Hi all,
On the behalf of the Spyder Project Contributors
<https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/graphs/contributors>, I’m pleased
to announce the third beta of our next major version: Spyder *4.0*.
We’ve been working on this version for almost three 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 6 weeks after Spyder 4.0 beta2 and
it includes more than 600 commits.
Spyder 4.0 comes with several interesting and exciting new features. The
most important ones are:
*
Main Window
o Dark theme for the entire application.
o A new Plots pane to browse all inline figures generated by the
IPython console.
o Create a separate window when undocking all panes.
*
Editor
o Code folding.
o Indent guides.
o A class/method/function lookup “context panel”.
o Autosave functionality to recover unsaved files after a crash.
o Code completion and linting are provided by the Python Language
Server.
*
IPython Console
o Add menu options to start consoles in Pylab, Sympy and Cython modes.
o Cells are run through a new function called |runcell|.
*
Variable Explorer
o Add a new viewer to inspect any Python object in a tree-like view.
o Add MultiIndex display support to the Dataframe viewer.
o Add support for all Pandas indexes.
o Add support for sets.
*
Files
o Add the possibility to associate different external applications
to open specific file extensions.
o Add a context menu action called |Open externally| to all files
to open them with the default program associated with the file type.
o Add multi-select functionality (Ctrl/Shift+click).
o Add the ability to copy/paste files and their absolute or
relative paths.
o Use special icons for different file types.
o Add an option to open files and directories with a single click.
*
Outline
o Show cells grouped in sections.
o Add a default name to all cells.
