 Release 0.10.1
 ==============
 
 IPython 0.10.1 was released October 11, 2010, over a year after version 0.10.
 This is mostly a bugfix release, since after version 0.10 was released, the
 development team's energy has been focused on the 0.11 series.  We have
 nonetheless tried to backport what fixes we could into 0.10.1, as it remains
 the stable series that many users have in production systems they rely on.
 
 Since the 0.11 series changes many APIs in backwards-incompatible ways, we are
 willing to continue maintaining the 0.10.x series.  We don't really have time
 to actively write new code for 0.10.x, but we are happy to accept patches and
 pull requests on the IPython `github site`_.  If sufficient contributions are
 made that improve 0.10.1, we will roll them into future releases.  For this
 purpose, we will have a branch called 0.10.2 on github, on which you can base
 your contributions.

 For this release, we applied approximately 60 commits totaling a diff of over
 7000 lines::

 Highlights of this release:
 
 - The only significant new feature is that IPython's parallel computing
   machinery now supports natively the Sun Grid Engine and LSF schedulers.  This
   work was a joint contribution from Justin Riley, Satra Ghosh and Matthieu
   Brucher, who put a lot of work into it.  We also improved traceback handling
   in remote tasks, as well as providing better control for remote task IDs.

 - Various fixes to the standalone ipython-wx application.
 
 - We now ship internally the excellent argparse library, graciously licensed
   under BSD terms by Steven Bethard.  Now (2010) that argparse has become part
   of Python 2.7 this will be less of an issue, but Steven's relicensing allowed
   us to start updating IPython to using argparse well before Python 2.7.  Many
   thanks!
 
 - Robustness improvements so that IPython doesn't crash if the readline library
   is absent (though obviously a lot of functionality that requires readline
   will not be available).
   
 - Improvements to tab completion in Emacs with Python 2.6.
 
 - Logging now supports timestamps (see ``%logstart?`` for full details).
 
 - A long-standing and quite annoying bug where parentheses would be added to
   ``print`` statements, under Python 2.5 and 2.6, was finally fixed.
 
 - Improved handling of libreadline on Apple OSX.
 
 - Fix ``reload`` method of IPython demos, which was broken.
 
 - Fixes for the ipipe/ibrowse system on OSX.
 
 - Fixes for Zope profile.
 
 - Fix %timeit reporting when the time is longer than 1000s.
 
 - Avoid lockups with ? or ?? in SunOS, due to a bug in termios.
   
 - The usual assortment of miscellaneous bug fixes and small improvements.

 Release 0.10
 ============
 
 This release brings months of slow but steady development, and will be the last
 before a major restructuring and cleanup of IPython's internals that is already
 under way.  For this reason, we hope that 0.10 will be a stable and robust
 release so that while users adapt to some of the API changes that will come
 with the refactoring that will become IPython 0.11, they can safely use 0.10 in
 all existing projects with minimal changes (if any).
 
 IPython 0.10 is now a medium-sized project, with roughly (as reported by David
 Wheeler's :command:`sloccount` utility) 40750 lines of Python code, and a diff
 between 0.9.1 and this release that contains almost 28000 lines of code and
 documentation.  Our documentation, in PDF format, is a 495-page long PDF
 document (also available in HTML format, both generated from the same sources).

 project log with :command:`bzr log`.
 
 New features
 ------------
 
 * New `%paste` magic automatically extracts current contents of clipboard and
   pastes it directly, while correctly handling code that is indented or
   prepended with `>>>` or `...` python prompt markers.  A very useful new
   feature contributed by Robert Kern.
 
 * IPython 'demos', created with the :mod:`IPython.demo` module, can now be
   created from files on disk or strings in memory.  Other fixes and
   improvements to the demo system, by Tom Fetherston.
 
 * Added :func:`find_cmd` function to :mod:`IPython.platutils` module, to find
   commands in a cross-platform manner.
 
