+	* IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
+	before calling functions from readline.

 2007-03-02  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
 	igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
 	wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
 	back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
 	falls back to idump.
 
 2007-03-01  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
 	my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs.  Will reactivate
 	once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
 	Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
 
 2007-02-28  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
 	don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
 	valid Python attributes.  After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
 	(InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
 	%magic with explicit % prefix.
 
 2007-02-27  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
 	avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
 
 2007-02-22  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
 	time, user+system.  This is a more commonly needed metric.  I also
 	introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
 	one wants those instead.
 	
 	***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
 	so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
 	instead.
 
 2007-02-22  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
         p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
         Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
         automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
 
 2007-02-19  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
 	stop marks. 
 	(ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
 	the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
 	ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
 
 2007-02-18  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
 	protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time.  Patch
 	sumbmitted to upstream.
 
 2007-02-14  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
 	(i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
 	now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
 	running into an empty levels list later.
 
 2007-02-03  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
 	for the noitem object.
 
 2007-01-31  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
 	tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
 	Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
 	<tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
 
 2007-01-27  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
 	bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed.  Once the first
 	argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
 	they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
 	filenames.
 
 	* IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
 	to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
 	out-of-process ipython code.
 
 	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
 	title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
 	doctesting.
 
 	* IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
 
 2007-01-24  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
 	not being correctly recognized.
 
 2007-01-23  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
 	a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
 	only item.
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
 	object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
 	infinite recursion for one line strings).
 
 2007-01-17  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
 	all output streams before printing tracebacks.  This ensures that
 	user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
 
 2007-01-10  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
 	env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
 	"%env VISUAL=jed".
 
 2007-01-05  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
 	custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
 	but I'm not exactly sure why).
 
 	* IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
 	support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
 
 2006-12-24  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
 	import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
 	
 	* tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
 	the time during IPython startup is spent.
 	
 2006-12-20  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
 
 	* ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
 	
 	* Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
 
 2006-12-17  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg... 
 	to work properly on posix too
 	
 	* Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
 
 2006-12-15  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
 	prefix + "/scripts".
 	
 	* Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
     
 2006-12-14  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

 2006-12-13  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
 
 2006-12-13  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
 	conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
 	versions.  Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
 
 2006-12-12  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
 	import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does 
 	import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
 
 	* UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
 	Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
 	in ipy_user_conf.py
 
 		 
 	* Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
 	as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
 	as IPython script.
 	
 	* example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
 
 2006-12-11  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
         * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
         is called before any exception has occurred.
 	
 2006-12-08  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer 
 	to translate /'s to \'s again.
 	
 	* completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/ 
 	backslash.
 	
 	* Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
 
 2006-12-07  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
 	while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
 	and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
 
 	* tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
 	(setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
 
 	* Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
 	on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
 
 	* Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
 
 2006-12-05  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
 	pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
 
 2006-11-30  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
 	"refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
 	"refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
 	object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
 	mapped to "%" now.
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
 
 2006-11-29  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
 	interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
 	%pdb and rerun your code.  Made minor changes in various modules,
 	should automatically recognize pydb if available.
 
 2006-11-28  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
 	properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
 	for shell escapes.
 
 2006-11-27  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van 
 	der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common 
 	vcs_completer. 
 	
 2006-11-26  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
 	directly instead!
 	
 	* genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
 	
 	* iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
 	_ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
 	
 	* Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on 
 	win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made 
 	explicit.
 
 	* ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom 
 	completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
 
 	* macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
 	
 	* Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
 	
 2006-11-24  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 	* IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
 	we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
 	implementation for Text is useless.
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
 
 2006-11-24  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: 
 	try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
 	"profile"
 
 2006-11-23  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong 
 	Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
 	
 	* Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing 
 	correct Pdb object to %pydb.
 
 
 2006-11-22  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 	* IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
 	generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
 
 2006-11-21  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
 	with one from UserConfig.
 	
 	* ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda, 
 	it was missing which broke the sh profile.
 	
 	* completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
 	of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32 
 	if there was one directory with name 'foobar'. 
 
 	* A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
 	
 	* [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
 
 	* [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) - 
 
 	* [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
 
 	* [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
 
 	* [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
 
 	* [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
 
 2006-11-08  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised 
 	by eval of expr with dots.
 
