Hi all,

On the behalf of Spyder's development team (http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/people/list), I'm pleased to announce that Spyder 2.3.1 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 2 months of development since 2.3.0 and introduces major enhancements and new features:

  * Support for Pandas DataFrame's and TimeSerie's types, and Numpy 3D arrays in the Variable Explorer
  * Connect to external IPython kernels through ssh
  *
Add a tutorial for beginners to the Object Inspector
  * Improve our looking style on Mac
  * And several other changes: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/ChangeLog

We fixed 15 important bugs, merged 13 pull requests from 8 authors and added more than 300 commits between these two releases.

Spyder is a free, open-source (MIT license) interactive development environment for the Python language with advanced editing, interactive testing, debugging and introspection features. Originally designed to provide MATLAB-like features (integrated help, interactive console, variable explorer with GUI-based editors for dictionaries, NumPy arrays, ...), it is strongly oriented towards scientific computing and software development. Thanks to the `spyderlib` library, Spyder also provides powerful ready-to-use widgets: embedded Python console (example: http://packages.python.org/guiqwt/_images/sift3.png), NumPy array editor (example: http://packages.python.org/guiqwt/_images/sift2.png), dictionary editor, source code editor, etc.

Description of key features with tasty screenshots can be found at:
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/Features

Don't forget to follow Spyder updates/news:
  * on the project website: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/
  * and on our official blog: http://spyder-ide.blogspot.com/

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

Enjoy!

Thank you Carlos !

8 contributors is nice. Out of curiosity, do you feel that there are more contributors after the switch to bitbucket ?

Hi Joseph,

Yep, there are several more contributors since our move to Bitbucket (before we were Pierre, Jed and me). It's been really nice :-)

Cheers,
Carlos

Fantastic! The new version works like a charm, I'm especially glad that the nasty matplotlib bug is squashed, just in time before the new students lay their hands on spyder for the very first time. The tutorial is also very helpful for first time users  - thanx a lot to all of you for the hard work.

Best regards,

Christian

Mac (aqua) tabs are twice the height they should be.  Crashes easily, not even doing anything--just scanning the menus.

Hi Mark,
Regarding these issues, could you please provide more details about your setup, how you installed Spyder which version, if there is any error message in Spyder's internal console or in the terminal if you ran spyder from there.
It would also help to know if your home directory is in a network drive and if you could provide a screenshot of the appearance of the tabs.
Best
Sylvain

Thanks, Carlos.  By any chance does this release for OS X enable Python 3 in iPython.  I believe I saw you mention that you planned to incorporate that in 3.2.1.

Thanks
