 =============
  0.11 Series
 =============
 
 Release 0.11
 ============
 
 IPython 0.11 is a *major* overhaul of IPython, two years in the making.  Most
 of the code base has been rewritten or at least reorganized, breaking backward
 compatibility with several APIs in previous versions.  It is the first major
 release in two years, and probably the most significant change to IPython since
 its inception.  We plan to have a relatively quick succession of releases, as
 people discover new bugs and regressions.  Once we iron out any significant
 bugs in this process and settle down the new APIs, this series will become
 IPython 1.0.  We encourage feedback now on the core APIs, which we hope to
 maintain stable during the 1.0 series.

 A quick summary of the major changes (see below for details):
 
 * **Standalone Qt console**: a new rich console has been added to IPython,
   started with `ipython qtconsole`.  In this application we have tried to
   retain the feel of a terminal for fast and efficient workflows, while adding
   many features that a plain text terminal simply can not support, such as
   inline figures, full multiline editing with syntax highlighting, tooltips for
-  function calls and much more.
+  function calls and much more.  This development was sponsored by `Enthought
+  Inc.`__. See :ref:`below <qtconsole_011>` for details.
+
+.. __: http://enthought.com
 
 * **High-level parallel computing with ZeroMQ**. Using the same architecture
   that our Qt console is based on, we have completely rewritten our high-level
   parallel computing machinery that in prior versions used the Twisted
   networking framework.  While this change will require users to update their
   codes, the improvements in performance, memory control and internal
   consistency across our codebase convinced us it was a price worth paying.  We
   have tried to explain how to best proceed with this update, and will be happy
-  to answer questions that may arise.
+  to answer questions that may arise.  A full tutorial describing these
+  features `was presented at SciPy'11`__.
+
+.. __: http://minrk.github.com/scipy-tutorial-2011
 
 * **New model for GUI/plotting support in the terminal**.  Now instead of the
   various `-Xthread` flags we had before, GUI support is provided without the
   use of any threads, by directly integrating GUI event loops with Python's
   `PyOS_InputHook` API.  A new command-line flag `--gui` controls GUI support,
   and it can also be enabled after IPython startup via the new `%gui` magic.
+  This requires some changes if you want to execute GUI-using scripts inside
+  IPython, see :ref:`below <gui_support>` for more details.
+
+* **Integration into Microsoft Visual Studio**. Thanks to the work of the
+    Microsoft `Python Tools for Visual Studio`__ team, this version of IPython
+    has been integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio's Python tools open source
+    plug-in.  They currently have a relesae candidate out using IPython 0.11,
+    and we will continue to collaborate with them to ensure that as they
+    approach full release time, the integration with IPython is as smooth as
+    possible.
+
+.. __: http://pytools.codeplex.com/
 
 * **A two-process architecture.** The Qt console is the first example of using
   a new model that splits IPython between a kernel process where code is
   executed and a client that handles user interaction.  We plan on also
   providing terminal and web-browser based clients using this infrastructure in
   future releases.  This model allows multiple clients to interact with an
   IPython process through a well-documented protocol using the ZeroMQ
   networking library.
 
 * **Refactoring.** the entire codebase has been refactored, in order to make it
   more modular and easier to contribute to.  IPython has traditionally been a
   hard project to participate because the old codebase was very monolithic.  We
   hope this (ongoing) restructuring will make it easier for new developers to
   join us.
 
 * **Improved unicode support**. We closed many bugs related to unicode input.
 
-* **Python 3**. IPython now runs on Python 3.x.
+* **Python 3**. IPython now runs on Python 3.x. See :ref:`python3_011` for
+    details.
 
 * **New profile model**. Profiles are now directories that contain all relevant
    infromation for that session, and thus better isolate IPython use-cases.
 
 * **SQLite storage for history**. All history is now stored in a SQLite
    database, providing support for multiple simultaneous sessions that won't
    clobber each other as well as the ability to perform queries on all stored
    data.
 
