49 Kill Instance Option
50 --------------------
51
52 If for some reasons you need to kill the location where the instance is
53 created and not called, for example if you create a single instance in
54 one place and debug in many locations, you can use the ``--instance``
55 option to kill this specific instance. Like for the ``call location``
56 killing an "instance" should work even if it is recreated within a
57 loop.

9 9 Remarkable changes and fixes:
10 10
11 11 * restore IPython's debugger to raise on quit. :ghpull:`10009`
12 12 * The configuration value ``c.TerminalInteractiveShell.highlighting_style`` can
13 13 now directly take a class argument for custom color style. :ghpull:`9848`
14 14 * Correctly handle matplotlib figures dpi :ghpull:`9868`
15 15 * Deprecate ``-e`` flag for the ``%notebook`` magic that had no effects.
16 16 :ghpull:`9872`
17 17 * You can now press F2 while typing at a terminal prompt to edit the contents
18 18 in your favourite terminal editor. Set the :envvar:`EDITOR` environment
19 19 variable to pick which editor is used. :ghpull:`9929`
20 20 * sdists will now only be ``.tar.gz`` as per upstream PyPI requirements.
21 21 :ghpull:`9925`
22 22 * :any:`IPython.core.debugger` have gained a ``set_trace()`` method for
23 23 convenience. :ghpull:`9947`
24 24 * The 'smart command mode' added to the debugger in 5.0 was removed, as more
25 25 people preferred the previous behaviour. Therefore, debugger commands such as
26 26 ``c`` will act as debugger commands even when ``c`` is defined as a variable.
27 27 :ghpull:`10050`
28 28 * Fixes OS X event loop issues at startup, :ghpull:`10150`
29 29 * Deprecate the ``%autoindent`` magic. :ghpull:`10176`
30 30 * Emit a :any:`DeprecationWarning` when setting the deprecated
31 31 ``limit_to_all`` option of the completer. :ghpull:`10198`
32 32
33 33
34 Changes of behavior to :any:`InteractiveShellEmbed`.
35
36 :any:`InteractiveShellEmbed` interactive behavior have changed a bit in between
37 5.1 and 5.2. By default ``%kill_embedded`` magic will prevent further invocation
38 of the current ``call location`` instead of preventing further invocation of
39 the current instance creation location. For most use case this will not change
40 much for you, though previous behavior was confusing and less consistent with
41 previous IPython versions.
42
43 You can now deactivate instances by using ``%kill_embedded --instance`` flag,
44 (or ``-i`` in short). The ``%kill_embedded`` magic also gained a
45 ``--yes``/``-y`` option which skip confirmation step, and ``-x``/``--exit``
46 which also exit the current embedded call without asking for confirmation.
47
48 See :ghpull:`10207`.

60 77 True Color feature
61 78 ------------------
62 79
63 80 ``prompt_toolkit`` uses pygments styles for syntax highlighting. By default, the
64 81 colors specified in the style are approximated using a standard 256-color
65 82 palette. ``prompt_toolkit`` also supports 24bit, a.k.a. "true", a.k.a. 16-million
66 83 color escape sequences which enable compatible terminals to display the exact
67 84 colors specified instead of an approximation. This true_color option exposes
68 85 that capability in prompt_toolkit to the IPython shell.
69 86
70 87 Here is a good source for the current state of true color support in various
71 88 terminal emulators and software projects: https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728

78 95 Released July 7, 2016
79 96
80 97 New terminal interface
81 98 ----------------------
82 99
83 100 IPython 5 features a major upgrade to the terminal interface, bringing live
84 101 syntax highlighting as you type, proper multiline editing and multiline paste,
85 102 and tab completions that don't clutter up your history.

