Hi all,

On the behalf of the Spyder Project Contributors, I’m pleased to announce that Spyder 4.0.1 has been released and is available for Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOS X: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases

This release comes almost one month after version 4.0.0 and it doesn’t add new features. However, it has important performance improvements and also fixes several regressions over Spyder 3 detected after releasing version 4.

In this release we fixed 32 issues and merged 43 pull requests that amount to more than 170 commits. For a full list of fixes, please see our Changelog.

Don’t forget to follow Spyder updates/news on the project’s website.

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!

Enjoy!
Carlos

Hi,

Please *do not* use pip to install packages in Anaconda. We warn against that time and time again.

If you have used pip to install other packages that can be installed by Anaconda, please remove and reinstall Anaconda again because that most surely broke your installation.


Cheers,
Carlos

I sit corrected.

However, following the suggestion in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41849718/how-to-update-spyder-on-anaconda I got the folowing:

comp@AbNormal:~/Apps/anaconda3/bin$ ./conda install spyder=4.0.1

Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

looking for, navigate to

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

So then:

https://anaconda.org/smolnar/dashboardspyder=4.0.1

Hi,
Spyder has the most powerful scientific calculation environment, so I always enjoy write neural networks script inside rather than other IDEs.

The new Spyder is more beautiful than ever before, especially the new dark theme. I like the 'one dark pro' theme in vscode editor.

Might it be possible to split the method and function parameter name' colors from normal text?

Thank you!

Do you plan on releasing this to the ubuntu package manager? I don't use anaconda.

Hi,

We are not in charge of that, so we can't do anything about it, sorry. But if you want to use Spyder 4 soon, you should download Anaconda, because it could take six months or a year to be available through Linux distros.


Cheers,
Carlos

You can always use pip on your Ubuntu box.

Right, that's true too. But please remember that pip is for expert
users, so we don't help newbies that decided to install Spyder with it.


Cheers,

wonderful, thanks for the answer. 

I should be able to use pip, but if not i guess it is time to start using anaconda!

Miniconda is a lighter option (Python, conda and some dependencies).

Kudos to the developers and contributors! 

Just upgraded from Spyder 3.3.3 to 4.0.1 (the version included with Anaconda), and I'm loving it!  Loving the Variable Explorer, the new options in the Outline, and the Completions and Introspection niceties.

Well done, team!

Hi Greg,

Thanks a lot for your kind words!! Spyder 4 was the final culmination of more than three years of development!


Cheers,
Carlos
