13 13 Using different kernels
14 14 -----------------------
15 15
16 16 .. image:: ../_images/kernel_selector_screenshot.png
17 17 :alt: Screenshot of notebook kernel selection dropdown menu
18 18 :align: center
19 19
20 20 You can now choose a kernel for a notebook within the user interface, rather
21 21 than starting up a separate notebook server for each kernel you want to use. The
22 22 syntax highlighting adapts to match the language you're working in.
23 23
24 24 Information about the kernel is stored in the notebook file, so when you open a
25 25 notebook, it will automatically start the correct kernel.
26 26
27 27 It is also easier to use the Qt console and the terminal console with other
28 28 kernels, using the --kernel flag::
29 29
30 30 ipython qtconsole --kernel bash
31 31 ipython console --kernel bash
32 32
33 33 # To list available kernels
34 34 ipython kernelspec list
35 35
36 36 Kernel authors should see :ref:`kernelspecs` for how to register their kernels
37 37 with IPython so that these mechanisms work.
38 38
39 39 Typing unicode identifiers
40 40 --------------------------
41 41
42 42 .. image:: /_images/unicode_completion.png
43 43
44 44 Complex expressions can be much cleaner when written with a wider choice of
45 45 characters. Python 3 allows unicode identifiers, and IPython 3 makes it easier
46 46 to type those, using a feature from Julia. Type a backslash followed by a LaTeX
47 47 style short name, such as ``\alpha``. Press tab, and it will turn into Ξ±.
48 48
49 49 Other new features
50 50 ------------------
51 51
52 52 * :class:`~.TextWidget` and :class:`~.TextareaWidget` objects now include a
53 53 ``placeholder`` attribute, for displaying placeholder text before the
54 54 user has typed anything.
55 55
56 56 * The :magic:`load` magic can now find the source for objects in the user namespace.
57 57 To enable searching the namespace, use the ``-n`` option.
58 58
59 59 .. sourcecode:: ipython
60 60
61 61 In [1]: %load -n my_module.some_function
62 62
63 63 * :class:`~.DirectView` objects have a new :meth:`~.DirectView.use_cloudpickle`
64 64 method, which works like ``view.use_dill()``, but causes the ``cloudpickle``
65 65 module from PiCloud's `cloud`__ library to be used rather than dill or the
66 66 builtin pickle module.
67 67
68 68 __ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloud
69 69
70 70 * Added a .ipynb exporter to nbconvert. It can be used by passing `--to notebook`
71 71 as a commandline argument to nbconvert.
72 72
73 73 * New nbconvert preprocessor called :class:`~.ClearOutputPreprocessor`. This
74 74 clears the output from IPython notebooks.
75 75
76 76 * New preprocessor for nbconvert that executes all the code cells in a notebook.
77 77 To run a notebook and save its output in a new notebook::
78 78
79 79 ipython nbconvert InputNotebook --ExecutePreprocessor.enabled=True --to notebook --output Executed
80 80
81 81 * Consecutive stream (stdout/stderr) output is merged into a single output
82 82 in the notebook document.
83 83 Previously, all output messages were preserved as separate output fields in the JSON.
84 84 Now, the same merge is applied to the stored output as the displayed output,
85 85 improving document load time for notebooks with many small outputs.
86 86
87 87 * ``NotebookApp.webapp_settings`` is deprecated and replaced with
88 88 the more informatively named ``NotebookApp.tornado_settings``.
89 89
90 90 * Using :magic:`timeit` prints warnings if there is atleast a 4x difference in timings
91 91 between the slowest and fastest runs, since this might meant that the multiple
92 92 runs are not independent of one another.
93 93
94 94 * It's now possible to provide mechanisms to integrate IPython with other event
95 95 loops, in addition to the ones we already support. This lets you run GUI code
96 96 in IPython with an interactive prompt, and to embed the IPython
97 97 kernel in GUI applications. See :doc:`/config/eventloops` for details. As part
98 98 of this, the direct ``enable_*`` and ``disable_*`` functions for various GUIs
99 99 in :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook` have been deprecated in favour of
100 100 :meth:`~.InputHookManager.enable_gui` and :meth:`~.InputHookManager.disable_gui`.
101 101
102 102 * A ``ScrollManager`` was added to the notebook. The ``ScrollManager`` controls how the notebook document is scrolled using keyboard. Users can inherit from the ``ScrollManager`` or ``TargetScrollManager`` to customize how their notebook scrolls. The default ``ScrollManager`` is the ``SlideScrollManager``, which tries to scroll to the nearest slide or sub-slide cell.
103 103
104 104 * The function :func:`~IPython.html.widgets.interaction.interact_manual` has been
105 105 added which behaves similarly to :func:`~IPython.html.widgets.interaction.interact`,
106 106 but adds a button to explicitly run the interacted-with function, rather than
107 107 doing it automatically for every change of the parameter widgets. This should
108 108 be useful for long-running functions.
