Subject: [ANN] Spyder 4.0 is released!

Hi all,

On the behalf of the Spyder Project Contributors (https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/graphs/contributors), I'm pleased to announce that Spyder 3.0 has been released and is available for Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOS X: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases

Spyder is a free, open-source (MIT license) interactive development environment for the Python language with advanced editing, interactive testing, debugging and introspection features. It was designed to provide MATLAB-like features (integrated help, interactive console, variable explorer with GUI-based editors for NumPy arrays and Pandas dataframes), it is strongly oriented towards scientific computing and software development.

Alpha/beta/rc release

Subject: [ANN] Spyder 6.0 alpha1 is released!

Hi all,

On the behalf of the Spyder Project Contributors, I'm pleased to announce the first alpha of our next major version: Spyder 6.0.

We've been working on this version for more than one year now and it's working relatively well. There are still several bugs to squash but we encourage all people who like the bleeding edge to give it a try. This alpha version includes more than 960 commits over our latest stable version (5.4.3).

Spyder 6.0 comes with the following interesting new features and fixes:

  • New features

    • New installers for Windows, Linux and macOS based on Conda and Conda-forge.
    • Add a Debugger pane to explore the stack frame of the current debugging session.
    • Add a button to the Debugger pane to pause the current code execution and enter the debugger afterwards.
    • Add submenu to the Consoles menu to start a new console for a specific Conda or Pyenv environment.
    • Show Matplotlib backend state in status bar.
    • Make kernel restarts be much faster for the current interpreter.
    • Turn runfile, debugfile, runcell and related commands to IPython magics.

  • Important fixes

    • Restore ability to load Hdf5 and Dicom files through the Variable Explorer (this was working in Spyder 4 and before).

  • New API features

    • Generalize Run plugin to support generic inputs and executors. This allows plugins to declare what kind of inputs (i.e. file, cell or selection) they can execute and how they will display the result.
    • Add a new plugin for the files and symbols switcher.
    • Declare a proper API for the Projects plugin.

For a more complete list of changes, please see our changelog

You can easily install this alpha if you use conda by running:

conda install -c conda-forge/label/spyder_dev -c conda-forge/label/spyder_kernels_rc -c conda-forge spyder=6.0.0a1

Or you can use pip with this command:

pip install --pre -U spyder

Enjoy! Carlos
