|
61 | 61 | ============= |
|
62 | 62 | |
|
63 | 63 | April, 2014 |
|
64 | 64 | |
|
65 | 65 | IPython 2.0 requires Python β₯ 2.7.2 or β₯ 3.3.0. |
|
66 | 66 | It does not support Python 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 2.5, or 2.6. |
|
67 | 67 | |
|
68 | 68 | The principal milestones of 2.0 are: |
|
69 | 69 | |
|
70 | 70 | - interactive widgets for the notebook |
|
71 | 71 | - directory navigation in the notebook dashboard |
|
72 | 72 | - persistent URLs for notebooks |
|
73 | 73 | - a new modal user interface in the notebook |
|
74 | 74 | - a security model for notebooks |
|
75 | 75 | |
|
76 | 76 | Contribution summary since IPython 1.0 in August, 2013: |
|
77 | 77 | |

|
84 | 84 | The amount of work included in this release is so large that we can only cover |
|
85 | 85 | here the main highlights; please see our :ref:`detailed release statistics |

89 | 89 | New stuff in the IPython notebook |
|
90 | 90 | --------------------------------- |
|
91 | 91 | |
|
92 | 92 | Directory navigation |
|
93 | 93 | ******************** |

|
98 | 98 | :align: center |
|
99 | 99 | |
|
100 | 100 | The IPython notebook dashboard allows navigation into subdirectories. |
|
101 | 101 | URLs are persistent based on the notebook's path and name, |
|
102 | 102 | so no more random UUID URLs. |
|
103 | 103 | |
|
104 | 104 | Serving local files no longer needs the ``files/`` prefix. |
|
105 | 105 | Relative links across notebooks and other files should work just as if notebooks were regular HTML files. |
|
106 | 106 | |
|
107 | 107 | Interactive widgets |
|
108 | 108 | ******************* |

|
115 | 115 | IPython 2.0 adds :mod:`IPython.html.widgets`, for manipulating |
|
116 | 116 | Python objects in the kernel with GUI controls in the notebook. |
|
117 | 117 | IPython comes with a few built-in widgets for simple data types, |
|
118 | 118 | and an API designed for developers to build more complex widgets. |

124 | 124 | Modal user interface |
|
125 | 125 | ******************** |
|
126 | 126 | |
|
127 | 127 | The notebook has added separate Edit and Command modes, |
|
128 | 128 | allowing easier keyboard commands and making keyboard shortcut customization possible. |
|
129 | 129 | See the new `User Interface notebook`_ for more information. |

144 | 144 | Security |
|
145 | 145 | ******** |
|
146 | 146 | |
|
147 | 147 | 2.0 introduces a :ref:`security model <notebook_security>` for notebooks, |
|
148 | 148 | to prevent untrusted code from executing on users' behalf when notebooks open. |
|
149 | 149 | A quick summary of the model: |
|
150 | 150 | |
|
151 | 151 | - Trust is determined by :ref:`signing notebooks<signing_notebooks>`. |
|
152 | 152 | - Untrusted HTML output is sanitized. |
|
153 | 153 | - Untrusted Javascript is never executed. |
|
154 | 154 | - HTML and Javascript in Markdown are never trusted. |
|
155 | 155 | |
|
156 | 156 | Dashboard "Running" tab |
|
157 | 157 | *********************** |

|
162 | 162 | :align: center |
|
163 | 163 | |
|
164 | 164 | The dashboard now has a "Running" tab which shows all of the running notebooks. |
|
165 | 165 | |
|
166 | 166 | Single codebase Python 3 support |
|
167 | 167 | -------------------------------- |
|
168 | 168 | |
|
169 | 169 | IPython previously supported Python 3 by running 2to3 during setup. We |
|
170 | 170 | have now switched to a single codebase which runs natively on Python 2.7 |
|
171 | 171 | and 3.3. |
|
172 | 172 | |
|
173 | 173 | For notes on how to maintain this, see :doc:`/development/pycompat`. |
|
174 | 174 | |
|
175 | 175 | Selecting matplotlib figure formats |
|
176 | 176 | ----------------------------------- |
|
177 | 177 | |
|
178 | 178 | Deprecate single-format ``InlineBackend.figure_format`` |
|
179 | 179 | configurable in favor of ``InlineBackend.figure_formats``, |
|
180 | 180 | which is a set, supporting multiple simultaneous figure formats (e.g. png, pdf). |
|
181 | 181 | |
|
182 | 182 | This is available at runtime with the new API function :func:`IPython.display.set_matplotlib_formats`. |
|
183 | 183 | |
|
184 | 184 | clear_output changes |
|
185 | 185 | -------------------- |
