Version 4.1
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
. get-text-to-search is not a public-final
|
|
method. Searching now works by the to-be-searched
|
|
text notifying the frame (instead of the frame asking
|
|
which text should be searched) so probably you can
|
|
just remove the overridden method.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 4.0.2
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
. fixed a bug in profj that triggered bad behavior when planet
|
|
packages were installed via drscheme
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 4.0.1
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
. fixed a bug so that user-defined teachpacks can now be
|
|
added
|
|
|
|
. fixed a bug in PLaneT
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 4.0
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
. renamed "(module ...)" language to "Module"
|
|
|
|
. dropped "MzScheme" and "MrEd" as separate languages;
|
|
try `#lang scheme/load' with the "Module" language
|
|
|
|
. changed the "Pretty Big" and "R5RS" to assume by default
|
|
that pre-defined names will not be redefined
|
|
|
|
. renamed the get-special-menu method to get-insert-menu
|
|
|
|
. drscheme:debug:show-backtrace-window
|
|
now accepts srcloc structures.
|
|
|
|
. removed help-desk:help-desk from the tools interface.
|
|
Use the help collection instead.
|
|
|
|
. removed drscheme:debug:show-error-and-highlight from
|
|
the tools interface. Use drscheme:debug:error-display-handler/stacktrace
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
. current-print's behavior is different in DrScheme. It
|
|
now prints to a separate port (the same on the REPL
|
|
printer uses, namely with blue output) and the style of
|
|
printing that it uses is controlled by the language
|
|
dialog (which means that the `current-print' option is
|
|
now gone from the language dialog)
|
|
|
|
. drscheme:language:language-dialog and
|
|
drscheme:language:fill-language-dialog no longer accepts
|
|
the manuals? argument
|
|
|
|
. The order-manuals method is gone.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 372
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
. added auto-completion (only gets completions from
|
|
the documentation, not the lexical context).
|
|
|
|
. minor bug fixes
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 371
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
. bug fixes from 370p1 & 370p2, plus misc other small bugfixes
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 370
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
. changed teachpack support so that it is now
|
|
language-specific and languages no longer support
|
|
teachpacks by default.
|
|
|
|
. interface changes, related to teachpacks:
|
|
|
|
. create-executable method in
|
|
drscheme:language:language<%> no longer takes the
|
|
teachpack argument
|
|
|
|
. the get-init-code in
|
|
drscheme:language:simple-module-based-language no
|
|
longer accepts teachpacks as an argument.
|
|
|
|
. got rid of all drscheme:teachpack names
|
|
|
|
. front-end/complete-program and front-end/interaction
|
|
no longer accept a teachpack argument
|
|
|
|
. changed image.ss teachpack so that it accepts both exact
|
|
an inexact numbers (not just exact integers) for a
|
|
number of the primitives (it floors the numbers).
|
|
|
|
. changed the save format for color preferences. Due to a
|
|
bug in earlier versions, this means that color
|
|
preferences saved in earlier versions of DrScheme will
|
|
not be copied forward to this version.
|
|
|
|
These functions are renamed:
|
|
|
|
color-prefs:marshall-style => color-prefs:marshall-style-delta
|
|
color-prefs:unmarshall-style => color-prefs:unmarshall-style-delta
|
|
color-prefs:register-color-pref => color-prefs:register-color-preference
|
|
|
|
If you used those functions before, do not use the new
|
|
ones with the same preference symbol as you used in old
|
|
versions, or else the old version of your app (or
|
|
drscheme) will fail to start up.
|
|
|
|
. changed the frame:editor-mixin, frame:text-mixin and
|
|
frame:pasteboard-mixin slightly so that one can supply
|
|
the editor class as an initialization argument
|
|
(overriding the get-editor% method still works, but now
|
|
that method defaults to the initialization argument)
|
|
|
|
. added an extra, mandatory argument to calc-button-sizes
|
|
and draw-button-label in mrlib's name-message.ss. Use
|
|
small-control-font to get the old behavior.
|
|
|
|
. added a new, optional, argument to the initializer of
|
|
name-message%.
|
|
|
|
. The teaching languages now add a #reader wrapper to
|
|
saved files. Although the content of the file, when
|
|
viewed in drscheme, does not change, this does mean that
|
|
drscheme "remembers" which language was used for each
|
|
file, even if you change languages when editing other
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
. added get-reader-module, get-metadata,
|
|
metadata->settings, and get-metadata-lines methods to
|
|
the drscheme:language:language<%> interface
|
|
|
|
. the framework preferences library now saves prefs each
|
|
time any one of them is changed, and works better when
|
|
multiple apps are both using the library. As a
|
|
consequence of this, preferences:save is no longer in
|
|
the library. Just remove any calls to it and your code
|
|
should work fine.
|
|
|
|
. split the preferences library out from the framework, so
|
|
it does not have to depend on mred
|
|
|
|
. removed (from the framework): exn:struct:exn,
|
|
exn:make-exn, and exn:exn?
|
|
|
|
. added preferences:restore-prefs-snapshot,
|
|
preferences:get-prefs-snapshot, and preferences:snaphot?
