8 IPython 0.10.2 was released April 9, 2011. This is a minor bugfix release that
9 preserves backward compatibility. At this point, all IPython development
10 resources are focused on the 0.11 series that includes a complete architectural
11 restructuring of the project as well as many new capabilities, so this is
12 likely to be the last release of the 0.10.x series. We have tried to fix all
13 major bugs in this series so that it remains a viable platform for those not
14 ready yet to transition to the 0.11 and newer codebase (since that will require
15 some porting effort, as a number of APIs have changed).
16
17 Thus, we are not opening a 0.10.3 active development branch yet, but if the
18 user community requires new patches and is willing to maintain/release such a
19 branch, we'll be happy to host it on the IPython github repositories.

21 Highlights of this release:
22
23 - The main one is the closing of github ticket #185, a major regression we had
24 in 0.10.1 where pylab mode with GTK (or gthread) was not working correctly,
25 hence plots were blocking with GTK. Since this is the default matplotlib
26 backend on Unix systems, this was a major annoyance for many users. Many
27 thanks to Paul Ivanov for helping resolve this issue.
28
29 - Fix IOError bug on Windows when used with -gthread.
30 - Work robustly if $HOME is missing from environment.
31 - Better POSIX support in ssh scripts (remove bash-specific idioms).
32 - Improved support for non-ascii characters in log files.
33 - Work correctly in environments where GTK can be imported but not started
34 (such as a linux text console without X11).
