Wing Python IDE 12.1 Beta - October 9, 2026

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Wing 12.1 is now available as a beta release. It introduces the Tasks Manager for guided autonomous development. You write the specification, answer questions, and review results. Agents design and write the code, unit tests, and documentation. Wing keeps you in control, so you can decide what to delegate, how to review the results, and when to ship.

The Tasks Manager accepts anything from a bug report to a high-level specification for a new software product. It breaks down larger tasks, maps out an implementation strategy, decides what tasks can safely run at the same time, dispatches the work to AI worker agents, collects questions that need your attention, tracks problems the agents find along the way, and lines up the results for your review.

You remain in control at whatever level you're comfortable with: inspect every change in the code, read a high-level task summary and react to choices made by the agents, or simply try the result and give instructions for further development.

Wing Pro 12.1 also introduces support for other AI coding agents, now including Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Copilot, Cursor, goose, and OpenCode, plus any other agent that speaks the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).

The Tasks Manager and AI agent support are features of Wing Pro only. Other improvements in Wing 12.1, such as the new Modern look and display themes, are also in Wing Classic and Wing 101, as described below.

IMPORTANT Be sure to Check for Updates from Wing's Help menu after installing so that you have the latest hot fixes.

This is a beta release. Please try it and email us if you find problems or have suggestions!

Wing 12.1.0 -- Full featured Python IDE with two licensing tiers

Wing 101 12.1.0 -- Free IDE for teaching beginners to program

Wing 12.1 will replace Wing 12.0 when it is installed. You can revert to Wing 12.0 by reinstalling it at any time.

To get started quickly with autonomous development in Wing 12.1, see Getting Started with Autonomous Development.

New in Wing 12.1

Autonomous Development with the Tasks Manager

The new Tasks Manager is an agent that runs the Tasks tool's queues for you, so that development proceeds autonomously under your direction. You write tasks, mark the ones you want started as Ready, and review what comes back.

The Manager can break down high-level specifications into a design and development plan. It decides task order, serializes those that are likely to edit the same files, and runs closely related tasks in shared session context. It can message a running agent to tell it about related work or new insights, or redirect it if it goes astray.

While the Manager is on, tasks run autonomously: Rather than stopping to ask questions or present intermediate results, each works as far as it can and ends with a report of the judgement calls it made along the way, and any questions it has left. A new Questions tab in the Tasks tool collects everything that is waiting for you, so you can provide answers in one place. Follow-up work and problems that agents notice as they run are added to the Plan tab of the Tasks tool as new tasks. It may automatically start found tasks that are closely related to ongoing work; others wait for your review.

You remain the one who decides which work runs, how much the Manager can do, and how results are reviewed. Every change the Manager makes is listed and can be reverted or revised, even after they are committed. You can also talk to the Manager to ask why a task is being held, sort out a stuck queue, or give it special instructions about your development workflow.

Your Choice of AI Agent

Claude Code and Codex (run using its TUI) are best for autonomous development, since they self-check the safety of commands that they run. Antigravity, Copilot, and Cursor also work but don't implement the same level of safety checks. goose and OpenCode are not recommended for autonomous development. AI Agent Safety in the AI Agent-Assisted Development chapter of the manual in Wing 12.1's Help menu compares the agents in detail.

Each agent can run in one of two ways. A TUI session runs the agent's own terminal user interface inside Wing's AI Agent tool, and is the recommended way to use every agent that has one. An ACP session talks to the agent over the Agent Client Protocol and renders in Wing's AI agent conversation UI. Goose and some other agents work only through ACP.

Every agent gets Wing's MCP servers for code analysis, debugging, testing, and review, along with development guides that teach it how to work with Wing. The AI Agent tool, the Tasks tool, FIX and code actions, Write Tests, the review workflow, commit modes, the testing regimen, and autonomous task queueing all work the same way with every agent.

Each queue in the Tasks tool can use a different agent. Agents may run on the same host as the IDE or on a remote host.

You bring your own subscription or API key for the agent you choose. Wing does not install agents or provide access to models.

Other Improvements

User Interface: An optional new Modern look redesigns the toolbar, Preferences dialog, status bar, and tab overflow, and improves the display font. A welcome window lets you choose what to open at startup. Two new display themes, Night Flight and Solo Flight, have been added. Themes can now be imported from VS Code, created from a small set of colors, or exported from your current color configuration.