 * Many improvements and fixes to Gaël Varoquaux's :command:`ipythonx`, a
   WX-based lightweight IPython instance that can be easily embedded in other WX
   applications.  These improvements have made it possible to now have an
   embedded IPython in Mayavi and other tools.
 
 * :class:`MultiengineClient` objects now have a :meth:`benchmark` method.
 
 * The manual now includes a full set of auto-generated API documents from the
   code sources, using Sphinx and some of our own support code.  We are now
   using the `Numpy Documentation Standard`_  for all docstrings, and we have
   tried to update as many existing ones as possible to this format.
 
 * The new :mod:`IPython.Extensions.ipy_pretty` extension by Robert Kern
   provides configurable pretty-printing.
 
 * Many improvements to the :command:`ipython-wx` standalone WX-based IPython
   application by Laurent Dufréchou.  It can optionally run in a thread, and
   this can be toggled at runtime (allowing the loading of Matplotlib in a
   running session without ill effects).
 
 * IPython includes a copy of Steven Bethard's argparse_ in the
   :mod:`IPython.external` package, so we can use it internally and it is also
   available to any IPython user.  By installing it in this manner, we ensure
   zero conflicts with any system-wide installation you may already have while
   minimizing external dependencies for new users.  In IPython 0.10, We ship
   argparse version 1.0.
 
 * An improved and much more robust test suite, that runs groups of tests in
   separate subprocesses using either Nose or Twisted's :command:`trial` runner
   to ensure proper management of Twisted-using code.  The test suite degrades
   gracefully if optional dependencies are not available, so that the
   :command:`iptest` command can be run with only Nose installed and nothing
   else.  We also have more and cleaner test decorators to better select tests
   depending on runtime conditions, do setup/teardown, etc.
 
 * The new ipcluster now has a fully working ssh mode that should work on
   Linux, Unix and OS X.  Thanks to Vishal Vatsa for implementing this!
 
 * The wonderful TextMate editor can now be used with %edit on OS X.  Thanks
   to Matt Foster for this patch.
 
 * The documentation regarding parallel uses of IPython, including MPI and PBS,
   has been significantly updated and improved.
 
 * The developer guidelines in the documentation have been updated to explain
   our workflow using :command:`bzr` and Launchpad.
   
 * Fully refactored :command:`ipcluster` command line program for starting
   IPython clusters.  This new version is a complete rewrite and 1) is fully
   cross platform (we now use Twisted's process management), 2) has much
   improved performance, 3) uses subcommands for different types of clusters, 4)
   uses argparse for parsing command line options, 5) has better support for
   starting clusters using :command:`mpirun`, 6) has experimental support for
   starting engines using PBS.  It can also reuse FURL files, by appropriately
   passing options to its subcommands.  However, this new version of ipcluster
   should be considered a technology preview.  We plan on changing the API in
   significant ways before it is final.
 
 * Full description of the security model added to the docs.
 
 * cd completer: show bookmarks if no other completions are available.
 
 * sh profile: easy way to give 'title' to prompt: assign to variable
   '_prompt_title'. It looks like this::
       
         [~]|1> _prompt_title = 'sudo!'
         sudo![~]|2>
 
 * %edit: If you do '%edit pasted_block', pasted_block variable gets updated
   with new data (so repeated editing makes sense)

 Bug fixes
 ---------
 
 * Fix #368719, removed top-level debian/ directory to make the job of Debian
   packagers easier.
   
 * Fix #291143 by including man pages contributed by Stephan Peijnik from the
   Debian project.
 
 * Fix #358202, effectively a race condition, by properly synchronizing file
   creation at cluster startup time.
 
 * `%timeit` now handles correctly functions that take a long time to execute
   even the first time, by not repeating them.
 
 * Fix #239054, releasing of references after exiting.
 
 * Fix #341726, thanks to Alexander Clausen.
 
