What's New in IDLE 1.0b2?
=========================
*Release date: 29-Jun-2003*
- Extend AboutDialog.ViewFile() to support file encodings. Make the CREDITS
file Latin-1.
- Updated the About dialog to reflect re-integration into Python. Provide
buttons to display Python's NEWS, License, and Credits, plus additional
buttons for IDLE's README and NEWS.
- TextViewer() now has a third parameter which allows inserting text into the
viewer instead of reading from a file.
- (Created the .../Lib/idlelib directory in the Python CVS, which is a clone of
IDLEfork modified to install in the Python environment. The code in the
interrupt module has been moved to thread.interrupt_main(). )

resolve to the user's loopback interface. SF 747772

What's New in IDLEfork 0.9b1?
=============================
*Release date: 02-Jun-2003*
- IDLE icons will now install correctly even when setup.py is run from the
build directory
- Class Browser now compatible with Python2.3 version of pyclbr.py
- Left cursor move in presence of selected text now moves from left end
of the selection.
- Add Meta keybindings to "IDLE Classic Windows" to handle reversed
Alt/Meta on some Linux distros.
- Change default: IDLE now starts with Python Shell.
- Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list.
- Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the
Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is
validated, as before.)
- Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the
order entered. Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option'
number.
- Add Browse button to New Help Source dialog. Arrange to start in
Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory.
- Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in
an Extra Help cascade menu. Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional
Help Sources come last. Update help.txt appropriately.
- Fix Tk root pop-ups in configSectionNameDialog.py and configDialog.py
- Uniform capitalization in General tab of ConfigDialog, update the doc string.
- Fix bug in ConfigDialog where SaveAllChangedConfig() was unexpectedly
deleting Additional Help Sources from the user's config file.
- Make configHelpSourceEdit OK button the default and bind <Return>
- Fix Tk root pop-ups in configHelpSourceEdit: error dialogs not attached
to parents.
- Use os.startfile() to open both Additional Help and Python Help on the
Windows platform. The application associated with the file type will act as
the viewer. Windows help files (.chm) are now supported via the
Settings/General/Additional Help facility.
- If Python Help files are installed locally on Linux, use them instead of
accessing python.org.
- Make the methods for finding the Python help docs more robust, and make
them work in the installed configuration, also.
- On the Save Before Run dialog, make the OK button the default. One
less mouse action!
- Add a method: EditorWindow.get_geometry() for future use in implementing
window location persistence.
- Removed the "Help/Advice" menu entry. Thanks, David! We'll remember!
