10 Back to a more regular release schedule (at least I try), as Friday is
11 already over by more than 24h hours. This is a slightly bigger release with a
12 few new features that contain no less then 25 PRs.
13
14 We'll notably found a couple of non negligible changes:
15
16 The ``install_ext`` and related functions have been removed after being
17 deprecated for years. You can use pip to install extensions. ``pip`` did not
18 exists when ``install_ext`` was introduced. You can still load local extensions
19 without installing them. Just set your ``sys.path`` for example. :ghpull:`13744`
20
21 IPython now have extra entry points that that the major *and minor* version of
22 python. For some of you this mean that you can do a quick ``ipython3.10`` to
23 launch IPython from the Python 3.10 interpreter, while still using Python 3.11
24 as your main Python. :ghpull:`13743`
25
26 The completer matcher API have been improved. See :ghpull:`13745`. This should
27 improve the type inference and improve dict keys completions in many use case.
28 Tanks ``@krassowski`` for all the works, and the D.E. Shaw group for sponsoring
29 it.
30
31 The color of error nodes in tracebacks can now be customized. See
32 :ghpull:`13756`. This is a private attribute until someone find the time to
33 properly add a configuration option. Note that with Python 3.11 that also show
34 the relevant nodes in traceback, it would be good to leverage this informations
35 (plus the "did you mean" info added on attribute errors). But that's likely work
36 I won't have time to do before long, so contributions welcome.
37
38 As we follow NEP 29, we removed support for numpy 1.19 :ghpull:`13760`.
39
40
41 The ``open()`` function present in the user namespace by default will now refuse
42 to open the file descriptors 0,1,2 (stdin, out, err), to avoid crashing IPython.
43 This mostly occurs in teaching context when incorrect values get passed around.
44
45
46 The ``?``, ``??``, and corresponding ``pinfo``, ``pinfo2`` magics can now find
47 objects insides arrays. That is to say, the following now works::
48
49
50 >>> def my_func(*arg, **kwargs):pass
51 >>> container = [my_func]
52 >>> container[0]?
53
54
55 If ``container`` define a custom ``getitem``, this __will__ trigger the custom
56 method. So don't put side effects in your ``getitems``. Thanks the D.E. Shaw
57 group for the request and sponsoring the work.
