 =================
 Releasing IPython
 =================
 
 This section contains notes about the process that is used to release IPython.
 Our release process is currently not very formal and could be improved.
 
 Most of the release process is automated by the :file:`release` script in the
 :file:`tools` directory.  This is just a handy reminder for the release manager.
 
 #. For writing release notes, this will cleanly show who contributed as author
    of commits (get the previous release name from the tag list with ``git
    tag``)::
 
    git log --pretty=format:"* %an" PREV_RELEASE... | sort | uniq
 
 #. Run :file:`build_release`, which does all the file checking and building
    that the real release script will do.  This will let you do test
    installations, check that the build procedure runs OK, etc.  You may want to
    disable a few things like multi-version RPM building while testing, because
    otherwise the build takes really long.
 
 #. Run the release script, which makes the tar.gz, eggs and Win32 .exe
    installer.  It posts them to the site and registers the release with PyPI.
 
 #. Update the website with announcements and links to the updated changes.txt
-   in html form. Remember to put a short note both on the news page of the 
-   site and on Launcphad.
+   in html form. Remember to put a short note on the news page of the site.
    
 #. Drafting a short release announcement with i) highlights and ii) a link to
    the html version of the :ref:`Whats new <whatsnew_index>` section of the 
    documentation.
 
 #. Make sure that the released version of the docs is live on the site.  For
    this we are now using the gh-pages system:
 
    - Make a static directory for the final copy of the release docs.
    - Update the :file:`index.rst` file and run :file:`build_index.py` to update
      the html version.
    - Update the ``stable`` symlink to point to the released version.
    - Run ``git add`` for all the new files and commit.
    - Run ``git push`` to update the public version of the docs on gh-pages.

 Release 0.12
 ============
 
 IPython 0.12 contains several major new features, as well as a large amount of
 bug and regression fixes.  The 0.11 release brought with it a lot of new
 functionality and major refactorings of the codebase; by and large this has
 proven to be a success as the number of contributions to the project has
 increased dramatically, proving that the code is now much more approachable.
 But in the refactoring inevitably some bugs were introduced, and we have also
 squashed many of those as well as recovered some functionality that had been
 temporarily disabled due to the API changes.
 
 The following major new features appear in this version.
 
 
 An interactive browser-based Notebook with rich media support
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 A powerful new interface puts IPython in your browser. You can start it with
 the command ``ipython notebook``:
 
 .. figure:: ../_static/notebook_specgram.png
     :width: 400px
     :alt: The IPython notebook with embedded text, code, math and figures.
     :align: center
     :target: ../_static/notebook_specgram.png
 
     The new IPython notebook showing text, mathematical expressions in LaTeX,
     code, results and embedded figures created with Matplotlib.
 
 This new interface maintains all the features of IPython you are used to, as it
 is a new client that communicates with the same IPython kernels used by the
 terminal and Qt console.  But the web notebook provides for a different
 workflow where you can integrate, along with code execution, also text,
 mathematical expressions, graphics, video, and virtually any content that a
 modern browser is capable of displaying.
 
 You can save your work sessions as documents that retain all these elements and
 which can be version controlled, emailed to colleagues or saved as HTML or PDF
 files for printing or publishing statically on the web.  The internal storage
 format is a JSON file that can be easily manipulated for manual exporting to
 other formats.
 
 This Notebook is a major milestone for IPython, as for years we have tried to
 build this kind of system.  We were inspired originally by the excellent
 implementation in Mathematica, we made a number of attempts using older
 technologies in earlier Summer of Code projects in 2005 (both students and
 Robert Kern developed early prototypes), and in recent years we have seen the
 excellent implementation offered by the `Sage <http://sagemath.org>` system.
 But we continued to work on something that would be consistent with the rest of
 IPython's design, and it is clear now that the effort was worth it: based on
 the ZeroMQ communications architecture introduced in version 0.11, the notebook
 can now retain 100% of the features of the real IPython.  But it can also
 provide the rich media support and high quality Javascript libraries that were
 not available in browsers even one or two years ago (such as high-quality
 mathematical rendering or built-in video).
 
 The notebook has too many useful and important features to describe in these
 release notes; our documentation now contains a directory called
 ``examples/notebooks`` with several notebooks that illustrate various aspects
 of the system.  You should start by reading those named
 ``00_notebook_tour.ipynb`` and ``01_notebook_introduction.ipynb`` first, and
 then can proceed to read the others in any order you want.
 