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 353
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
. right clicking on the line/column offset display in the
|
|
bottom part of drscheme's window lets you toggle between
|
|
character offsets (from the beginning of the buffer) and
|
|
line/column counts.
|
|
|
|
. user-defined keybindings can now be loaded directly from
|
|
PLaneT, via a new menu item in the Edit menu.
|
|
|
|
. the keybindings now have access to the same stuff as the
|
|
tools, via the require line:
|
|
|
|
(require (lib "tool-lib.ss" "drscheme"))
|
|
|
|
. in the non-debug languages, drscheme now trims its own
|
|
stack frames from the top of the stack before showing
|
|
them in the REPL.
|
|
|
|
. the get-language-numbers method in
|
|
drscheme:language:language<%> now requires its results
|
|
to be completely unique, wrt to other languages (until
|
|
now, the last number didn't have to be unique)
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 351
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
. the or/c contract now accepts multiple higher-order
|
|
contracts, as long as they can be distinguished by some
|
|
first-order property (for example, the arity of the
|
|
function).
|
|
|
|
. failures of the first-order aspects of contracts are now
|
|
checked in the module that provides, not just the
|
|
requiring module. This means that this module:
|
|
|
|
(module m mzscheme
|
|
(require (lib "contract.ss"))
|
|
(provide/contact [f (-> integer? integer?)])
|
|
(define (f x y) x))
|
|
|
|
will signal an error as soon as it is required, rather
|
|
than waiting for a variable reference to `f' (as it used
|
|
to).
|
|
|
|
. rewrote some of the internals of the contract library to
|
|
get a factor of 2 speedup for tight loops that do a lot
|
|
of contract checking (FWIW, I had introduced this
|
|
slowdown a few months ago in an attempt to optimize ...)
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 350
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
[ The top three in this list were in 350, but weren't
|
|
listed in the release notes at the time of the
|
|
release. oops. ]
|
|
|
|
. contract-violation->string parameter: now takes one fewer
|
|
argument. It is no longer passed the `other-party'. Similarly,
|
|
raise-contract-error no longer accepts the other party argument.
|
|
|
|
. added one-of/c to contract library
|
|
|
|
. remap [ to be ``smart'' (ie often but not always change the square
|
|
bracket to a paren)
|
|
|
|
. Added two new keybindings to DrScheme (in Scheme mode):
|
|
|
|
c-c; c-o move-sexp-out: the sexpression following the insertion
|
|
point is put in place of its containing sexpression.
|
|
|
|
c-c; c-l insert-let-binding: wraps a let around the sexpression
|
|
following the insertion point and puts a printf in at that point
|
|
(useful for debugging)
|
|
|
|
. Case-insensitivity is now available in DrScheme's search box,
|
|
courtesy of Jens Axel Sogaard. Thanks!
|
|
|
|
. The image.ss teachpack now uses smoothed images.
|
|
|
|
. drscheme-language-positions and
|
|
drscheme-language-readers now allows relative paths for
|
|
language module specifications.
|
|
|
|
. Added `this', implicitly bound in ->r and ->pp contracts
|
|
when used inside `object-contract'
|
|
|
|
. union is now deprecated in favor of or/c. It's the same
|
|
combinator, but it matches other names in the contract library.
|
|
|
|
. Added `this', implicitly bound in ->r and ->pp contracts
|
|
when used inside `object-contract'
|
|
|
|
. Help Desk's font size is now independently configurable
|
|
(from Drscheme's font size).
|
|
|
|
. Help Desk no longer asks about non-http urls; it always
|
|
just ships them off to the OS to handle.
|
|
|
|
. Various url struct changes to fix bugs related to
|
|
mailto: url handling and handling of multiple params in
|
|
a path segment.
|
|
|
|
. the scheme and host are now always lowercased by
|
|
string->url
|
|
|
|
. the library no longer adds an empty path to the end of
|
|
urls like "http://www.drscheme.org", meaning that the
|
|
url-path can sometimes now be an empty list (the
|
|
contract always allowed this, but it didn't happen
|
|
before).
|
|
|
|
. added path-absolute? field to url struct, following
|
|
rfc 3986's nomenclature -- when #t, it means the path
|
|
portion of the url began with a slash and when #f it
|
|
means that it didn't.
|
|
|
|
. more care is taken when quoting path portions of the url
|
|
and when turning urls into strings
|
|
|
|
. path segments are now always path/param structs and
|
|
the param part of a path/param struct is now a list of
|
|
strings
|
|
|
|
. add 'up and 'same as possible path segments (in the
|
|
path field of a path/param struct), in addition to
|
|
strings (as before).
|
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 300
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Added support for user-definable keybindings. See the new
|
|
menus at the bottom of the Edit menu (and their
|
|
documentation) for details.
|
|
|
|
- DrScheme's background color for the definitions and
|
|
interactions window is now configurable.
|
|
|
|
- The regular expression language for the lexer has changed.
|
|
See doc.txt in the parser-tools collection.
|
|
(This isn't a DrScheme change per se.)
|
|
|
|
- Check syntax can (when using modules) go to the
|
|
definition site of an imported variable.
|
|
|
|
- the PLTDRDEBUG environment variable now works much
|
|
better. Thanks to improvements in cm, setting it now
|
|
builds .zos with errortrace and should make porting tools
|
|
to v300 much easier.
|
|
|
|
- set the PLTDRBREAK environment variable to get a window
|
|
with two buttons that are useful for debugging deadlocks
|
|
& infinite loops. The buttons break drscheme's
|
|
eventspace's main thread and all threads started by
|
|
drscheme (and tools) resp. Useful in combination with
|
|
PLTDRDEBUG
|
|
|
|
- tool & framework interface changes:
|
|
|
|
. remove exn:locs; this functionality is now in
|
|
mzscheme itself.
