provide powerful AI assisted development, including AI code suggestion, AI driven code refactoring, description-driven development, and AI chat. You can ask Wing to implement missing code at the current input position, use AI to refactor, enhance, or extend existing code by describing the changes that you want to make, or chat about code in order to understand, redesign, or extend it. Example requests include: "add a docstring to this method", "create unit tests for class A", "convert this into a Python generator", and "rewrite this threaded code to instead run asynchronously". Your role changes from writing code manually to directing an intelligent assistant capable of completing a wide range of programming tasks.</blockquote> </p> </div> </div> <br clear="all"/> <div class="key-points-right"> <img class="modal-img hover-link" src="/images/key-python.png" onclick="modal_show_image(this, 579)"> <div class="key-point"> <h2>Python 3.11 and 3.12</h2> <p> <blockquote> Wing 10 adds support for Python 3.12, including (1) faster debugging with PEP 669 low impact monitoring API, (2) PEP 695 parameterized classes, functions and methods, (3) PEP 695 type statements, and (4) PEP 701 style f-strings. Wing 9 added support for Python 3.11.</blockquote> </p> </div> </div> <br clear="all"/> <div class="key-points-left"> <img class="modal-img hover-link" src="/images/key-poetry.png" onclick="modal_show_image(this, 579)"> <div class="key-point"> <h2>Poetry Package Management</h2> <p> <blockquote> Wing 10 adds support for Poetry package management in the New Project dialog and the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Packages</span></tt> tool in the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Tools</span></tt> menu.

Ruff can also be used as a code reformatter in the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Source</span> <span class="pre">></span> <span class="pre">Reformatting</span></tt> menu group.

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.</blockquote> </p> </div> </div> <br clear="all"/> <div class="key-points-left"> <img class="modal-img hover-link" src="/images/new-debug-opt.png" onclick="modal_show_image(this, 579)"> <div class="key-point"> <h2>Faster Debugging and Unit Testing</h2> <p> <blockquote> Wing 9.1 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. Wing 9.1 also substantially speeds up running unit tests in projects with large numbers of unit tests and when tests produce a large amount of output.</blockquote> </p> </div> </div> <br clear="all"/> <div class="key-points-right"> <img class="modal-img hover-link" src="/images/new-themes.png" onclick="modal_show_image(this, 579)"> <div class="key-point"> <h2>Streamlined Light and Dark Theming</h2> <p> <blockquote> Wing 9.1 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.</blockquote> </p> </div> </div> <br clear="all"/> <div> <br /><br /> <h2>Other Recent Improvements</h2> <p> <div class="bullet-list"><ul><li><span class="bullet"> Quick toggle between stack frames for innermost project and test files</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Support for running the IDE on arm64 Linux</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Show auto-invocation arguments for methods of super()</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Add Run Not-Yet-Run Tests option to the Testing menu</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Improve New Project support for Docker, Django, and other environments</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Fix a number of issues affecting multi-threaded debugging</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Fix several code analysis issues</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Improve reliability of remote development across network failures</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Improve keyboard navigation of Search in Files results</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Fix some issues in auto-editing and auto-spacing</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Improved Diff/Merge tool</span></li> <li><span class="bullet"> Improved auto-imports UI</span></li> </ul></div><br><p>Not all of these features are available in Wing Personal and Wing 101.
