Compatibility with earlier - versions of python (especially ancient ones like 1.5x) is no longer a - priority in IDLEfork development. - -- This release is based on a merging of the earlier IDLE fork work with current - cvs IDLE (post IDLE version 0.8), with some minor additional coding by Kurt - B. Kaiser and Stephen M. Gava. - -- This release is basically functional but also contains some known breakages, - particularly with running things from the shell window. Also the debugger is - not working, but I believe this was the case with the previous IDLE fork - release (0.7.1) as well. - -- This release is being made now to mark the point at which IDLEfork is - launching into a new stage of development. - -- IDLEfork CVS will now be branched to enable further development and - exploration of the two "execution in a remote process" patches submitted by - David Scherer (David's is currently in IDLEfork) and GvR, while stabilisation - and development of less heavyweight improvements (like user customisation) - can continue on the trunk. - - -What's New in IDLEfork 0.7.1? -============================== - -*Release date: 15-Aug-2000* - -- First project tarball released. - -- This was the first release of IDLE fork, which at this stage was a - combination of IDLE 0.5 and the VPython idle fork, with additional changes - coded by David Scherer, Peter Schneider-Kamp and Nicholas Riley. - - - -IDLEfork 0.7.1 - 29 May 2000 ------------------------------ - - David Scherer <dscherer@cmu.edu> - -- This is a modification of the CVS version of IDLE 0.5, updated as of - 2000-03-09. It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks, you - get to keep both pieces. - -- If you have problems or suggestions, you should either contact me or post to - the list at http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev (making it clear - that you are using this modified version of IDLE). - -- Changes: - - - The ExecBinding module, a replacement for ScriptBinding, executes programs - in a separate process, piping standard I/O through an RPC mechanism to an - OnDemandOutputWindow in IDLE. It supports executing unnamed programs - (through a temporary file). It does not yet support debugging. - - - When running programs with ExecBinding, tracebacks will be clipped to - exclude system modules. If, however, a system module calls back into the - user program, that part of the traceback will be shown. - - - The OnDemandOutputWindow class has been improved. In particular, it now - supports a readline() function used to implement user input, and a - scroll_clear() operation which is used to hide the output of a previous run - by scrolling it out of the window. - - - Startup behavior has been changed. By default IDLE starts up with just a - blank editor window, rather than an interactive window. Opening a file in - such a blank window replaces the (nonexistent) contents of that window - instead of creating another window. Because of the need to have a - well-known port for the ExecBinding protocol, only one copy of IDLE can be - running. Additional invocations use the RPC mechanism to report their - command line arguments to the copy already running. - - - The menus have been reorganized. In particular, the excessively large - 'edit' menu has been split up into 'edit', 'format', and 'run'. - - - 'Python Documentation' now works on Windows, if the win32api module is - present. - - - A few key bindings have been changed: F1 now loads Python Documentation - instead of the IDLE help; shift-TAB is now a synonym for unindent. - -- New modules: - - ExecBinding.py Executes program through loader - loader.py Bootstraps user program - protocol.py RPC protocol - Remote.py User-process interpreter - spawn.py OS-specific code to start programs - -- Files modified: - - autoindent.py ( bindings tweaked ) - bindings.py ( menus reorganized ) - config.txt ( execbinding enabled ) - editorwindow.py ( new menus, fixed 'Python Documentation' ) - filelist.py ( hook for "open in same window" ) - formatparagraph.py ( bindings tweaked ) - idle.bat ( removed absolute pathname ) - idle.pyw ( weird bug due to import with same name? ) - iobinding.py ( open in same window, EOL convention ) - keydefs.py ( bindings tweaked ) - outputwindow.py ( readline, scroll_clear, etc ) - pyshell.py ( changed startup behavior ) - readme.txt ( <Recursion on file with id=1234567> ) - - - -IDLE 0.5 - February 2000 - Release Notes ----------------------------------------- - -This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based -IDE for Python. - -(For a more detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.) - -FEATURES - -IDLE has the following features: - -- coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (i.e. Tcl/Tk) - -- cross-platform: works on Windows and Unix (on the Mac, there are -currently problems with Tcl/Tk) - -- multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing -and many other features, e.g. smart indent and call tips - -- Python shell window (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) - -- debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view and step) - -USAGE - -The main program is in the file "idle.py"; on Unix, you should be able -to run it by typing "./idle.py" to your shell. On Windows, you can -run it by double-clicking it; you can use idle.pyw to avoid popping up -a DOS console. If you want to pass command line arguments on Windows, -use the batch file idle.bat. - -Command line arguments: files passed on the command line are executed, -not opened for editing, unless you give the -e command line option. -Try "./idle.py -h" to see other command line options. - -IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with a -Python 1.5.2 distribution. (An older version of IDLE is distributed -with Python 1.5.2; you can drop this version on top of it.) - -COPYRIGHT - -IDLE is covered by the standard Python copyright notice -(http://www.python.org/doc/Copyright.html). - - -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. - -====================================================================== |