 * **New configuration system**. All parts of IPython are now configured via a
    mechanism inspired by the Enthought Traits library.  Any configurable
    element can have its attributes set either via files that now use real
    Python syntax or from the command-line.

 Refactoring
 -----------
 
 As of the 0.11 version of IPython, a signifiant portion of the core has been
 refactored.  This refactoring is founded on a number of new abstractions.
 The main new classes that implement these abstractions are:
 
 * :class:`IPython.utils.traitlets.HasTraits`.
 * :class:`IPython.config.configurable.Configurable`.
 * :class:`IPython.config.application.Application`.
 * :class:`IPython.config.loader.ConfigLoader`.
 * :class:`IPython.config.loader.Config`
 
 We are still in the process of writing developer focused documentation about
 these classes, but for now our :ref:`configuration documentation
 <config_overview>` contains a high level overview of the concepts that these
 classes express.
 
 The biggest user-visible change is likely the move to using the config system to
 determine the command-line arguments for IPython applications. The benefit of
 this is that *all* configurable values in IPython are exposed on the
 command-line, but the syntax for specifying values has changed. The gist is that
 assigning values is pure Python assignment, so there is always an '=', and never
 a leading '-', nor a space separating key from value. Flags exist, to set
 multiple values or boolean flags, and these are always prefixed with '--', and
 never take arguments.
 
 ZMQ architecture
 ----------------
 
 There is a new GUI framework for IPython, based on a client-server model in
 which multiple clients can communicate with one IPython kernel, using the
 ZeroMQ messaging framework. There is already a Qt console client, which can
 be started by calling ``ipython qtconsole``. The protocol is :ref:`documented
 <messaging>`.
 
 The parallel computing framework has also been rewritten using ZMQ. The
 protocol is described :ref:`here <parallel_messages>`, and the code is in the
 new :mod:`IPython.parallel` module.
 
+.. _python3_011:
+
 Python 3 support
 ----------------
 
 A Python 3 version of IPython has been prepared. For the time being, this is
 maintained separately and updated from the main codebase. Its code can be found
 `here <https://github.com/ipython/ipython-py3k>`_. The parallel computing
 components are not perfect on Python3, but most functionality appears to be
-working.
+working.  As this work is evolving quickly, the best place to find updated
+information about it is our `Python 3 wiki page`__.

+
 
 Unicode
 -------
 
 Entering non-ascii characters in unicode literals (``u"€ø"``) now works
 properly on all platforms. However, entering these in byte/string literals
 (``"€ø"``) will not work as expected on Windows (or any platform where the
 terminal encoding is not UTF-8, as it typically is for Linux & Mac OS X). You
 can use escape sequences (``"\xe9\x82"``) to get bytes above 128, or use
 unicode literals and encode them. This is a limitation of Python 2 which we
 cannot easily work around.
 
 Additional new features
 -----------------------
 
 * Added ``Bytes`` traitlet, removing ``Str``.  All 'string' traitlets should
   either be ``Unicode`` if a real string, or ``Bytes`` if a C-string. This
   removes ambiguity and helps the Python 3 transition.
 
 * New magic ``%loadpy`` loads a python file from disk or web URL into
   the current input buffer.
 
 * New magic ``%pastebin`` for sharing code via the 'Lodge it' pastebin.
 
 * New magic ``%precision`` for controlling float and numpy pretty printing.
 
 * IPython applications initiate logging, so any object can gain access to
   a the logger of the currently running Application with:
 
 .. sourcecode:: python
 
     from IPython.config.application import Application
     logger = Application.instance().log
 
 * You can now get help on an object halfway through typing a command. For
   instance, typing ``a = zip?`` shows the details of :func:`zip`. It also
   leaves the command at the next prompt so you can carry on with it.
 
 * The input history is now written to an SQLite database. The API for
   retrieving items from the history has also been redesigned.
 
