======================================================================
    Python release 1.5.2c1, IDLE version 0.4
======================================================================

Wed Apr  7 18:41:59 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * README.txt, NEWS.txt: New version.

    * idlever.py: Version bump awaiting impending new release.
    (Not much has changed :-( )

Mon Mar 29 14:52:28 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * ScriptBinding.py, PyShell.py:
    At Tim Peters' recommendation, add a dummy flush() method to
    PseudoFile.

Thu Mar 11 23:21:23 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * PathBrowser.py: Don't crash when sys.path contains an empty string.

    * Attic/Outline.py: This file was never supposed to be part of IDLE.

    * PathBrowser.py:
    - Don't crash in the case where a superclass is a string instead of a
    pyclbr.Class object; this can happen when the superclass is
    unrecognizable (to pyclbr), e.g. when module renaming is used.

    - Show a watch cursor when calling pyclbr (since it may take a while
    recursively parsing imported modules!).

Wed Mar 10 05:18:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py: Add PathBrowser to File module

    * PathBrowser.py: "Path browser" - 4 scrolled lists displaying:
        directories on sys.path
        modules in selected directory
        classes in selected module
        methods of selected class

    Sinlge clicking in a directory, module or class item updates the next
    column with info about the selected item.  Double clicking in a
    module, class or method item opens the file (and selects the clicked
    item if it is a class or method).

    I guess eventually I should be using a tree widget for this, but the
    ones I've seen don't work well enough, so for now I use the old
    Smalltalk or NeXT style multi-column hierarchical browser.

    * MultiScrolledLists.py:
    New utility: multiple scrolled lists in parallel

    * ScrolledList.py: - White background.
    - Display "(None)" (or text of your choosing) when empty.
    - Don't set the focus.

======================================================================
    Python release 1.5.2b2, IDLE version 0.3
======================================================================

Wed Feb 17 22:47:41 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * NEWS.txt: News in 0.3.

    * README.txt, idlever.py: Bump version to 0.3.

    * EditorWindow.py:
    After all, we don't need to call the callbacks ourselves!

    * WindowList.py:
    When deleting, call the callbacks *after* deleting the window from our list!

    * EditorWindow.py:
    Fix up the Windows menu via the new callback mechanism instead of
    depending on menu post commands (which don't work when the menu is
    torn off).

    * WindowList.py:
    Support callbacks to patch up Windows menus everywhere.

    * ChangeLog: Oh, why not.  Checking in the Emacs-generated change log.

Tue Feb 16 22:34:17 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * ScriptBinding.py:
    Only pop up the stack viewer when requested in the Debug menu.

Mon Feb  8 22:27:49 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * WindowList.py: Don't crash if a window no longer exists.

    * TODO.txt: Restructured a bit.

Mon Feb  1 23:06:17 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * PyShell.py: Add current dir or paths of file args to sys.path.

    * Debugger.py: Add canonic() function -- for brand new bdb.py feature.

    * StackViewer.py: Protect against accessing an empty stack.

Fri Jan 29 20:44:45 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * ZoomHeight.py:
    Use only the height to decide whether to zoom in or out.

Thu Jan 28 22:24:30 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py:
    Make sure the Tcl variables are shared between windows.

    * PyShell.py, EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
    Move menu/key binding code from Bindings.py to EditorWindow.py,
    with changed APIs -- it makes much more sense there.
    Also add a new feature: if the first character of a menu label is
    a '!', it gets a checkbox.  Checkboxes are bound to Boolean Tcl variables
    that can be accessed through the new getvar/setvar/getrawvar API;
    the variable is named after the event to which the menu is bound.

    * Debugger.py: Add Quit button to the debugger window.

    * SearchDialog.py:
    When find_again() finds exactly the current selection, it's a failure.

    * idle.py, Attic/idle: Rename idle -> idle.py

Mon Jan 18 15:18:57 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * EditorWindow.py, WindowList.py: Only deiconify when iconic.

    * TODO.txt: Misc

Tue Jan 12 22:14:34 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * testcode.py, Attic/test.py:
    Renamed test.py to testcode.py so one can import Python's
    test package from inside IDLE.  (Suggested by Jack Jansen.)

    * EditorWindow.py, ColorDelegator.py:
    Hack to close a window that is colorizing.

    * Separator.py: Vladimir Marangozov's patch:
    The separator dances too much and seems to jump by arbitrary amounts
    in arbitrary directions when I try to move it for resizing the frames.
    This patch makes it more quiet.

Mon Jan 11 14:52:40 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * TODO.txt: Some requests have been fulfilled.

