+New setting to silence warning if working inside a virtual environment
+======================================================================
+
+Previously, when starting IPython in a virtual environment without IPython installed (so IPython from the global environment is used), the following warning was printed:
+
+    Attempting to work in a virtualenv. If you encounter problems, please install IPython inside the virtualenv.
+
+This warning can be permanently silenced by setting ``c.InteractiveShell.warn_venv`` to ``False`` (the default is ``True``).
