[Fabio Zadrozny]

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

PyDev is an open-source Python IDE on top of Eclipse for Python, Jython and
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://brainwy.github.io/liclipse for a PyDev standalone with all
requirements bundled).

* **Debugger**

    * It's now possible to **attach debugger to running process in Windows
and Linux** (open debug perspective > PyDev > Attach to Process)

* pep8 upgraded to 1.5.7
* Fixed issue in dialog shown when PyDev editor is opened which could lead
to closing the IDE.
* Selecting PyQT API version using sip.setapi no longer fails in debug mode
(PyDev-452).
* Code completion tries to get docstring definition from class before
evaluating property (PyDev-412).
* Internal error error when parsing file with wrong syntax:
java.lang.ClassCastException for invalid dict (PyDev-411).
* runfile was restored in pydevconsole (Ctrl+Alt+Enter is working again).
* **Variables** and **Expressions** views working again when debugging
interactive console (PyDev-446).
* Pressing Shift to debug with Ctrl+F9 test runner now properly works in
Linux (PyDev-444).
* Fixed interpreter configuration when the interpreter prints something
before actually running interpreterInfo.py (PyDev-448).