|
|
|
|
. removed drscheme:unit:make-bitmap. Use
|
|
(lib "bitmap-label.ss" "mrlib") instead.
|
|
|
|
. contract name changes (overall, removed all of the /f,
|
|
/p, and ? suffixes in favor of the /c suffix)
|
|
|
|
not/f => not/c
|
|
box/p => box/c
|
|
cons/p => cons/c
|
|
vector/p => vector/c
|
|
list/p => list/c
|
|
any? => any/c
|
|
printable? => printable/c
|
|
false? => false/c
|
|
natural-number? => natural-number/c
|
|
|
|
|
|
. The framework still probhits editing of files that are
|
|
read-only, but rather than using the editor<%>'s lock
|
|
method, it overrides can-insert? and can-delete? in
|
|
text%. Accordingly, several and interfaces are now gone
|
|
and the functionality has moved into existing
|
|
mixins. These are now gone:
|
|
|
|
frame:file<%>
|
|
frame:file-mixin
|
|
frame:text-info-file%
|
|
|
|
. can-close? in editor:basic is now an augmentable method.
|
|
|
|
. render-value and render-value/format no longer take the
|
|
put-snip argument. Use write-special on the port
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
. order-manuals in
|
|
drscheme:tool:language-configuration<%> now accepts
|
|
(and returns) lists of bytes, not lists of strings.
|
|
|
|
. front-end/complete-program and front-end/interaction
|
|
methods now accept a port, instead of an `input'.
|
|
|
|
. added an extra argument to create-executable in
|
|
drscheme:language:language<%> and get-init-code in
|
|
drscheme:language:module-based-language<%>
|
|
|
|
- errortrace internal interface has changed (see docs for
|
|
details)
|
|
|
|
- added ->r contract combinator
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 209
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Several small errors in the ProfessorJ compiler have been corrected.
|
|
Additionally, the native method interface has been updated to
|
|
provide more access to class members by the native method.
|
|
|
|
* The interfaces and implementations for several HtDP and HtDCH
|
|
teachpacks have changed:
|
|
+ the World class for HtDCH now supplies 'draw' and 'erase' methods
|
|
+ its event callbacks are guaranteed to call erase before and draw
|
|
after handling a tick or keyboard event
|
|
+ the world.ss teachpack provides a nw:rectangle function for
|
|
creating rectangles whose pinhole is in the northwest corner.
|
|
|
|
* Oleg Kiselyov's SSAX/SXML is included in the distribution.
|
|
|
|
The SSAX/SXML libraries provides functions for reading, writing and
|
|
manipulating XML data. In addition, the package supports the
|
|
definition of XML languages and exports machinery for transforming
|
|
XML documents based on concise specifications. SSAX/SXML is the
|
|
foundation for a variety of other XML packages in Scheme. For more
|
|
information, see http://ssax.sourceforge.net/ and the documentation
|
|
in the "ssax" collection.
|
|
|
|
* Swindle is now included and maintained with PLT Scheme.
|
|
|
|
Swindle is an extension of PLT Scheme. The main feature is a
|
|
CLOS-like object system based on Tiny-CLOS from Xerox. Additional
|
|
syntactic extensions include: :keyword values and optional CL-style
|
|
argument lists; syntactic sugar for `define's and `let's; generic
|
|
`set!'; `defsubst' & `letsubst' for defining simple macros,
|
|
`letsyntax', `letsubst' and `letmacro' than can bind identifier
|
|
macros; a list-comprehension macro `list-of' with an extensive
|
|
generic version `collect'; an `echo' mechanism for complex output
|
|
formatting including list iterations; customizing printings via a
|
|
`print-object' generic; `amb', adopted from Dorai's TYSiFD, and
|
|
more.
|
|
|
|
Like Scheme in DrScheme, Swindle has several language levels. It is
|
|
also possible to use its features on a selective basis.
|
|
|
|
Those extensions that are not directly related to Tiny CLOS are
|
|
likely to migrate into MzLib.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 207
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Wizards for ProfessorJ added
|
|
+ union wizard
|
|
+ class wizard
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 206p1
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Check Syntax disabled in professorJ languages.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 206
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Help Desk searching is now language-sensitive.
|
|
|
|
- Check syntax is now integrated (better) with the syntax
|
|
colorer.
|
|
|
|
- Check Syntax now distinguishes between require'd
|
|
and locally defined identifiers.
|
|
|
|
- added the ability to specify a command-line to the module
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
- Help Desk's status messages are now in the frame and
|
|
it's break button is also in the frame (no more modal
|
|
dialog)
|
|
|
|
- Check Syntax now does a better job of navigating amoung
|
|
occurrences of a single variable. The popup menu lets you
|
|
go from a bound occurrence to a binding occurrence and
|
|
from a binding occurrence to the next binding occurrence.
|
|
|
|
Also added two keystrokes: c-x;n to go to the next bound
|
|
occurrence and c-x;b to to the binding occurrence.
|
|
|
|
- show menu => view menu, added show/hide for the toolbar
|
|
|
|
- multi file search works much better
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 205
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- the teaching languages color the portion of the program
|
|
that has not been tested in dark red (using a simple
|
|
syntactic coverage criterion -- dark red means untested,
|
|
but not dark red doesn't mean fully tested, of course).
|
|
|
|
- added a test coverage annotation for other languages in
|
|
the "details" portion of the languages dialog; run the
|
|
program and it colors the code that was executed in
|
|
green and code that wasn't executed in red.