    * EditorWindow.py:
    Set the cursor to a watch when opening the class browser (which may
    take quite a while, browsing multiple files).

    Newer, better center() -- but assumes no wrapping.

    * SearchBinding.py:
    Got rid of debug print statement in goto_line_event().

    * ScriptBinding.py:
    I think I like it better if it prints the traceback even when it displays
    the stack viewer.

    * Debugger.py: Bind ESC to close-window.

    * ClassBrowser.py: Use a HSeparator between the classes and the items.
    Make the list of classes wider by default (40 chars).
    Bind ESC to close-window.

    * Separator.py:
    Separator classes (draggable divider between two panes).

Sat Jan  9 22:01:33 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * WindowList.py:
    Don't traceback when wakeup() is called when the window has been destroyed.
    This can happen when a torn-of Windows menu references closed windows.
    And Tim Peters claims that the Windows menu is his favorite to tear off...

    * EditorWindow.py: Allow tearing off of the Windows menu.

    * StackViewer.py: Close on ESC.

    * help.txt: Updated a bunch of things (it was mostly still 0.1!)

    * extend.py: Added ScriptBinding to standard bindings.

    * ScriptBinding.py:
    This now actually works.  See doc string.  It can run a module (i.e.
    import or reload) or debug it (same with debugger control).  Output
    goes to a fresh output window, only created when needed.

======================================================================
    Python release 1.5.2b1, IDLE version 0.2
======================================================================

Fri Jan  8 17:26:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * README.txt, NEWS.txt: What's new in this release.

    * Bindings.py, PyShell.py:
    Paul Prescod's patches to allow the stack viewer to pop up when a
    traceback is printed.

Thu Jan  7 00:12:15 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * FormatParagraph.py:
    Change paragraph width limit to 70 (like Emacs M-Q).

    * README.txt:
    Separating TODO from README.  Slight reformulation of features.  No
    exact release date.

    * TODO.txt: Separating TODO from README.

Mon Jan  4 21:19:09 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * FormatParagraph.py:
    Hm.  There was a boundary condition error at the end of the file too.

    * SearchBinding.py: Hm.  Add Unix binding for replace, too.

    * keydefs.py: Ran eventparse.py again.

    * FormatParagraph.py: Added Unix Meta-q key binding;
    fix find_paragraph when at start of file.

    * AutoExpand.py: Added Meta-/ binding for Unix as alt for Alt-/.

    * SearchBinding.py:
    Add unix binding for grep (otherwise the menu entry doesn't work!)

    * ZoomHeight.py: Adjusted Unix height to work with fvwm96. :=(

    * GrepDialog.py: Need to import sys!

    * help.txt, extend.txt, README.txt: Formatted some paragraphs

    * extend.py, FormatParagraph.py:
    Add new extension to reformat a (text) paragraph.

    * ZoomHeight.py: Typo in Win specific height setting.

Sun Jan  3 00:47:35 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * AutoIndent.py: Added something like Tim Peters' backspace patch.

    * ZoomHeight.py: Adapted to Unix (i.e., more hardcoded constants).

Sat Jan  2 21:28:54 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * keydefs.py, idlever.py, idle.pyw, idle.bat, help.txt, extend.txt, extend.py, eventparse.py, ZoomHeight.py, WindowList.py, UndoDelegator.py, StackViewer.py, SearchEngine.py, SearchDialogBase.py, SearchDialog.py, ScrolledList.py, SearchBinding.py, ScriptBinding.py, ReplaceDialog.py, Attic/README, README.txt, PyShell.py, Attic/PopupMenu.py, OutputWindow.py, IOBinding.py, Attic/HelpWindow.py, History.py, GrepDialog.py, FileList.py, FrameViewer.py, EditorWindow.py, Debugger.py, Delegator.py, ColorDelegator.py, Bindings.py, ClassBrowser.py, AutoExpand.py, AutoIndent.py:
    Checking in IDLE 0.2.

    Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
    The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
    see extend.txt.  Some sample extensions have been provided, and
    some existing code has been converted to extensions.  Probably the
    biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
    search and replace, and even search in files (grep).

    This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
    from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.

Fri Dec 18 15:52:54 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * FileList.py, ClassBrowser.py:
    Fix the class browser to work even when the file is not on sys.path.

Tue Dec  8 20:39:36 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * Attic/turtle.py: Moved to Python 1.5.2/Lib

Fri Nov 27 03:19:20 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * help.txt: Typo

    * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py: Support underlining of menu labels

    * Bindings.py:
    New approach, separate tables for menus (platform-independent) and key
    definitions (platform-specific), and generating accelerator strings
    automatically from the key definitions.