Tasks Tool (Wing Pro): New Checklists hold recurring reviews, fixes, and release and deployment steps. A task's committed changes can now be reverted, edited, or commented on. Every task has a short ID that links to the task wherever it is cited, and mini-search works on every tab. Tracking of changes made by concurrently running tasks is more reliable, and there are many other fixes to task and session management.

Version Control (Wing Pro and Wing Classic): The Git and Mercurial logs now show a graphical history with expandable diffs, Project Log replaces Show Changeset, and the editor can show annotations with commit message tooltips.

Editor and Analysis: In all products, the editor's scroll bar shows marks for diffs, search matches, and errors and warnings. In Wing Pro and Wing Classic, source analysis is faster and its database is about 30% smaller.

Other Changes: Wing now offers to remove large cache directories left behind by older versions. Accept Debug Connections has moved to Project Properties so it is set per project.

Wing 12.1 also includes many bug fixes, particularly for remote development and Docker containers, debugging free-threaded Python on Windows, git worktrees and submodules, non-ASCII text on Windows, unit test discovery, and display themes. See the change log for details.

Wing Python IDE Version 12.0.3 - September 14, 2026

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Wing Python IDE version 12.0.3 has been released. This release adds support for Python 3.15, substantially improves source code analysis of modern type hints, and speeds up auto-completion in large Python environments, including when auto-imports are enabled. It also improves management of Claude Code sessions and Tasks tool queues, updates the bundled typeshed, fixes several terminal issues, and fixes a number of bugs. See the change log for details.

Wing 12 integrates the Claude Code AI coding agent directly into the IDE, with a new Claude Code tool, a Tasks tool for planning and reviewing AI agent work, and a set of MCP servers that give the agent access to Wing's source code analysis, unit testing, debugger, and code review features. See the list of Wing 12 features below for details.

Downloads

After installing Wing 12, be sure to Check for Updates in Wing's Help menu so that you have the latest hot fixes.

Wing 12 -- the full Python IDE, available as Wing Pro (for agentic development) or Wing Classic (for manual development) depending on your license, with a free 30-day trial of Wing Pro.

Wing 101 v. 12 -- a simplified free Python IDE for teaching beginning programmers.

Wing 11 and earlier versions are not affected by installation of Wing 12 and may be installed and used independently. However, project files for Wing 11 and earlier are converted when opened by Wing 12 and should be saved under a new name, since Wing 12 projects cannot be opened by older versions of Wing.

New in Wing 12

AI Coding Agent Integration with Claude Code

Wing 12 adds a Claude Code tool that integrates the Claude Code AI coding agent with the IDE. Set Up for Claude Code in the Project menu configures the active project for AI agent development.

A set of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers gives Claude Code access to Wing's source code analysis, testing, and debugger functionality, so the agent can more efficiently navigate and understand your code, write, run, and fix unit tests, and use the debugger to diagnose difficult runtime errors. In our benchmarks, giving Claude Code access to Wing's MCP servers made agent-driven coding tasks both faster and cheaper.

Tasks Tool

The new Tasks tool lets you plan, queue, execute, review, and audit the history of AI agent development tasks, making it easier to supervise and inspect the agent's work before committing it to revision control.

FIX Features and Write Tests

Wing 12 adds AI agent driven FIX features that hand the current debugger bug, failing unit tests, or code warnings to Claude Code for resolution. New Write Tests items in the Testing and editor context menus prompt the agent to write unit tests for selected code.

Code Actions

Wing 12 also adds AI Code Actions, accessed from the FIX icon in the editor toolbar, that operate on selected code or the enclosing scope. Built-in actions include explaining code, reviewing it for quality or security risks, fixing code warnings, optimizing for performance, and updating comments and docstrings. The action list is user-extensible, so you can add your own prompts for tasks you run often.

Pseudo-Terminal for OS Commands and Debug I/O

The OS Commands and Debug I/O tools now default to using a pseudo-terminal that implements full ANSI terminal emulation, so you can run and debug programs that use color output, cursor positioning, or full-screen TUIs.

Redesigned OS Commands Capability

The OS Commands tool has been replaced with configurable OS Commands in the Tools menu. Each OS Command acts like its own tool, for use in any tool or editor split.

Tools in Editor Splits and Reorganized Tools Menu

Tools can now also be added or dragged to editor splits, allowing for much more flexible workspace layout. The Tools menu has been reorganized into related groups, with less-used and legacy tools in an Other sub-menu, so more commonly used tools are easier to find.

