113 |
|
---|
114 | - Honor the "Cancel" action in the save dialog (Debian bug #299092)
|
---|
115 |
|
---|
116 | - Some syntax errors were being caught by tokenize during the tabnanny
|
---|
117 | check, resulting in obscure error messages. Do the syntax check
|
---|
118 | first. Bug 1562716, 1562719
|
---|
119 |
|
---|
120 | - IDLE's version number takes a big jump to match the version number of
|
---|

|
---|
200 |
|
---|
201 | *Release date: 05-APR-2006*
|
---|
202 |
|
---|
203 | - Patch #1162825: Support non-ASCII characters in IDLE window titles.
|
---|
204 |
|
---|
205 | - Source file f.flush() after writing; trying to avoid lossage if user
|
---|
206 | kills GUI.
|
---|
207 |
|
---|
208 | - Options / Keys / Advanced dialog made functional. Also, allow binding
|
---|
209 | of 'movement' keys.
|
---|
210 |
|
---|
211 | - 'syntax' patch adds improved calltips and a new class attribute listbox.
|
---|

|
---|
213 | Patch 906702 Noam Raphael
|
---|
214 |
|
---|
215 | - Better indentation after first line of string continuation.
|
---|
216 | IDLEfork Patch 681992, Noam Raphael
|
---|
217 |
|
---|
218 | - Fixed CodeContext alignment problem, following suggestion from Tal Einat.
|
---|
219 |
|
---|
220 | - Increased performance in CodeContext extension Patch 936169 Noam Raphael
|
---|
221 |
|
---|
222 | - Mac line endings were incorrect when pasting code from some browsers
|
---|
223 | when using X11 and the Fink distribution. Python Bug 1263656.
|
---|
224 |
|
---|
225 | - <Enter> when cursor is on a previous command retrieves that command. Instead
|
---|
226 | of replacing the input line, the previous command is now appended to the
|
---|
227 | input line. Indentation is preserved, and undo is enabled.
|
---|
228 | Patch 1196917 Jeff Shute
|
---|
229 |
|
---|
230 | - Clarify "tab/space" Error Dialog and "Tab Width" Dialog associated with
|
---|
231 | the Untabify command.
|
---|
232 |
|
---|
233 | - Corrected "tab/space" Error Dialog to show correct menu for Untabify.
|
---|
234 | Patch 1196980 Jeff Shute
|
---|
235 |
|
---|
236 | - New files are colorized by default, and colorizing is removed when
|
---|
237 | saving as non-Python files. Patch 1196895 Jeff Shute
|
---|
238 | Closes Python Bugs 775012 and 800432, partial fix IDLEfork 763524
|
---|
239 |
|
---|
240 | - Improve subprocess link error notification.
|
---|
241 |
|
---|
242 | - run.py: use Queue's blocking feature instead of sleeping in the main
|
---|
243 | loop. Patch # 1190163 Michiel de Hoon
|
---|
244 |
|
---|
245 | - Add config-main option to make the 'history' feature non-cyclic.
|
---|
246 | Default remains cyclic. Python Patch 914546 Noam Raphael.
|
---|
247 |
|
---|
248 | - Removed ability to configure tabs indent from Options dialog. This 'feature'
|
---|
249 | has never worked and no one has complained. It is still possible to set a
|
---|
250 | default tabs (v. spaces) indent 'manually' via config-main.def (or to turn on
|
---|
251 | tabs for the current EditorWindow via the Format menu) but IDLE will
|
---|
252 | encourage indentation via spaces.
|
---|
253 |
|
---|
254 | - Enable setting the indentation width using the Options dialog.
|
---|
255 | Bug # 783877
|
---|
256 |
|
---|
257 | - Add keybindings for del-word-left and del-word-right.
|
---|
258 |
|
---|
259 | - Discourage using an indent width other than 8 when using tabs to indent
|
---|
260 | Python code.
|
---|
261 |
|
---|
262 | - Restore use of EditorWindow.set_indentation_params(), was dead code since
|
---|
263 | Autoindent was merged into EditorWindow. This allows IDLE to conform to the
|
---|
264 | indentation width of a loaded file. (But it still will not switch to tabs
|
---|
265 | even if the file uses tabs.) Any change in indent width is local to that
|
---|
266 | window.
|
---|
267 |
|
---|
268 | - Add Tabnanny check before Run/F5, not just when Checking module.
|
---|
269 |
|
---|
270 | - If an extension can't be loaded, print warning and skip it instead of
|
---|
271 | erroring out.
|
---|
272 |
|
---|
273 | - Improve error handling when .idlerc can't be created (warn and exit).
|
---|
274 |
|
---|
275 | - The GUI was hanging if the shell window was closed while a raw_input()
|
---|
276 | was pending. Restored the quit() of the readline() mainloop().
|
---|
277 | http://mail.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2004-December/002307.html
|
---|
278 |
|
---|
279 | - The remote procedure call module rpc.py can now access data attributes of
|
---|
280 | remote registered objects. Changes to these attributes are local, however.
|
---|
281 |
|
---|
282 | What's New in IDLE 1.1?
|
---|
283 | =======================
|
---|
284 |
|
---|
285 | *Release date: 30-NOV-2004*
|
---|
286 |
|
---|
287 | - On OpenBSD, terminating IDLE with ctrl-c from the command line caused a
|
---|
288 | stuck subprocess MainThread because only the SocketThread was exiting.
|
---|
289 |
|
---|
290 | What's New in IDLE 1.1b3/rc1?
|
---|
291 | =============================
|
---|
292 |
|
---|
293 | *Release date: 18-NOV-2004*
|
---|
294 |
|
---|
295 | - Saving a Keyset w/o making changes (by using the "Save as New Custom Key Set"
|
---|
296 | button) caused IDLE to fail on restart (no new keyset was created in
|
---|
297 | config-keys.cfg). Also true for Theme/highlights. Python Bug 1064535.
|
---|
298 |
|
---|
299 | - A change to the linecache.py API caused IDLE to exit when an exception was
|
---|
300 | raised while running without the subprocess (-n switch). Python Bug 1063840.
|
---|
301 |
|
---|
302 | What's New in IDLE 1.1b2?
|
---|
303 | =========================
|
---|
304 |
|
---|
305 | *Release date: 03-NOV-2004*
|
---|
306 |
|
---|
307 | - When paragraph reformat width was made configurable, a bug was
|
---|
308 | introduced that caused reformatting of comment blocks to ignore how
|
---|
309 | far the block was indented, effectively adding the indentation width
|
---|
310 | to the reformat width. This has been repaired, and the reformat
|
---|
311 | width is again a bound on the total width of reformatted lines.
|
---|
312 |
|
---|
313 | What's New in IDLE 1.1b1?
|
---|
314 | =========================