 2006-11-07  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
 	input if it starts with whitespace.  This allows you to paste
 	indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
 	the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
 	Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
 	<bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
 
 2006-11-03  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
 	recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
 	python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
 	visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
 	internal rc object.  There's an accompanying %config magic for
 	interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
 	funtionality in ipconfig.
 
 	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
 	so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument.  Add support
 	for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
 	system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
 
 2006-11-03  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
 	generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
 	This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
 	without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
 	argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
 	be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
 	One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
 	xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
 	argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
 	descriptors.
 
 	* IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
 	packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
 	directory which as been dropped in r1703.
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
 
 2006-11-03  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
 	handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
 	function local scopes correctly.  Bug reported by Brian.
 
 	* scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
 	Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
 	as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
 
 	* IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
 	tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
 	is unambiguous.  After a request by Stefan.  Minor cleanups in
 	ipy_stock_completers.
 
 2006-11-02  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
 	
 	* completer.py: Try running custom completer for both 
 	"foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
 	when filtering possible completions.
 	
 	* UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default	
 	
 	* iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
 	simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper 
 	function
 	
 	
 2006-10-31  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
 	Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement 
 	trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename 
 	ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
 	SVN completer.
 	
 	* Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
 	incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
 	name is %led.
 
 2006-10-30  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky 
 	Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
 	http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
 	
 	* strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
 	Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement 
 	custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own 
 	completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The 
 	hook name is 'complete_command'. 
 
 2006-10-28  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
 	Numeric leftovers.
 
 	* ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
 	garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
 
 	* IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
 	pretty generic function and useful for other things.
 
 	* IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
 	extractor.  After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
 
 	* IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
 	window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
 	since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
 
 2006-10-28  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from 
 	file around %run commands to prevent side effects from 
 	%runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
 
 	* extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for 
 	invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
 
 2006-10-23  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
 	call the base class method and propagate the return value to
 	ifile. This is now done by path itself.
 
 2006-10-15  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
 	api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
 	internal crash handler.
 
 	* IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
 	the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
 	IPython as their engine can customize crash handling.  Ipmlemented
 	at the request of SAGE.
 
 2006-10-14  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky 
 	Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
 
 	* Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
 	removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most 
 	interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
 	where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
 
 	* Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
 	'py' extension are always considered executable, even
 	when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
 
 2006-10-12  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
 	processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
 	'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
 	
 	* iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively, 
 	so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
 
 2006-10-09  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
 	to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
 	(if posix=False).  This also closes %timeit bug reported by
 	Stefan.
 
 2006-10-03  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for 
 	raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or 
 	sys.stdout.close().
 
 2006-09-27  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
 	to help in handling doctests.  irunner is now pretty useful for
 	running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
 	in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
 	on top of the default (useless) ones.  This also fixes the nasty
 	way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
 
 	* IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
 	2.5.
 
 	* IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
 	color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
 	interactively. 
 
 2006-09-27  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
     infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
 
 2006-08-25  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
 	the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
 	or only files.

 	* Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
 	they broke unittest 
 
 2006-08-11  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
 	by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
 	from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
 	should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
 
 2006-08-09  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
 	running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
 	help().  Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
 	<norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
 	<afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
 
 2006-08-04  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
 	(which was displaying "quit" twice).
 
 2006-07-28  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
 	the mode argument).
 
 2006-07-27  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
 	not running under IPython.
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
 	and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
 	magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
 	will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
 	iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
 	lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
 	and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
 	attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
 	"foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
 	"-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
 	foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
 	are still supported.
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
 	fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
 	and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
 	a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
 	encoding into methods.
 
 2006-07-26  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
 	history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
 
 2006-07-18  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
 	non existing attributes.
 
 2006-07-14  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
 	error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
 
 2006-07-13  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
 	argument. This sorts the items themselves.
 
 2006-07-12  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
 	Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
 	up ifilter and friends somewhat.
 
 2006-07-08  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
 	to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by 
 	Stefan van der Walt.
 
 2006-06-29  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
 	mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING! 
 
 2006-06-28  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
 	a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
 	scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
 
 2006-06-27  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's 
 	patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property' 
 	attributes.
 
 2006-06-23  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
 	commands into the methods implementing them.
 