Test Discovery and Preferences Search

Wing 12 adds automatic test file discovery and discovery of individual unit tests within files, so you usually don't need to specify test file patterns or add test files individually. The Preferences dialog now supports text search and back/forward navigation.

Other Minor Features and Improvements

Wing 12 also includes many other improvements, including:

Support for Python 3.15
IDE build for ARM64 Windows
Improved and significantly faster source analysis
Improved performance and responsiveness
Improved remote agent installation and remote development
Faster auto-completion in large Python environments
Prompts for SSH passphrases and HTTPS credentials when needed during VCS operations
Faster detection of externally modified files, with reduced CPU load
Saving and restoring of tool console scrollback across project close and reopen
Clickable OSC 8 hyperlinks in the OS Commands and Debug I/O tools
A preference to select the ssh or plink.exe SSH implementation
A notice on the next startup when Wing's previous session ended in an unexpected crash

Wing 12 also makes a number of other bug fixes and usability improvements.

Product Line Changes

Wing 12 simplifies the product line. The Commercial / Non-Commercial use distinction has been replaced by two feature-based product tiers:

Wing Pro -- the full-featured Python IDE including AI agent development tools
Wing Classic -- the complete traditional Python IDE for hands-on development, with no AI agent features

Anyone may purchase either tier for any purpose. Existing Commercial and Non-Commercial Use licenses both become Wing Pro. Customers who don't need the AI agent features may move to Wing Classic at renewal time, or any time sooner by contacting support@wingware.com.

Wing Personal has been discontinued. Existing Wing Personal users may continue to use Personal 11.x indefinitely, switch to free Wing 101, or purchase a Wing Classic license. See Pricing for details.

Changes and Incompatibilities

The single-LLM-query AI features originally introduced in Wing 11 (the AI Coder and AI Chat tools) are considered legacy in Wing 12 and hidden from the user interface by default. They remain available in projects that already use them and can be re-enabled with Project Properties > AI in Project Properties or in the Projects > AI preferences.

Wing 101 11.1

Wing 10 and earlier versions are not affected by installation of Wing 11 and may be installed and used independently. However, project files for Wing 10 and earlier are converted when opened by Wing 11 and should be saved under a new name, since Wing 11 projects cannot be opened by older versions of Wing.

New in Wing 11

Improved AI Assisted Development

Wing 11 improves the user interface for AI assisted development by introducing two separate tools AI Coder and AI Chat. AI Coder can be used to write, redesign, or extend code in the current editor. AI Chat can be used to ask about code or iterate in creating a design or new code without directly modifying the code in an editor.

Wing 11's AI assisted development features now support not just OpenAI but also Claude, Grok, Gemini, Perplexity, Mistral, Deepseek, and any other OpenAI completions API compatible AI provider.

This release also improves setting up AI request context, so that both automatically and manually selected and described context items may be paired with an AI request. AI request contexts can now be stored, optionally so they are shared by all projects, and may be used independently with different AI features.

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.

Wing 11 also supports using AI to generate commit messages based on the changes being committed to a revision control system.

You can now also configure multiple AI providers for easier access to different models.

For details see AI Assisted Development under Wing Manual in Wing 11's Help menu.

Package Management with uv

Wing Pro 11 adds support for the uv package manager in the New Project dialog and the Packages tool.

For details see Project Manager > Creating Projects > Creating Python Environments and Package Manager > Package Management with uv under Wing Manual in Wing 11's Help menu.

Improved Python Code Analysis

Wing 11 makes substantial improvements to Python code analysis, with better support for literals such as dicts and sets, parametrized type aliases, typing.Self, type of variables on the def or class line that declares them, generic classes with [...], __all__ in *.pyi files, subscripts in typing.Type and similar, type aliases, type hints in strings, type[...] and tuple[...], @functools.cached_property, base classes found also in .pyi files, and typing.Literal[...].

Updated Localizations

Wing 11 updates the German, French, and Russian localizations, and introduces a new experimental AI-generated Spanish localization. The Spanish localization and the new AI-generated strings in the French and Russian localizations may be accessed with the new User Interface > Include AI Translated Strings preference.

Improved diff/merge

Wing Pro 11 adds floating buttons directly between the editors to make navigating differences and merging easier, allows undoing previously merged changes, and does a better job managing scratch buffers, scroll locking, and sizing of merged ranges.

For details see Difference and Merge under Wing Manual in Wing 11's Help menu.