 * The :mod:`IPython.extensions.pretty` extension has been moved out of
   quarantine and fully updated to the new extension API.
 
 * New magics for loading/unloading/reloading extensions have been added:
   ``%load_ext``, ``%unload_ext`` and ``%reload_ext``.
 
 * The configuration system and configuration files are brand new. See the
   configuration system :ref:`documentation <config_index>` for more details.
 
 * The :class:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell` class is now a
   :class:`~IPython.config.configurable.Configurable` subclass and has traitlets
   that determine the defaults and runtime environment. The ``__init__`` method
   has also been refactored so this class can be instantiated and run without
   the old :mod:`ipmaker` module.
 
 * The methods of :class:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell` have
   been organized into sections to make it easier to turn more sections
   of functionality into components.
 
 * The embedded shell has been refactored into a truly standalone subclass of
   :class:`InteractiveShell` called :class:`InteractiveShellEmbed`.  All
   embedding logic has been taken out of the base class and put into the 
   embedded subclass.
 
 * Added methods of :class:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell` to
   help it cleanup after itself. The :meth:`cleanup` method controls this. We
   couldn't do this in :meth:`__del__` because we have cycles in our object
   graph that prevent it from being called.
 
 * Created a new module :mod:`IPython.utils.importstring` for resolving
   strings like ``foo.bar.Bar`` to the actual class.
 
 * Completely refactored the :mod:`IPython.core.prefilter` module into
   :class:`~IPython.config.configurable.Configurable` subclasses. Added a new
   layer into the prefilter system, called "transformations" that all new
   prefilter logic should use (rather than the older "checker/handler"
   approach).
 
 * Aliases are now components (:mod:`IPython.core.alias`).
 
 * New top level :func:`~IPython.frontend.terminal.embed.embed` function that can
   be called to embed IPython at any place in user's code. On the first call it
   will create an :class:`~IPython.frontend.terminal.embed.InteractiveShellEmbed`
   instance and call it. In later calls, it just calls the previously created
   :class:`~IPython.frontend.terminal.embed.InteractiveShellEmbed`.
 
 * Created a configuration system (:mod:`IPython.config.configurable`) that is
   based on :mod:`IPython.utils.traitlets`. Configurables are arranged into a
   runtime containment tree (not inheritance) that i) automatically propagates
   configuration information and ii) allows singletons to discover each other in
   a loosely coupled manner. In the future all parts of IPython will be
   subclasses of :class:`~IPython.config.configurable.Configurable`. All IPython
   developers should become familiar with the config system.
 
 * Created a new :class:`~IPython.config.loader.Config` for holding
   configuration information. This is a dict like class with a few extras: i)
   it supports attribute style access, ii) it has a merge function that merges
   two :class:`~IPython.config.loader.Config` instances recursively and iii) it
   will automatically create sub-:class:`~IPython.config.loader.Config`
   instances for attributes that start with an uppercase character.
 
 * Created new configuration loaders in :mod:`IPython.config.loader`. These
   loaders provide a unified loading interface for all configuration
   information including command line arguments and configuration files. We
   have two default implementations based on :mod:`argparse` and plain python
   files.  These are used to implement the new configuration system.
 
 * Created a top-level :class:`Application` class in
   :mod:`IPython.core.application` that is designed to encapsulate the starting
   of any basic Python program. An application loads and merges all the
   configuration objects, constructs the main application, configures and
   initiates logging, and creates and configures any :class:`Configurable`
   instances and then starts the application running. An extended
   :class:`BaseIPythonApplication` class adds logic for handling the
   IPython directory as well as profiles, and all IPython entry points
   extend it.
 
 * The :class:`Type` and :class:`Instance` traitlets now handle classes given
   as strings, like ``foo.bar.Bar``. This is needed for forward declarations.
   But, this was implemented in a careful way so that string to class
   resolution is done at a single point, when the parent
   :class:`~IPython.utils.traitlets.HasTraitlets` is instantiated.
 
