(XXX Only used by Stack -Viewer menu, not by the debugger.) - -- Format paragraph now recognizes Python block comments and reformats -them correctly (MH) - -- New version of pyclbr.py parses top-level functions and understands -much more of Python's syntax; this is reflected in the class and path -browsers (TP) - -- Much better auto-indent; knows how to indent the insides of -multi-line statements (TP) - -- Call tip window pops up when you type the name of a known function -followed by an open parenthesis. Hit ESC or click elsewhere in the -window to close the tip window (MH) - -- Comment out region now inserts ## to make it stand out more (TP) - -- New path and class browsers based on a tree widget that looks -familiar to Windows users - -- Reworked script running commands to be more intuitive: I/O now -always goes to the *Python Shell* window, and raw_input() works -correctly. You use F5 to import/reload a module: this adds the module -name to the __main__ namespace. You use Control-F5 to run a script: -this runs the script *in* the __main__ namespace. The latter also -sets sys.argv[] to the script name - -New in IDLE 0.4 (4/7/99) ------------------------- - -Most important change: a new menu entry "File -> Path browser", shows -a 4-column hierarchical browser which lets you browse sys.path, -directories, modules, and classes. Yes, it's a superset of the Class -browser menu entry. There's also a new internal module, -MultiScrolledLists.py, which provides the framework for this dialog. - -New in IDLE 0.3 (2/17/99) -------------------------- - -Most important changes: - -- Enabled support for running a module, with or without the debugger. -Output goes to a new window. Pressing F5 in a module is effectively a -reload of that module; Control-F5 loads it under the debugger. - -- Re-enable tearing off the Windows menu, and make a torn-off Windows -menu update itself whenever a window is opened or closed. - -- Menu items can now be have a checkbox (when the menu label starts -with "!"); use this for the Debugger and "Auto-open stack viewer" -(was: JIT stack viewer) menu items. - -- Added a Quit button to the Debugger API. - -- The current directory is explicitly inserted into sys.path. - -- Fix the debugger (when using Python 1.5.2b2) to use canonical -filenames for breakpoints, so these actually work. (There's still a -lot of work to be done to the management of breakpoints in the -debugger though.) - -- Closing a window that is still colorizing now actually works. - -- Allow dragging of the separator between the two list boxes in the -class browser. - -- Bind ESC to "close window" of the debugger, stack viewer and class -browser. It removes the selection highlighting in regular text -windows. (These are standard Windows conventions.) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - -New in IDLE 0.2 (1/8/99) ------------------------- - -Lots of changes; here are the highlights: - -General: - -- You can now write and configure your own IDLE extension modules; see -extend.txt. - - -File menu: - -The command to open the Python shell window is now in the File menu. - - -Edit menu: - -New Find dialog with more options; replace dialog; find in files dialog. - -Commands to tabify or untabify a region. - -Command to format a paragraph. - - -Debug menu: - -JIT (Just-In-Time) stack viewer toggle -- if set, the stack viewer -automaticall pops up when you get a traceback. - -Windows menu: - -Zoom height -- make the window full height. - - -Help menu: - -The help text now show up in a regular window so you can search and -even edit it if you like. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - -IDLE 0.1 was distributed with the Python 1.5.2b1 release on 12/22/98. - -====================================================================== |