 * Fix #269966.  This long-standing and very difficult bug (which is actually a
   problem in Python itself) meant long-running sessions would inevitably grow
   in memory size, often with catastrophic consequences if users had large
   objects in their scripts.  Now, using `%run` repeatedly should not cause any
   memory leaks.  Special thanks to John Hunter and Sameer D'Costa for their
   help with this bug.
 
 * Fix #295371, bug in `%history`.
 
 * Improved support for py2exe.
 
 * Fix #270856: IPython hangs with PyGTK
 
 * Fix #270998: A magic with no docstring breaks the '%magic magic'
 
 * fix #271684: -c startup commands screw up raw vs. native history
 
 * Numerous bugs on Windows with the new ipcluster have been fixed.
 
 * The ipengine and ipcontroller scripts now handle missing furl files
   more gracefully by giving better error messages.
 
 * %rehashx: Aliases no longer contain dots. python3.0 binary
   will create alias python30. Fixes:
   #259716 "commands with dots in them don't work"
 
 * %cpaste: %cpaste -r repeats the last pasted block.
   The block is assigned to pasted_block even if code
   raises exception.
 
 * Bug #274067 'The code in get_home_dir is broken for py2exe' was
   fixed.
 
 * Many other small bug fixes not listed here by number (see the bzr log for
   more info).
   
 Backwards incompatible changes
 ------------------------------
 
 * `ipykit` and related files were unmaintained and have been removed.
 
 * The :func:`IPython.genutils.doctest_reload` does not actually call
   `reload(doctest)` anymore, as this was causing many problems with the test
   suite.  It still resets `doctest.master` to None.
 
 * While we have not deliberately broken Python 2.4 compatibility, only minor
   testing was done with Python 2.4, while 2.5 and 2.6 were fully tested.  But
   if you encounter problems with 2.4, please do report them as bugs.
 
 * The :command:`ipcluster` now requires a mode argument; for example to start a
   cluster on the local machine with 4 engines, you must now type::
 
     $ ipcluster local -n 4
 
 * The controller now has a ``-r`` flag that needs to be used if you want to
   reuse existing furl files.  Otherwise they are deleted (the default).
 
 * Remove ipy_leo.py. You can use :command:`easy_install ipython-extension` to
   get it.  (done to decouple it from ipython release cycle)
 
 
 Release 0.9.1
 =============
 
 This release was quickly made to restore compatibility with Python 2.4, which
 version 0.9 accidentally broke.  No new features were introduced, other than
 some additional testing support for internal use.
 
 
 Release 0.9
 ===========
 
 New features
 ------------
 
 * All furl files and security certificates are now put in a read-only
   directory named ~./ipython/security.
 
 * A single function :func:`get_ipython_dir`, in :mod:`IPython.genutils` that
   determines the user's IPython directory in a robust manner.
 
 * Laurent's WX application has been given a top-level script called
   ipython-wx, and it has received numerous fixes. We expect this code to be
   architecturally better integrated with Gael's WX 'ipython widget' over the
   next few releases.
 
 * The Editor synchronization work by Vivian De Smedt has been merged in.  This
   code adds a number of new editor hooks to synchronize with editors under
   Windows.
 
 * A new, still experimental but highly functional, WX shell by Gael Varoquaux.
   This work was sponsored by Enthought, and while it's still very new, it is
   based on a more cleanly organized arhictecture of the various IPython
   components. We will continue to develop this over the next few releases as a
   model for GUI components that use IPython.
 
 * Another GUI frontend, Cocoa based (Cocoa is the OSX native GUI framework),
   authored by Barry Wark.  Currently the WX and the Cocoa ones have slightly
   different internal organizations, but the whole team is working on finding
   what the right abstraction points are for a unified codebase.
 
 * As part of the frontend work, Barry Wark also implemented an experimental
   event notification system that various ipython components can use.  In the
   next release the implications and use patterns of this system regarding the
   various GUI options will be worked out.
 
