AI request contexts can now be stored, optionally so they are shared by all projects, and may be used independently with different AI features.</p> <p>AI requests can now also be stored in the current project or shared with all projects, and Wing comes preconfigured with a set of commonly used requests. In addition to changing code in the current editor, stored requests may create a new untitled file or run instead in AI Chat. Wing 11 also introduces options for changing code within an editor, including replacing code, commenting out code, or starting a diff/merge session to either accept or reject changes.</p> <p>Wing 11 also supports using AI to generate commit messages based on the changes being committed to a revision control system.</p> <p>You can now also configure multiple AI providers for easier access to different models.</p> <p>For details see <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">AI</span> <span class="pre">Assisted</span> <span class="pre">Development</span></tt> under <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Wing</span> <span class="pre">Manual</span></tt> in Wing 11's <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Help</span></tt> menu.</p> <h3>Package Management with uv</h3><p>Wing Pro 11 adds support for the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">uv</span></tt> package manager in the New Project dialog and the Packages tool.</p> <p>For details see <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Project</span> <span class="pre">Manager</span> <span class="pre">></span> <span class="pre">Creating</span> <span class="pre">Projects</span> <span class="pre">></span> <span class="pre">Creating</span> <span class="pre">Python</span> <span class="pre">Environments</span></tt> and <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Package</span> <span class="pre">Manager</span> <span class="pre">></span> <span class="pre">Package</span> <span class="pre">Management</span> <span class="pre">with</span> <span class="pre">uv</span></tt> under <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Wing</span> <span class="pre">Manual</span></tt> in Wing 11's <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">Help</span></tt> menu.</p> <h3>Improved Python Code Analysis</h3><p>Wing 11 improves code analysis of literals such as dicts and sets, parametrized type aliases, <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">typing.Self</span></tt>, type variables on the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">def</span></tt> or <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">class</span></tt> line that declares them, generic classes with <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">[...]</span></tt>, and <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">__all__</span></tt> in <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">*.pyi</span></tt> files.</p> <h3>Updated Localizations</h3><p>Wing 11 updates the German, French, and Russian localizations, and introduces a new experimental AI-generated Spanish localization.