 * :mod:`IPython.utils.ipstruct` has been refactored to be a subclass of 
   dict.  It also now has full docstrings and doctests.
 
 * Created a Traits like implementation in :mod:`IPython.utils.traitlets`.  This
   is a pure Python, lightweight version of a library that is similar to
   Enthought's Traits project, but has no dependencies on Enthought's code.  We
   are using this for validation, defaults and notification in our new component
   system.  Although it is not 100% API compatible with Enthought's Traits, we
   plan on moving in this direction so that eventually our implementation could
   be replaced by a (yet to exist) pure Python version of Enthought Traits.
 
 * Added a new module :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook` to manage the integration
   with GUI event loops using `PyOS_InputHook`.  See the docstrings in this
   module or the main IPython docs for details.
 
 * For users, GUI event loop integration is now handled through the new
   :command:`%gui` magic command.  Type ``%gui?`` at an IPython prompt for
   documentation.
 
 * For developers :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook` provides a simple interface
   for managing the event loops in their interactive GUI applications.
   Examples can be found in our :file:`docs/examples/lib` directory.
 
 Backwards incompatible changes
 ------------------------------
 
 * The Twisted-based :mod:`IPython.kernel` has been removed, and completely
   rewritten as :mod:`IPython.parallel`, using ZeroMQ.
 
 * Profiles are now directories. Instead of a profile being a single config file,
   profiles are now self-contained directories. By default, profiles get their
   own IPython history, log files, and everything. To create a new profile, do
   ``ipython profile create <name>``.
 
 * All IPython applications have been rewritten to use
   :class:`~IPython.config.loader.KeyValueConfigLoader`. This means that
   command-line options have changed. Now, all configurable values are accessible
   from the command-line with the same syntax as in a configuration file.
 
 * The command line options ``-wthread``, ``-qthread`` and
   ``-gthread`` have been removed. Use ``--gui=wx``, ``--gui=qt``, ``--gui=gtk``
   instead.
 
 * The extension loading functions have been renamed to
   :func:`load_ipython_extension` and :func:`unload_ipython_extension`.
 
 * :class:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell` no longer takes an
   ``embedded`` argument. Instead just use the
   :class:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShellEmbed` class.
 
 * ``__IPYTHON__`` is no longer injected into ``__builtin__``.
 
 * :meth:`Struct.__init__` no longer takes `None` as its first argument.  It
   must be a :class:`dict` or :class:`Struct`.
 
 * :meth:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.ipmagic` has been
   renamed :meth:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.magic.`
 
 * The functions :func:`ipmagic` and :func:`ipalias` have been removed from
   :mod:`__builtins__`.
 
 * The references to the global
   :class:`~IPython.core.interactivehell.InteractiveShell` instance (``_ip``, and
   ``__IP``) have been removed from the user's namespace. They are replaced by a
   new function called :func:`get_ipython` that returns the current
   :class:`~IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell` instance. This
   function is injected into the user's namespace and is now the main way of
   accessing the running IPython.
 
 * Old style configuration files :file:`ipythonrc` and :file:`ipy_user_conf.py`
   are no longer supported. Users should migrate there configuration files to
   the new format described :ref:`here <config_overview>` and :ref:`here
   <configuring_ipython>`.
 
 * The old IPython extension API that relied on :func:`ipapi` has been
   completely removed. The new extension API is described :ref:`here
   <configuring_ipython>`.
 
 * Support for ``qt3`` has been dropped.  Users who need this should use
   previous versions of IPython.
 
 * Removed :mod:`shellglobals` as it was obsolete.
 
 * Removed all the threaded shells in :mod:`IPython.core.shell`. These are no
   longer needed because of the new capabilities in
   :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook`.
 
