(For a more detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
New in IDLE 0.5 (2/14/2000)
-------------------------
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 (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
- XXX much more?!
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.
