Version 3.2 (2017-07-24)

New features

Python Console

  • Remove it for all operating systems. For an explanation, please see here.

Main Window

  • Add a dialog to quickly view all keyboard shortcuts defined in Spyder. It can be accessed in the Help > Shortcuts Summary menu or using the Meta+F1 shortcut.
  • Add an option to set a custom screen resolution scale factor. This option is available in Preferences > Appearance > Screen resolution.
  • Show Spyder internal errors in a special dialog to ease submitting them to Github.

Editor

  • Add the ability to reorganize tabs by drag and drop.
  • Add option to only replace in a selection.
  • Add Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down shortcuts to move to the next/previous cell, respectively.
  • Add Alt+Enter shortcut to re-run the last cell.
  • Add support to run Cython files from the Editor (i.e. by simply pressing F5).
  • Add syntax highlighting support for Markdown files.
  • Add a tab switcher dialog to navigate files in most recently used order. This dialog is activated with Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to go in forward or backward order, respectively.
  • Make Shift+Enter search text backwards in the find/replace widget.
  • Add Shift+Del shortcut to delete lines.
  • Add Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ shortcuts to indent/unindent text, respectively.
  • Add a Save copy as action.
  • Add a context menu entry to show the selected file in the operating system file explorer.
  • Apply smart indentation rules to Python files only. For non-Python files, the Editor will preserve the indentation level of the previous line.

IPython Console

  • Several improvements to its debugger:
    • Restore the ability to inspect variables using the Variable Explorer.
    • Make plotting work with a new %plot magic, but only using the inline backend (e.g. %plot plt.plot(range(10))).
    • Add history browsing with the Up and Down arrow keys.
    • Make the Clear console and Reset keyboard shortcuts to work.
    • Show plots from the Variable Explorer.
    • Change the current working directory using the Working Directory toolbar.
    • Use Ctrl+Shift+C to copy text.
  • Add the possibility to run a file in the same (dedicated) console all the time.
  • Allow to rename consoles by doing a double-click on their tabs and setting a new name.
  • Make drag and drop of its tabs to work.
  • Make the %cd magic to change the current working directory of the File Explorer and Working Directory toolbar.
  • Add menu entries to show environment variables and sys.path contents for each console.
  • Make it use the same color scheme of the Editor.
  • Automatically load the Cython extension if Cython is installed.

Find in Files

  • Add options to search on the current file, project or working directory.
  • Display results as search takes place.
  • Allow to order results alphabetically.
  • Add a spinner as indicator of a search in progress.
  • Simplify visualization of results.
  • Remove previous search results when a new search takes place.
  • Improve file and string encoding to bypass and correct errors associated with codification.
  • Inform users if search regexp patterns are incorrect.
  • Remove unused search options.
  • Omit binary files during a search.

File Explorer

  • Add an option to show the selected file in the operating system file explorer.
  • Show icons for different file types (pdf, image, video, audio, compressed and MS Office files).
  • Make it change the current working directory of the active console when changing directories on it.

Working Directory toolbar

  • Rename it to Current working directory (it was Global working directory).
  • Simplify its options to make them more understandable.
  • Make it show the working directory of the active IPython console and the current directory in the File Explorer.

Preferences

  • Prevent assignment of Shift+<single key> shortcuts because they can't be used by Qt applications unless they are hard-coded in the application itself.

Under the hood

  • Use pycodestyle package instead of pep8 to do style analysis.
  • Add pyopengl as a new dependency to our pip wheels on Linux to prevent crashes related to OpenGL in PyQt 5.7+.
  • Demand rope 0.10.5+ in our wheels because it supports Python 2 and 3 with the same codebase.

Version 3.0 (2016-09-24)

New features

Main Window

  • The Object Inspector pane was renamed to Help.
  • Add a new icon theme based on FontAwesome.
  • Add an Introduction interactive tutorial (under the Help menu).
  • Add new default layouts (Horizontal, Vertical, Matlab and Rstudio), and also the possibility to name custom layouts.
  • Panes that are tabbed next to each other can now be rearranged by dragging and dropping their tabs.
  • Check for Spyder updates at startup, and also if you go to the menu entry Help > Check for updates.
  • Add the shortcut Shift+Alt+R to restart the application.
  • Add an option to warn when exiting the application, under Preferences > General > Interface > Prompt when exiting.
  • Add Portuguese, Russian and Japanese translations.
  • Remove light mode

Editor

  • Add highlighting and code completion to all file types supported by Pygments (a syntax highlighting library)
  • Use Ctrl+M and Ctrl+Alt+M to visually create matrices and vectors. It also works on the Python and IPython consoles.
  • Add a new file switcher inspired by the Sublime Text one, which can be called with the Ctrl+P shortcut. It can also be used to look for classes, functions and methods inside a file, using the @my_function syntax.