 * IPython finally has a full test system, that can test docstrings with
   IPython-specific functionality.  There are still a few pieces missing for it
   to be widely accessible to all users (so they can run the test suite at any
   time and report problems), but it now works for the developers.  We are
   working hard on continuing to improve it, as this was probably IPython's
   major Achilles heel (the lack of proper test coverage made it effectively
   impossible to do large-scale refactoring).  The full test suite can now
   be run using the :command:`iptest` command line program.
 
 * The notion of a task has been completely reworked.  An `ITask` interface has
   been created.  This interface defines the methods that tasks need to
   implement.  These methods are now responsible for things like submitting
   tasks and processing results.  There are two basic task types:
   :class:`IPython.kernel.task.StringTask` (this is the old `Task` object, but
   renamed) and the new :class:`IPython.kernel.task.MapTask`, which is based on
   a function.
 
 * A new interface, :class:`IPython.kernel.mapper.IMapper` has been defined to
   standardize the idea of a `map` method.  This interface has a single `map`
   method that has the same syntax as the built-in `map`.  We have also defined
   a `mapper` factory interface that creates objects that implement
   :class:`IPython.kernel.mapper.IMapper` for different controllers.  Both the
   multiengine and task controller now have mapping capabilties.
 
 * The parallel function capabilities have been reworks.  The major changes are
   that i) there is now an `@parallel` magic that creates parallel functions,
   ii) the syntax for mulitple variable follows that of `map`, iii) both the
   multiengine and task controller now have a parallel function implementation.
 
 * 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
 
 * String lists now support ``sort(field, nums = True)`` method (to easily sort
   system command output). Try it with ``a = !ls -l ; a.sort(1, nums=1)``.
 
 * '%cpaste foo' now assigns the pasted block as string list, instead of string
 
 * The ipcluster script now run by default with no security.  This is done
   because the main usage of the script is for starting things on localhost.
   Eventually when ipcluster is able to start things on other hosts, we will put
   security back.
 
 * 'cd --foo' searches directory history for string foo, and jumps to that dir.
   Last part of dir name is checked first. If no matches for that are found,
   look at the whole path.
 
   
 Bug fixes
 ---------
 
 * The Windows installer has been fixed.  Now all IPython scripts have ``.bat``
   versions created.  Also, the Start Menu shortcuts have been updated.
 
 * The colors escapes in the multiengine client are now turned off on win32 as
   they don't print correctly.
 
 * The :mod:`IPython.kernel.scripts.ipengine` script was exec'ing
   mpi_import_statement incorrectly, which was leading the engine to crash when
   mpi was enabled.
 
 * A few subpackages had missing ``__init__.py`` files.
 
 * The documentation is only created if Sphinx is found.  Previously, the
   ``setup.py`` script would fail if it was missing.
 
 * Greedy ``cd`` completion has been disabled again (it was enabled in 0.8.4) as
   it caused problems on certain platforms.
           
 
 Backwards incompatible changes
 ------------------------------
 
 * The ``clusterfile`` options of the :command:`ipcluster` command has been
   removed as it was not working and it will be replaced soon by something much
   more robust.
 
 * The :mod:`IPython.kernel` configuration now properly find the user's
   IPython directory.
 
 * In ipapi, the :func:`make_user_ns` function has been replaced with
   :func:`make_user_namespaces`, to support dict subclasses in namespace
   creation.
 
 * :class:`IPython.kernel.client.Task` has been renamed
   :class:`IPython.kernel.client.StringTask` to make way for new task types.
 
 * The keyword argument `style` has been renamed `dist` in `scatter`, `gather`
   and `map`.
 
 * Renamed the values that the rename `dist` keyword argument can have from
   `'basic'` to `'b'`.
 
 * 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
 =============
 
 This was a quick release to fix an unfortunate bug that slipped into the 0.8.3
 release.  The ``--twisted`` option was disabled, as it turned out to be broken
 across several platforms.
 
 
 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.
 
   
 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.
