[ANN] Spyder 6.1.2 is released!

[Daniel Althviz Moré]

Hi all,

On behalf of the Spyder Project Contributors, I'm pleased to announce that Spyder 6.1.2 has been released and is available for Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOS X: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases

This release comes three weeks after version 6.1.1 and it comes with the following interesting new features, fixes and API changes:

• New features

  • Set a maximum number of plots in the Plots pane to prevent a memory leak when generating many of them.
  • Simplify UX to create directories and files from the files/project explorer.
  • Add support for Pylint 4.

• Important fixes

  • Fix update process for installer based installations that require admin permissions on Windows.
  • Fix Profiler error when the IPython console kernel takes time to start.
  • General fixes to the API module (spyder.api) docstrings and typings.

• API changes

  • Fix API version not being correctly bumped to 2.0.0 for Spyder 6.1, and formally expose and document VERSION_INFO tuple.
  • The spyder.api.editor module, containing legacy aliases of EditorExtension and Panel that can be accessed directly from the Editor plugin in Spyder 6.0+, is now documented as pending deprecation, will issue a DeprecationWarning in Spyder 6.2 and be removed in Spyder 7.0. Import them from spyder.plugins.editor.api instead.
  • The spyder.api.plugins.enum and spyder.api.plugins.new_api modules are now documented to be pending being marked as private, with a DeprecationWarning on importing the old names in Spyder 6.2, and their removal in Spyder 7.0. All of their public APIs are availible from and are been canonically imported from spyder.api.plugins since Spyder 5.1.