109 109
110 110 * The ``%cython`` magic is now part of the Cython module. Use `%load_ext Cython` with a version of Cython >= 0.21 to have access to the magic now.
111 111
112 112 * The Notebook application now offers integrated terminals on Unix platforms,
113 113 intended for when it is used on a remote server. To enable these, install
114 114 the ``terminado`` Python package.
115 115
116 116 * Setting the default highlighting language for nbconvert with the config option
117 117 ``NbConvertBase.default_language`` is deprecated. Nbconvert now respects
118 118 metadata stored in the :ref:`kernel spec <kernelspecs>`.
119 119
120 120 * IPython can now be configured systemwide, with files in :file:`/etc/ipython`
121 121 or :file:`/usr/local/etc/ipython` on Unix systems,
122 122 or :file:`{%PROGRAMDATA%}\\ipython` on Windows.

126 126
127 127 Backwards incompatible changes
128 128 ------------------------------
129 129
130 130 * :func:`IPython.core.oinspect.getsource` call specification has changed:
131 131
132 132 * `oname` keyword argument has been added for property source formatting
133 133 * `is_binary` keyword argument has been dropped, passing ``True`` had
134 134 previously short-circuited the function to return ``None`` unconditionally
135 135
136 136 * Removed the octavemagic extension: it is now available as ``oct2py.ipython``.
137 137
138 138 * Creating PDFs with LaTeX no longer uses a post processor.
139 139 Use `nbconvert --to pdf` instead of `nbconvert --to latex --post pdf`.
140 140
141 141 * Used https://github.com/jdfreder/bootstrap2to3 to migrate the Notebook to Bootstrap 3.
142 142
143 143 Additional changes:
144 144
145 145 - Set `.tab-content .row` `0px;` left and right margin (bootstrap default is `-15px;`)
146 146 - Removed `height: @btn_mini_height;` from `.list_header>div, .list_item>div` in `tree.less`
147 147 - Set `#header` div `margin-bottom: 0px;`
148 148 - Set `#menus` to `float: left;`
149 149 - Set `#maintoolbar .navbar-text` to `float: none;`
150 150 - Added no-padding convienence class.
151 151 - Set border of #maintoolbar to 0px
152 152
153 153 * Accessing the `container` DOM object when displaying javascript has been
154 154 deprecated in IPython 2.0 in favor of accessing `element`. Starting with
155 155 IPython 3.0 trying to access `container` will raise an error in browser
156 156 javascript console.
157 157
158 158 * ``IPython.utils.py3compat.open`` was removed: :func:`io.open` provides all
159 159 the same functionality.
160 160
161 161 * The NotebookManager and ``/api/notebooks`` service has been replaced by
162 162 a more generic ContentsManager and ``/api/contents`` service,
163 163 which supports all kinds of files.
164 164 * The Dashboard now lists all files, not just notebooks and directories.
165 165 * The ``--script`` hook for saving notebooks to Python scripts is removed,
166 166 use :samp:`ipython nbconvert --to python {notebook}` instead.
167 167
168 168 * The ``rmagic`` extension is deprecated, as it is now part of rpy2. See
169 169 :mod:`rpy2.ipython.rmagic`.
170 170
171 171 * :meth:`~.KernelManager.start_kernel` and :meth:`~.KernelManager.format_kernel_cmd`
172 172 no longer accept a ``executable`` parameter. Use the kernelspec machinery instead.
173 173
174 174 * The widget classes have been renamed from `*Widget` to `*`. The old names are
175 175 still functional, but are deprecated. i.e. `IntSliderWidget` has been renamed
176 176 to `IntSlider`.
177 177 * The ContainerWidget was renamed to Box and no longer defaults as a flexible
178 178 box in the web browser. A new FlexBox widget was added, which allows you to
179 179 use the flexible box model.
180 180
181 181 .. DO NOT EDIT THIS LINE BEFORE RELEASE. INCOMPAT INSERTION POINT.

183 IFrame embedding
184 ````````````````
183 Content Security Policy
184 ```````````````````````
185 185
186 The IPython Notebook and its APIs by default will only be allowed to be
187 embedded in an iframe on the same origin.
186 The Content Security Policy is a web standard for adding a layer of security to
187 detect and mitigate certain classes of attacks, including Cross Site Scripting
188 (XSS) and data injection attacks. This was introduced into the notebook to
189 ensure that the IPython Notebook and its APIs (by default) can only be embedded
190 in an iframe on the same origin.
188 191
189 192 Override ``headers['Content-Security-Policy']`` within your notebook
190 193 configuration to extend for alternate domains and security settings.::
191 194
192 195 c.NotebookApp.tornado_settings = {
193 196 'headers': {
194 'Content-Security-Policy': "default-src 'self' *.jupyter.org
197 'Content-Security-Policy': "default-src 'self' *.jupyter.org"
195 198 }
196 199 }
197 200
201 Example policies::
202
203 Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self' https://*.jupyter.org
204
205 Matches embeddings on any subdomain of jupyter.org, so long as they are served
206 over SSL.
207
