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 *4.0*.
We’ve been working on this version for more than 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 4 weeks after Spyder 4.0 beta5 and
it includes more than 275 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 Rename the following panes:
+ |Static code analysis| to |Code Analysis|
+ |File explorer| to |Files|
+ |Find in files| to |Find|
+ |History log| to |History|
+ |Project explorer| to |Project|
o Create a separate window when undocking all panes.
o Show current conda environment (if any) in the status bar.
*
Editor
o Code folding.
o Indentation guides.
o A class/method/function lookup panel. This can be shown in the
menu |Source > Show selector for classes and functions|.
o Autosave functionality to recover unsaved files after a crash.
o Optional integration with the Kite <https://kite.com/>
completion engine.
o Code completion and linting are provided by the Python Language
Server.
*
IPython Console
o Run files in an empty namespace.
o Create dedicated consoles for Pylab, Sympy and Cython.
o Run cells through a new function called |runcell|.
o Run cells by name.
*
Debugger
o |runfile| and |runcell| can be called when the debugger is active.
o Debug cells by pressing |Alt+Shift+Return|.
o Permanent history.
o Syntax highlighting.
*
Variable Explorer
o New viewer to inspect any Python object in a tree-like view.
o Filter variables by name or type.
o MultiIndex support in the Dataframe viewer.
o Support for all Pandas indexes.
o Support for sets.
o Support for Numpy object arrays.
*
Files
o Associate external applications to open specific file extensions.
o Context menu action to open files externally.
o Multi-select functionality with |Ctrl/Shift + mouse click|.
o Copy/paste files and their absolute or relative paths.
o Use special icons for different file types.
*
Outline
o Show cells grouped in sections.
o Add default name to all cells.