 To start the notebook server, go to a directory containing the notebooks you
 want to open (or where you want to create new ones) and type::
 
   ipython notebook
 
 You can see all the relevant options with::
 
   ipython notebook --help
   ipython notebook --help-all  # even more
 
 and just like the Qt console, you can start the notebook server with pylab
 support by using::
   
   ipython notebook --pylab
 
 for floating matplotlib windows or::
   
   ipython notebook --pylab inline
 
 for plotting support with automatically inlined figures.  Note that it is now
 possible also to activate pylab support at runtime via ``%pylab``, so you do
 not need to make this decision when starting the server.
   
 See :ref:`the Notebook docs <htmlnotebook>` for technical details.
 
 
 Two-process terminal console
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Based on the same architecture as the notebook and the Qt console, we also have
 now a terminal-based console that can connect to an external IPython kernel
 (the same kernels used by the Qt console or the notebook, in fact).  While this
 client behaves almost identically to the usual IPython terminal application,
 this capability can be very useful to attach an interactive console to an
 existing kernel that was started externally.  It lets you use the interactive
 ``%debug`` facilities in a notebook, for example (the web browser can't
 interact directly with the debugger) or debug a third-party code where you may
 have embedded an IPython kernel.
 
 This is also something that we have wanted for a long time, and which is a
 culmination (as a team effort) of the work started last year during the 2010
 Google Summer of Code project.
   
 Tabbed QtConsole
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 The QtConsole now supports starting multiple kernels in tabs, and has a
 menubar, so it looks and behaves more like a real application.  Keyboard
 enthusiasts can disable the menubar with ctrl-shift-M (:ghpull:`887`).
 
 .. figure:: ../_static/qtconsole_tabbed.png
     :width: 400px
     :alt: Tabbed IPython Qt console with embedded plots and menus.
     :align: center
     :target: ../_static/qtconsole_tabbed.png
 
     The improved Qt console for IPython, now with tabs to control multiple
     kernels and full menu support.
 
 
 Full Python 3 compatibility
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 IPython can now be installed from a single codebase on Python 2 and
 Python 3. The installation process for Python 3 automatically runs 2to3. The
 same 'default' profile is now used for Python 2 and 3 (the previous version had
 a separate 'python3' profile).
 
 Standalone Kernel
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 The ``ipython kernel`` subcommand has been added, to allow starting a
 standalone kernel, that can be used with various frontends.  You can then later
 connect a Qt console or a terminal console to this kernel by typing e.g.::
 
   ipython qtconsole --existing
 
 if it's the only one running, or by passing explicitly the connection
 parameters (printed by the kernel at startup).
 
 
 PyPy support
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 The terminal interface to IPython now runs under `PyPy <http://pypy.org/>`_.
 We will continue to monitor PyPy's progress, and hopefully before long at least
 we'll be able to also run the notebook.  The Qt console may take longer, as Qt
 is a very complex set of bindings to a huge C++ library, and that is currently
 the area where PyPy still lags most behind.  But for everyday interactive use
 at the terminal, with this release and PyPy 1.7, things seem to work quite well
 from our admittedly limited testing.
 
   
 Other important new features
 ----------------------------
 
 * **SSH Tunnels**: In 0.11, the :mod:`IPython.parallel` Client could tunnel its
   connections to the Controller via ssh. Now, the QtConsole :ref:`supports
   <ssh_tunnels>` ssh tunneling, as do parallel engines.
 
 * **relaxed command-line parsing**: 0.11 was released with overly-strict
   command-line parsing, preventing the ability to specify arguments with spaces,
   e.g. ``ipython --pylab qt`` or ``ipython -c "print 'hi'"``. This has
   been fixed, by using argparse. The new parsing is a strict superset of 0.11, so
   any commands in 0.11 should still work in 0.12.
 
 * **HistoryAccessor**: The :class:`~IPython.core.history.HistoryManager` class
   for interacting with your IPython SQLite history database has been split,
   adding a parent :class:`~IPython.core.history.HistoryAccessor` class, so that
   users can write code to access and search their IPython history without being
   in an IPython session (:ghpull:`824`).
 
 * **kernel %gui and %pylab**: The ``%gui`` and ``%pylab`` magics have been
   restored to the IPython kernel (e.g. in the qtconsole or notebook). This
   allows activation of pylab-mode, or eventloop integration after starting the
   kernel, which was unavailable in 0.11.  Unlike in the terminal, this can be
   set only once, and cannot be changed.
 
 * **%config**: A new ``%config`` magic has been added, giving easy access to the
   IPython configuration system at runtime (:ghpull:`923`).
 
 * **Multiline History**: Multiline readline history has been restored to the
   Terminal frontend by default (:ghpull:`838`).
 
