viewer instead of reading from a file.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
399
|
|
jpayne@68
|
400 - (Created the .../Lib/idlelib directory in the Python CVS, which is a clone of
|
|
jpayne@68
|
401 IDLEfork modified to install in the Python environment. The code in the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
402 interrupt module has been moved to thread.interrupt_main(). )
|
|
jpayne@68
|
403
|
|
jpayne@68
|
404 - Printing the Shell window was failing if it was not saved first SF 748975
|
|
jpayne@68

|
jpayne@68
|
406 - When using the Search in Files dialog, if the user had a selection
|
|
jpayne@68

407 highlighted in his Editor window, insert it into the dialog search field.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
408
|

411 - Update the Windows file list when a file name change occurs
|
|
jpayne@68
|
412
|
|
jpayne@68
|
413 - Change to File / Open Module: always pop up the dialog, using the current
|
|
jpayne@68
|
414 selection as the default value. This is easier to use habitually.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
415
|
|
jpayne@68
|
416 - Avoided a problem with starting the subprocess when 'localhost' doesn't
|
|
jpayne@68
|
417 resolve to the user's loopback interface. SF 747772
|
|
jpayne@68
|
418
|
|
jpayne@68
|
419 - Fixed an issue with highlighted errors never de-colorizing. SF 747677. Also

jpayne@68
|
426 What's New in IDLEfork 0.9b1?
|
|
jpayne@68
|
427 =============================
|
|
jpayne@68
|
428 *Release date: 02-Jun-2003*
|
|
jpayne@68
|
429
|
|
jpayne@68
|
430 - The current working directory of the execution environment (and shell
|
|
jpayne@68
|
431 following completion of execution) is now that of the module being run.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
432
|
|
jpayne@68
|
433 - Added the delete-exitfunc option to config-main.def. (This option is not
|
|
jpayne@68
|
434 included in the Options dialog.) Setting this to True (the default) will
|
|
jpayne@68
|
435 cause IDLE to not run sys.exitfunc/atexit when the subprocess exits.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
436
|
|
jpayne@68
|
437 - IDLE now preserves the line ending codes when editing a file produced on
|
|
jpayne@68
|
438 a different platform. SF 661759, SF 538584
|
|
jpayne@68
|
439
|
|
jpayne@68
|
440 - Reduced default editor font size to 10 point and increased window height
|
|
jpayne@68
|
441 to provide a better initial impression on Windows.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
442
|
|
jpayne@68
|
443 - Options / Fonts/Tabs / Set Base Editor Font: List box was not highlighting
|
|
jpayne@68
|
444 the default font when first installed on Windows. SF 661676
|
|
jpayne@68
|
445
|
|
jpayne@68
|
446 - Added Autosave feature: when user runs code from edit window, if the file
|
|
jpayne@68
|
447 has been modified IDLE will silently save it if Autosave is enabled. The
|
|
jpayne@68
|
448 option is set in the Options dialog, and the default is to prompt the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
449 user to save the file. SF 661318 Bruce Sherwood patch.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
450
|
|
jpayne@68
|
451 - Improved the RESTART annotation in the shell window when the user restarts
|
|
jpayne@68
|
452 the shell while it is generating output. Also improved annotation when user
|
|
jpayne@68
|
453 repeatedly hammers the Ctrl-F6 restart.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
454
|
|
jpayne@68
|
455 - Allow IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory
|
|
jpayne@68
|
456 SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up" - Raphael
|
|
jpayne@68
|
457
|
|
jpayne@68
|
458 - When a module is run from an EditorWindow: if its directory is not in
|
|
jpayne@68
|
459 sys.path, prepend it. This allows the module to import other modules in
|
|
jpayne@68
|
460 the same directory. Do the same for a script run from the command line.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
461
|
|
jpayne@68
|
462 - Correctly restart the subprocess if it is running user code and the user
|
|
jpayne@68
|
463 attempts to run some other module or restarts the shell. Do the same if
|
|
jpayne@68
|
464 the link is broken and it is possible to restart the subprocess and re-
|
|
jpayne@68
|
465 connect to the GUI. SF RFE 661321.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
466
|
|
jpayne@68
|
467 - Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
468 command line.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
469
|
|
jpayne@68
|
470 - Added a -n command line switch to start IDLE without the subprocess.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
471 Removed the Shell menu when running in that mode. Updated help messages.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
472
|
|
jpayne@68
|
473 - Added a comment to the shell startup header to indicate when IDLE is not
|
|
jpayne@68
|
474 using the subprocess.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
475
|
|
jpayne@68
|
476 - Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for
|
|
jpayne@68
|
477 some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
478 debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be
|
|
jpayne@68
|
479 desirable, depending on your point of view. In addition, the traditional
|
|
jpayne@68
|
480 reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.) This is
|
|
jpayne@68
|
481 helpful for developing IDLE using IDLE, because one instance can be used to
|
|
jpayne@68
|
482 edit the code and a separate instance run to test changes. (Multiple
|
|
jpayne@68
|
483 concurrent IDLE instances with subprocesses is a future feature)
|
|
jpayne@68
|
484
|
|
jpayne@68
|
485 - Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII
|
|
jpayne@68
|
486 characters and no source encoding is specified. Done by adding a dialog
|
|
jpayne@68
|
487 'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry
|
|
jpayne@68
|
488 widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
489 Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three
|
|
jpayne@68
|
490 possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show
|
|
jpayne@68
|
491 this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files
|
|
jpayne@68
|
492 with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that
|
|
jpayne@68
|
493 files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the
|
|