---|
328 | - If user passes a non-existent filename on the commandline, just
|
---|

334 |
|
---|
335 | *Release date: 05-AUG-2004*
|
---|
336 |
|
---|
337 | - EditorWindow.py was not finding the .chm help file on Windows. Typo
|
---|
338 | at Rev 1.54. Python Bug 990954
|
---|
339 |
|
---|
340 | - checking sys.platform for substring 'win' was breaking IDLE docs on Mac
|
---|
341 | (darwin). Also, Mac Safari browser requires full file:// URIs. SF 900580.

|
---|
348 |
|
---|
349 | - Redirect the warning stream to the shell during the ScriptBinding check of
|
---|
350 | user code and format the warning similarly to an exception for both that
|
---|
351 | check and for runtime warnings raised in the subprocess.
|
---|
352 |
|
---|
353 | - CodeContext hint pane visibility state is now persistent across sessions.
|
---|
354 | The pane no longer appears in the shell window. Added capability to limit
|
---|
355 | extensions to shell window or editor windows. Noam Raphael addition
|
---|
356 | to Patch 936169.
|
---|
357 |

---|
360 |
|
---|
361 | - New Extension: CodeContext. Provides block structuring hints for code
|
---|
362 | which has scrolled above an edit window. Patch 936169 Noam Raphael.
|
---|
363 |
|
---|
364 | - If nulls somehow got into the strings in recent-files.lst
|
---|
365 | EditorWindow.update_recent_files_list() was failing. Python Bug 931336.
|
---|
366 |
|
---|
367 | - If the normal background is changed via Configure/Highlighting, it will
|
---|
368 | update immediately, thanks to the previously mentioned patch by Nigel Rowe.
|
---|
369 |
|
---|
370 | - Add a highlight theme for builtin keywords. Python Patch 805830 Nigel Rowe
|
---|
371 | This also fixed IDLEfork bug [ 693418 ] Normal text background color not

