2007-03-02  J�rgen Stenarson  <[e-mail]>

	* 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]>

	* scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
	if they already exist

	* Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
    
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.

2006-08-12  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* 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.

2006-05-16  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
	hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
	console does.  This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
	%Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.

2006-05-15  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
	when doing object??, closing ticket #62

2006-05-13  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
	bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55.  A lock
	was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
	been the one to acquire it.

2006-05-07  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.

2006-04-11  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
	in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
	prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
	
	* Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
	added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
	output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
	properly flush the output cache.
	
	* Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
	half-success (and fail explicitly).

2006-03-28  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
	are quoted

2006-03-28  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
	"c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
	
	* ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
	separator, since space is legal in path names.
	
2006-03-16  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
	%upgrade magic
	
	* ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
	
	* hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
	necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
	reported by Zachary Pincus.

2006-03-13  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
	Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
	
	* ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
	by applying the provided patch.  Thanks to Liu Jin
	<m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution.  No problems under
	XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
	under win32/GNU Emacs.  Will revisit if any problems are reported.

2006-03-12  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
	from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <[e-mail]>.

2006-03-12  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
	Torsten Marek.

2006-03-12  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
	line ranges works again.

2006-03-11  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
	and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
	I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
	be OK.  Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
	problems, but let's keep an eye out.

	In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
	self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
	mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
	self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
	more.

2006-03-01  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
	To use, do "from ipipe import *".

2006-02-24  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
	"cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.

2006-02-21  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Magic.py: %save works again.

2006-02-15  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Magic.py: %Pprint works again
	
	* Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
	in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
	ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)

2006-02-11  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
	to allow commands with spaces in them.  Problem noted by watching
	Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
	http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries

	* IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
	describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).

	* IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
	contributed by marienz to close
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.

2006-02-10  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
	
	* completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
	at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
	nonsense.
	
2006-02-09  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
	'%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
	
	* ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc

2006-02-07  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
	instead use "f(1 2)" as before.

2006-02-05  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
	facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
	(IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
	demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
	input (IPythonLineDemo).  After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
	SAGE team.
	(Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
	the in-memory copy of the last executed block.

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
	processing to %edit, %macro and %save.  These commands can now be
	invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
	(without any prefilters applied).  After requests by the SAGE team
	at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.

2006-02-01  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
	correctly now (on Linux)
	
	* ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
	warnings
	
	* iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
	
	* Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.


2006-01-30  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
	Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
	concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
	same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
	the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
	results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
	is also available for use by user extensions. See:
	http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
	
	* hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
	
	* aliases can now be %store'd
	
	* path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
	IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
	at __init__.
	
	* iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
	called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.

2006-01-29  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
	KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly.  I'm not quite sure why the
	logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.

2006-01-29  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.

2006-01-27  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
	Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
	and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
	syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
	
	* "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
	user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.

2006-01-27  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
	'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
	NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
	("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
	
	* iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
	named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
	usage.
	
	* ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
	through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
	applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
	
	* ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
	
	* iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
	written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
	
	* Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
	%store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
	textual form, not a restorable pickle).
	
	* ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
	
	* usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
	
	* iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
	
	* GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
	are now more helpful:
	GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )

2006-01-25  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
	computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.

2006-01-24  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
	value to manipulate resulting history entry.
	
	* ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
	to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
	IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
	
	* Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1


2006-01-23  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
	eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.

	* Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
	
	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
	see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
	ipmagic("ls")).  After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
	(http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer.  This information is
	stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
	developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
	
	* Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
	
	* eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
	proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
	\python24\scripts).
	
	* ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
	egg.

2006-01-23  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code

2006-01-22  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
	
	* Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
	
	* eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
	proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
	\python24\scripts).
	
	* ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
	egg.

2006-01-22  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
	%pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
	Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.

	* IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
	bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes.  I'm not 100%
	sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
	today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.

	* IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
	it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
	To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
	users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
	proposed by IPython.  But there is a twist now: you can
	add/subtract only *one or two spaces*.  If you add/subtract three
	or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
	accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
	whitespace.  I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
	different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
	heuristics.  Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
	all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.

2006-01-21  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
	triggered asynchronously by signal handlers.  Thanks to an
	automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
	<tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
	
2006-01-20  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
	(%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
	with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
	importing extensions easy.
	
	* %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
	classes / instances of those classes.
	
	* Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
	ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
	if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
	the user.
	
	* Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
	This means system commands are available even without selecting the
	pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.

2006-01-20  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
	multiline code with autoindent on working.  But I am really not
	sure, so this needs more testing.  Will commit a debug-enabled
	version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
	others may also catch any problems.  Also made
	self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
	chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
	falling out of sync.  All code needing the string should just call
	the method.

2006-01-18  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
	save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.

2006-01-17  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
	script's namespace when executed via %run.  After a report by
	Vivian.

	* IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
	when using python 2.4.  The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
	we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
	readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
	After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.

