-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-New in IDLE 0.5 (2/15/2000)
--------------------------
-
-Tons of stuff, much of it contributed by Tim Peters and Mark Hammond:
-
-- Status bar, displaying current line/column (Moshe Zadka).
-
-- Better stack viewer, using tree widget. (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.
