Hi all,
On the behalf of the Spyder Project Contributors
(https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/graphs/contributors), I’m pleased
to announce the sixth beta of our next major version: Spyder 3.0.
We’ve been working on this version for more than 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 version is released one week after our fifth one and it
includes almost 140 commits.
Spyder 3.0 comes with several interesting and exciting new features. The
most important ones are:
* Third-party plugins: External developers can now create plugins that
extend Spyder in novel and interesting ways. For example, we already
have plugins for the line-profiler and memory-profiler projects, and
also a graphical frontend for the conda package manager. These
plugins can be distributed as pip and/or conda packages for authors
convenience.
* Improved projects support: Projects have been revamped and improved
significantly in Spyder 3.0. With our new projects support, people
will have the possibility of easily working on different coding
efforts at the same time. That’s because projects save the state of
open files in the Editor and allow Python packages created as part
of the project in our consoles.
* 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.