|
186 | 186 | |
|
187 | 187 | * There is no longer a 500ms delay when calling ``clear_output``. |
|
188 | 188 | * The ability to clear stderr and stdout individually was removed. |
|
189 | 189 | * A new ``wait`` flag that prevents ``clear_output`` from being executed until new |
|
190 | 190 | output is available. This eliminates animation flickering by allowing the |
|
191 | 191 | user to double buffer the output. |
|
192 | 192 | * The output div height is remembered when the ``wait=True`` flag is used. |
|
193 | 193 | |
|
194 | 194 | Extending configurable containers |
|
195 | 195 | --------------------------------- |
|
196 | 196 | |
|
197 | 197 | Some configurable traits are containers (list, dict, set) |
|
198 | 198 | Config objects now support calling ``extend``, ``update``, ``insert``, etc. |
|
199 | 199 | on traits in config files, which will ultimately result in calling |
|
200 | 200 | those methods on the original object. |
|
201 | 201 | |
|
202 | 202 | The effect being that you can now add to containers without having to copy/paste |
|
203 | 203 | the initial value:: |
|
204 | 204 | |
|
205 | 205 | c = get_config() |
|
206 | 206 | c.InlineBackend.rc.update({ 'figure.figsize' : (6, 4) }) |
|
207 | 207 | |
|
208 | 208 | Changes to hidden namespace on startup |
|
209 | 209 | -------------------------------------- |
|
210 | 210 | |
|
211 | 211 | Previously, all names declared in code run at startup |
|
212 | 212 | (startup files, ``ipython -i script.py``, etc.) |
|
213 | 213 | were added to the hidden namespace, which hides the names from tools like ``%whos``. |
|
214 | 214 | There are two changes to this behavior: |
|
215 | 215 | |
|
216 | 216 | 1. Scripts run on the command-line ``ipython -i script.py``now behave the same as if they were |
|
217 | 217 | passed to ``%run``, so their variables are never hidden. |
|
218 | 218 | 2. A boolean config flag ``InteractiveShellApp.hide_initial_ns`` has been added to optionally |
|
219 | 219 | disable the hidden behavior altogether. The default behavior is unchanged. |
|
220 | 220 | |
|
221 | 221 | Using dill to expand serialization support |
|
222 | 222 | ------------------------------------------ |
|
223 | 223 | |
|
224 | 224 | The new function :func:`~IPython.utils.pickleutil.use_dill` allows |
|
225 | 225 | dill to extend serialization support in :mod:`IPython.parallel` (closures, etc.). |
|
226 | 226 | A :meth:`DirectView.use_dill` convenience method was also added, to enable dill |
|
227 | 227 | locally and on all engines with one call. |
|
228 | 228 | |
|
229 | 229 | New IPython console lexer |
|
230 | 230 | ------------------------- |
|
231 | 231 | |
|
232 | 232 | The IPython console lexer has been rewritten and now supports tracebacks |
|
233 | 233 | and customized input/output prompts. See the :ref:`new lexer docs <console_lexer>` |
|
234 | 234 | for details. |
|
235 | 235 | |
|
236 | 236 | DisplayFormatter changes |
|
237 | 237 | ------------------------ |
|
238 | 238 | |
|
239 | 239 | There was no official way to query or remove callbacks in the Formatter API. |
|
240 | 240 | To remedy this, the following methods are added to :class:`BaseFormatter`: |
|
241 | 241 | |
|
242 | 242 | - ``lookup(instance)`` - return appropriate callback or a given object |
|
243 | 243 | - ``lookup_by_type(type_or_str)`` - return appropriate callback for a given type or ``'mod.name'`` type string |
|
244 | 244 | - ``pop(type_or_str)`` - remove a type (by type or string). |
|
245 | 245 | Pass a second argument to avoid KeyError (like dict). |
|
246 | 246 | |
|
247 | 247 | All of the above methods raise a KeyError if no match is found. |
|
248 | 248 | |
|
249 | 249 | And the following methods are changed: |
|
250 | 250 | |
|
251 | 251 | - ``for_type(type_or_str)`` - behaves the same as before, only adding support for ``'mod.name'`` |
|
252 | 252 | type strings in addition to plain types. This removes the need for ``for_type_by_name()``, |
|
253 | 253 | but it remains for backward compatibility. |
|
254 | 254 | |
|
255 | 255 | Formatters can now raise NotImplementedError in addition to returning None |
|