|
|
|
|
- fixed up help desk fonts, so that the font size in help
|
|
desk is now linked to the font size in drscheme proper.
|
|
|
|
- added support for editor modes to drscheme.
|
|
|
|
- drscheme shows the stack via arrows on the program text
|
|
when an error occurs (and debugging is on)
|
|
|
|
- added to special menu item: "insert delta" (to mean
|
|
define) in parallel to the insert lambda menu item.
|
|
|
|
- framework's scheme-mode font changed to be in an editor
|
|
mixin.
|
|
|
|
- macos: drscheme doesn't quit when all windows are closed
|
|
anymore.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 204
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- contract -> supports multiple values using this syntax:
|
|
|
|
(-> integer? (values integer? integer?))
|
|
|
|
- parenthesis highlight color is now configurable
|
|
|
|
- integrated the module browser into the main drscheme
|
|
window. Use the show menu to open a panel on the lhs of
|
|
the drscheme window containing a DAG representing the
|
|
modules that are required (only works for programs in
|
|
modules).
|
|
|
|
- integrated Bruce Hauman's rewrite of the match.ss
|
|
library (ongoing).
|
|
|
|
- added arrows to check syntax that show the (syntactic)
|
|
tail structure of the program.
|
|
|
|
- fixed many many problems with Help Desk. Some of the
|
|
more interesting ones:
|
|
- manual downloading now works.
|
|
- bug report form is a mred window now.
|
|
- doc.txt highlighting is in the right place now
|
|
- doc.txt search restults now go to the right place
|
|
- servlets are now modules (with no more free vars)
|
|
- browser menus work properly
|
|
- urls outside of our documentation use an external browser
|
|
- eliminated many (now unecessary) redirections
|
|
- various responsiveness improvements
|
|
|
|
- help desk as a standalone web server isn't supported
|
|
anymore.
|
|
|
|
- added a status line class to the framework, which is
|
|
used for check syntax and the module browser. both show
|
|
status as the check the program and show information on
|
|
mouse-over. Also, the contour window shows you the line
|
|
under the mouse in a status line on mouse over.
|
|
|
|
- added an extra level of hierarchy to the language
|
|
dialog, but without the turn-down triangles. this helps
|
|
organize the language dialog somewhat.
|
|
|
|
- the top level function declarations in algol60 are now
|
|
available in the REPL and in the test suite tool
|
|
|
|
- Removed `Windows' menu from windows and unix versions.
|
|
|
|
- Windows installer generates Program menu shortcuts for
|
|
all users
|
|

Version 203
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
GENERAL
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- added test suite support for use with the How to Design
|
|
Programs
|
|
|
|
- added support for recovering autosave files when DrScheme
|
|
crashes
|
|
|
|
- the draw.ss teachpack now provides the function
|
|
|
|
get-key-event : -> Key
|
|
|
|
This function enables programmers who use the draw.ss
|
|
teachpack to write interactive drawing games.
|
|
Warning: The function fails intermittently on Mac OS X. We intend
|
|
to fix this problem in a future release.
|
|
|
|
- Help Desk users can choose whether they wish to use a
|
|
frame-based version. A toggle switch for this choice (in the
|
|
form of a link) appears on the Help Desk home page. It can
|
|
also be changed in the Help Desk configuration.
|
|
|
|
- Help Desk users can once again use the PLT internal browser;
|
|
look for the browser preference in DrScheme's preferences panel
|
|
|
|
- removed an error in MrEd for Windows that was a frequent source of
|
|
instability
|
|

|
|
Version 202
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
GENERAL
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- improved the comment boxes
|
|
|
|
- interaction between Help Desk and the external browser
|
|
should be much better
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Version 201
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
GENERAL
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- many misc bug fixes
|
|
|
|
- improved the create executable interface
|
|
|
|
- got rid of the "text box" and added in "comment"
|
|
boxes. commenting out code now uses those comment boxes.
|
|
|
|
- Help Desk now uses an external browser
|
|
|
|
FRAMEWORK AND TOOLS
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- contracts have moved from
|
|
|
|
(lib "specs.ss" "framework")
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
(lib "contracts.ss")
|
|
|
|
- The create-executable method of
|
|
drscheme:language:language<%> has changed. It no longer
|
|
receives the filename for the executable; instead the
|
|
method must prompt the user. See either
|
|
`drscheme:language:put-executable-file' or
|
|
`drscheme:language:create-executable-gui' for two methods
|
|
of getting a filename from the user.

Version 200
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
THINGS MISSING (as compared to 103)
|
|
|
|
- project manager (use `module' instead)
|
|
|
|
GENERAL
|
|
|
|
- added profiling support. DrScheme colors your program text
|
|
based on the time spent in each portion of the code.
|
|
|
|
- Added support for other natural languages for DrScheme's
|
|
GUI. French and Spanish are most up to date; German and
|
|
Danish are also included (but incomplete).
|
|
|
|
- added a module browser for seeing the entire program and
|
|
dependencies among modules in a single window.
|
|
|
|
- added XML boxes (a quasi-quote/unquote feature for XML
|
|
using embedded editors). See the DrScheme manual for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
- added a code ``contour'' window that is
|
|
visible along the rhs of the drscheme
|
|
window. Use the `show' menu to make
|
|
it visible.
|
|
|
|
- drscheme's new version window is now a
|
|
modified version of the language dialog
|
|
|
|
- the language settings are now frame-specific.