372 | refreshed and Python bug [897872 ] Unknown color name on HP-UX
|
---|
373 |
|
---|
374 | - rpc.py:SocketIO - Large modules were generating large pickles when downloaded
|
---|
375 | to the execution server. The return of the OK response from the subprocess
|
---|
376 | initialization was interfering and causing the sending socket to be not
|
---|
377 | ready. Add an IO ready test to fix this. Moved the polling IO ready test
|
---|
378 | into pollpacket().
|
---|
379 |
|
---|
380 | - Fix typo in rpc.py, s/b "pickle.PicklingError" not "pickle.UnpicklingError".
|
---|
381 |
|
---|
382 | - Added a Tk error dialog to run.py inform the user if the subprocess can't
|
---|
383 | connect to the user GUI process. Added a timeout to the GUI's listening
|
---|
384 | socket. Added Tk error dialogs to PyShell.py to announce a failure to bind
|
---|
385 | the port or connect to the subprocess. Clean up error handling during
|
---|
386 | connection initiation phase. This is an update of Python Patch 778323.
|
---|
387 |
|
---|
388 | - Print correct exception even if source file changed since shell was
|
---|
389 | restarted. IDLEfork Patch 869012 Noam Raphael
|
---|
390 |
|
---|
391 | - Keybindings with the Shift modifier now work correctly. So do bindings which
|
---|
392 | use the Space key. Limit unmodified user keybindings to the function keys.
|
---|
393 | Python Bug 775353, IDLEfork Bugs 755647, 761557
|
---|
394 |
|
---|
395 | - After an exception, run.py was not setting the exception vector. Noam
|
---|
396 | Raphael suggested correcting this so pdb's postmortem pm() would work.
|
---|
397 | IDLEfork Patch 844675
|
---|
398 |
|
---|
399 | - IDLE now does not fail to save the file anymore if the Tk buffer is not a
|
---|
400 | Unicode string, yet eol_convention is. Python Bugs 774680, 788378
|
---|
401 |
|
---|
402 | - IDLE didn't start correctly when Python was installed in "Program Files" on
|
---|
403 | W2K and XP. Python Bugs 780451, 784183
|
---|
404 |
|
---|
405 | - config-main.def documentation incorrectly referred to idle- instead of
|
---|
406 | config- filenames. SF 782759 Also added note about .idlerc location.

455 | - Updated the About dialog to reflect re-integration into Python. Provide
|
---|
456 | buttons to display Python's NEWS, License, and Credits, plus additional
|
---|
457 | buttons for IDLE's README and NEWS.
|
---|
458 |
|
---|
459 | - TextViewer() now has a third parameter which allows inserting text into the
|
---|
460 | viewer instead of reading from a file.
|
---|
461 |
|
---|
462 | - (Created the .../Lib/idlelib directory in the Python CVS, which is a clone of
|
---|
463 | IDLEfork modified to install in the Python environment. The code in the

|
---|
477 |
|
---|
478 | - Avoided a problem with starting the subprocess when 'localhost' doesn't