256 | 256 | to indicate that they cannot format a given object. |
|
257 | 257 | |
|
258 | 258 | Exceptions and Warnings |
|
259 | 259 | *********************** |
|
260 | 260 | |
|
261 | 261 | Exceptions are no longer silenced when formatters fail. |
|
262 | 262 | Instead, these are turned into a :class:`~IPython.core.formatters.FormatterWarning`. |
|
263 | 263 | A FormatterWarning will also be issued if a formatter returns data of an invalid type |
|
264 | 264 | (e.g. an integer for 'image/png'). |
|
265 | 265 | |
|
266 | 266 | |
|
267 | 267 | Other changes |
|
268 | 268 | ------------- |
|
269 | 269 | |
|
270 | 270 | * `%%capture` cell magic now captures the rich display output, not just |
|
271 | 271 | stdout/stderr |
|
272 | 272 | |
|
273 | 273 | * In notebook, Showing tooltip on tab has been disables to avoid conflict with |
|
274 | 274 | completion, Shift-Tab could still be used to invoke tooltip when inside |
|
275 | 275 | function signature and/or on selection. |
|
276 | 276 | |
|
277 | 277 | * ``object_info_request`` has been replaced by ``object_info`` for consistency in the javascript API. |
|
278 | 278 | ``object_info`` is a simpler interface to register callback that is incompatible with ``object_info_request``. |
|
279 | 279 | |
|
280 | 280 | * Previous versions of IPython on Linux would use the XDG config directory, |
|
281 | 281 | creating :file:`~/.config/ipython` by default. We have decided to go |
|
282 | 282 | back to :file:`~/.ipython` for consistency among systems. IPython will |
|
283 | 283 | issue a warning if it finds the XDG location, and will move it to the new |
|
284 | 284 | location if there isn't already a directory there. |
|
285 | 285 | |
|
286 | 286 | * Equations, images and tables are now centered in Markdown cells. |
|
287 | 287 | * Multiline equations are now centered in output areas; single line equations |
|
288 | 288 | remain left justified. |
|
289 | 289 | |
|
290 | 290 | * IPython config objects can be loaded from and serialized to JSON. |
|
291 | 291 | JSON config file have the same base name as their ``.py`` counterpart, |
|
292 | 292 | and will be loaded with higher priority if found. |
|
293 | 293 | |
|
294 | 294 | * bash completion updated with support for all ipython subcommands and flags, including nbconvert |
|
295 | 295 | |
|
296 | 296 | * ``ipython history trim``: added ``--keep=<N>`` as an alias for the more verbose |
|
297 | 297 | ``--HistoryTrim.keep=<N>`` |
|
298 | 298 | * New ``ipython history clear`` subcommand, which is the same as the newly supported |
|
299 | 299 | ``ipython history trim --keep=0`` |
|
300 | 300 | |
|
301 | 301 | * You can now run notebooks in an interactive session via ``%run notebook.ipynb``. |
|
302 | 302 | |
|
303 | 303 | * Print preview is back in the notebook menus, along with options to |
|
304 | 304 | download the open notebook in various formats. This is powered by |
|
305 | 305 | nbconvert. |
|
306 | 306 | |
|
307 | 307 | * :exc:`~IPython.nbconvert.utils.pandoc.PandocMissing` exceptions will be |
|
308 | 308 | raised if Pandoc is unavailable, and warnings will be printed if the version |
|
309 | 309 | found is too old. The recommended Pandoc version for use with nbconvert is |
|
310 | 310 | 1.12.1. |
|
311 | 311 | |
|
312 | 312 | * The InlineBackend.figure_format now supports JPEG output if PIL/Pillow is available. |
|
313 | 313 | |
|
314 | 314 | * Input transformers (see :doc:`/config/inputtransforms`) may now raise |
|
315 | 315 | :exc:`SyntaxError` if they determine that input is invalid. The input |
|
316 | 316 | transformation machinery in IPython will handle displaying the exception to |
|
317 | 317 | the user and resetting state. |
|
318 | 318 | |
|
319 | 319 | * Calling ``container.show()`` on javascript display is deprecated and will |
|
320 | 320 | trigger errors on future IPython notebook versions. ``container`` now show |
|
321 | 321 | itself as soon as non-empty |
|
322 | 322 | |
|
323 | 323 | * Added ``InlineBackend.print_figure_kwargs`` to allow passing keyword arguments |
|
324 | 324 | to matplotlib's ``Canvas.print_figure``. This can be used to change the value of |
|