88 105 :alt: New terminal interface features
89 106 :align: center
90 107 :target: ../_images/ptshell_features.png
91 108
92 109 These features are provided by the Python library `prompt_toolkit
93 110 <http://python-prompt-toolkit.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`__, which replaces
94 111 ``readline`` throughout our terminal interface.
95 112
96 113 Relying on this pure-Python, cross platform module also makes it simpler to
97 114 install IPython. We have removed dependencies on ``pyreadline`` for Windows and
98 115 ``gnureadline`` for Mac.
99 116
100 117 Backwards incompatible changes
101 118 ------------------------------
102 119
103 120 - The ``%install_ext`` magic function, deprecated since 4.0, has now been deleted.
104 121 You can distribute and install extensions as packages on PyPI.
105 122 - Callbacks registered while an event is being handled will now only be called
106 123 for subsequent events; previously they could be called for the current event.
107 124 Similarly, callbacks removed while handling an event *will* always get that
108 125 event. See :ghissue:`9447` and :ghpull:`9453`.
109 126 - Integration with pydb has been removed since pydb development has been stopped
110 127 since 2012, and pydb is not installable from PyPI.
111 128 - The ``autoedit_syntax`` option has apparently been broken for many years.
112 129 It has been removed.
113 130
114 131 New terminal interface
115 132 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
116 133
117 134 The overhaul of the terminal interface will probably cause a range of minor
118 135 issues for existing users.
119 136 This is inevitable for such a significant change, and we've done our best to
120 137 minimise these issues.
121 138 Some changes that we're aware of, with suggestions on how to handle them:
122 139
123 140 IPython no longer uses readline configuration (``~/.inputrc``). We hope that
124 141 the functionality you want (e.g. vi input mode) will be available by configuring
125 142 IPython directly (see :doc:`/config/options/terminal`).
126 143 If something's missing, please file an issue.
127 144
128 145 The ``PromptManager`` class has been removed, and the prompt machinery simplified.
129 146 See :ref:`custom_prompts` to customise prompts with the new machinery.
130 147
131 148 :mod:`IPython.core.debugger` now provides a plainer interface.
132 149 :mod:`IPython.terminal.debugger` contains the terminal debugger using
133 150 prompt_toolkit.
134 151
135 152 There are new options to configure the colours used in syntax highlighting.
136 153 We have tried to integrate them with our classic ``--colors`` option and
137 154 ``%colors`` magic, but there's a mismatch in possibilities, so some configurations
138 155 may produce unexpected results. See :ref:`termcolour` for more information.
139 156
140 157 The new interface is not compatible with Emacs 'inferior-shell' feature. To
141 158 continue using this, add the ``--simple-prompt`` flag to the command Emacs
142 159 runs. This flag disables most IPython features, relying on Emacs to provide
143 160 things like tab completion.
144 161
145 162 Provisional Changes
146 163 -------------------
147 164
148 165 Provisional changes are experimental functionality that may, or may not, make
149 166 it into a future version of IPython, and which API may change without warnings.
150 167 Activating these features and using these API are at your own risk, and may have
151 168 security implication for your system, especially if used with the Jupyter notebook,
152 169
153 170 When running via the Jupyter notebook interfaces, or other compatible client,
154 171 you can enable rich documentation experimental functionality:
155 172
156 173 When the ``docrepr`` package is installed setting the boolean flag
157 174 ``InteractiveShell.sphinxify_docstring`` to ``True``, will process the various
158 175 object through sphinx before displaying them (see the ``docrepr`` package
159 176 documentation for more information.
160 177
161 178 You need to also enable the IPython pager display rich HTML representation
162 179 using the ``InteractiveShell.enable_html_pager`` boolean configuration option.
163 180 As usual you can set these configuration options globally in your configuration
164 181 files, alternatively you can turn them on dynamically using the following
165 182 snippet:
166 183
167 184 .. code-block:: python
168 185
169 186 ip = get_ipython()
170 187 ip.sphinxify_docstring = True
171 188 ip.enable_html_pager = True
172 189
173 190
174 191 You can test the effect of various combinations of the above configuration in
175 192 the Jupyter notebook, with things example like :
176 193
177 194 .. code-block:: ipython
178 195
179 196 import numpy as np
180 197 np.histogram?
181 198
182 199
183 200 This is part of an effort to make Documentation in Python richer and provide in
184 201 the long term if possible dynamic examples that can contain math, images,
185 202 widgets... As stated above this is nightly experimental feature with a lot of
186 203 (fun) problem to solve. We would be happy to get your feedback and expertise on
187 204 it.
188 205
189 206
190 207
191 208 Deprecated Features
192 209 -------------------
193 210
194 211 Some deprecated features are listed in this section. Don't forget to enable
195 212 ``DeprecationWarning`` as an error if you are using IPython in a Continuous
196 213 Integration setup or in your testing in general:
197 214
198 215 .. code-block:: python
199 216
200 217 import warnings
201 218 warnings.filterwarnings('error', '.*', DeprecationWarning, module='yourmodule.*')
202 219
203 220
204 221 - ``hooks.fix_error_editor`` seems unused and is pending deprecation.
205 222 - `IPython/core/excolors.py:ExceptionColors` is deprecated.
206 223 - `IPython.core.InteractiveShell:write()` is deprecated; use `sys.stdout` instead.
207 224 - `IPython.core.InteractiveShell:write_err()` is deprecated; use `sys.stderr` instead.
208 225 - The `formatter` keyword argument to `Inspector.info` in `IPython.core.oinspec` has no effect.
209 226 - The `global_ns` keyword argument of IPython Embed was deprecated, and has no effect. Use `module` keyword argument instead.
210 227
211 228
212 229 Known Issues:
213 230 -------------
214 231
215 232 - ``<Esc>`` Key does not dismiss the completer and does not clear the current
216 233 buffer. This is an on purpose modification due to current technical
217 234 limitation. Cf :ghpull:`9572`. Escape the control character which is used
218 235 for other shortcut, and there is no practical way to distinguish. Use Ctr-G
219 236 or Ctrl-C as an alternative.
220 237
221 238 - Cannot use ``Shift-Enter`` and ``Ctrl-Enter`` to submit code in terminal. cf
222 239 :ghissue:`9587` and :ghissue:`9401`. In terminal there is no practical way to
223 240 distinguish these key sequences from a normal new line return.
224 241
225 242 - ``PageUp`` and ``pageDown`` do not move through completion menu.
226 243
227 244 - Color styles might not adapt to terminal emulator themes. This will need new
228 245 version of Pygments to be released, and can be mitigated with custom themes.
