Earlier
changes are documented in the (obsolete) files idl.el and
idl-shell.el, available at idlwave.org.
+Revision 4.15
+=============
+ - Routine info for routines with multi-threading keywords is now
+ displayed correctly, and these keywords are linked in online
+ help.
+ - Fixed bug in Makefile causing trouble compiling when using older
+ versions of help.
+ - Filename completion in the shell works more cleanly without
+ corruption, and can now complete blank filenames in the local
+ directory (e.g. open,'[Tab]).
+ - Filename completion in the shell now works after "@" batch
+ commands.
+ - Better handling of obscure syntax errors.
+ - A special loadable module (`idlw-roprompt') allows Emacs 21 users
+ to make the "IDL>" prompt read-only.
+ - Bug fix: All tags are now found for tag completion on self, and
+ in other structures when the optional completion module
+ `complete-struct-tag' is used.
+ - Bug fix: alignment on the `=' of an assignment now permits a more
+ complicated LHS (e.g. a.(0)[1]=...).
+ - Fixed bug when using multi-word abbreviations like "\ei": an
+ erroneous begin-end block matching error was being issued.
+ - Fixed system variable tag completion bug when using
+ idlw-complete-structtag for easy structure completion.
+ - Breakpoints are now temporarily disabled when using "Continue to
+ Here" and "Continue to End of Block", ensuring this always works
+ correctly.
+ - Added custom variable for controlling how much of the background
+ communication between buffer and shell is displayed
+ (`idlwave-shell-show-commands'). You can even turn on
+ 'everything to get a peek behind the curtain.
+ - By default, object method and method keyword completions in the
+ shell now query the shell for the object class during the
+ completion. E.g. "a=obj_new("idl_container") & a->[Tab]" will
+ automatically learn that "a" is an IDL_CONTAINER object and offer
+ the correct procedure methods.
+ - You can now set a conditional breakpoint with a simple prefix arg
+ to the breakpoint command (i.e. [C-u C-c C-d C-b]), which will
+ prompt you for the IDL expression.
+ - Fixed bug when completing procedure methods on multi-statement
+ lines.
+ - When completing class structure tags (self.[Tab]), or regular
+ structure (via idlw-complete-structtag) you can now right click
+ on the tags in the completion buffer to pull up their definition
+ in the help window. Context help also works on class structure
+ tags.
+ - Class structure tags from superclasses are labelled with the
+ class in the *Completions* buffer.
+ - Bug fix for indenting continuation lines which contain "pro" or
+ "function" somewhere within their argument list.
+
Revision 4.14
