New in Version 1.4.x
Version 1.4.x comes with many new features. Refer to the release history for the implemented stories in version 1.4.x. Here is an overview of the new and changed features, so that you can find the new and updated documentation rapidly without browsing all pages.
- The new class hierarchy view is able to display subclass and superclass hierarchies.
- Jython projects can have referenced Jython projects. This feature comes with several benefits:
- You can create a Jython project for the Jython library, rather than specifying it as a library.
- You can control click to definitions across projects.
- You have content assist across projects.
- Jython packages are recognized. The browsing view displays all source folders of a project and all package folders in the source folders.
- Classes and definition can be opened via Open Class... and Open Definition... commands.
- Automatic indentation has been improved. A new line is indented less when inserted after pass and return statements.
- Backspace on a line with white space before the caret is interpreted as removing one indentation level, that is 4 spaces.

- Abstract classes and methods are recognized and they are displayed with a special icon.

- The Projects view in the Browsing perspective provides filtering based on working sets. It also provides a command to delete $py.class files.
- References to source folders in the properties of a Jython project are updated correctly after deleting and moving them and when renaming the project.
