Elpy 1.9.0 released

I just released version 1.9.0 of Elpy, the Emacs Python Development Environment. This is a feature release.

Elpy is an Emacs package to bring powerful Python editing to Emacs. It combines a number of other packages, both written in Emacs Lisp as well as Python.

Quick Installation

Evaluate this:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("elpy" .
               "https://jorgenschaefer.github.io/packages/"))

Then run M-x package-install RET elpy RET.

Finally, run the following (and add them to your .emacs):

(package-initialize)
(elpy-enable)

Circe 2.0 released – Circe turns 10

We just released version 2.0 of Circe, the Client for IRC in Emacs.

Circe is a Client for IRC in Emacs. It tries to have sane defaults, and integrates well with the rest of the editor, using standard Emacs key bindings and indicating activity in channels in the status bar so it stays out of your way unless you want to use it.

This is an anniversary release – today 10 years ago, Circe has had its first commit! Since then, the code base expanded quite a bit and Circe has gained a lot of good features, contributed by over a dozen people over time. And the client now has a number of users.

It's a weird feeling when you realize that this piece of software you wrote because you were unhappy with the existing solutions not only has been with you for a decade, but has other people using and contributing to it.

Major thanks to all the awesome people I know through this software. On to the next 10 years!

Quick Installation

Evaluate this:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
  '("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)

Then run M-x package-install RET circe RET.

After this, M-x circe should work.
