New submission from Terry J. Reedy: For the stdlib in general, What's New in x.y.0 is sufficient because there is not supposed to be anything new in bugfix releases except for bugfixes. 2.7 has a security enhancement exemption, and a corresponding section in the 2.7 What's New for security enhancements in maintenance releases.
A similar section for Idle could be added to What's New for each Python version. But thinking about it, I would rather have a separate document listed in the Idle help menu and advertised in the Idle sign-on message. In particular, I would replace the useless "Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information." with "See HELP/WHAT'S NEW for information about changes in each release." ---------- assignee: terry.reedy components: IDLE messages: 222785 nosy: terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Add What's New for Idle. type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21961> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