|
|
If you change the language in one
|
|
window, it won't affect execute in another window;
|
|
the most recently set language is what is
|
|
used for newly created windows.
|
|
|
|
- added "Open recent" menu item
|
|
|
|
- added a preference called "Reuse existing DrScheme frame"
|
|
that, when opening new files, causes DrScheme to replace
|
|
the existing frame.
|
|
|
|
- bug reports now go to the new bugs.plt-scheme.org
|
|
server (and to bugs@plt-scheme.org)
|
|
|
|
- error messages output improved
|
|
|
|
- added a mechanism for collapsing and expanding
|
|
sexpressions to drscheme. right-click to collapse the
|
|
enclosing sexpression to something like (...) and right
|
|
click on that to expand it back to the previous text.
|
|
|
|
- added an emacs-like c-x c-b feature to drscheme.
|
|
Type <menukey>-j to popup a window of the open frames
|
|
and choose one without using the mouse by typing.
|
|
|
|
- added <menukey>-minus and <menukey>-plus as shortcuts to
|
|
move to the next and previous menus
|
|
|
|
- The enter key now submits the interaction in the REPL,
|
|
even if the cursor isn't at the end of a sexpression.
|
|
|
|
- It is possible to switch the interface language of
|
|
DrSheme's GUI. The mechanism is in place, in any
|
|
case. The translations aren't yet, so you probably
|
|
don't want to try to switch. Also, you will see
|
|
funny warnings when starting up DrScheme to that
|
|
effect. Ignore them unless you are working on
|
|
the translation.
|
|
|
|
- drscheme constructor and quasiquote printers
|
|
now shows syntax's structure, and module-path-index
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
- DrScheme's quasiquote printer now works a little bit
|
|
better for expressions like '('a 'a).
|
|
It used to show `((,'quote a) (,'quote a)), but
|
|
now it shows `('a 'a).
|
|
|
|
- The portion of space between the definitions and
|
|
interactions window is now interactively changable.
|
|
|
|
- the bug report form now connects to bugs.drscheme.org
|
|
instead of cs.rice.edu directly, so earthlink users
|
|
should be able to submit PRs via Help Desk.
|
|
|
|
- adding splitting of the definitions and interactions
|
|
canvases, to be able to see two different parts of the
|
|
buffer simultaneously
|
|
|
|
- when saving or executing,
|
|
if the file has been overwritten in the filesystem,
|
|
drscheme prompts you to make sure you want to overwrite
|
|
or execute the file.
|
|
|
|
- added Teach Youself Scheme in Fixnum Days to
|
|
DrScheme's documentation.
|
|
|
|
- implicit sequencing has been eliminated from the advanced language
|
|
level in order to give better error messages. Use an explicit `begin'
|
|
for sequencing. (this change was made between 102 and
|
|
103, but we forgot to put it into the release notes)
|
|
|
|
- teachpacks finally support macro definitions.
|
|
|
|
- there is now a little eof icon next to the input box when
|
|
input is expected. you can click it send an eof. It closes
|
|
the input port until execute is next clicked.
|
|
|
|
- many minor improvements to the Help Desk html renderer.
|
|
|
|
- the filename button (in the top right of the drs frame)
|
|
now pops up a menu of the directories
|
|
that contain the saved file's directories. Choose one
|
|
to open a `get-file' dialog in that directory.
|
|
|
|
- (without checking the syntax) the right click context-sensitive menu
|
|
has an entry to search based either on the selection, or on the text
|
|
that was clicked on.
|
|
|
|
- DrScheme now prints exact real numbers as graphical fractions
|
|
(instead of the (+ 1 1/2) notation). These are also valid as
|
|
input, but you have to copy and paste to get them into your
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
- Added an "insert fraction" menu item to the edit menu for
|
|
inserting fractions directly into the program.
|
|
|
|
FRAMEWORK and TOOLS
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- added HO function contracts.
|
|
|
|
- it is now possible to add languages to DrScheme,
|
|
as tools.
|
|
|
|
- changed many filenames to match the new -unit.ss, and -sig.ss
|
|
convention instead of the old r.ss and s.ss convention.
|
|
|
|
- changed guiutils.ss to gui-utils.ss in framework collection.
|
|
|
|
- tools are now specified in info.ss files in top-level
|
|
collections, rather than in a subcollection of the
|
|
drscheme collection (see the tools manual for details).
|
|
|
|
- added gui-utils:alphabetic-list-box% to framework
|
|
|
|
- added `expand-program' to tools interface for
|
|
tools that process program text.
|
|
|
|
- exit:exit and exit:can-exit? now accept optional
|
|
booleans that specify if the user should be asked
|
|
about quitting.
|
|
|
|
- the splash screen now only allows a single
|
|
splash screen (per namespace).
|
|
|
|
Version 103:
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- typing characters in to the definitions and interactions window
|
|
should be more responsive now (it was noticably slow on slower
|
|
machines)
|
|
|
|
- files added to projects are now stored as relative files,
|
|
by default. (use project menu to change the default)
|
|
|
|
- project files are saved using a platform-independant syntax for
|
|
paths now.
|
|
|
|
- Using file|open and choosing a project file (based on contents) will open
|
|
the project file. (this only will work with project files saved in this
|
|
version -- old project files won't be recognized until they are
|
|
saved once.)
|
|
|
|
- Opening or a .plt file will install the .plt file, after querying the user.
