r12225 | - `%%capture` cell magic now captures the rich display output, not just | ||
stdout/stderr | ||||

r12900 | Select Notebook Name When Renaming a Notebook | ||
--------------------------------------------- | ||||
The default notebook name is Untitled. It's unlikely you want to keep this name | ||||
or part of it when naming your notebook. Instead, IPython will select the text | ||||
in the input field so the user can easily type over the name and change it. | ||||
clear_output changes | ||||
-------------------- | ||||
* There is no longer a 500ms delay when calling ``clear_output``. | ||||
* The ability to clear stderr and stdout individually was removed. | ||||
* A new ``wait`` flag that prevents ``clear_output`` from being executed until new | ||||
output is available. This eliminates animation flickering by allowing the | ||||
user to double buffer the output. | ||||
* The output div height is remembered when the ``wait=True`` flag is used. | ||||

r13535 | Extending Configurable Containers | ||
--------------------------------- | ||||
Some configurable traits are containers (list, dict, set) | ||||
Config objects now support calling ``extend``, ``update``, ``insert``, etc. | ||||
on traits in config files, which will ultimately result in calling | ||||
those methods on the original object. | ||||
The effect being that you can now add to containers without having to copy/paste | ||||
the initial value:: | ||||
c = get_config() | ||||
c.InlineBackend.rc.update({ 'figure.figsize' : (6, 4) }) | ||||
* In notebook, Showing tooltip on tab has been disables to avoid conflict with | ||||
completion, Shift-Tab could still be used to invoke tooltip when inside | ||||
function signature and/or on selection. | ||||
Single codebase Python 3 support | ||||
-------------------------------- | ||||
IPython previously supported Python 3 by running 2to3 during setup. We | ||||
have now switched to a single codebase which runs natively on Python 2.7 | ||||
and 3.3. | ||||
For notes on how to maintain this, see :doc:`/development/pycompat`. | ||||
* ``object_info_request`` as been replaced by ``object_info`` for consistency in the javascript API. | ||||
``object_info`` as a simpler interface to register callback that is incompatible with ``object_info_request``. | ||||
* Previous versions of IPython on Linux would use the XDG config directory, | ||||
creating :file:`~/.config/ipython` by default. We have decided to go | ||||
back to :file:`~/.ipython` for consistency among systems. IPython will | ||||
issue a warning if it finds the XDG location, and will move it to the new | ||||
location if there isn't already a directory there. | ||||
* Equations, images and tables are now centered in Markdown cells. | ||||
* Multiline equations are now centered in output areas; single line equations | ||||
remain left justified. | ||||

r8218 | Backwards incompatible changes | ||
------------------------------ | ||||
Thomas Kluyver
|
r12147 | * Python 2.6 and 3.2 are no longer supported: the minimum required | ||
Python versions are now 2.7 and 3.3. | ||||
Paul Ivanov
|
r12219 | * The Transformer classes have been renamed to Preprocessor in nbconvert and | ||
their `call` methods for them have been renamed to `preprocess`. | ||||
Paul Ivanov
|
r12218 | * The `call` methods of nbconvert post-processsors have been renamed to | ||
`postprocess`. | ||||
Thomas Kluyver
|
r12900 | |||
* The module ``IPython.core.fakemodule`` has been removed. | ||||
* The alias system has been reimplemented to use magic functions. There should be little | ||||
visible difference while automagics are enabled, as they are by default, but parts of the | ||||
:class:`~IPython.core.alias.AliasManager` API have been removed. | ||||
* We fixed an issue with switching between matplotlib inline and GUI backends, | ||||
but the fix requires matplotlib 1.1 or newer. So from now on, we consider | ||||
matplotlib 1.1 to be the minimally supported version for IPython. Older | ||||
versions for the most part will work, but we make no guarantees about it. | ||||
* The :command:`pycolor` command has been removed. We recommend the much more capable | ||||
:command:`pygmentize` command from the `Pygments <http://pygments.org/>`_ project. | ||||
If you need to keep the exact output of :command:`pycolor`, you can still use | ||||
``python -m IPython.utils.PyColorize foo.py``. | ||||