Mon Nov 16 18:37:42 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * Attic/README: Clarify portability and main program.

    * Attic/README: Added intro for 0.1 release and append Grail notes.

Mon Oct 26 18:49:00 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * Attic/turtle.py: root is now a global called _root

Sat Oct 24 16:38:38 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * Attic/turtle.py: Raise the root window on reset().
    Different action on WM_DELETE_WINDOW is more likely to do the right thing,
    allowing us to destroy old windows.

    * Attic/turtle.py:
    Split the goto() function in two: _goto() is the internal one,
    using Canvas coordinates, and goto() uses turtle coordinates
    and accepts variable argument lists.

    * Attic/turtle.py: Cope with destruction of the window

    * Attic/turtle.py: Turtle graphics

    * Debugger.py: Use of Breakpoint class should be bdb.Breakpoint.

Mon Oct 19 03:33:40 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * SearchBinding.py:
    Speed up the search a bit -- don't drag a mark around...

    * PyShell.py:
    Change our special entries from <console#N> to <pyshell#N>.
    Patch linecache.checkcache() to keep our special entries alive.
    Add popup menu to all editor windows to set a breakpoint.

    * Debugger.py:
    Use and pass through the 'force' flag to set_dict() where appropriate.
    Default source and globals checkboxes to false.
    Don't interact in user_return().
    Add primitive set_breakpoint() method.

    * ColorDelegator.py:
    Raise priority of 'sel' tag so its foreground (on Windows) will take
    priority over text colorization (which on Windows is almost the
    same color as the selection background).

    Define a tag and color for breakpoints ("BREAK").

    * Attic/PopupMenu.py: Disable "Open stack viewer" and "help" commands.

    * StackViewer.py:
    Add optional 'force' argument (default 0) to load_dict().
    If set, redo the display even if it's the same dict.

Fri Oct 16 21:10:12 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * StackViewer.py: Do nothing when loading the same dict as before.

    * PyShell.py: Details for debugger interface.

    * Debugger.py:
    Restructured and more consistent.  Save checkboxes across instantiations.

    * EditorWindow.py, Attic/README, Bindings.py:
    Get rid of conflicting ^X binding.  Use ^W.

    * Debugger.py, StackViewer.py:
    Debugger can now show local and global variables.

    * Debugger.py: Oops

    * Debugger.py, PyShell.py: Better debugger support (show stack etc).

    * Attic/PopupMenu.py: Follow renames in StackViewer module

    * StackViewer.py:
    Rename classes to StackViewer (the widget) and StackBrowser (the toplevel).

    * ScrolledList.py: Add close() method

    * EditorWindow.py: Clarify 'Open Module' dialog text

    * StackViewer.py: Restructured into a browser and a widget.

Thu Oct 15 23:27:08 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * ClassBrowser.py, ScrolledList.py:
    Generalized the scrolled list which is the base for the class and
    method browser into a separate class in its own module.

    * Attic/test.py: Cosmetic change

    * Debugger.py: Don't show function name if there is none

Wed Oct 14 03:43:05 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * Debugger.py, PyShell.py: Polish the Debugger GUI a bit.
    Closing it now also does the right thing.

Tue Oct 13 23:51:13 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * Debugger.py, PyShell.py, Bindings.py:
    Ad primitive debugger interface (so far it will step and show you the
    source, but it doesn't yet show the stack).

    * Attic/README: Misc

    * StackViewer.py: Whoops -- referenced self.top before it was set.

    * help.txt: Added history and completion commands.

    * help.txt: Updated

    * FileList.py: Add class browser functionality.

    * ClassBrowser.py: Much improved, much left to do.

    * PyShell.py: Make the return key do what I mean more often.

    * ClassBrowser.py:
    Adding the beginnings of a Class browser.  Incomplete, yet.

    * EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
    Add new command, "Open module".  You select or type a module name,
    and it opens the source.

Mon Oct 12 23:59:27 1998  Guido van Rossum  <[e-mail]>

    * PyShell.py: Subsume functionality from Popup menu in Debug menu.
    Other stuff so the PyShell window can be resurrected from the Windows menu.

    * FileList.py: Get rid of PopUp menu.
    Create a simple Windows menu.  (Imperfect when Untitled windows exist.)
    Add wakeup() method: deiconify, raise, focus.

    * EditorWindow.py: Generalize menu creation.

    * Bindings.py: Add Debug and Help menu items.

    * EditorWindow.py: Added a menu bar to every window.