2006-01-16  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
	that returns file contents on exit.
	
	* IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
	IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
	You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
	 sc files=ls
	 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
	     print p,p.mtime
	
	* Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
	now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
	hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
	instead of syntax error.
	

2006-01-14  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
	ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
	data.
	
	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
	as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
	backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
	"%cd long\ name" works as expected.

	* IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
	as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
	TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
	current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
	suggested by Walter Dörwald <[e-mail]>. Walter also
	requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.

2006-01-13  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
	so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
	label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
	current dir.

	* IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
	had to create new files.
	
	* IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
	shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
	future.

	* IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
	extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
	OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
	

2006-01-13  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
	attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on.  It
	introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
	robust combination which works in all cases.  Will have to revisit
	later.

	* IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function.  We've dropped
	2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.

2006-01-12  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
	matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
	operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
	Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
	many more potential bug cases with other operators.  The regexp is
	self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.

2006-01-12  Ville Vainio  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
	Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
	ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
	%magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
	ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
	particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
	won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
	magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
	deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
	!system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
	
	* doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
	use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
	by Jörgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
	doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
	
	* /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
	zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
	ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
	"setup.py install" between changes).
	
	* Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
	  if 1:
	      !ls
	      !!ls

2006-01-12  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
	IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
	module in case-insensitive installation.  Was causing crashes
	under win32.  Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
	<marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.

2006-01-11  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
	problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
	win32.

2006-01-10  *** Released version 0.7.0

2006-01-10  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
	ready for release.

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
	it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used.  This can
	help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
	where to copy the info from.

2006-01-09  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg.  Added
	support in the release tools as well.

2006-01-08  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
	version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
	parameter).  Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
	<arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.

	* IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
	embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
	prompt of the embedded ipython.  Reported by Arnd.

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic.  Now
	it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.

	* IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
	could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
	printer not to work.

2006-01-07  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48.  Patch by Scott.

2006-01-04  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
	backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation).  Thanks to Charlie
	Moad for help with tracking it down.

	* IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
	objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
	is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
	Ville's patch.

2006-01-03  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
	include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
	applied if there are no arguments on the line.  This allows you to
	just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
	instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
	mistake).  The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
	need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.

	* IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
	tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits.  After a report by
	Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.

2006-01-02  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
	Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
	for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
	added to the __builtin__ one.  Multiple embedded instances and
	recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
	I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
	twister).

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
	macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files).  %edit
	also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.

	* IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
	complete only on attributes listed in __all__.  I realized it
	cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
	internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
	attribute off-limits).  I got bit by this when trying to see
	something inside the dis module.

2005-12-31  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
	namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in.  This
	follows the discussion in
	http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.

	* IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
	tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
	<barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.

	* IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
	the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
	(closed endpoints).  This is used by %macro and %save.

	* IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
	define __all__, complete only on those.  After a patch by Jeffrey
	Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>.  Also, clean up and
	speed up this routine.

	* IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug.  I
	don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
	certainly much more correct.  Note that coupled with macros,
	slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
	general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
	in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
	(as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively).  Typing
	%hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
	pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
	it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
	using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
	class a new-style class.  Properties fail silently, and
	mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
	setters don't do anything).

2005-12-30  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
	know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
	reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
	falling out of sync...)

	* IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
	aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
	as loops).

	* IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
	win32 system access.

2005-12-29  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
	sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
	thread-safe.
	(_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
	introspect objects when autocall is off.  This will guarantee that
	having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
	'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE.  It
	is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
	can still happen.
	(ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
	trio.  IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
	not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
	be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
	the command line).  It gives us a better internal implementation
	structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
	cleanly.

	* IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
	file.  Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
	persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
	doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
	users' persisted data.

	* IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
	management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
	interactive one.  This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
	multiline input (such as macros).

	* IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
	Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
	which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
	(magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
	instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
	informative).

	* IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
	(minor mods) to support network shares under win32.

	* IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
	module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
	win32.  Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.

	* IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
	subclass list.  We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
	time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types.  No
	more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
	2.3-specific features quite yet).
	(magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
	persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
	<maphew-AT-gmail.com>.  The new %store magic's docstring has full
	details.

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
	changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
	'ipython_log.py'.  These logs are real python files, and now that
	we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
	want to use them as such.  Might as well name them correctly.

	* IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup.  While we can't stop
	using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
	there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
	cleaned out all cross-class name usage.  So once we are OK with
	breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.

	* IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup.  This one is NOT a mixin
	anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well.  New
	features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
	of output results.  These are user-visible with the -t and -o
	options to %logstart.  Closes
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
	William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).

2005-12-28  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
	better handle backslashes in paths.  See the thread 'More Windows
	questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
	list:
	http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html

	(InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.

	(InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
	ipython crash handler.  This was causing more problems than not,
	as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
	always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.

	The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
	synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
	verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well.  I also added
	support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
	so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.

	* IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
	true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file.  Since
	this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
	true by default.

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
	of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop.  I think
	this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
	a special role in the middle of the core code.

2005-12-27  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
	automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
	in it.  Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
	version committed).

	* IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
	input with emtpy lines.  This fixes
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
	discussion on the user list.

	WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
	blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
	break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
	default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.

	Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:

	  - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
	  - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
	by the autoindent (add or remove a space).

	* IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
	module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
	I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.

	* IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
	It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
	the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
	screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
	(MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
	otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
	on the entire global namespace.  This makes it easier to use the
	TAB key for indentation.  After a request by Hans Meine
	<hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
	(_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
	does a sensible thing.  Originally I tried to deviate as little as
	possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
	change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
	Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
	'>>>' prompt doesn't.
	(InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
	class.  By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
	copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
	class.  This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
	branch refactoring.

2005-12-26  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
	failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.

	* IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
	distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API.  This
	change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
	scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
	worked correctly).

	Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
	MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
	second argument (the others were bumped one position).

2005-12-25  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
	embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
	frame-handling fixes for pdb).
	(InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
	embedded instances.  We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
	and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
	embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__.  Thanks to
	a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>

	* setup.py: added download_url to setup().  This registers the
	download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
	browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
	machinery).  Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
	on this.

2005-12-23  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
	This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
	has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
	than before.  Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
	<vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.

2005-12-08  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
	sequence to consistently accept the banner argument.  The
	inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
	<gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.

2005-11-15  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
	Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
	cause a crash.  Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.

2005-11-15  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
	startup time.

	* IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
	instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code.  Now
	it's working in all cases.

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
	API changes.  A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
	has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
	searches.  Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
	per-search basis.

2005-11-13 Fernando Perez   <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
	attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses.  Modified version
	of a patch by Jorgen.

2005-11-12 Fernando Perez   <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
	embedded instances.  I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
	InteractiveShell class to handle this.

2005-10-31  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
	idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
	(reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
	Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>

2005-10-15  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
	patterns.  Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
	and end in b, for example.  The %psearch magic has full
	docstrings.  Many thanks to Jörgen Stenarson
	<jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
	implementing this functionality.

2005-09-27  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
	--prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version.  This
	is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided.  Many thanks
	to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
	help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
	rolling.  This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
	when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.

	* IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
	reported by Stephen Walton.

2005-09-24  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.

	* IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
	file and ensure it's closed afterwards.

2005-09-23  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
	tagging blocks for automatic execution.

	* IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
	syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.

2005-09-22  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
	finishing.

	* IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
	where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives.  I needed it for demo.py.

	* IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
	blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
	(Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.

	* IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
	code, handy in general.

	* IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
	demos.  Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
	scipy'05.  Will docstring later.

2005-09-20  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
	also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads!  This is
	so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before.  Needs more
	testing, though.
	(KBINT): Never mind, revert changes.  I'm sure I'd tried something
	like this before...

	* IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
	non-dirs in win32 registry.

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
	bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).

2005-09-06  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
	spurious newlines added by this routine.  After a report by
	F. Mantegazza.

2005-09-05  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
	calls.  These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
	problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
	os.getcwd() fails at init time.  Thanks to patch from David Remahl
	<chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
	(InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
	being shadowed by aliases.  Closes
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.

2005-08-31  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
	top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
	beyond readline-based environments.

2005-08-19  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.

	* IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
	attribute to self, which was missing.  Before, it was set by a
	routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
	instance could end up missing the attribute.  This caused a crash.
	Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.

2005-08-16  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
	contains non-string attribute.  Closes
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.

2005-08-14  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.

2005-08-12  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
	attribute.  I realized this is nothing more than
	'\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
	places is just asking for synchronization bugs.  This may impact
	people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
	ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).

2005-07-29  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)

2005-07-18  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
	invalid $HOME under win32.

2005-07-17  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe.  Also remove
	some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
	simpler and a bit faster.

	* IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
	to survive broken stdout/stderr.  That code was only making it
	harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
	and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
	(besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).

	* IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
	Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
	make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.

	* IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
	which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).

	* IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
	be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode).  This
	will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
	cases.  It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
	shows up unexpectedly in many places.  If ascii encoding fails, we
	assume utf_8.  Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
	setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.

	* IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.

	* IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.

	* IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.

	* IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
	code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.

2005-07-16  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
	out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
	tracebacks.  This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
	This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
	for the contribution.

	* IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
	slightly modified version of the patch in
	http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
	to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
	Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.

2005-06-08  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
	I/O a bit more.

	* IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
	warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.

2005-06-02  *** Released version 0.6.15

2005-06-01  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
	tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings.  Note that
	this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
	readline delimiters configuration to read:

	readline_remove_delims -/~
	

2005-05-31  *** Released version 0.6.14

2005-05-29  Fernando Perez  <[e-mail]>

	* IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
	with files not on the filesystem.  Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
