2000-03-09. It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks,

Changes:
22-
23-
The ExecBinding module, a replacement for ScriptBinding, executes
24-
programs in a separate process, piping standard I/O through an RPC
25-
mechanism to an OnDemandOutputWindow in IDLE. It supports executing
26-
unnamed programs (through a temporary file). It does not yet support
27-
debugging.
28-
29-
When running programs with ExecBinding, tracebacks will be clipped
30-
to exclude system modules. If, however, a system module calls back
31-
into the user program, that part of the traceback will be shown.
32-
33-
The OnDemandOutputWindow class has been improved. In particular,
34-
it now supports a readline() function used to implement user input,
35-
and a scroll_clear() operation which is used to hide the output of
36-
a previous run by scrolling it out of the window.
37-
38-
Startup behavior has been changed. By default IDLE starts up with
39-
just a blank editor window, rather than an interactive window. Opening
40-
a file in such a blank window replaces the (nonexistent) contents of
41-
that window instead of creating another window. Because of the need to
42-
have a well-known port for the ExecBinding protocol, only one copy of
43-
IDLE can be running. Additional invocations use the RPC mechanism to
44-
report their command line arguments to the copy already running.
45-
46-
The menus have been reorganized. In particular, the excessively large
47-
'edit' menu has been split up into 'edit', 'format', and 'run'.
48-
49-
'Python Documentation' now works on Windows, if the win32api module is
50-
present.
51-
52-
A few key bindings have been changed: F1 now loads Python Documentation
53-
instead of the IDLE help; shift-TAB is now a synonym for unindent.
54-

New modules:
56-
ExecBinding.py Executes program through loader

New in IDLE 0.5 (2/15/2000)
55+
---------------------------
56+
57+
Tons of stuff, much of it contributed by Tim Peters and Mark Hammond:
58+
59+
- Status bar, displaying current line/column (Moshe Zadka).
60+
61+
- Better stack viewer, using tree widget. (XXX Only used by Stack
62+
Viewer menu, not by the debugger.)
63+
64+
- Format paragraph now recognizes Python block comments and reformats
65+
them correctly (MH)
66+
67+
- New version of pyclbr.py parses top-level functions and understands
68+
much more of Python's syntax; this is reflected in the class and path
69+
browsers (TP)
70+
71+
- Much better auto-indent; knows how to indent the insides of
72+
multi-line statements (TP)
73+
74+
- Call tip window pops up when you type the name of a known function
75+
followed by an open parenthesis. Hit ESC or click elsewhere in the
76+
window to close the tip window (MH)
77+
78+
- Comment out region now inserts ## to make it stand out more (TP)
79+
80+
- New path and class browsers based on a tree widget that looks
81+
familiar to Windows users
82+
83+
- Reworked script running commands to be more intuitive: I/O now
84+
always goes to the *Python Shell* window, and raw_input() works
85+
correctly. You use F5 to import/reload a module: this adds the module
86+
name to the __main__ namespace. You use Control-F5 to run a script:
87+
this runs the script *in* the __main__ namespace. The latter also
88+
sets sys.argv[] to the script name
89+
90+
91+
New in IDLE 0.4 (4/7/99)
92+
------------------------
93+
94+
Most important change: a new menu entry "File -> Path browser", shows
95+
a 4-column hierarchical browser which lets you browse sys.path,
96+
directories, modules, and classes. Yes, it's a superset of the Class
97+
browser menu entry. There's also a new internal module,
98+
MultiScrolledLists.py, which provides the framework for this dialog.
99+
100+
101+
New in IDLE 0.3 (2/17/99)
102+
-------------------------
103+
104+
Most important changes:
105+
106+
- Enabled support for running a module, with or without the debugger.
107+
Output goes to a new window. Pressing F5 in a module is effectively a
108+
reload of that module; Control-F5 loads it under the debugger.
109+
110+
- Re-enable tearing off the Windows menu, and make a torn-off Windows
111+
menu update itself whenever a window is opened or closed.
112+
113+
- Menu items can now be have a checkbox (when the menu label starts
114+
with "!"); use this for the Debugger and "Auto-open stack viewer"
115+
(was: JIT stack viewer) menu items.
116+
117+
- Added a Quit button to the Debugger API.
118+
119+
- The current directory is explicitly inserted into sys.path.
120+
121+
- Fix the debugger (when using Python 1.5.2b2) to use canonical
122+
filenames for breakpoints, so these actually work. (There's still a
123+
lot of work to be done to the management of breakpoints in the
124+
debugger though.)
125+
126+
- Closing a window that is still colorizing now actually works.
127+
128+
- Allow dragging of the separator between the two list boxes in the
129+
class browser.
130+
131+
- Bind ESC to "close window" of the debugger, stack viewer and class
132+
browser. It removes the selection highlighting in regular text
133+
windows. (These are standard Windows conventions.)
134+
135+
136+
New in IDLE 0.2 (1/8/99)
137+
------------------------
138+
139+
Lots of changes; here are the highlights:
140+
141+
General:
142+
143+
- You can now write and configure your own IDLE extension modules; see
144+
extend.txt.
145+
146+
147+
File menu:
148+
149+
The command to open the Python shell window is now in the File menu.
150+
151+
152+
Edit menu:
153+
154+
New Find dialog with more options; replace dialog; find in files dialog.
155+
156+
Commands to tabify or untabify a region.
157+
158+
Command to format a paragraph.
159+
160+
161+
Debug menu:
162+
163+
JIT (Just-In-Time) stack viewer toggle -- if set, the stack viewer
164+
automaticall pops up when you get a traceback.
165+
166+
Windows menu:
167+
168+
Zoom height -- make the window full height.
169+
170+
171+
Help menu:
172+
173+
The help text now show up in a regular window so you can search and
174+
even edit it if you like.
175+
176+
177+
178+
IDLE 0.1 was distributed with the Python 1.5.2b1 release on 12/22/98.