Other Minor Features and Improvements

Wing 11 also adds support for Python 3.14, improves the custom key binding assignment user interface, adds a Files > Auto-Save Files When Wing Loses Focus preference, warns immediately when opening a project with an invalid Python Executable configuration, allows clearing recent menus, expands the set of available special environment variables for project configuration, and makes a number of other bug fixes and usability improvements.

Changes and Incompatibilities

Since Wing 11 replaced the AI tool with AI Coder and AI Chat, and AI configuration is completely different than in Wing 10, you will need to reconfigure your AI integration manually in Wing 11. This is done with Manage AI Providers in the AI menu. After adding the first provider configuration, Wing will set that provider as the default. You can switch between providers with Switch to Provider in the AI menu.

What's New in Wing 10

AI Assisted Development

Wing Pro 10 takes advantage of recent advances in the capabilities of generative AI to provide powerful AI assisted development, including AI code suggestion, AI driven code refactoring, description-driven development, and AI chat. You can ask Wing to use AI to (1) implement missing code at the current input position, (2) refactor, enhance, or extend existing code by describing the changes that you want to make, (3) write new code from a description of its functionality and design, or (4) chat in order to work through understanding and making changes to code.

Examples of requests you can make include:

"Add a docstring to this method"
"Create unit tests for class SearchEngine"
"Add a phone number field to the Person class"
"Clean up this code"
"Convert this into a Python generator"
"Create an RPC server that exposes all the public methods in class BuildingManager"
"Change this method to wait asynchronously for data and return the result with a callback"
"Rewrite this threaded code to instead run asynchronously"

Yes, really!

Your role changes to one of directing an intelligent assistant capable of completing a wide range of programming tasks in relatively short periods of time. Instead of typing out code by hand every step of the way, you are essentially directing someone else to work through the details of manageable steps in the software development process.

Support for Python 3.12, 3.13, and ARM64 Linux

Wing 10 adds support for Python 3.12 and 3.13, 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 10 also adds support for running Wing on ARM64 Linux systems.

Poetry Package Management

Wing Pro 10 adds support for Poetry package management in the New Project dialog and the Packages tool in the Tools menu. Poetry is an easy-to-use cross-platform dependency and package manager for Python, similar to pipenv.

Ruff Code Warnings & Reformatting

Wing Pro 10 adds support for Ruff as an external code checker in the Code Warnings tool, accessed from the Tools menu. Ruff can also be used as a code reformatter in the Source > Reformatting menu group. Ruff is an incredibly fast Python code checker that can replace or supplement flake8, pylint, pep8, and mypy.

Wing Python IDE 11 Early Access - March 27, 2025

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 01:00:00 GMT

Wing 11 is now available as an early access release, with improved AI assisted development, support for the uv package manager, improved Python code analysis, improved custom key binding assignment user interface, improved diff/merge, a new preference to auto-save files when Wing loses the application focus, updated German, French and Russian localizations (partly using AI), a new experimental AI-driven Spanish localization, and other bug fixes and minor improvements.

You can participate in the early access program simply by downloading the early access releases. We ask only that you keep your feedback and bug reports private by submitting them through Wing's Help menu or by emailing us at support@wingware.com.

Improved AI Assisted Development

Wing 11 also supports using AI to generate commit messages based on the changes being committed to a revision control system.

You can now also configure multiple AI providers for easier access to different models. However, as of this release, OpenAI is still the only supported AI provider and you will still need a paid OpenAI account and API key. We recommend paying for Tier 2 or better rate limits.

For details see AI Assisted Development under Wing Manual in Wing 11's Help menu.

Package Management with uv

Wing Pro 11 adds support for the uv package manager in the New Project dialog and the Packages tool.

Other Minor Features and Improvements

Wing 11 also improves the custom key binding assignment user interface, adds a Files > Auto-Save Files When Wing Loses Focus preference, warns immediately when opening a project with an invalid Python Executable configuration, allows clearing recent menus, expands the set of available special environment variables for project configuration, and makes a number of other bug fixes and usability improvements.

Changes and Incompatibilities

Since Wing 11 replaced the AI tool with AI Coder and AI Chat, and AI configuration is completely different than in Wing 10, so you will need to reconfigure your AI integration manually in Wing 11. This is done with Manage AI Providers in the AI menu or the Options menu in either AI tool. After adding the first provider configuration, Wing will set that provider as the default.