|
|
|
|
- added break button to project windows
|
|
(does the same thing as the break menu item always did)
|
|
|
|
- added save button and little "full name" thingy to project
|
|
frames
|
|
|
|
- DrScheme permits the use of "." (period) as an identifier in the
|
|
student language levels.
|
|
|
|
- implicit sequencing has been eliminated from the advanced language
|
|
level in order to give better error messages. Use an explicit `begin'
|
|
for sequencing.
|
|
|
|
Version 102:
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- the help desk language level specific documentation has been
|
|
integrated into drscheme.
|
|
|
|
- errortrace-like facility is now available in drscheme debug
|
|
language levels. Click on the bug next to an error message to see
|
|
a trace of the continuation of the error.
|
|
|
|
- drscheme-jr now supports teachpacks
|
|
(those that don't use GUIs, like htdp/dir.ss)
|
|
|
|
- launchers can now be run from any directory.
|
|
They do not need to be saved in a particular place (this has been
|
|
true for some time, but it is officially true now.).
|
|
|
|
- the debug full scheme languages now allow loading of files
|
|
that contain graphics.
|
|
|
|
- #! is treated like a comment when executing the defintions window,
|
|
if it is the first two characters in the definitions window.
|
|
|
|
- rarely used save menu items relegated to sub-menu.
|
|
|
|
- added a "keymap" menu to the edit menu (shortcut: k)
|
|
that opens a window where you can see all of the key
|
|
bindings' names and short cuts, and you can choose one
|
|
to invoke.
|
|
|
|
- added a "Kill" menu item that kills all computation and reclaims
|
|
all resources from the program that drscheme is executing.
|
|
This is useful for multi-threaded apps that get out of hand.
|
|
|
|
- meta-control-d, meta-control-u, meta-shift-control-d, meta-shift-control-u
|
|
keybindings all restored.
|
|
|
|
- drscheme now has a little button on the bar that lets you hop
|
|
around between definitions in the program. It is approximate in
|
|
that it doesn't really know every detail about the lexical
|
|
structure of scheme, but it should still be quite useful.
|
|
|
|
- interactions window now shows the names of the teachpacks that
|
|
were installed at last execute.
|
|
|
|
- drscheme now allows multiple teachpacks.
|
|
|
|
- teachpack names are not in the area with the execute button, instead
|
|
they are now shown in the language menu.
|
|
|
|
- repl errors that are in some loaded file have little clickable
|
|
icons that open the file and show the error's source location in
|
|
the file.
|
|
|
|
- Only the platform-specific dialogs are used in drscheme now, on
|
|
all platforms. The preference has been removed from the dialog.
|
|
|
|
- project files are `load'able. That is, if you have the right
|
|
language settings, you can do
|
|
|
|
mzscheme -qmvr myproj.proj
|
|
|
|
and have the same effect as clicking execute on the project
|
|
window. For mred, you will need to do something like this:
|
|
|
|
mred -qmvr myproj.proj -e "(yield (make-semaphore 0))"
|
|
|
|
so that mred doesn't quit automatically.
|
|
|
|
- Help Desk now has a "feeling lucky" option ala google (menu
|
|
shortcut: l). It goes directly to the first item that would have
|
|
been found in a regular search.
|
|
|
|
- Clicking on an error message link in drscheme now uses the "feeling
|
|
lucky" style search in help desk.
|
|
|
|
- clicking on the name in the topleft of the drscheme frame opens a
|
|
little window with the full path.
|
|
|
|
- check syntax now shows its syntax errors in a separate window.
|
|
|
|
- the teaching languages now come with:
|
|
|
|
make-posn, posn-x, posn-y, and posn?
|
|
|
|
by default (no library required).
|
|
|
|
- teaching levels print exact numbers whose denominators are evenly
|
|
disivible by 2 and 5 as decimals.
|
|
|
|
- teaching levels treat input decimals as exact numbers.
|
|
|
|
- in the main help-desk window, space does pgdn and backspace does
|
|
pgup, ala netscape. Also, typing return or enter while the cursor
|
|
is on a link follows the link.
|
|
|
|
- added class/d macro. It's syntax is like that for a unit, but it
|
|
defines a class. Roughly:
|
|
|
|
(class/d
|
|
super-expresion
|
|
init-args
|
|
((public var ...)
|
|
(override var ...)
|
|
(inherit var ...)
|
|
(rename (var var) ...))
|
|
|
|
definitions-and-expressions ...)
|
|
|
|
This a new part of macro.ss in the mzlib library
|
|
|
|
Tools and Framework
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
- drscheme:rep:process-text/zodiac and
|
|
drscheme:rep:process-text/no-zodiac
|
|
are now called drscheme:load-handler:process-text/zodiac and
|
|
drscheme:load-handler:process-text/no-zodiac.
|
|
|
|
- added a slew of -on-demand methods to frame:standard-menus-mixin
|
|
|
|
- the framework now imports a definition of the preferences
|
|
file location. Use this to have a separate preferences file
|
|
for each different application.
|
|
|
|
- do not use 'drscheme:settings anymore to get the current
|
|
language settings from drscheme. Now, use
|
|
|
|
drscheme:language:settings-preferences-symbol
|
|
|
|
(which is bound to the right symbol) instead.
|
|
|
|
- setup plt's ``clean'' info.ss flag does not recur
|
|
into subdirectories anymore.
|
|
|
|
- the graphics library (sometimes known as sixlib) no longer
|
|
accepts any scaling arguments.