325 | 325 | ``bbox_inches``, which is 'tight' by default, or set the quality of JPEG figures. |
|
326 | 326 | |
|
327 | 327 | * A new callback system has been introduced. For details, see :doc:`/config/callbacks`. |
|
328 | 328 | |
|
329 | 329 | * jQuery and require.js are loaded from CDNs in the default HTML template, |
|
330 | 330 | so javascript is available in static HTML export (e.g. nbviewer). |
|
331 | 331 | |
|
332 | 332 | Backwards incompatible changes |
|
333 | 333 | ------------------------------ |
|
334 | 334 | |
|
335 | 335 | * Python 2.6 and 3.2 are no longer supported: the minimum required |
|
336 | 336 | Python versions are now 2.7 and 3.3. |
|
337 | 337 | * The Transformer classes have been renamed to Preprocessor in nbconvert and |
|
338 | 338 | their ``call`` methods have been renamed to ``preprocess``. |
|
339 | 339 | * The ``call`` methods of nbconvert post-processsors have been renamed to |
|
340 | 340 | ``postprocess``. |
|
341 | 341 | |
|
342 | 342 | * The module ``IPython.core.fakemodule`` has been removed. |
|
343 | 343 | |
|
344 | 344 | * The alias system has been reimplemented to use magic functions. There should be little |
|
345 | 345 | visible difference while automagics are enabled, as they are by default, but parts of the |
|
346 | 346 | :class:`~IPython.core.alias.AliasManager` API have been removed. |
|
347 | 347 | |
|
348 | 348 | * We fixed an issue with switching between matplotlib inline and GUI backends, |
|
349 | 349 | but the fix requires matplotlib 1.1 or newer. So from now on, we consider |
|
350 | 350 | matplotlib 1.1 to be the minimally supported version for IPython. Older |
|
351 | 351 | versions for the most part will work, but we make no guarantees about it. |
|
352 | 352 | |
|
353 | 353 | * The :command:`pycolor` command has been removed. We recommend the much more capable |
|
354 | 354 | :command:`pygmentize` command from the `Pygments <http://pygments.org/>`_ project. |
|
355 | 355 | If you need to keep the exact output of :command:`pycolor`, you can still use |
|
356 | 356 | ``python -m IPython.utils.PyColorize foo.py``. |
|
357 | 357 | |
|
358 | 358 | * :mod:`IPython.lib.irunner` and its command-line entry point have been removed. |
|
359 | 359 | It had fallen out of use long ago. |
|
360 | 360 | |
|
361 | 361 | * The ``input_prefilter`` hook has been removed, as it was never |
|
362 | 362 | actually used by the code. The input transformer system offers much |
|
363 | 363 | more powerful APIs to work with input code. See |
|
364 | 364 | :doc:`/config/inputtransforms` for details. |
|
365 | 365 | |
|
366 | 366 | * :class:`IPython.core.inputsplitter.IPythonInputSplitter` no longer has a method |
|
367 | 367 | ``source_raw_reset()``, but gains :meth:`~IPython.core.inputsplitter.IPythonInputSplitter.raw_reset` |
|
368 | 368 | instead. Use of ``source_raw_reset`` can be replaced with:: |
|
369 | 369 | |
|
370 | 370 | raw = isp.source_raw |
|
371 | 371 | transformed = isp.source_reset() |
|
372 | 372 | |
|
373 | 373 | * The Azure notebook manager was removed as it was no longer compatible with the notebook storage scheme. |
|
374 | 374 | |
|
375 | 375 | * Simplifying configurable URLs |
|
376 | 376 | |
|
377 | 377 | - base_project_url is renamed to base_url (base_project_url is kept as a deprecated alias, for now) |
|
378 | 378 | - base_kernel_url configurable is removed (use base_url) |
|
379 | 379 | - websocket_url configurable is removed (use base_url) |

|
11 | 11 | This is a really big release. Over 150 contributors, and almost 6000 commits in a bit under a year. |
|
12 | 12 | Support for languages other than Python is greatly improved, |
|
13 | 13 | notebook UI has been significantly redesigned, |
|
14 | 14 | and a lot of improvement has happened in the experimental interactive widgets. |
|
15 | 15 | The message protocol and document format have both been updated, |
|
16 | 16 | while maintaining better compatibility with previous versions than prior updates. |
|
17 | 17 | The notebook webapp now enables editing of any text file, and even |
|
18 | 18 | a web-based terminal (on Unix platforms). |
|
19 | 19 | |
