Spyder 2.3.2 is released!

Hi all,

On the behalf of Spyder's development team, I'm pleased to announce that Spyder 2.3.2 has been released and is available for Windows XP/Vista/7/8, GNU/Linux and MacOS X: https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/downloads

This release represents more than 2 months of development since 2.3.1 and introduces major enhancements and new features:

- Editor
  - Improve cells visualization
  - Add support for drag selection and improve look of line number area
  - Open on it any text file present in the Variable Explorer
  - View and edit IPython notebooks as Json files
  - Syntax highlighting for Json and Yaml files

- Variable Explorer:
  - Import csv files as Pandas DataFrames
  - Improve browsing speed for NumPy arrays and DataFrames with more than 1e5 elements

- IPython Console
  - Add a stop button to easily stop computations

We fixed almost 40 bugs, merged 13 pull requests from 8 authors and added about 150 commits between these two releases.

This is a very important bugfix release which solves a lot of unicode problems in our consoles, the variable explorer and the main interface, so everyone is encouraged to update.

Spyder 2.3 is released!

Hi all,

On the behalf of Spyder's development team, I'm pleased to announce that Spyder 2.3 has been released and is available for Windows XP/Vista/7/8, GNU/Linux and MacOS X here: https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/downloads

This release represents 14 months of development since version 2.2 and introduces major enhancements and new features:
 

  • Python 3 support (versions 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 are supported).
  • Drop Python 2.5 support.
  • Various Editor improvements:
    • Use the Tab key to do code completions
    • Highlight cells
    • First-class support for Enaml files
    • Improve how calltips are shown
    • Better looking Object Inspector
Spyder 2.2 has been a huge success (being downloaded more than 400,000 times!) and we hope 2.3 will be as successful as it. For that we fixed 70 important bugs, merged 30 pull requests from 11 authors and added almost 1000 commits between these two releases.

Enjoy,
- Carlos
