News:
New Release: LAST_VERSION_TAG
Major highlights:
- Content assistants reviewed (and better documented on the homepage -- I really reccomend checking it)
- Timeout parsing options added (this is available in the builder preferences page)
- Auto-dedent added
Others that are new and noteworthy:
- .pyc is removed when the corresponding .py file is removed.
- Debugger has been changed so that it becomes faster (still not as fast as I would like, but still... faster)
- Some escaped quotes problems fixed when formatting code
- Navigation with Ctrl+Shift+ (up or down) has been slightly improved, so that it goes to the start or the end of the file when no other class or method declaration is found
- Other bug-fixes (as ususal)
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