|
---|
488 | What's New in IDLEfork 0.9b1?
|
---|
489 | =============================
|
---|
490 |
|
---|
491 | *Release date: 02-Jun-2003*
|
---|
492 |
|
---|
493 | - The current working directory of the execution environment (and shell
|
---|
494 | following completion of execution) is now that of the module being run.
|
---|
495 |
|
---|
496 | - Added the delete-exitfunc option to config-main.def. (This option is not
|
---|
497 | included in the Options dialog.) Setting this to True (the default) will
|
---|
498 | cause IDLE to not run sys.exitfunc/atexit when the subprocess exits.
|
---|
499 |
|
---|
500 | - IDLE now preserves the line ending codes when editing a file produced on
|
---|
501 | a different platform. SF 661759, SF 538584
|
---|
502 |
|
---|
503 | - Reduced default editor font size to 10 point and increased window height
|
---|
504 | to provide a better initial impression on Windows.
|
---|
505 |
|
---|
506 | - Options / Fonts/Tabs / Set Base Editor Font: List box was not highlighting
|
---|
507 | the default font when first installed on Windows. SF 661676
|
---|
508 |
|
---|
509 | - Added Autosave feature: when user runs code from edit window, if the file
|
---|
510 | has been modified IDLE will silently save it if Autosave is enabled. The
|
---|
511 | option is set in the Options dialog, and the default is to prompt the
|
---|
512 | user to save the file. SF 661318 Bruce Sherwood patch.
|
---|
513 |
|
---|
514 | - Improved the RESTART annotation in the shell window when the user restarts
|
---|
515 | the shell while it is generating output. Also improved annotation when user
|
---|
516 | repeatedly hammers the Ctrl-F6 restart.
|
---|
517 |
|
---|
518 | - Allow IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory
|
---|
519 | SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up" - Raphael
|
---|
520 |
|
---|
521 | - When a module is run from an EditorWindow: if its directory is not in
|
---|
522 | sys.path, prepend it. This allows the module to import other modules in
|
---|
523 | the same directory. Do the same for a script run from the command line.
|
---|
524 |
|
---|
525 | - Correctly restart the subprocess if it is running user code and the user
|
---|
526 | attempts to run some other module or restarts the shell. Do the same if
|
---|
527 | the link is broken and it is possible to restart the subprocess and re-
|
---|
528 | connect to the GUI. SF RFE 661321.
|
---|
529 |
|
---|
530 | - Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the
|
---|
531 | command line.
|
---|
532 |
|
---|
533 | - Added a -n command line switch to start IDLE without the subprocess.
|
---|
534 | Removed the Shell menu when running in that mode. Updated help messages.
|
---|
535 |
|
---|
536 | - Added a comment to the shell startup header to indicate when IDLE is not
|
---|
537 | using the subprocess.
|
---|
538 |
|
---|
539 | - Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for
|
---|
540 | some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the
|
---|
541 | debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be
|
---|
542 | desirable, depending on your point of view. In addition, the traditional
|
---|
543 | reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.) This is
|
---|
544 | helpful for developing IDLE using IDLE, because one instance can be used to
|
---|
545 | edit the code and a separate instance run to test changes. (Multiple
|
---|
546 | concurrent IDLE instances with subprocesses is a future feature)
|
---|
547 |
|
---|
548 | - Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII
|
---|
549 | characters and no source encoding is specified. Done by adding a dialog
|
---|
550 | 'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry
|
---|
551 | widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically.
|
---|
552 | Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three
|
---|
553 | possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show
|
---|
554 | this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files
|
---|
555 | with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that
|
---|
556 | files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the
|
---|
557 | source contains characters outside the locale's charset. SF 710733 - Loewis
|
---|
558 |
|
---|
559 | - Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various
|
---|
560 | calls to signal.signal().
|
---|
561 |
|
---|
562 | - Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass
|
---|
563 | loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension. User code runs
|
---|
564 | in MainThread, while the RPCServer is handled by SockThread. This is
|
---|
565 | necessary because Windows doesn't support signals.
|
---|
566 |
|
---|
567 | - Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread
|
---|
568 | to raise a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread.
|
---|
569 |
|
---|
570 | - Attempting to save the shell raised an error related to saving
|
---|
571 | breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell
|
---|
572 |
|
---|
573 | - Provide a correct message when 'exit' or 'quit' are entered at the
|
---|
574 | IDLE command prompt SF 695861
|
---|
575 |
|
---|
576 | - Eliminate extra blank line in shell output caused by not flushing
|
---|
577 | stdout when user code ends with an unterminated print. SF 695861
|
---|
578 |
|
---|
579 | - Moved responsibility for exception formatting (i.e. pruning IDLE internal
|
---|
580 | calls) out of rpc.py into the client and server.
|
---|
581 |
|
---|
582 | - Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O
|
---|
583 |
|
---|
584 | - Handle subprocess interrupt with an RPC message.
|
---|
585 |
|
---|
586 | - Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that)
|
---|
587 |
|
---|
588 | - Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the
|
---|
589 | exception formatting to the subprocess.
|
---|

