8 | 15 | As of the 0.11 version of IPython, a signifiant portion of the core has been |
|

30 | ZMQ architecture | |
|
31 | ---------------- | |
|
32 | ||
|
33 | There is a new GUI framework for IPython, based on a client-server model in | |
|
34 | which multiple clients can communicate with one IPython kernel, using the | |
|
35 | ZeroMQ messaging framework. There is already a Qt console client, which can | |
|
36 | be started by calling ``ipython-qtconsole``. The protocol is :ref:`documented | |
|
37 | <messaging>`. | |
|
38 | ||
|
39 | The parallel computing framework has also been rewritten using ZMQ. The | |
|
40 | protocol is described :ref:`here <parallel_messages>`, and the code is in the | |
|
41 | new :mod:`IPython.parallel` module. | |

139 | Bug fixes | |
|
140 | --------- | |
|
141 | ||
|
142 | * Previously, the latex Sphinx docs were in a single chapter. This has been | |
|
143 | fixed by adding a sixth argument of True to the ``latex_documents`` | |
|
144 | attribute of :file:`conf.py`. | |
|
145 | ||
|
146 | * The ``psum`` example in the MPI documentation has been updated to mpi4py | |
