PyDev 5.7.0 Released

[Fabio Zadrozny]

PyDev 5.7.0 Release Highlights
-------------------------------

* **Important** PyDev now requires Java 8 and Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) onwards.

    * PyDev 5.2.0 is the last release supporting Eclipse 4.5 (Mars).

* **PyLint**

* The PyLint integration is much improved.
* Working along with the PyDev code-analysis.
* If there's an equivalent code analysis error in PyLint and PyDev, the
PyLint one is hidden.
* **Ctrl+1** on PyLint error line shows option to silent error in that line.
* See: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_pylint.html for details.

* **Debugger**

* Fixed issue when sorting which could lead to error comparing a value with
None.
* Fixed issue which prevented debugger from working with Jython due to the
lack of sys._current_frames.
* Testing Jython on CI.

* **Code Completion**

* Properly unpacking assigns from a parameter to an instance with type
documented in docstring. **#PyDev-778**

* **Others**

* When assigning parameters to attributes (**Ctrl+1** on function **def**),
skip adding duplicate assignments.
* When adding parameters to docstrings  (**Ctrl+1** on function **def**),
it will now properly update an existing docstring, not only create one from
scratch.
* In Windows, when searching executables, priority is given to a python
executable found in the PATH (as in Mac/Linux).
* Fixed issue were space was wrongly removed in code formatter.
**#PyDev-784**
