Hi all,
On the behalf of the Spyder Project Contributors, I’m pleased to announce the fourth alpha of our next major version: Spyder 6.0.
We’ve been working on this version for more than one year now and it’s working relatively well. There are still several bugs to squash but we encourage all people who like the bleeding edge to give it a try. This alpha version includes more than 230 commits over our latest alpha release (6.0.0a3).
Spyder 6.0 comes with the following interesting new features and fixes:
New features
Consoles
menu to start a new console for a specific Conda or Pyenv
environment.runfile
,
debugfile
,
runcell
and related commands into IPython magics.Important fixes
~/.bashrc
or ~/.zhrc
are detected and passed to the IPython console.New API features
SpyderPluginV2.get_description
must be a static method now and SpyderPluginV2.get_icon
a class or static method. This is necessary to display the
list of available plugins in Preferences in a more
user-friendly way.For a more complete list of changes, please see our changelog.
You can easily install this alpha if you use conda by running:
conda install -c conda-forge/label/spyder_dev -c conda-forge/label/spyder_kernels_rc -c conda-forge spyder=6.0.0a4
Or you can use pip with this command:
pip install --pre -U spyder
Enjoy!
Carlos