 2006-06-22  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
 	by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>.  He notes that the original
 	autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
 
 2006-06-22  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
 	for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
 
 2006-06-19  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
 	resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
 
 2006-06-16  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
 	ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
 	the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
 	attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
 	keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
 	as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
 	to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
 	deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
 	command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
 	"incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
 	the x key to "delete".
 
 2006-06-15  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
 	used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
 	assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
 	way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
 	
 	* Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
 	prompt
 
 	* Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
 	
 2006-06-15  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
 	the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
 	full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
 	the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
 
 2006-06-12  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
 	allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
 	though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
 	The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
 	doesn't work properly yet.
 
 2006-06-12  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
 	input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
 	the find, findbackwards and goto command.
 
 2006-06-10  Walter Doerwald  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
 	implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
 	input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
 	subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
 	commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
 	execute commands.
 
 2006-06-07  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
 	running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
 
 2006-06-07  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
 	the original fix was incomplete.  Patch submitted by W. Maier.
 
 2006-06-07  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
 	Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
 	_ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
 
 2006-06-06  *** Released version 0.7.2
 
 2006-06-06  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
 	Repo tagged and release cut.
 
 2006-06-05  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
 	%rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
 	
 	* upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
 	(for %upgrade)
 
 2006-06-03  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
 	instead of looping 20 times.
 
 	* IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
 	correctly at initialization time.  Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
 	Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
 
 	* IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
 	testing for release on 06/06.
 
 2006-05-31  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
 	find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
 	live in people's PATH.
 
 	* IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
 	delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
 	pexpect.  Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
 	Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>.  Noted how to use the SAGE runner
 	correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
 	SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
 
 2006-05-31  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
 	with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
 
 2006-05-30  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
 	instead of the processed one.  A -r flag was added to the
 	%logstart magic used for controlling logging.
 
 2006-05-29  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
 	*BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
 	recognize the option.  After a bug report by Will Maier.  This
 	closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
 
 	* IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
 	typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect.  After a
 	submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
 	ipython-user list.  Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
 
 	* tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
 	recepients list.  We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
 	http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html !  Many thanks to Will for the
 	work.
 
 2006-05-26  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
 	so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
 	
 	* IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
 	shadow variables when autocall was fully off.  Reported by SAGE
 	author William Stein.
 
 	* IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
 	at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
 	This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
 	object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
 	setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
 	file.  This new option has been added and documented.  After a
 	request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
 	objects more easily.
 
 2006-05-25  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
 	from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
 	(as seen for example with python -i file.py).  After a bug report
 	by Jeffrey Collins.
 
 	* IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
 	nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
 	reported by M. Foord.  Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
 	compatibility (long gone from mpl).
 
 	* IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make.  We
 	use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
 	type and say, etc.  I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
 	that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
 
 	* ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
 	python-mode recognizes our debugger mode.  Add support for
 	autoindent inside (X)emacs.  After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
 	<m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
 	doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
 	compatibility)
 
 	* IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
 	tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
 	in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
 
 	* IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
 	default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default.  Too many
 	users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
 	with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
 	off.  It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
 
 	* IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
 	PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method.  Patch contributed
 	by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>.  Closes #50.
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
 	deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
 	third-party tools like the Zope debugging console.  The
 	%exit/%quit magics remain.  In general, it's probably a good idea
 	not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
 	that will break.  In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
 	'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot.  Closes #55.
 
 	* IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
 	'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
 	becomes a language keyword.  Closes #53.
 
 	* IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
 	__file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
 	it is a real module.  Closes #59.
 
 	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
 	at a specific line number.  After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
 
 2006-05-23  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
 	reason the file could not be opened.  After automatic crash
 	reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
 	Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
 	(_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
 	is no file in the first place.  From the same report as above.
 	(raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters.  After
 	an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
 	while running under SAGE.
 
 2006-05-23  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
 	ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
 	now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
 	ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
 
 2006-05-18  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
 	everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point.  Docs
 	updated.
 
 	* IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
 	Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
 	property in the future.  I used a property for the db one b/c
 	there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
 	order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
 
 	* IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
 	another locking bug reported by Jorgen.  I'm not 100% sure though,
 	so more testing is needed...
 
 2006-05-17  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>
 
 	* IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
 	local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
 	with %run) directly into the interactive namespace.  Very useful
 	when doing complex debugging.
 	(IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
 	whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
 	exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
 	and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
