News:
New Release: LAST_VERSION_TAG
Major highlights:
- Debugger was improved to be faster (more info about it at my blog)
- The debugger is now getting info correctly on java classes when debugging jython
- Add watch added to the editor popup menu
- Added syntax highlighting to the 'self' token
- Code folding added for 'glued' imports
- Fixed some outline problems
Others that are new and noteworthy:
- Debugger does not try to get breakpoints on closed projects anymore
- Some refreshing issues regarding the outline and colors when reusing the editor were fixed
- Code completion for relative imports has changed a lot (there were some pretty hard-to-find bugs in this area...)
- Some move imports problems fixed
- The auto-add '(self):' now works with tabs too
Special thanks to:
Vitor Oba, for patches in the debugger.
