I just upgraded to IPython 2.0.0 and the behavior of tab-complete seems to have changed. (Using pyreadline 2.0, which according to this question might matter).
Formerly, if I hit TAB after function_name(, IPython would show the docstring for that function.
Now, I just see a dropdown list of what I guess is everything in the namespace, including:
The old behavior was super helpful -- how can I restore it (short of reverting to an earlier IPython version)?

shift + tab + tab.
Apparently it's now Shift-Tab. Thanks @Thomas K.
