27 Prompt Rendering Performance improvements
28 =========================================
29
30 Pull Request :ghpull:`11933` introduced an optimisation in the prompt rendering
31 logic that should decrease the resource usage of IPython when using the
32 _default_ configuration but could potentially introduce a regression of
33 functionalities if you are using a custom prompt.
34
35 We know assume if you haven't changed the default keybindings that the prompt
36 **will not change** during the duration of your input – which is for example
37 not true when using vi insert mode that switches between `[ins]` and `[nor]`
38 for the current mode.
39
40 If you are experiencing any issue let us know.
41
42 Code autoformatting
43 ===================
44
45 The IPython terminal can now auto format your code just before entering a new
46 line or executing a command. To do so use the
47 ``--TerminalInteractiveShell.autoformatter`` option and set it to ``'black'``;
48 if black is installed IPython will use black to format your code when possible.
49
50 IPython cannot always properly format your code; in particular it will
51 auto formatting with *black* will only work if:
52
53 - Your code does not contains magics or special python syntax.
54
55 - There is no code after your cursor.
56
57 The Black API is also still in motion; so this may not work with all versions of
58 black.
59
60 It should be possible to register custom reformatter, though the API is till in
61 flux.
62
63 Arbitrary Mimetypes Handing in Terminal
64 =======================================
65
66 When using IPython terminal it is now possible to register function to handle
67 arbitrary mimetypes. While rendering non-text based representation was possible in
68 many jupyter frontend; it was not possible in terminal IPython, as usually
69 terminal are limited to displaying text. As many terminal these days provide
70 escape sequences to display non-text; bringing this loved feature to IPython CLI
71 made a lot of sens. This functionality will not only allow inline images; but
72 allow opening of external program; for example ``mplayer`` to "display" sound
73 files.
74
75 So far only the hooks necessary for this are in place, but no default mime
76 renderers added; so inline images will only be available via extensions. We will
77 progressively enable these features by default in the next few releases, and
78 contribution is welcomed.
79
80 We welcome any feedback on the API. See :ref:`shell_mimerenderer` for more
81 informations.
82
83 This is originally based on work form in :ghpull:`10610` from stephanh42
84 started over two years ago, and still a lot need to be done.

5 IPython 7.10.0
6 ==============
7
8 IPython 7.10 is the first double digit minor release in the last decade, and
9 first since the release of IPython 1.0, previous double digit minor release was
10 in August 2009.
11
12 We've been trying to give you regular release on the last Friday of every month
13 for a guaranty of rapid access to bug fixes and new features.
14
15 Unlike the previous first few releases that have seen only a couple of code
16 changes, 7.10 bring a number of changes, new features and bugfixes.

18 Stop Support for Python 3.5 – Adopt NEP 29
19 ------------------------------------------
20
21 IPython has decided to follow the informational `NEP 29
22 <https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html>`_ which layout a clear
23 policy as to which version of (C)Python and NumPy are supported.
24
25 We thus dropped support for Python 3.5, and cleaned up a number of code path
26 that were Python-version dependant. If you are on 3.5 or earlier pip should
27 automatically give you the latest compatible version of IPython so you do not
28 need to pin to a given version.
