PyCharm 2018.2 Release Candidate
PyCharm 2018.2 is getting closer to its release date, and we’re happy to announce that a release candidate is available for download now.
New in PyCharm
- The dot in pytest is no more! If you’re looking for ‘Py.test’, it’s now known as ‘pytest’ anywhere in PyCharm.
- Fixtures for pytest-BDD are now supported. We’ve added a lot of pytest and pytest-BDD features in 2018.2. If you’d like to play around with BDD, make sure to get the Professional Edition of PyCharm
- In some cases SQL queries were falsely identified as f-strings, and f-strings in regexes were marked as errors. Both of these false positives have been fixed
- Code completion for Pandas DataFrames in the debug console was slow, and should now work as expected.