|
20 | 20 | 3.x will be the last monolithic release of IPython, |
|
21 | 21 | as the next release cycle will see the growing project split into its Python-specific and language-agnostic components. |
|
22 | 22 | Language-agnostic projects (notebook, qtconsole, etc.) will move under the umbrella of the new Project Jupyter name, |
|
23 | 23 | while Python-specific projects (interactive Python shell, Python kernel, IPython.parallel) |
|
24 | 24 | will remain under IPython, and be split into a few smaller packages. |
|
25 | 25 | To reflect this, IPython is in a bit of a transition state. |
|
26 | 26 | The logo on the notebook is now the Jupyter logo. |
|
27 | 27 | When installing kernels system-wide, they go in a `jupyter` directory. |
|
28 | 28 | We are going to do our best to ease this transition for users and developers. |
|
29 | 29 | |
|
30 | 30 | Big changes are ahead. |
|
31 | 31 | |
|
32 | 32 | |
|
33 | 33 | Using different kernels |
|
34 | 34 | ----------------------- |
|
35 | 35 | |
|
36 | 36 | .. image:: ../_images/kernel_selector_screenshot.png |
|
37 | 37 | :alt: Screenshot of 'new' dropdown showing different kernels |
|
38 | 38 | :align: center |
|
39 | 39 | |
|
40 | 40 | You can now choose a kernel for a notebook within the user interface, rather |
|
41 | 41 | than starting up a separate notebook server for each kernel you want to use. The |
|
42 | 42 | syntax highlighting adapts to match the language you're working in. |
|
43 | 43 | |
|
44 | 44 | Information about the kernel is stored in the notebook file, so when you open a |
|
45 | 45 | notebook, it will automatically start the correct kernel. |
|
46 | 46 | |
|
47 | 47 | It is also easier to use the Qt console and the terminal console with other |
|
48 | 48 | kernels, using the --kernel flag:: |
|
49 | 49 | |
|
50 | 50 | ipython qtconsole --kernel bash |
|
51 | 51 | ipython console --kernel bash |
|
52 | 52 | |
|
53 | 53 | # To list available kernels |
|
54 | 54 | ipython kernelspec list |
|
55 | 55 | |
|
56 | 56 | Kernel authors should see :ref:`kernelspecs` for how to register their kernels |
|
57 | 57 | with IPython so that these mechanisms work. |
|
58 | 58 | |
|
59 | 59 | Typing unicode identifiers |
|
60 | 60 | -------------------------- |
|
61 | 61 | |
|
62 | 62 | .. image:: /_images/unicode_completion.png |
|
63 | 63 | |
|
64 | 64 | Complex expressions can be much cleaner when written with a wider choice of |
|
65 | 65 | characters. Python 3 allows unicode identifiers, and IPython 3 makes it easier |
|
66 | 66 | to type those, using a feature from Julia. Type a backslash followed by a LaTeX |
|
67 | 67 | style short name, such as ``\alpha``. Press tab, and it will turn into Ξ±. |
|
68 | 68 | |
|
69 | 69 | Other new features |
|
70 | 70 | ------------------ |
|
71 | 71 | |
|
72 | 72 | * :class:`~.TextWidget` and :class:`~.TextareaWidget` objects now include a |
|
73 | 73 | ``placeholder`` attribute, for displaying placeholder text before the |
|
74 | 74 | user has typed anything. |
|
75 | 75 | |
|
76 | 76 | * The :magic:`load` magic can now find the source for objects in the user namespace. |
|
77 | 77 | To enable searching the namespace, use the ``-n`` option. |
|
78 | 78 | |
|
79 | 79 | .. sourcecode:: ipython |
|
80 | 80 | |
|
81 | 81 | In [1]: %load -n my_module.some_function |
|
82 | 82 | |
|
83 | 83 | * :class:`~.DirectView` objects have a new :meth:`~.DirectView.use_cloudpickle` |
|
84 | 84 | method, which works like ``view.use_dill()``, but causes the ``cloudpickle`` |
|
85 | 85 | module from PiCloud's `cloud`__ library to be used rather than dill or the |
|
86 | 86 | builtin pickle module. |
|
87 | 87 | |
|
88 | 88 | __ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloud |
|
89 | 89 | |
|
90 | 90 | * Added a .ipynb exporter to nbconvert. It can be used by passing `--to notebook` |
|
91 | 91 | as a commandline argument to nbconvert. |
|
92 | 92 | |
|
93 | 93 | * New nbconvert preprocessor called :class:`~.ClearOutputPreprocessor`. This |
|
94 | 94 | clears the output from IPython notebooks. |
|
95 | 95 | |
|
96 | 96 | * New preprocessor for nbconvert that executes all the code cells in a notebook. |
