News:
New Release: LAST_VERSION_TAG
Major highlights:
- Added a new 'Pydev project' wizard (Mikko Ohtamaa contribution) -- it is named as Pydev Project instead of Python project
because it creates Python and Jython projects.
- Added a new 'Pydev module' wizard (Mikko Ohtamaa contribution) -- NOTE: it still needs some work.
- Changes in the shell spawning were done, and no hangs should appear when trying to do code-completion anymore
(if it still hapens, please report it as a bug -- NOTE: a little delay on the first time code-completion is executed
is expected, as this is the time the shell is started).
- Other bugfixes (as usual)
OctetString
Pydev received a grant from OctetString to
add Jython support to PyDev.
"OctetString, Inc uses PyDev in its management system to enable
customers to develop data integration (mapping) scripts as part of
its LDAP virtual directory server (a J2SE based application). As a
user of PyDev, OctetString is pleased to be able to contribute back
to the project and its success!" -Phil Hunt, Director of Engineering
