+- Issue 15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process)
+ before closing the debugger window (running in the IDLE process).
+ This prevents the RuntimeErrors that were being caught and ignored.

+- Issue #24455: Prevent IDLE from hanging when a) closing the shell while the
+ debugger is active (15347); b) closing the debugger with the [X] button
+ (15348); and c) activating the debugger when already active (24455).
+ The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes.
+ 1. Suspend and resume the gui.interaction method with the tcl vwait
+ mechanism intended for this purpose (instead of root.mainloop & .quit).
+ 2. In gui.run, allow any existing interaction to terminate first.

- Issue #24820: IDLE now has an 'IDLE Dark' built-in text color theme.
It is more or less IDLE Classic inverted, with a cobalt blue background.
Strings, comments, keywords, ... are still green, red, orange, ... .
- Selecting it displays the following warning and solution.
- "IDLE Dark is new in October, 2015. Trying to run earlier versions
- of IDLE with it selected will disable colorizing, or worse.
- If you might ever run an earlier release of IDLE, then before

+ To use it with IDLEs released before November 2015, hit the