|
97 | 97 | To run a notebook and save its output in a new notebook:: |
|
98 | 98 | |
|
99 | 99 | ipython nbconvert InputNotebook --ExecutePreprocessor.enabled=True --to notebook --output Executed |
|
100 | 100 | |
|
101 | 101 | * Consecutive stream (stdout/stderr) output is merged into a single output |
|
102 | 102 | in the notebook document. |
|
103 | 103 | Previously, all output messages were preserved as separate output fields in the JSON. |
|
104 | 104 | Now, the same merge is applied to the stored output as the displayed output, |
|
105 | 105 | improving document load time for notebooks with many small outputs. |
|
106 | 106 | |
|
107 | 107 | * ``NotebookApp.webapp_settings`` is deprecated and replaced with |
|
108 | 108 | the more informatively named ``NotebookApp.tornado_settings``. |
|
109 | 109 | |
|
110 | 110 | * Using :magic:`timeit` prints warnings if there is atleast a 4x difference in timings |
|
111 | 111 | between the slowest and fastest runs, since this might meant that the multiple |
|
112 | 112 | runs are not independent of one another. |
|
113 | 113 | |
|
114 | 114 | * It's now possible to provide mechanisms to integrate IPython with other event |
|
115 | 115 | loops, in addition to the ones we already support. This lets you run GUI code |
|
116 | 116 | in IPython with an interactive prompt, and to embed the IPython |
|
117 | 117 | kernel in GUI applications. See :doc:`/config/eventloops` for details. As part |
|
118 | 118 | of this, the direct ``enable_*`` and ``disable_*`` functions for various GUIs |
|
119 | 119 | in :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook` have been deprecated in favour of |
|
120 | 120 | :meth:`~.InputHookManager.enable_gui` and :meth:`~.InputHookManager.disable_gui`. |
|
121 | 121 | |
|
122 | 122 | * A ``ScrollManager`` was added to the notebook. The ``ScrollManager`` controls how the notebook document is scrolled using keyboard. Users can inherit from the ``ScrollManager`` or ``TargetScrollManager`` to customize how their notebook scrolls. The default ``ScrollManager`` is the ``SlideScrollManager``, which tries to scroll to the nearest slide or sub-slide cell. |
|
123 | 123 | |
|
124 | 124 | * The function :func:`~IPython.html.widgets.interaction.interact_manual` has been |
|
125 | 125 | added which behaves similarly to :func:`~IPython.html.widgets.interaction.interact`, |
|
126 | 126 | but adds a button to explicitly run the interacted-with function, rather than |
|
127 | 127 | doing it automatically for every change of the parameter widgets. This should |
|
128 | 128 | be useful for long-running functions. |
|
129 | 129 | |
|
130 | 130 | * The ``%cython`` magic is now part of the Cython module. Use `%load_ext Cython` with a version of Cython >= 0.21 to have access to the magic now. |
|
131 | 131 | |
|
132 | 132 | * The Notebook application now offers integrated terminals on Unix platforms, |
|
133 | 133 | intended for when it is used on a remote server. To enable these, install |
|
134 | 134 | the ``terminado`` Python package. |
|
135 | 135 | |
|
136 | 136 | * The Notebook application can now edit any plain text files, via a full-page CodeMirror instance. |
|
137 | 137 | |
|
138 | 138 | * Setting the default highlighting language for nbconvert with the config option |
|
139 | 139 | ``NbConvertBase.default_language`` is deprecated. Nbconvert now respects |
|
140 | 140 | metadata stored in the :ref:`kernel spec <kernelspecs>`. |
|
141 | 141 | |
|
142 | 142 | * IPython can now be configured systemwide, with files in :file:`/etc/ipython` |
|
143 | 143 | or :file:`/usr/local/etc/ipython` on Unix systems, |
|
144 | 144 | or :file:`{%PROGRAMDATA%}\\ipython` on Windows. |
|
145 | 145 | |
|
146 | 146 | * Added support for configurable user-supplied `Jinja |
|
147 | 147 | <http://jinja.pocoo.org/>`_ HTML templates for the notebook. Paths to |
|
148 | 148 | directories containing template files can be specified via |
|
149 | 149 | ``NotebookApp.extra_template_paths``. User-supplied template directories |
|
150 | 150 | searched first by the notebook, making it possible to replace existing |