Projects

  • A new menu entry called Projects was added to the main window with all actions related to projects.
  • A project now saves the state of open files in the Editor, so that people can easily work on different coding efforts at the same time.
  • The project's path is added to PYTHONPATH, so that Python packages developed as part of a project can be easily imported in Spyder consoles.
  • The project explorer now shows a file tree view of the current project, as other editors and IDEs do (e.g. Sublime Text and VSCode).
  • Projects are completely optional and not imposed on users, i.e. users can work without creating any project.

Settings

  • Keyboard shortcuts can now be entered in an easier and more intuitive way.
  • Add a menu entry to reset to default settings, under Tools > Reset Spyder to factory defaults.
  • The language used in the main interface can now be changed. The option to do it is present in General > Advanced Settings.
  • Syntax coloring now has a preview of the selected theme and it's able to change the current theme for all plugins.
  • Plain and Rich text fonts for all plugins are now changed in General > Appearance.
  • Add a new entry called Python interpreter to allow people to select the interpreter used for all Python and IPython consoles (this was before in Console > Advanced settings).
  • Rename the Console entry to Python console.

IPython console

  • Drop support for IPython 3.0 and older versions.
  • Support the new qtconsole package instead.
  • Communicate directly with IPython kernels instead of doing it through the Python console.

Debugging

  • Enter debugging mode if running a file generates errors. This is not activated by default but you can do it by going to Run > Configure > General settings.

Profiler

  • Add the ability to save and restore profiler data to compare speed improvements.

Working directory toolbar

  • Get directory completions by pressing the Tab key twice on it.

API Changes

Major changes
  • The spyderlib module was renamed to spyder
  • spyderplugins has been removed and its plugins have been assigned to different different modules (spyder_profiler, spyder_breakpoints, etc) still distributed with the Spyder package.
Minor changes
  • spyderlib.widgets.dicteditor.DictEditor has been renamed to spyder.widgets.variableexplorer.collectionseditor.CollectionsEditor.
  • spyderlib/widgets/dicteditorutils.py has been renamed to spyder/widgets/variableexplorer/utils.py.
  • spyderlib/widgets/externalshell/namespacebrowser.py has been moved to spyder/widgets/variableexplorer.
  • spyderlib/widgets/externalshell/syntaxhighlighters.py has been moved to spyder/utils/.
  • Variable Explorer editor widgets were moved from spyderlib.widgets to spyder.widgets.variableexplorer:
    • spyder.widgets.variableexplorer.arrayeditor
    • spyder.widgets.variableexplorer.collectionseditor
    • spyder.widgets.variableexplorer.objecteditor
    • spyder.widgets.variableexplorer.texteditor
    • spyder.widgets.variableexplorer.dataframeeditor
  • Modules used for configuration options (e.g. spyderlib.config, spyderlib.baseconfig, etc) were moved to a new namespace called spyder.config.
  • Modules and files related to the application have been moved to spyder.app.
  • spyderlib/plugins/projectexplorer.py has been renamed to spyder/plugins/projects.py
  • spyderlib/widgets/projectexplorer.py has been renamed to spyder/widgets/projects/explorer.py
  • spyderlib/plugins/inspector.py was renamed to spyder/plugins/help.py.
  • spyderlib/utils/inspector was renamed to spyder/utils/help.
  • spyderlib.qt was removed.
  • spyderlib/widgets/ipython.py was broken in several files inside spyder/widgets/ipythonconsole.
  • spyder/widgets/externalshell/{sitecustomize.py, osx_app_site.py} were moved to spyder/utils/site
  • spyder/widgets/externalshell/start_ipython_kernel.py was moved to spyder/utils/ipython

Under the hood

  • Drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.2.
  • Support PyQt5.
  • Drop official support for PySide. Support for it will have to come from the community.
  • Move our settings directory to HOME/.spyder{-py3}. Previous location was HOME/.spyder2{-py3}
  • On Linux we now follow the XDG specification to save our settings, i.e. they are saved in ~/.config/spyder{-py3} or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/spyder{-py3} if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined.
  • Use the new (pythonic) style for signals and slots.
  • Test Spyder with the help of Travis and AppVeyor.
  • Code completions and help retrieval on the Editor are done asynchronously using a client/server architecture based on PyZMQ.
  • Spyder now uses the qtpy package to be able to work with PyQt4 and PyQt5 seamlessly.
