What is PyDev?
---------------------------

PyDev is a plugin that enables users to use Eclipse for Python, Jython and
IronPython development -- making Eclipse a first class Python IDE -- It
comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting,
syntax analysis, code analysis, refactor, debug, etc.


Release Highlights:
-------------------------------


* **Important**: PyDev requires Eclipse 3.8 or 4.3 onwards and Java 7! For
older versions, keep using PyDev 2.x (see LiClipse:
http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse for a PyDev standalone with all
requirements bundled).


* **Code Completion**:

    - Compiled modules are now indexed and shown in the context-insensitive
code-completion.

    - In an empty file, a code-completion request will show options related
to creating modules (press Ctrl+Space twice to show only those templates).


* **Performance**:

    - Building (indexing) of Python files is **much** faster.

    - Code completion does not get slown down by other analysis done in the
background due to shell synchronization.


* **Interactive Console**:

    - The interactive console now has tab-completion (so, tab can be used
to show completions such as in IPython).


* **Debugger**:

    - **Locals are now properly changed in the debugger** -- along with set
next statement and auto-reloading this can make a debug session much more
enjoyable!

    - Added a way to skip functions on a step-in on functions with
**#@DontTrace** comments:

        - **Makes it possible to skip a lot of boilerplate code on a debug
session!**
        - Can be enabled/disabled in the debugger preferences;
        - Ctrl+1 in a line with a method shows option to add
**#@DontTrace** comment (if enabled in the preferences).

    - Debugging Stackless is much improved, especially for versions of
Stackless released from 2014 onwards (special thanks to Anselm Kruis who
improved stackless itself for this integration to work properly).

    - Reload during a debug session is improved and more stable:

        - Only updates what it can in-place or adds new attributes;

        - Shows what's being patched in the console output;

        - New hooks are provided for clients which may want to extend the
reload;

        - See: Auto Reload in Debugger:
http://pydev.org/manual_adv_debugger_auto_reload.html for more details.



* **General**:

    - Compiled modules are now indexed, so, **fix import with Ctrl+1 now
works with itertools, PyQt and other 'forced builtins'**.

    - When diffing a Python file, the PyDev comparison (with proper syntax
highlighting) is now the default.

    - When finding a definition in a .pyd file, if there's a related .pyx
in the same location, it's opened.

    - Running unit-tests will not try to import files that are in folders
that don't have an __init__.py file.

    - Alt+Shift+O can be used to toggle mark occurrences.

    - Ctrl+3 not bound by default anymore on PyDev so that it does not
conflict with the Eclipse Ctrl+3 (Ctrl+/ can be used instead).

    - Fixed recursion issue when finding file in pydev package explorer.

    - When configuring the interpreter, links are not followed when
resolving entries for the PYTHONPATH.

    - It's possible to launch a directory containing a __main__.py file
executable.

    - Fixed issues when creating django project without any existing
project in the workspace.

    - Fixed deadlock on code-completion.

    - __pycache__ folders are hidden by default.


* **Organize imports**:

    - When saving a file, if automatically organizing imports, don't remove
unused imports even if that option is checked.

    - When saving a file, if automatically organizing imports, and nothing
changes, don't change the buffer (so, no undo command is created).

    - @NoMove can be used in an import so that the import organizer doesn't
mess with it.



* **Refactoring**:

    - Fixed error when moving resource in PYTHONPATH to a dir out of the
PYTHONPATH.

    - On a search make sure we search only python files, not dlls (which
could give OutOfMemory errors and make the search considerably slower).

    - Multiple fixes on the rename module refactoring.



Cheers,
