What's New in Wing 9.1

Import Management

Wing 9.1 adds the ability to auto-enter imports from the auto-completer, eliminating the need to move up and down in a file to add imports while writing new code. The new Imports tool makes it easy to find and remove imports that are unused anywhere in your code.

Code Coverage

Wing 9.1 added the ability to track and display code coverage for unit tests, so that you can see how well your tests are exercising your code. Coverage data is also used to determine which previously collected test results are invalidated by edits made to your code, so that tests affected by edits may be re-run sooner in the development process.

Faster Unit Testing

Wing 9.1 significantly speeds up running unit tests in projects with a large number of unit tests. This release also adds a Run Not-Yet-Run Tests option to the Testing menu, to make it easier to run only tests that have not yet been run, and improves storing unit tests results when tests print a large amount of output.

Other Improvements

Wing 9.1 also shows auto-invocation arguments for methods of super(), improves New Project support for Docker, Django, and other environments, fixes a number of issues affecting multi-threaded debugging, fixes several code analysis issues, improves reliability of remote development across network failures, improves keyboard navigation of Search in Files results, fixes some issues in auto-editing and auto-spacing, and makes a number of other improvements.

What's New in Wing 9

Support for Python 3.11

Wing 9 adds support for Python 3.11, the next major release of Python, so you can take advantage of Python 3.11's substantially improved performance and new features.

Debugger Optimizations

Wing 9 reduces debugger overhead by about 20-50% in Python 3.7+. The exact amount of performance improvement you will see depends on the nature of the code that is being debugged and the Python version that you are using.

Streamlined Light and Dark Theming

Wing 9 allows configuring a light and dark theme independently (on the first Preferences page) in order to make it easier to switch between light and dark modes. Two new light themes New Light and Faerie Storm have been added, and switching display modes should be faster and smoother visually.

Other Improvements

Wing 9 also shows auto-invocation arguments for methods of super(), fixes a number of issues affecting code analysis and multi-threaded debugging, and makes several other improvements.

What's New in Wing 8.3

Support for Containers and Clusters

Wing 8 adds support for developing, testing, and debugging Python code that runs inside containers, such as those provided by Docker and LXC/LXD, and clusters of containers managed by a container orchestration system like Docker Compose. A new Containers tool can be used to start, stop, and monitor container services, and new Docker container environments may be created during project creation.

For details, see Working with Containers and Clusters.

New Package Management Tool

Wing 8 adds a new Packages tool that provides the ability to install, remove, and update packages found in the Python environment used by your project. This supports pipenv, pip, and conda as the underlying package manager. Packages may be selected manually from PyPI or by package specifications found in a requirements.txt or Pipfile.

For details, see Package Manager .

Improved Project Creation

Wing 8 redesigns New Project support so that the host, project directory, Python environment, and project type may all be selected independently. New projects may use either an existing or newly created source directory, optionally cloning code from a revision control repository. An existing or newly created Python environment may be selected, using virtualenv, pipenv, conda, or Docker.

Improved Python Code Analysis and Warnings

Wing 8 expands the capabilities of Wing's static analysis engine, by improving its support for f-strings, named tuples, and other language constructs. Find Uses, Refactoring, and auto-completion now work within f-string expressions, Wing's built-in code warnings work with named tuples, the Source Assistant displays more detailed and complete value type information, and code warning indicators are updated more cleanly during edits.

Improved Remote Development

Wing 8 makes it easier to configure remote development and provides more flexibility in conforming to local security policies. The new built-in SSH implementation may be used instead of separately configuring OpenSSH or PuTTY. Remote development can now also work without access to an SSH agent: Wing will prompt for passwords, private key passphrases, and other input needed to establish an SSH connection.

And More

Wing 8 also adds support for Python 3.10, including match/case statements, native executable for Apple Silicon (M1) hardware, a new Nord style display theme, reduced application startup time, support for Unreal Engine, Delete Symbol and Rename Current Module refactoring operations, improved debug stepping and exception handling in async code, remote development without an SSH agent, expanded support for branching, stashing/shelving and other operations for Git and Mercurial, and much more.
