Hi all,

On the behalf of the Spyder Project Contributors, I’m pleased to announce that Spyder 5.3.1 has been released and is available for Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOS X: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases

This release comes seven weeks after version 5.3.0 and it contains the following new features, important fixes and new API features:

Add a toolbar to the Variable Explorer viewer for dictionaries, lists and sets to easily access the functionality available through its context menu.
Add navigation with extra buttons in the editor for mouses that support them.
Add --no-web-widgets command line option to disable plugins/widgets that use Qt Webengine widgets.
Fix several important bugs related to the Autoformat on save functionality.
Fix options related to the Working directory entry in Preferences.
Make code completion widget entries accessible to screen readers.
Add get_command_line_options to SpyderPluginV2 so that plugins can access the command line options passed to Spyder.
The current interpreter used by all Spyder plugins can be accessed now through the executable option of the Main interpreter plugin.

In this release we fixed 37 issues and merged 52 pull requests that amount to more than 230 commits. For a full list of fixes, please see our Changelog.

Last, but not least, we welcome any contribution that helps making Spyder an efficient scientific development and computing environment. Join us to help creating your favorite environment!