|
---|
600 | - Improved formatting in IDLE Help.
|
---|
601 |
|
---|
602 | - Run menu: Replace "Run Script" with "Run Module".
|
---|
603 |
|
---|
604 | - Code encountering an unhandled exception under the debugger now shows
|
---|
605 | the correct traceback, with IDLE internal levels pruned out.
|
---|
606 |
|
---|
607 | - If an exception occurs entirely in IDLE, don't prune the IDLE internal
|
---|
608 | modules from the traceback displayed.
|
---|
609 |
|
---|
610 | - Class Browser and Path Browser now use Alt-Key-2 for vertical zoom.
|
---|
611 |
|
---|
612 | - IDLE icons will now install correctly even when setup.py is run from the
|
---|
613 | build directory
|
---|
614 |
|
---|
615 | - Class Browser now compatible with Python2.3 version of pyclbr.py
|
---|
616 |
|
---|
617 | - Left cursor move in presence of selected text now moves from left end
|
---|
618 | of the selection.
|
---|
619 |
|
---|
620 | - Add Meta keybindings to "IDLE Classic Windows" to handle reversed
|
---|
621 | Alt/Meta on some Linux distros.
|
---|
622 |
|
---|
623 | - Change default: IDLE now starts with Python Shell.
|
---|
624 |
|
---|
625 | - Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list.
|
---|
626 |
|
---|
627 | - Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the
|
---|
628 | Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is
|
---|
629 | validated, as before.)
|
---|
630 |
|
---|
631 | - Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the
|
---|
632 | order entered. Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option'
|
---|
633 | number.
|
---|
634 |
|
---|
635 | - Add Browse button to New Help Source dialog. Arrange to start in
|
---|
636 | Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory.
|
---|
637 |
|
---|
638 | - Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in
|
---|
639 | an Extra Help cascade menu. Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional
|
---|
640 | Help Sources come last. Update help.txt appropriately.
|
---|
641 |
|
---|
642 | - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py and configDialog.py
|
---|

648 |
|
---|
649 | - Make configHelpSourceEdit OK button the default and bind <Return>
|
---|
650 |
|
---|
651 | - Fix Tk root pop-ups in configHelpSourceEdit: error dialogs not attached
|
---|
652 | to parents.
|
---|
653 |
|
---|
654 | - Use os.startfile() to open both Additional Help and Python Help on the
|
---|
655 | Windows platform. The application associated with the file type will act as
|
---|
656 | the viewer. Windows help files (.chm) are now supported via the
|
---|
657 | Settings/General/Additional Help facility.
|
---|
658 |
|
---|
659 | - If Python Help files are installed locally on Linux, use them instead of
|
---|
660 | accessing python.org.
|
---|
661 |
|
---|
662 | - Make the methods for finding the Python help docs more robust, and make
|
---|
663 | them work in the installed configuration, also.
|
---|
664 |
|
---|
665 | - On the Save Before Run dialog, make the OK button the default. One
|
---|
666 | less mouse action!
|
---|
667 |
|
---|
668 | - Add a method: EditorWindow.get_geometry() for future use in implementing
|
---|
669 | window location persistence.
|
---|
670 |
|
---|
671 | - Removed the "Help/Advice" menu entry. Thanks, David! We'll remember!
|
---|
672 |

675 | - Rearrange the Shell menu to put Stack Viewer entries adjacent.
|
---|
676 |
|
---|
677 | - Add the ability to restart the subprocess interpreter from the shell window;
|
---|
678 | add an associated menu entry "Shell/Restart" with binding Control-F6. Update
|
---|
679 | IDLE help.
|
---|
680 |
|
---|
681 | - Upon a restart, annotate the shell window with a "restart boundary". Add a
|
---|
682 | shell window menu "Shell/View Restart" with binding F6 to jump to the most
|
---|
683 | recent restart boundary.
|
---|
684 |
|
---|
685 | - Add Shell menu to Python Shell; change "Settings" to "Options".
|
---|

|
---|
688 |
|
---|
689 | - Add INSTALL.txt, HISTORY.txt, NEWS.txt to installed configuration.
|
---|
690 |
|
---|
691 | - In installer text, fix reference to Visual Python, should be VPython.
|
---|
692 | Properly credit David Scherer.
|
---|
693 |
|
---|
694 | - Modified idle, idle.py, idle.pyw to improve exception handling.
