A suggestion: rather than trying to maintain a separate IDLE news file ("don't
repeat yourself), it might be much easier to link to the IDLE section in each
releases's formatted CHANGELOG now included in Python 3 docsets. For example:
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/changelog.html#idle
or
https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/changelog.html#idle
Yes, users would have to scroll down to each release's IDLE section but I
suspect that wouldn't be a huge burden considering how infrequently change
files are consulted. To be even more useful, IDLE could first attempt to find
the changelog in the Python installer's bundled copy of the docset like the F1
key does. For example, with the macOS installer, the corresponding file URL is:
file:///Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/whatsnew/changelog.html#idle
