What is PyDev?
---------------------------

IronPython development.

It comes with goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax
analysis, code analysis, refactor, debug, interactive console, etc.

What is LiClipse?
---------------------------

LiClipse is a PyDev standalone with goodies such as support for Multiple
cursors, theming and a number of other languages such as Django Templates,
Kivy Language, Mako Templates, Html, Javascript, etc.

It's also a commercial counterpart which helps supporting the development
of PyDev.

Release Highlights:
-------------------------------

* **Important**: PyDev requires Eclipse 3.8 or 4.3 onwards and Java 7! For
older versions, keep using PyDev 2.x (use LiClipse: http://www.liclipse.com
for a PyDev standalone with all requirements bundled).

* **PyVmMonitor Integration**

* PyVmMonitor: http://www.pyvmmonitor.com/ is now in public beta, so, the
PyDev integration
(Window > Show View > Other > PyDev > Profile) may be used to  profile your
programs.

* **Debugger**

* The debug view now has an interactive console (with history) attached to
it by default (which may be toggled on/off). (PyDev-507)
* Debugger no longer reopens a file when that file is already opened.
(PyDev-456)
* Handled issue when getting referrers for some object gave an error if it
was found in a dict where the key is not a string.
* When interactive console starts in debug session, a banner is no longer
shown.
* Stepping with #@DontTrace no longer returns through decorator call-site.
(PyDev-526)
* The default for tracing template render exceptions on Django is now false.

* **Interactive Console**

* F2 to send contents from editor to console now considers backslash
continuations. (PyDev-502)
* Interactive Console interrupt now properly interrupts a sleep call (when
possible). (PyDev-500)
* PyDev interactive console now has a user-specified encoding (by default
UTF-8). (PyDev-454)
* Scroll the console on stdout / stderr output. (PyDev-504, patch by James
Blackburn)
* Moved interactive console initial commands to a separate preferences page.
* Handling interrupted system call EINTR in the pydevconsole.py. (PyDev-534)
* Fixed racing condition where the output of the console could appear as a
user input. (PyDev-490, patch by James Blackburn)

* **Refactoring**

* Fixed issue where indentation lost on rename module refactoring.
(PyDev-498)
* The rename modules refactoring wizard now provides a way to do a simple
resource rename (to rename extensions).

* **Others**

* Converting filename from .pyx to .py doesn't loose indexing on the file
anymore. (PyDev-525)
* The Cython parser now properly scopes methods.
* Pasting contents directly in the PyDev package explorer to create a file
uses the proper delimiter.
* Fixed deadlock in ImageCache when rendering debug completions from
console. (PyDev-527)
* Fixed deadlock on racing condition when rendering PyTextHover. (PyDev-523)
* Tab settings were separated from the editor color settings and may now be
persisted in the project/user settings.
* Fixed surround with try..finally/except indentation on Ctrl+1 when some
line has a comment which has a different indentation.
