Description of Changes
Currently, major updates require downloading new installers and minor/micro updates use conda-lock files to update the Spyder runtime environment using
conda update. This breaks the environment if the conda-lock file provides a minor update to Python. In order to permit Python minor updates, the runtime environment must be recreated.This PR has the Update Manager plugin use
conda updatefor micro releases of Spyder, andconda removeandconda createfor minor releases of Spyder. This permits Python minor updates to be included with Spyder minor updates. This also has the advantage of removing obsolete packages from the runtime environment on minor updates.