|
|
|
|
- the framework's preferences system now requires you to
|
|
set the marshall/unmarshalling functions (if any) before
|
|
setting the default preference.
|
|
|
|
- drscheme now supports site-specific default preferences.
|
|
To use, create a file prefs.ss in the defaults collection
|
|
that is a copy of the preferences file that you want to
|
|
be the defaults. Then, if the user-specific preferences file
|
|
doesn't exist (or the preferences in it are from an old version),
|
|
the contents of the prefs.ss file in the defaults collection is
|
|
used as the preferences.
|
|
|
|
- drscheme now wraps uses with-handlers so that if a tool
|
|
signals an error when it is loaded or invoked, it just
|
|
puts a window with the error message and continues, instead
|
|
of keeping drscheme from starting up.
|
|
|
|
- the .plt installer no longer automatically deletes compiled
|
|
files when installing a .plt file.
|
|
|
|
- setup-plt now uses the 'clean flag in info.ss to determine
|
|
the files to be deleted when --clean-ing a collection. It
|
|
defaults to the files in the "compiled" sub-collection of a
|
|
collection.
|
|
|
|
- setup-plt no longer automatically runs --clean when installing
|
|
a .plt file.
|
|
|
|
- framework:
|
|
- added canonicalize-keybinding-string
|
|
- added aug-keymap%, aug-keymap<%>
|
|
- editor:basic now sets it's keymap to an
|
|
aug-keymap<%> during initialization.
|
|
|
|
- the framework's info frame mixins no longer require frame:editor<%>
|
|
as an input. Also, they are moved lower in the hierarchy of the
|
|
instantiated mixin classes in the framework. This affects all of the
|
|
frame:XX% classes.
|
|
|
|
tools:
|
|
- ensure-interactions-shown is now ensure-rep-shown
|
|
- do-many-buffer-evals is now do-many-text-evals
|
|
|
|
- clever-file-format now symetrically changes the file's format to
|
|
'standard. It used to rever the file format to 'text when there
|
|
were no more images in it. Now, it also changes back to non-'text
|
|
when images (and other non-string-snips) are added back.
|
|
|
|
- the framework's gui-utils:get-snips/chars-from-buffer is now
|
|
gui-utils:get-snips/chars-from-text
|
|
|
|
- zodiac now supports graphical expressions. If a snip implements
|
|
zodiac's expand<%> interface, zodiac calls a method of the snip to
|
|
expand it.
|
|
|
|
- the drscheme:get/extend:extend-* functions no longer haver %s at
|
|
the end of their names.

Version 101:
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- The teaching libraries are now called teachpacks. See the teachpack
|
|
release notes for more information.
|
|
|
|
- DrScheme's languages have changed (again). The langauges are now:
|
|
|
|
- Beginning Student
|
|
- Intermediate Student
|
|
- Advanced Student
|
|
- Full Scheme, which contains:
|
|
- Graphical Full Scheme (with and without debugging), and
|
|
- Textual Full Scheme (with and without debugging)
|
|
|
|
- Help Desk now supports bug report submissions. Please use it in
|
|
favor of the web based form. To submit a bug, follow the "Sumbit a
|
|
Bug" link near the bottom of Help Desk's front page
|
|
|
|
- On European keyboards, the backslash character
|
|
may not work properly in DrScheme. If you
|
|
experience this problem, comment out this line:
|
|
|
|
(map-meta "\\" "remove-space")
|
|
|
|
in PLTHOME/collects/framework/keymap.ss.
|
|
|
|
- For tools, invoke-library is now called invoke-teachpack.
|
|
|
|
- Renamed two files in the graphics collection:
|
|
graphic.ss is now graphics.ss
|
|
graphics.ss is now graphicss.ss
|
|
|
|
- DrScheme's print menu now inserts the time, date and filename in the
|
|
header of the file to be printed.
|
|
|
|
- comment/uncomment is improved. Now, it blindly adds a semicolon to the
|
|
front of each line (and doesn't add extra semicolons on following lines)
|
|
and aways removes one semicolon (if present) from the front of each line.
|
|
|
|
- Parenthesis highlighting now turns unmatched parens red
|
|
in addition to turning matched parenthesis regions grey.
|
|
Also (now that the caret flashes) if the caret is between two
|
|
parens, both before and after parens will be highlighted,
|
|
not just the ones before.
|
|
|
|
Thus, every time the cursor is next to an uncommented
|
|
paren, the programmer sees some feedback about the paren.

Version 100:
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- DrScheme's languages have changed. The new languages are:
|
|
|
|
- Beginner
|
|
- Intermediate
|
|
- Advanced
|
|
- MzScheme
|
|
- MrEd
|
|
|
|
The first three languages are essentially the same as in version
|
|
53, except that graphics primitives have been removed. (Instead,
|
|
domain-specific graphics commands can be loaded as libraries.) The
|
|
turtles remain in the advanced language.
|
|
|
|
The MzScheme and MrEd languages match exactly the languages
|
|
provided by the MzScheme and MrEd executables.
|
|
|
|
- A simple algebraic stepper, dubbed The Foot, is now available. The
|
|
Foot permits users to construct a source-level evaluation trace for
|
|
programs written in the Beginner language. It will be expanded in
|
|
future releases.
|
|
|
|
- DrScheme's Help Desk provides online help for DrScheme, its
|
|
languages, and its libraries.
