*Release date: XX-XXX-2003*
+- Interrupt the subprocess if it is running when the user attempts to
+ restart the shell, run a module, or exit.
+
+- Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the
+ command line.
+
+- Added a comment to the shell startup header to indicate when IDLE is not
+ using the subprocess. (For now, set PyShell.use_subprocess to False to run
+ in this mode.)
+
+- Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for
+ some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the
+ debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be
+ desirable, depending on your point of view. In addition, the traditional
+ reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.)
