Today I released first betas of upcoming Thonny 3.3 with several improvements for MicroPython development:

* Refactored communication with MicroPython REPL. Should fix various intermittent errors encountered by several Thonny users.
* Support for Unix port, both local and over SSH.
* MicroPython package manager (based on micropip.py by Peter Hinch).

Python+Thonny binary bundles can be found here: https://github.com/thonny/thonny/releases/tag/v3.3.0b2
Alternatively you can install it with "pip install --pre thonny"

Looking forward to your feedback! (Please report bugs here: https://github.com/thonny/thonny/issues/new)

Thanks for all your efforts Alvar! This looks really cool.

I helped write some workshop material for beginners last year and need to base it around some tool to help deploy files to a device. I chose the alpha of Mu (which is also great) over Thonny because, at the time, using it with MicroPython was problematic. Glad that's no longer the case!

Thanks for an update.
Have been using Thonny with uPython boards for a fairly long time without major issues.
Very easy and quick productivity on Windows environment.

Windows 10 antivirus complained as unsafe when downloading exe, had to create an exception, have reported it as safe.
