LiClipse 4.0 is now available for download!
This is the first release based on Eclipse Oxygen (built on 4.7 RC3). It's still not a final release, but very close to it, so, make sure you take a look at https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.7/platform.php for the latest news in the platform (the gem for me is now being able to hide the status bar -- personally, I'm now using Eclipse without the toolbar nor status bar -- really nice for a minimalist theme).
There was a critical fix for users on Mac OS which resulted in LiClipse not working properly after an update. Note that for Mac users which are using LiClipse 3.x, a fresh install is needed (follow the instructions from http://www.liclipse.com/download.html#updating_native).
The other major changes in this release are actually in PyDev, which featured a fix which prevented the code-coverage from working properly and now supports code coverage when testing with pytest. Also, IronPython is supported again in the debugger (it was previously broken because IronPython didn't support sys._current_frames (although an important note is that IronPython 2.7.6 and 2.7.7 don't work with PyDev because of a critical issue in IronPython, so, either keep to IronPython 2.7.5 or use the development version).
There were also fixes in the PyLint integration, updating docstrings, finding __init__ on code-completion when it's resolved to a superclass, etc... See: http://www.pydev.org for more details.
Enjoy!
