- debugger is active (15347); b) closing the debugger with the [X] button
- (15348); and c) activating the debugger when already active (24455).
- The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes.

+ instead of calling the encode() method of the string.

+
+- Issue 15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process)
+ before closing the debugger window (running in the IDLE process).
+ This prevents the RuntimeErrors that were being caught and ignored.
+
+- Issue #24455: Prevent IDLE from hanging when a) closing the shell while the
+ debugger is active (15347); b) closing the debugger with the [X] button
+ (15348); and c) activating the debugger when already active (24455).
+ The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes.
+ 1. Suspend and resume the gui.interaction method with the tcl vwait
+ mechanism intended for this purpose (instead of root.mainloop & .quit).
+ 2. In gui.run, allow any existing interaction to terminate first.
+
+- Change 'The program' to 'Your program' in an IDLE 'kill program?' message
+ to make it clearer that the program referred to is the currently running
+ user program, not IDLE itself.

+ Patch by Mark Roseman.
+
+- Issue #25313: Change the handling of new built-in text color themes to better
+ address the compatibility problem introduced by the addition of IDLE Dark.
+ Consistently use the revised idleConf.CurrentTheme everywhere in idlelib.
+
+- Issue #24782: Extension configuration is now a tab in the IDLE Preferences
+ dialog rather than a separate dialog. The former tabs are now a sorted
+ list. Patch by Mark Roseman.
+
+- Issue #22726: Re-activate the config dialog help button with some content
+ about the other buttons and the new IDLE Dark theme.
+
+- Issue #24820: IDLE now has an 'IDLE Dark' built-in text color theme.
+ It is more or less IDLE Classic inverted, with a cobalt blue background.
+ Strings, comments, keywords, ... are still green, red, orange, ... .
To use it with IDLEs released before November 2015, hit the
'Save as New Custom Theme' button and enter a new name,
such as 'Custom Dark'. The custom theme will work with any IDLE