|
151 | 151 | templates with your own files. |
|
152 | 152 | |
|
153 | 153 | For example, to replace the notebook's built-in ``error.html`` with your own, |
|
154 | 154 | create a directory like ``/home/my_templates`` and put your override template |
|
155 | 155 | at ``/home/my_templates/error.html``. To start the notebook with your custom |
|
156 | 156 | error page enabled, you would run:: |
|
157 | 157 | |
|
158 | 158 | ipython notebook '--extra_template_paths=["/home/my_templates/"]' |
|
159 | 159 | |
|
160 | 160 | It's also possible to override a template while also `inheriting |
|
161 | 161 | <http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/dev/templates/#template-inheritance>`_ from that |
|
162 | 162 | template, by prepending ``templates/`` to the ``{% extends %}`` target of |
|
163 | 163 | your child template. This is useful when you only want to override a |
|
164 | 164 | specific block of a template. For example, to add additional CSS to the |
|
165 | 165 | built-in ``error.html``, you might create an override that looks like:: |
|
166 | 166 | |
|
167 | 167 | {% extends "templates/error.html" %} |
|
168 | 168 | |
|
169 | 169 | {% block stylesheet %} |
|
170 | 170 | {{super()}} |
|
171 | 171 | <style type="text/css"> |
|
172 | 172 | /* My Awesome CSS */ |
|
173 | 173 | </style> |
|
174 | 174 | {% endblock %} |
|
175 | 175 | |
|
176 | 176 | * Added a widget persistence API. This allows you to persist your notebooks interactive widgets. |
|
177 | 177 | Two levels of control are provided: |
|
178 | 178 | 1. Higher level- ``WidgetManager.set_state_callbacks`` allows you to register callbacks for loading and saving widget state. The callbacks you register are automatically called when necessary. |
|
179 | 179 | 2. Lower level- the ``WidgetManager`` Javascript class now has ``get_state`` and ``set_state`` methods that allow you to get and set the state of the widget runtime. |
|
180 | 180 | |
|
181 | 181 | Example code for persisting your widget state to session data:: |
|
182 | 182 | |
|
183 | 183 | %%javascript |
|
184 | 184 | require(['widgets/js/manager'], function(manager) { |
|
185 | 185 | manager.WidgetManager.set_state_callbacks(function() { // Load |
|
186 | 186 | return JSON.parse(sessionStorage.widgets_state || '{}'); |
|
187 | 187 | }, function(state) { // Save |
|
188 | 188 | sessionStorage.widgets_state = JSON.stringify(state); |
|
189 | 189 | }); |
|
190 | 190 | }); |
|
191 | 191 | |
|
192 | 192 | * Enhanced support for :magic:`env` magic. As before, :magic:`env` with no |
|
193 | 193 | arguments displays all environment variables and values. Additionally, |
|
194 | 194 | :magic:`env` can be used to get or set individual environment variables. To |
|
195 | 195 | display an individual value, use the `%env var` syntax. To set a value, use |
|
196 | 196 | `env var val` or `env var=val`. Python value expansion using `$` works as usual. |
|
197 | 197 | |
|
198 | 198 | |
|
199 | 199 | Backwards incompatible changes |
|
200 | 200 | ------------------------------ |
|
201 | 201 | |
|
202 | 202 | * The :ref:`message protocol <messaging>` has been updated from version 4 to version 5. |
|
203 | 203 | Adapters are included, so IPython frontends can still talk to kernels that |
|
204 | 204 | implement protocol version 4. |
|
205 | 205 | |
|
206 | 206 | * The :ref:`notebook format <nbformat>` has been updated from version 3 to version 4. |
|
207 | 207 | Read-only support for v4 notebooks has been backported to IPython 2.4. |
|
208 | 208 | Notable changes: |
|
209 | 209 | |
|
210 | 210 | * heading cells are removed in favor or markdown headings |
|
211 | 211 | * notebook outputs and output messages are more consistent with each other |
|
212 | 212 | * use :func:`IPython.nbformat.read` and :func:`~IPython.nbformat.write` |
|
213 | 213 | to read and write notebook files |
|
214 | 214 | instead of the deprecated :mod:`IPython.nbformat.current` APIs. |
|
215 | 215 | |
|
216 | 216 | * :func:`IPython.core.oinspect.getsource` call specification has changed: |
|
217 | 217 | |
|
218 | 218 | * `oname` keyword argument has been added for property source formatting |
