New in This Version

Gitignore File Generation

Have you ever accidentally checked in files in the .idea folder which should have stayed private? PyCharm now helps you by creating a .gitignore file for you, both when you create a git repository from the VCS menu, or when you open a project that has a git repository, but no ignore file yet.

Docker-Compose Command Customization

Do you have specific needs for your Docker Compose configuration? You can now specify custom parameters in run configuration that are configured with a Docker Compose interpreter.

Further Improvements

• AT TIME ZONE is now correctly highlighted for Microsoft SQL Server. PyCharm Professional Edition bundles all SQL features from JetBrains DataGrip
• SCSS and LESS now get their own code style settings. PyCharm Professional Edition has all the web language features from JetBrains WebStorm
• And more, see the release notes here

PyCharm 2018.3 is in development during the EAP phase, therefore not all new features are already available. More features will be added in the coming weeks. As PyCharm 2018.3 is pre-release software, it is not as stable as the release versions. Furthermore, we may decide to change and/or drop certain features as the EAP progresses.

All EAP versions will ship with a built-in EAP license, which means that these versions are free to use for 30 days after the day that they are built. As EAPs are released weekly, you’ll be able to use PyCharm Professional Edition EAP for free for the duration of the EAP program, as long as you upgrade at least once every 30 days.

We’re excited to bring you the fifth release in the Early Access Program (EAP) for PyCharm 2018.3, this version comes with some great improvements. You can get it right now from our website.

New in This Version

F-String Improvements

One of the most used new features of Python 3.6 (and 3.7 of course) are F-strings, which allow you to easily interpolate variables in strings. We initially supported F-strings immediately when Python 3.6 was released, but this release comes with a great improvement. Due to the way that F-strings were interpreted, sometimes PyCharm wasn’t as fast when editing F-string as when editing other Python code. The new support for F-strings is a lot faster, try it yourself now!

Apart from the performance boost, a lot of issues were resolved. For example, multi-line f-strings should now work properly. Many refactoring operations (like extract variable) also work correctly with F-strings now.

Further Improvements

• There was an issue where after upgrading PyCharm a project configured with Docker Compose may have issues starting. This was caused by an old version of the PyCharm helpers still being present in the Docker configuration, this has been resolved in this version.
• Sometimes, you get bad JSON files, which is sad. Even sadder is when PyCharm freezes when you try to open it to fix it. We can’t prevent bad JSON from happening, but the freezing problem is fixed in this version.
• PyCharm has sorted import statements in a case-sensitive way, from this version onward you can change this to be case-insensitive. If you prefer this, you can enable this behavior in the code style options.
• And more, read the release notes here

New in This Version

Updated Plugins Repository

PyCharm 2018.3 Professional Edition will launch with support for our new and improved plugins repository: JetBrains Marketplace. We’re working hard on making it easier to extend PyCharm’s functionality with additional third-party plugins. For example, there are plugins available for Kubernetes, and HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), and much more.

Further Improvements

• The IDE is now able to move parts of CSS rule sets around with new refactoring tools, both within the same file, and to different files. HTML and CSS editing are available in PyCharm Professional Edition.
• An issue where the quick documentation popup would flicker has been resolved.
• And more, read the release notes for details.

• A couple of git authentication issues have been smoothed out: previously, the IDE would not ask for a new password after the server’s password had been changed, this is now resolved. The same applied for incorrect saved key passphrases
• In some cases, PyCharm would freeze when using the ‘Local History’ feature.
• Various DB server specific SQL syntax is now supported: USING NEW INTO for PostgreSQL, and using floats without a leading zero when using SAMPLE in Oracle.
• And more, check out the release notes here

Better Completion for SQL Aggregation Functions

Most Python applications will connect to a database at some point. In PyCharm Professional Edition you get schema-aware SQL completion — it doesn’t just complete SQL, but it also helps you navigate your database. In PyCharm 2018.3 we’ve made a small improvement: when calling an aggregation function that takes a number, the number columns are the first columns suggested by the IDE.

Take Files Directly from Another Branch

Although in an ideal world all commits are perfectly atomic, the real world is a little messier. Sometimes you made improvements to a certain file in a feature branch, and you’d then like to take that file (but only that file) from that branch while working in another branch. By choosing ‘compare with…’ that other branch in the branches popup (VCS | Git | Branches), selecting the file on the files tab, and choosing ‘Get from Branch’ you can now fix this situation with PyCharm.

Further Improvements

• Various small improvements have been made to our support for pipenv. For example, if you install a package using the PyCharm interface while you have the Pipfile open in the editor, you’ll now see the Pipfile be updated when the installation completes.
