Hi all,
On the behalf of Spyder’s development team
(https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/graphs/contributors),
I’m pleased to announce the third beta of our next major version: Spyder
3.0.
We’ve been working on this version for almost two years now and as far
as we know
it’s working very well. There are still several bugs to squash but we
encourage all
people who like the bleeding edge to give it a try. This beta is released
six months after our second one and it includes almost 600 commits!
Spyder 3.0 comes with several interesting and exciting new features. The
most
important ones are:
* Support for much more programming languages: Spyder relies now on
the excellent Pygments
library to provide syntax highlight and suggest code completions in
the Editor, for all
programming languages supported by it.
* A new file switcher: Spyder 3.0 will come with a fancy file
switcher, very similar in
spirit to the one present in Sublime Text. This is a dialog to
select among the open
files in the Editor, by doing a fuzzy search through their names. It
also lets users to
view the list of classes, methods and functions defined in the
current file, and select
one of them. This dialog is activated with |Ctrl+P|.
* A Numpy array graphical builder: Users who need to create NumPy
arrays in Spyder for
matrices and vectors can do it now in a graphical way by pressing
|Ctrl+M| in the Editor
or the Consoles. This will open an empty 2D table widget to be
filled with the data
required by the user.
* A new icon theme based on FontAwesome.
* A new set of default pane layouts for those coming from Rstudio or
Matlab (under
|View > Window layouts|).
* A simpler and more intuitive way to introduce keyboard shortcuts.
* Support for PyQt5, which fixes problems in MacOS X and in high
definition screens.
