[New-bugs-announce] [issue33821] IDLE subsection of What's New 3.7

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

Following #33820, master issue for future IDLE entries in Doc/whatsnew/3.7.rst.  This doc has a section 'Improved Modules' with a subsection 'idlelib and IDLE'.  The initial unlabeled subsubsection includes important enhancements to IDLE since 3.6.0.  This issue starts with the last of these.

Because of IDLE's special backport policy, PEP 434, this initial part concludes with "The changes above have been backported to 3.6 maintenance releases."  Future subsubsections 'New in 3.7.z:', z >= 1, will follow for backport to 3.7.z.  It will close after the last 3.7 maintenance release.

This file also exists in the master (currently 3.8) branch.  Changes are applied to master and backported to 3.7.  Normally, entries will be the same as in What's New <Master>, but this will not exist in 3.6.  Hence each What's New file needs different backports.  Hence separate PRs are needed for auto backport to work.  It seems convenient to have separate issues for each.