 * **%store**: The ``%store`` magic from earlier versions has been updated and
   re-enabled (:ref:`extensions_storemagic`; :ghpull:`1029`). To autorestore
   stored variables on startup, specify ``c.StoreMagic.autorestore = True`` in
   :file:`ipython_config.py`.
 
 
 Major Bugs fixed
 ----------------
 
 In this cycle, we have :ref:`closed over 500 issues <issues_list_012>`, but a
 few major ones merit special mention:
 
 * Simple configuration errors should no longer crash IPython. In 0.11, errors
   in config files, as well as invalid trait values, could crash IPython. Now,
   such errors are reported, and help is displayed.
 
 * Certain SyntaxErrors no longer crash IPython (e.g. just typing keywords, such
   as ``return``, ``break``, etc.). See :ghissue:`704`.
 
 * IPython path utils, such as :func:`~IPython.utils.path.get_ipython_dir` now
   check for write permissions, so IPython should function on systems where the
   default path resolution might point to a read-only location, such as
   ``HOMESHARE`` on Windows (:ghissue:`669`).
 
 * :func:`raw_input` now works in the kernel when multiple frontends are in
   use. The request will be sent to the frontend that made the request, and an
   exception is raised if that frontend does not support stdin requests
   (e.g. the notebook) (:ghissue:`673`).
 
 * :mod:`zmq` version detection no longer uses simple lexicographical comparison
   to check minimum version, which prevents 0.11 from working with pyzmq-2.1.10
   (:ghpull:`758`).
 
 * A bug in PySide < 1.0.7 caused crashes on OSX when tooltips were shown
   (:ghissue:`711`). these tooltips are now disabled on old PySide
   (:ghpull:`963`).
 
 * IPython no longer crashes when started on recent versions of Python 3 in
   Windows (:ghissue:`737`).
 
 * Instances of classes defined interactively can now be pickled (:ghissue:`29`;
 :ghpull:`648`). Note that pickling saves a reference to the class definition,
 so unpickling the instances will only work where the class has been defined.
 
 
 Backwards incompatible changes
 ------------------------------
 
 * IPython connection information is no longer specified via ip/port directly,
   rather via json connection files.  These files are stored in the security
   directory, and enable us to turn on HMAC message authentication by default,
   significantly improving the security of kernels.  Various utility functions
   have been added to :mod:`IPython.lib.kernel`, for easier connecting to existing
   kernels.
 
 * :class:`~IPython.zmq.kernelmanager.KernelManager` now has one ip, and several
   port traits, rather than several ip/port pair ``_addr`` traits. This better
   matches the rest of the code, where the ip cannot not be set separately for
   each channel.
 
 * Custom prompts are now configured using a new class,
 :class:`~IPython.core.prompts.PromptManager`, which has traits for
 :attr:`in_template`, :attr:`in2_template` (the ``...:`` continuation prompt),
 :attr:`out_template` and :attr:`rewrite_template`. This uses Python's string
 formatting system, so you can use ``{time}`` and ``{cwd}``, although we have
 preserved the abbreviations from previous versions, e.g. ``\#`` (prompt number)
 and ``\w`` (working directory). For the list of available fields, refer to the
 source of :file:`IPython/core/prompts.py`.
 
 * The class inheritance of the Launchers in
   :mod:`IPython.parallel.apps.launcher` used by ipcluster has changed, so that
   trait names are more consistent across batch systems. This may require a few
   renames in your config files, if you customized the command-line args for
   launching controllers and engines. The configurable names have also been
   changed to be clearer that they point to class names, and can now be
   specified by name only, rather than requiring the full import path of each
   class, e.g.::
 
     IPClusterEngines.engine_launcher = 'IPython.parallel.apps.launcher.MPIExecEngineSetLauncher'
     IPClusterStart.controller_launcher = 'IPython.parallel.apps.launcher.SSHControllerLauncher'
 
   would now be specified as::
 
     IPClusterEngines.engine_launcher_class = 'MPI'
     IPClusterStart.controller_launcher_class = 'SSH'
 
   The full path will still work, and is necessary for using custom launchers
   not in IPython's launcher module.
   
   Further, MPIExec launcher names are now prefixed with just MPI, to better match
   other batch launchers, and be generally more intuitive.  The MPIExec names are
   deprecated, but continue to work.
 
 * For embedding a shell, note that the parameters ``user_global_ns`` and
   ``global_ns`` have been deprectated in favour of ``user_module`` and
   ``module`` respsectively.  The new parameters expect a module-like object,
   rather than a namespace dict.  The old parameters remain for backwards
   compatibility, although ``user_global_ns`` is now ignored. The ``user_ns``
   parameter works the same way as before, and calling
   :func:`~IPython.frontend.terminal.embed.embed` with no arguments still works
   as before.
