----
-- Issue 15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process)

+ unused and outdated icons.
-- Issue #24455: Prevent IDLE from hanging when a) closing the shell while the

- 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.

- release, and can be modified.
+- Issue #25715: Python 3.5.1 installer shows wrong upgrade path and incorrect
