As you read on you go back to the dark ages of IDLE's history. +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 IDLEfork 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. + + + +IDLEfork 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> ) + + + IDLE 0.5 - February 2000 - Release Notes ---------------------------------------- diff --git a/Lib/idlelib/NEWS.txt b/Lib/idlelib/NEWS.txt index 11596fa..4f88250 100644 --- a/Lib/idlelib/NEWS.txt +++ b/Lib/idlelib/NEWS.txt @@ -1,11 +1,38 @@ -+++++++++++++ -IDLEfork NEWS -+++++++++++++ +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.