|
219 | 219 | * `is_binary` keyword argument has been dropped, passing ``True`` had |
|
220 | 220 | previously short-circuited the function to return ``None`` unconditionally |
|
221 | 221 | |
|
222 | 222 | * Removed the octavemagic extension: it is now available as ``oct2py.ipython``. |
|
223 | 223 | |
|
224 | 224 | * Creating PDFs with LaTeX no longer uses a post processor. |
|
225 | 225 | Use `nbconvert --to pdf` instead of `nbconvert --to latex --post pdf`. |
|
226 | 226 | |
|
227 | 227 | * Used https://github.com/jdfreder/bootstrap2to3 to migrate the Notebook to Bootstrap 3. |
|
228 | 228 | |
|
229 | 229 | Additional changes: |
|
230 | 230 | |
|
231 | 231 | - Set `.tab-content .row` `0px;` left and right margin (bootstrap default is `-15px;`) |
|
232 | 232 | - Removed `height: @btn_mini_height;` from `.list_header>div, .list_item>div` in `tree.less` |
|
233 | 233 | - Set `#header` div `margin-bottom: 0px;` |
|
234 | 234 | - Set `#menus` to `float: left;` |
|
235 | 235 | - Set `#maintoolbar .navbar-text` to `float: none;` |
|
236 | 236 | - Added no-padding convenience class. |
|
237 | 237 | - Set border of #maintoolbar to 0px |
|
238 | 238 | |
|
239 | 239 | * Accessing the `container` DOM object when displaying javascript has been |
|
240 | 240 | deprecated in IPython 2.0 in favor of accessing `element`. Starting with |
|
241 | 241 | IPython 3.0 trying to access `container` will raise an error in browser |
|
242 | 242 | javascript console. |
|
243 | 243 | |
|
244 | 244 | * ``IPython.utils.py3compat.open`` was removed: :func:`io.open` provides all |
|
245 | 245 | the same functionality. |
|
246 | 246 | |
|
247 | 247 | * The NotebookManager and ``/api/notebooks`` service has been replaced by |
|
248 | 248 | a more generic ContentsManager and ``/api/contents`` service, |
|
249 | 249 | which supports all kinds of files. |
|
250 | 250 | * The Dashboard now lists all files, not just notebooks and directories. |
|
251 | 251 | * The ``--script`` hook for saving notebooks to Python scripts is removed, |
|
252 | 252 | use :samp:`ipython nbconvert --to python {notebook}` instead. |
|
253 | 253 | |
|
254 | 254 | * The ``rmagic`` extension is deprecated, as it is now part of rpy2. See |
|
255 | 255 | :mod:`rpy2.ipython.rmagic`. |
|
256 | 256 | |
|
257 | 257 | * :meth:`~.KernelManager.start_kernel` and :meth:`~.KernelManager.format_kernel_cmd` |
|
258 | 258 | no longer accept a ``executable`` parameter. Use the kernelspec machinery instead. |
|
259 | 259 | |
|
260 | 260 | * The widget classes have been renamed from `*Widget` to `*`. The old names are |
|
261 | 261 | still functional, but are deprecated. i.e. `IntSliderWidget` has been renamed |
|
262 | 262 | to `IntSlider`. |
|
263 | 263 | * The ContainerWidget was renamed to Box and no longer defaults as a flexible |
|
264 | 264 | box in the web browser. A new FlexBox widget was added, which allows you to |
|
265 | 265 | use the flexible box model. |
|
266 | 266 | |
|
267 | 267 | * The notebook now uses a single websocket at `/kernels/<kernel-id>/channels` instead of separate |
|
268 | 268 | `/kernels/<kernel-id>/{shell|iopub|stdin}` channels. Messages on each channel are identified by a |
|
269 | 269 | `channel` key in the message dict, for both send and recv. |
|
270 | 270 | |
|
271 | 271 | |
|
272 | 272 | Content Security Policy |
|
273 | 273 | ``````````````````````` |
|
274 | 274 | |
|
275 | 275 | The Content Security Policy is a web standard for adding a layer of security to |
|
276 | 276 | detect and mitigate certain classes of attacks, including Cross Site Scripting |
|

297 | 297 | There is a `report-uri <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/CSP/CSP_policy_directives#report-uri>`_ endpoint available for logging CSP violations, located at |
|
298 | 298 | ``/api/security/csp-report``. To use it, set ``report-uri`` as part of the CSP:: |

303 | 303 | } |
|
304 | 304 | } |
|
305 | 305 | |
|
306 | 306 | It simply provides the CSP report as a warning in IPython's logs. The default |
|
307 | 307 | CSP sets this report-uri relative to the ``base_url`` (not shown above). |