 * New top-level sub-packages have been created: :mod:`IPython.core`, 
   :mod:`IPython.lib`, :mod:`IPython.utils`, :mod:`IPython.deathrow`,
   :mod:`IPython.quarantine`.  All existing top-level modules have been
   moved to appropriate sub-packages.  All internal import statements
   have been updated and tests have been added.  The build system (setup.py
   and friends) have been updated.  See :ref:`this section <module_reorg>` of the
   documentation for descriptions of these new sub-packages.
 
 * :mod:`IPython.ipapi` has been moved to :mod:`IPython.core.ipapi`.
   :mod:`IPython.Shell` and :mod:`IPython.iplib` have been split and removed as
   part of the refactor.
 
 * :mod:`Extensions` has been moved to :mod:`extensions` and all existing
   extensions have been moved to either :mod:`IPython.quarantine` or
   :mod:`IPython.deathrow`. :mod:`IPython.quarantine` contains modules that we
   plan on keeping but that need to be updated. :mod:`IPython.deathrow` contains
   modules that are either dead or that should be maintained as third party
   libraries. More details about this can be found :ref:`here <module_reorg>`.
 
 * Previous IPython GUIs in :mod:`IPython.frontend` and :mod:`IPython.gui` are
   likely broken, and have been removed to :mod:`IPython.deathrow` because of the
   refactoring in the core. With proper updates, these should still work.
 
 
 Known Regressions
 -----------------
 
 We do our best to improve IPython, but there are some known regressions in 0.11
 relative to 0.10.2.  First of all, there are features that have yet to be
 ported to the new APIs, and in order to ensure that all of the installed code
 runs for our users, we have moved them to two separate directories in the
 source distribution, `quarantine` and `deathrow`.  Finally, we have some other
 miscellaneous regressions that we hope to fix as soon as possible.  We now
 describe all of these in more detail.
 
 Quarantine
 ~~~~~~~~~~
 
 These are tools and extensions that we consider relatively easy to update to
 the new classes and APIs, but that we simply haven't had time for.  Any user
 who is interested in one of these is encouraged to help us by porting it and
 submitting a pull request on our `development site`_.
 
 .. _development site:: http://github.com/ipython/ipython
 
 Currently, the quarantine directory contains::
 
     clearcmd.py            ipy_fsops.py            ipy_signals.py
     envpersist.py          ipy_gnuglobal.py        ipy_synchronize_with.py

     ipy_extutil.py         ipy_server.py           win32clip.py
 
 Deathrow
 ~~~~~~~~
 
 These packages may be harder to update or make most sense as third-party
 libraries.  Some of them are completely obsolete and have been already replaced
 by better functionality (we simply haven't had the time to carefully weed them
 out so they are kept here for now). Others simply require fixes to code that
 the current core team may not be familiar with.  If a tool you were used to is
 included here, we encourage you to contact the dev list and we can discuss
 whether it makes sense to keep it in IPython (if it can be maintained).
 
 Currently, the deathrow directory contains::
 
     astyle.py              ipy_defaults.py          ipy_vimserver.py
     dtutils.py             ipy_kitcfg.py            numeric_formats.py

     ipy_constants.py       ipy_traits_completer.py  twshell.py
 
 
 Other
 ~~~~~
 
 * The machinery that adds functionality to the 'sh' profile for using IPython
   as your system shell has not been updated to use the new APIs.  As a result,
   only the aesthetic (prompt) changes are still implemented. We intend to fix
   this by 0.12.
 
 * The installation of scripts on Windows was broken without setuptools, so we
   now depend on setuptools on Windows.  We hope to fix setuptools-less
   installation, and then remove the setuptools dependency.
 
 
 Removed Features
 ----------------
 
 As part of the updating of IPython, we have removed a few features for the
 purpsoes of cleaning up the codebase and interfaces.  These removals are
 permanent, but for any item listed below, equivalent functionality is
 available.
 
 * The magics Exit and Quit have been dropped as ways to exit IPython. Instead,
   the lowercase forms of both work either as a bare name (``exit``) or a
   function call (``exit()``).  You can assign these to other names using
   exec_lines in the config file.
