 ==========
 What's new
 ==========
 
 .. contents::
 
 Release 0.9
 ===========
 
 New features
 ------------
 
 	* All of the parallel computing capabilities from `ipython1-dev` have been merged into
 	  IPython proper.  This resulted in the following new subpackages:  
 	  :mod:`IPython.kernel`, :mod:`IPython.kernel.core`, :mod:`IPython.config`,
 	  :mod:`IPython.tools` and :mod:`IPython.testing`.
 	* As part of merging in the `ipython1-dev` stuff, the `setup.py` script and friends
 	  have been completely refactored.  Now we are checking for dependencies using
 	  the approach that matplotlib uses.
 	* The documentation has been completely reorganized to accept the documentation
 	  from `ipython1-dev`.
 	* We have switched to using Foolscap for all of our network protocols in
 	  :mod:`IPython.kernel`.  This gives us secure connections that are both encrypted
 	  and authenticated.
 	* We have a brand new `COPYING.txt` files that describes the IPython license
 	  and copyright.  The biggest change is that we are putting "The IPython
 	  Development Team" as the copyright holder.  We give more details about exactly
 	  what this means in this file.  All developer should read this and use the new
 	  banner in all IPython source code files.
+        * sh profile: ./foo runs foo as system command, no need to do !./foo anymore
 
 Bug fixes
 ---------
 
 	* A few subpackages has missing `__init__.py` files.
 	* The documentation is only created is Sphinx is found.  Previously, the `setup.py`
 	  script would fail if it was missing.
 
 Backwards incompatible changes
 ------------------------------
 
 	* IPython has a larger set of dependencies if you want all of its capabilities.
 	  See the `setup.py` script for details.
 	* The constructors for :class:`IPython.kernel.client.MultiEngineClient` and 
 	  :class:`IPython.kernel.client.TaskClient` no longer take the (ip,port) tuple.
 	  Instead they take the filename of a file that contains the FURL for that
 	  client.  If the FURL file is in your IPYTHONDIR, it will be found automatically
 	  and the constructor can be left empty.
 	* The asynchronous clients in :mod:`IPython.kernel.asyncclient` are now created 
 	  using the factory functions :func:`get_multiengine_client` and 
 	  :func:`get_task_client`.  These return a `Deferred` to the actual client.
 	* The command line options to `ipcontroller` and `ipengine` have changed to
 	  reflect the new Foolscap network protocol and the FURL files.  Please see the
 	  help for these scripts for details.
 	* The configuration files for the kernel have changed because of the Foolscap stuff.
 	  If you were using custom config files before, you should delete them and regenerate
 	  new ones.
 
 Changes merged in from IPython1
 -------------------------------
 
 New features
 ............
 
 	* Much improved ``setup.py`` and ``setupegg.py`` scripts.  Because Twisted
 	  and zope.interface are now easy installable, we can declare them as dependencies
 	  in our setupegg.py script.
 	* IPython is now compatible with Twisted 2.5.0 and 8.x.
 	* Added a new example of how to use :mod:`ipython1.kernel.asynclient`.
 	* Initial draft of a process daemon in :mod:`ipython1.daemon`.  This has not
 	  been merged into IPython and is still in `ipython1-dev`.
 	* The ``TaskController`` now has methods for getting the queue status.
 	* The ``TaskResult`` objects not have information about how long the task
 	  took to run.
 	* We are attaching additional attributes to exceptions ``(_ipython_*)`` that 
 	  we use to carry additional info around.
 	* New top-level module :mod:`asyncclient` that has asynchronous versions (that
 	  return deferreds) of the client classes.  This is designed to users who want
 	  to run their own Twisted reactor
 	* All the clients in :mod:`client` are now based on Twisted.  This is done by 
 	  running the Twisted reactor in a separate thread and using the
 	  :func:`blockingCallFromThread` function that is in recent versions of Twisted.
 	* Functions can now be pushed/pulled to/from engines using
 	  :meth:`MultiEngineClient.push_function` and :meth:`MultiEngineClient.pull_function`.
 	* Gather/scatter are now implemented in the client to reduce the work load
 	  of the controller and improve performance.
 	* Complete rewrite of the IPython docuementation.  All of the documentation
 	  from the IPython website has been moved into docs/source as restructured
 	  text documents.  PDF and HTML documentation are being generated using 
 	  Sphinx.
 	* New developer oriented documentation: development guidelines and roadmap. 
 	* Traditional ``ChangeLog`` has been changed to a more useful ``changes.txt`` file
 	  that is organized by release and is meant to provide something more relevant
 	  for users.
 
 Bug fixes
 .........
 
 	* Created a proper ``MANIFEST.in`` file to create source distributions.
 	* Fixed a bug in the ``MultiEngine`` interface.  Previously, multi-engine 
 	  actions were being collected with a :class:`DeferredList` with 
 	  ``fireononeerrback=1``.  This meant that methods were returning 
 	  before all engines had given their results.  This was causing extremely odd 
 	  bugs in certain cases. To fix this problem, we have 1) set 
 	  ``fireononeerrback=0`` to make sure all results (or exceptions) are in 
 	  before returning and 2) introduced a :exc:`CompositeError` exception 
 	  that wraps all of the engine exceptions.  This is a huge change as it means 
 	  that users will have to catch :exc:`CompositeError` rather than the actual
 	  exception.
 
 Backwards incompatible changes
 ..............................
 
 	* All names have been renamed to conform to the lowercase_with_underscore
 	  convention.  This will require users to change references to all names like
 	  ``queueStatus`` to ``queue_status``.
 	* Previously, methods like :meth:`MultiEngineClient.push` and    	
 	  :meth:`MultiEngineClient.push` used ``*args`` and ``**kwargs``.  This was 
 	  becoming a problem as we weren't able to introduce new keyword arguments into
 	  the API.  Now these methods simple take a dict or sequence.  This has also allowed
 	  us to get rid of the ``*All`` methods like :meth:`pushAll` and :meth:`pullAll`.
 	  These things are now handled with the ``targets`` keyword argument that defaults
 	  to ``'all'``.
 	* The :attr:`MultiEngineClient.magicTargets` has been renamed to
 	  :attr:`MultiEngineClient.targets`. 
 	* All methods in the MultiEngine interface now accept the optional keyword argument
 	  ``block``.
 	* Renamed :class:`RemoteController` to :class:`MultiEngineClient` and 
 	  :class:`TaskController` to :class:`TaskClient`.
 	* Renamed the top-level module from :mod:`api` to :mod:`client`.
 	* Most methods in the multiengine interface now raise a :exc:`CompositeError` exception
 	  that wraps the user's exceptions, rather than just raising the raw user's exception.
 	* Changed the ``setupNS`` and ``resultNames`` in the ``Task`` class to ``push`` 
 	  and ``pull``.
 
 Release 0.8.4
 =============
 
 Someone needs to describe what went into 0.8.4.
 
 Release 0.8.2
 =============
 
 * %pushd/%popd behave differently; now "pushd /foo" pushes CURRENT directory 
   and jumps to /foo. The current behaviour is closer to the documented 
   behaviour, and should not trip anyone.
   
 Release 0.8.3
 =============
   
 * pydb is now disabled by default (due to %run -d problems). You can enable
   it by passing -pydb command line argument to IPython. Note that setting
   it in config file won't work.
 
 Older releases
 ==============
 
 Changes in earlier releases of IPython are described in the older file ``ChangeLog``.  
 Please refer to this document for details.
