+What's New in IDLE 0.9b1+?
+===================================
+
+*Release date: XX-XXX-2003*
+
+- (Created the .../Lib/idlelib directory in the Python CVS, which is a clone of
+  IDLEfork modified to install in the Python environment.  The code in the
+  interrupt module has been moved to thread.interrupt_main(). )
+
+- Printing the Shell window was failing if it was not saved first SF 748975
+
+- When using the Search in Files dialog, if the user had a selection
+  highlighted in his Editor window, insert it into the dialog search field.
+
+- The Python Shell entry was disappearing from the Windows menu.
+
+- Update the Windows file list when a file name change occurs
+
+- Change to File / Open Module: always pop up the dialog, using the current
+  selection as the default value.  This is easier to use habitually.
+
+- Avoided a problem with starting the subprocess when 'localhost' doesn't
+  resolve to the user's loopback interface.  SF 747772
+
+- Fixed an issue with highlighted errors never de-colorizing.  SF 747677.  Also
+  improved notification of Tabnanny Token Error.
+
+- File / New will by default save in the directory of the Edit window from
+  which it was initiated.  SF 748973 Guido van Rossum patch.

-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. Compatability 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 IDLE fork 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.

-IDLE fork 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.
-
-  - The OnDemandOutputWindow class has been improved.  In particular, it now
-    supports a readline() function used to implement user input, and a
-    scroll_clear() operation which is used to hide the output of a previous run
-    by scrolling it out of the window.
-
-  - Startup behavior has been changed.  By default IDLE starts up with just a
-    blank editor window, rather than an interactive window.  Opening a file in
-    such a blank window replaces the (nonexistent) contents of that window
-    instead of creating another window.  Because of the need to have a
-    well-known port for the ExecBinding protocol, only one copy of IDLE can be
-    running.  Additional invocations use the RPC mechanism to report their
-    command line arguments to the copy already running.
-
-  - The menus have been reorganized.  In particular, the excessively large
-    'edit' menu has been split up into 'edit', 'format', and 'run'.
-
-  - 'Python Documentation' now works on Windows, if the win32api module is
-    present.
-
-  - A few key bindings have been changed: F1 now loads Python Documentation
-    instead of the IDLE help; shift-TAB is now a synonym for unindent.
-
-- New modules:
-  
-  ExecBinding.py         Executes program through loader
-  loader.py              Bootstraps user program
-  protocol.py            RPC protocol
-  Remote.py              User-process interpreter
-  spawn.py               OS-specific code to start programs
-
-- Files modified:
-
-  autoindent.py          ( bindings tweaked )
-  bindings.py            ( menus reorganized )
-  config.txt             ( execbinding enabled )
-  editorwindow.py        ( new menus, fixed 'Python Documentation' )
-  filelist.py            ( hook for "open in same window" )
-  formatparagraph.py     ( bindings tweaked )
-  idle.bat               ( removed absolute pathname )
-  idle.pyw               ( weird bug due to import with same name? )
-  iobinding.py           ( open in same window, EOL convention )
-  keydefs.py             ( bindings tweaked )
-  outputwindow.py        ( readline, scroll_clear, etc )
-  pyshell.py             ( changed startup behavior )
-  readme.txt             ( <Recursion on file with id=1234567> )
