PyDev 8.0 Released

[Fabio Zadrozny]

 PyDev 8.0 Release Highlights

   -

   *MyPy*
   - Make sure that only one MyPy is running at a given time (to prevent
      cache corruptions).
      - Properly report MyPy messages that only have a line number. (
      *#PyDev-1091*)
      - MyPy integration now also shows notes for a message. (*#PyDev-1088*)
   -

   *Debugger* (updated to pydevd 2.0.0)
   - The frame evaluation mode (which adds programmatic breakpoints by
      rewriting bytecode) was redone (it had a critical issue which
could make it
      skip breakpoints).
      - Fixed issue collecting try..except information.
      - Fixed issue evaluating numpy array with unexpected dimension.
   -

   *Type Inference*
   - Option to create a method at a given class properly considers
      type-hinting. (*#PyDev-1092*)
      - Support code-completion for Optional[]. (*#PyDev-1089*)
      - Properly handle type information when given as a string. (
      *#PyDev-1082*, *#PyDev-1087*)
      - Fixed issue where line/col was not forwarded properly in go to
      definition. (*#PyDev-1075*)
      - Typing info should have priority when available. (*#PyDev-1079*)
      - Properly get completions considering function annotation. (
      *#PyDev-1078*)
   -

   *Test running*
   - Fixed issue running tests which override *address* with nose. (
      *#PYDev-1095*)
      - Fixed issue where test import/export didn't deal well with binary
      chars that were collected from the test. (*#PyDev-1067*)
   -

   *Others*
   - When finding a file in a project on Windows consider paths as case
      insensitive.
      - .mypy_cache and .pytest_cache contents are now marked as derived
      (so they can be filtered out in searches).
      - Fixed case where auto-import could be added to wrong location. (
      *#PyDev-1085*)
      - Occurrence was not found in type hint return. (*#PyDev-1076*)
      - Find references not working for constant depending how it's used. (
      *#PyDev-1083*)
      - Backported fix to properly parse raw f-string in Python 3.6. (
      *#PyDev-991*)
      - Code completion inside f-strings. (*#PyDev-1081*)
