   *Important* PyDev now requires Java 8 and Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) onwards.
   - PyDev 5.2.0 is the last release supporting Eclipse 4.5 (Mars).
   -

   *Interpreter configuration*
   - The *list of packages* installed in the interpreter is shown in the
      IDE (supports either *pip* or *conda*).
      - It's now possible to *install/uninstall* packages using either *pip*
       or *conda* directly from the IDE.
      - Provides a way to *load variables* if interpreter is from a *conda
      environment* (Load conda env vars before run configuration).
      - A default string substitution variable named *PY* is now created
      with the major and minor version of the created interpreter.
      - It's now possible to configure a project to always use a grammar
      compatible with the interpreter version (default for new projects --
      *#PyDev-846*).
   -

   *Editor*
   - *Subword* navigation is now available (and enabled by default -- can
      be customized at *PyDev > Editor*).
      - Changed default config for minimap (smaller and not showing
      elements -- can be customized at *PyDev > Editor > Overview Ruler
      Minimap*).
      - Code completion no longer active in comments in last line of editor
      (*#PyDev-762*).
   -

   *Debugger*
   - Fix find_module signature (patch by James Blackburn).

      Gomulka* -- *#PyDev-840*).
   -

   *isort integration*
   - The modules that are known to be third party or system modules in the
      PyDev configuration are passed to *isort*.
      - Proper support for *isort:skip* and *isort:skip_file*.
      - Internal isort caches properly being cleared between invocations
      (fix for case where changes to config were not reflected in isort).

      *#PyDev-816*).
      - Fix issue where user could do a drag n drop in system libs which
      could put an entry below another entry, which actually removed
it from the
      config (*#PyDev-821*).
