=========================== ===========================
*Release date: 2017?* *Release date: 2017?*
- Issue 15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process)
before closing the debugger window (running in the IDLE process).
This prevents the RuntimeErrors that were being caught and ignored.
- Issue #24455: Prevent IDLE from hanging when a) closing the shell while the
debugger is active (15347); b) closing the debugger with the [X] button
(15348); and c) activating the debugger when already active (24455).
The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes.
1. Suspend and resume the gui.interaction method with the tcl vwait
mechanism intended for this purpose (instead of root.mainloop & .quit).
2. In gui.run, allow any existing interaction to terminate first.
- Change 'The program' to 'Your program' in an IDLE 'kill program?' message
to make it clearer that the program referred to is the currently running
user program, not IDLE itself.
- Issue #24750: Improve the appearance of the IDLE editor window status bar.
Patch by Mark Roseman.
- Issue #25313: Change the handling of new built-in text color themes to better
address the compatibility problem introduced by the addition of IDLE Dark.
Consistently use the revised idleConf.CurrentTheme everywhere in idlelib.
- Issue #24782: Extension configuration is now a tab in the IDLE Preferences
dialog rather than a separate dialog. The former tabs are now a sorted
list. Patch by Mark Roseman.
- Issue #22726: Re-activate the config dialog help button with some content
about the other buttons and the new IDLE Dark theme.
