Guido van Rossum 17c516eacb Tim Peters implements some of my wishes:
o Makes the tab key intelligently insert spaces when appropriate (see Help
list banter twixt David Ascher and me; idea stolen from every other editor
on earth <wink>).

o newline_and_indent_event trims trailing whitespace on the old line (pymode
and Codewright).

o newline_and_indent_event no longer fooled by trailing whitespace or
comment after ":" (pymode, PTUI).

o newline_and_indent_event now reduces the new line's indentation after
return, break, continue, raise and pass stmts (pymode).

The last two are easy to fool in the presence of strings & continuations,
but pymode requires Emacs's high-powered C parsing functions to avoid that
in finite time.

IDLE 0.4 - 7 April 1999
-----------------------

For news about this release, see the file NEWS.txt.  (For a more
detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.)

This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based
IDE for Python.  It has the following features:

- 100% pure Python
- multi-window text editor with multiple undo and Python colorizing
- Python shell (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) window subclass
- debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints and step)
- works on Windows and Unix (probably works on Mac too)

The main program is in the file "idle"; on Windows you can use idle.pyw
to avoid popping up a DOS console.  Any arguments passed are interpreted
as files that will be opened for editing.

IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with the
Python 1.5.2 distribution (luckily, IDLE is bundled with Python
1.5.2).

Please send feedback to the Python newsgroup, comp.lang.python, and cc
me <guido@python.org>.
