Spyder v2.2.0 Release Notes

  • 🆕 New features

    • 👍 Better integration with IPython.
      • A dedicated preferences page from which you can set its most important options
      • An easy way to manage IPython kernels inside Spyder (i.e. interrupts and restarts).
      • Each console can be configured separately (which is not possible in IPython-qtconsole)
      • Each console is now connected to the Object Inspector and the History log.
      • Learn how to use IPython reading its documentation on the Object Inspector.
      • Find text in the console and pager using our Find Widget.
    • 🍎 A new MacOS X Application
      • We now provide a DMG for simple drag and drop installation.
      • The App comes with its own interpreter, which has the main Python scientific libraries preinstalled: Numpy, SciPy, Matplotlib, IPython, Pandas, Sympy, Scikit-learn and Scikit-image.
    • A much improved debugging experience
      • A new debugger toolbar, quite similar in spirit to the one present in Matlab. It works with both Python and IPython consoles.
      • A new breakpoints widget, which lists all active breakpoints set in open or closed files.
      • Breakpoints are updated in the Python and IPython consoles after being added or removed from the Editor.
    • Several Editor improvements
      • Faster and more accurate code completions for the most important scientific packages
      • Zoom in and out with Ctrl + the mouse wheel
      • A new dark theme
      • Automatic insertion of colons
      • Automatic insertion of quotes
      • New syntax highlighters for Matlab, batch, ini, NSIS and IDL files.
    • 👍 A better looking and faster Object Inspector
      • Several improvements to its style.
      • It can now show mathematical equations written in Latex, using the MathJax Sphinx plugin.
      • Rich text docs are now rendered in a thread to avoid UI lookup.
    • Single instance mode
      • Users can now open Python scripts from their file explorer on the currently available instance.
      • Linux users can also open their files from the terminal.
    • 🌐 Spanish translation of the interface