jpayne@68
|
495
|
|
jpayne@68
|
496 - Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various
|
|
jpayne@68
|
497 calls to signal.signal().
|
|
jpayne@68
|
498
|
|
jpayne@68
|
499 - Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass
|
|
jpayne@68
|
500 loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension. User code runs
|
|
jpayne@68
|
501 in MainThread, while the RPCServer is handled by SockThread. This is
|
|
jpayne@68
|
502 necessary because Windows doesn't support signals.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
503
|
|
jpayne@68
|
504 - Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread
|
|
jpayne@68
|
505 to raise a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
506
|
|
jpayne@68
|
507 - Attempting to save the shell raised an error related to saving
|
|
jpayne@68
|
508 breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell
|
|
jpayne@68
|
509
|
|
jpayne@68
|
510 - Provide a correct message when 'exit' or 'quit' are entered at the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
511 IDLE command prompt SF 695861
|
|
jpayne@68
|
512
|
|
jpayne@68
|
513 - Eliminate extra blank line in shell output caused by not flushing
|
|
jpayne@68
|
514 stdout when user code ends with an unterminated print. SF 695861
|
|
jpayne@68
|
515
|
|
jpayne@68
|
516 - Moved responsibility for exception formatting (i.e. pruning IDLE internal
|
|
jpayne@68
|
517 calls) out of rpc.py into the client and server.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
518
|
|
jpayne@68
|
519 - Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O
|
|
jpayne@68
|
520
|
|
jpayne@68
|
521 - Handle subprocess interrupt with an RPC message.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
522
|
|
jpayne@68
|
523 - Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that)
|
|
jpayne@68
|
524
|
|
jpayne@68
|
525 - Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
526 exception formatting to the subprocess.

|
|
jpayne@68
|
565
|
|
jpayne@68
|
566 - Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the
|

632 What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 1?
|
|
jpayne@68
|
633 ===================================
|
|
jpayne@68
|
634 *Release date: 31-Dec-2002*
|
|
jpayne@68
|
635
|
|
jpayne@68
|
636 - First release of major new functionality. For further details refer to
|
|
jpayne@68
|
637 Idle-dev and/or the Sourceforge CVS.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
638
|
|
jpayne@68
|
639 - Adapted to the Mac platform.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
640
|
|
jpayne@68
|
641 - Overhauled the IDLE startup options and revised the idle -h help message,
|
|
jpayne@68
|
642 which provides details of command line usage.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
643
|
|
jpayne@68
|
644 - Multiple bug fixes and usability enhancements.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
645
|
|
jpayne@68
|
646 - Introduced the new RPC implementation, which includes a debugger. The output
|
|
jpayne@68
|
647 of user code is to the shell, and the shell may be used to inspect the
|
|
jpayne@68
|
648 environment after the run has finished. (In version 0.8.1 the shell
|
|
jpayne@68
|
649 environment was separate from the environment of the user code.)
|
|
jpayne@68
|
650
|
|
jpayne@68
|
651 - Introduced the configuration GUI and a new About dialog.
|
|
jpayne@68
|
652
|
|
jpayne@68
|
653 - Removed David Scherer's Remote Procedure Call code and replaced with Guido
|
|
jpayne@68
|
654 van Rossum's. GvR code has support for the IDLE debugger and uses the shell
|
|
jpayne@68
|
655 to inspect the environment of code Run from an Edit window. Files removed:
|
|
jpayne@68
|
656 ExecBinding.py, loader.py, protocol.py, Remote.py, spawn.py
|