|
|
|
|
- Graphics functions were removed from the teaching languages
|
|
(Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced), except Turtles in
|
|
Advanced. To use graphics functions, you must select a library (and
|
|
the teaching libraries are not yet updated).
|
|
|
|
- The old viewport-based graphics library can be loaded into the MrEd
|
|
Debug language via (require-library "graphic.ss" "graphics").
|
|
|
|
- I/O within DrScheme is substantially improved.
|
|
|
|
- The library and tool interfaces for extended DrScheme have
|
|
changed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 53:
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- view menu items now have accelerators
|
|
|
|
- (<= exp) isn't allowed in beginner. (same for <, >, and >=)
|
|
|
|
- print primitive is now setup correctly to print based on the language level
|
|
|
|
- paren-matching in semi-colon comments is disabled
|
|
|
|
- info panel "running" message is now aligned correctly
|
|
|
|
- The check synatax and analyze buttons are now disabled during evaluation
|
|
|
|
- library directory now starts in "MZLIB_COLLECTS_DIR/../../lib"
|
|
which is our best approximation to "PLTHOME/lib"
|
|
|
|
- elevator library can now select more than one floor at a time
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 52:
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
- The words "running" or "not running" at the bottom of the
|
|
DrScheme frame indicate whether or not work is happening in the
|
|
user's program.
|
|
|
|
- a "Windows" menu has been added which keeps track of the currently
|
|
open drscheme windows.
|
|
|
|
- the source locations for "load"ed files now match the numbers
|
|
in the bottom of the drscheme window.
|
|
|
|
- the thread that evaluations (including execution) take place on is
|
|
the same as the eventspace's main thread, unless the evaluation
|
|
thread is killed. In that case, the eventspace's main thread is
|
|
re-generated, but the execution thread does not.
|
|
|
|
- The REPL implementation has been cleaned up.
|
|
|
|
- the turtles window does not survive across executions anymore
|
|
|
|
- the Quasi-R4RS language level has been renamed to R4RS+
|
|
|
|
DrScheme Tools/Libraries
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- new methods on rep:edit%: report-exception-error accepts an exception and
|
|
prints the error message in the console.
|
|
|
|
- send-scheme is outdated. Use run-in-evaluation-thread instead
|
|
|
|
- the drscheme:tool^ signature has changed. A new subunit, "basis" has
|
|
been aded and the process-finish struct is now in that subunit. So,
|
|
drscheme:language:process-finish? becomes
|
|
drscheme:basis:process-finish?, etc.
|
|
|
|
The process-finish structure no longer has a boolean indicating sucess.
|
|
Instead, an exception is raised.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the settings for the language have been re-aranged
|
|
- there are two new parameters, exported from the basis
|
|
subunit of drscheme:export^, current-setting and current-vocabulary
|
|
- current-vocabulary contains the vocabulary that zodiac uses to
|
|
perform macro expansion
|
|
- current-setting is bound to a setting struct, which encapsulates
|
|
all of the information about the language level
|
|
- the process-*/zodiac and process-*/no-zodiac proceudres
|
|
are no longer methods and their arguments have changed
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 51:
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
- fixed error message for "eq?" and "cons" at beginner level.
|
|
|
|
- check syntax does not work with an unitialized repl when:
|
|
the source contains define-macro. (won't be fixed in the release)
|
|
|
|
- eval no longer loops forever in mred vocabulary
|
|
|
|
- searching keybindings have changed. There are four distinct actions:
|
|
action1: move keyboard focus to the searching window, opening it if necessary,
|
|
or if already there search forward
|
|
action2: move keyboard focus to the searching window, opening it if necessary,
|
|
or if already there search backward.
|
|
action3: search again, in the same direction
|
|
action4: move the focus between the main window, searching window and replacment window
|
|
action5: hide the searching window
|
|
|
|
The actions are mapped to different keys, based on the platform.
|
|
|
|
On unix:
|
|
action1 => control-s, meta-%
|
|
action2 => control-r
|
|
action3 => f3
|
|
action4 => control-i
|
|
action5 => control-g
|
|
|
|
On the macintosh:
|
|
action1 => command-f
|
|
action2 => command-r
|
|
action3 => command-g
|
|
action4 => command-o
|
|
action5 => command-.
|
|
|
|
On windows:
|
|
action1 => control-f
|
|
action2 => control-r
|
|
action3 => f3, control-g
|
|
action4 => control-i
|
|
action5 => escape
|
|
|
|
- turned off the file name printouts on splash screen
|
|
|
|
evaluate:
|
|
(wx:write-resource "mred" "splashMessages" 1 (wx:find-path 'setup-file))
|
|
to turn them back on.
|
|
|
|
- fixed a bug that caused error messages to be displayed in message
|
|
boxes more often than neccessary. (as opposed to printing in the
|
|
repl)
|
|
|
|
- parenthesis matching is improved
|
|
|
|
- The empty list is now called "empty" instead of "null" with the
|
|
constructor style printer.
|
|
|
|
- The analyze button puts up a dialog saying "please wait, loading",
|
|
now.
|
|
|
|
- the fonts dialog now shows previews of the selected fonts. You
|
|
still need to restart to see the changes, unfortunately.
|
|
|
|
DrScheme Tools/Libraries
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
- tools must now import wx names explicitly, as a new first import.
|
|
|
|
- the parameters interface has changed. Instead getting and setting
|
|
the class, the tool programmer must register a function that
|
|
accepts a class and returns a class. See the manual for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
- process/zodiac-finish has been renamed to process-finish
|
