======================================
bpo-35213: Where appropriate, use 'macOS' in idlelib.
bpo-34864: Document two IDLE on MacOS issues. The System Preferences Dock "prefer tabs always" setting disables some IDLE features. Menus are a bit different than as described for Windows and Linux.
bpo-35202: Remove unused imports in idlelib.
bpo-33000: Document that IDLE's shell has no line limit. A program that runs indefinitely can overfill memory.
bpo-23220: Explain how IDLE's Shell displays output. Add new subsection "User output in Shell".
bpo-35099: Improve the doc about IDLE running user code. "IDLE -- console differences" is renamed "Running user code". It mostly covers the implications of using custom sys.stdxxx objects.
bpo-35097: Add IDLE doc subsection explaining editor windows. Topics include opening, title and status bars, .py* extension, and running.
Issue 35093: Document the IDLE document viewer in the IDLE doc. Add a paragraph in "Help and preferences", "Help sources" subsection.
bpo-1529353: Explain Shell text squeezing in the IDLE doc.
bpo-35088: Update idlelib.help.copy_string docstring. We now use git and backporting instead of hg and forward merging.
bpo-35087: Update idlelib help files for the current doc build. The main change is the elimination of chapter-section numbers.
bpo-1529353: Output over N lines (50 by default) is squeezed down to a button. N can be changed in the PyShell section of the General page of the Settings dialog. Fewer, but possibly extra long, lines can be squeezed by Expand Down
