9 9 Please do not edit this file by hand (doing so will likely cause merge
10 10 conflicts for other Pull Requests). Instead, create a new file in the
11 11 `docs/source/whatsnew/pr` folder

13 13
14 14 - `%%capture` cell magic now captures the rich display output, not just
15 15 stdout/stderr

17 17 Select Notebook Name When Renaming a Notebook
18 18 ---------------------------------------------
19 19
20 20 The default notebook name is Untitled. It's unlikely you want to keep this name
21 21 or part of it when naming your notebook. Instead, IPython will select the text
22 22 in the input field so the user can easily type over the name and change it.
23 23
24 24 clear_output changes
25 25 --------------------
26 26
27 27 * There is no longer a 500ms delay when calling ``clear_output``.
28 28 * The ability to clear stderr and stdout individually was removed.
29 29 * A new ``wait`` flag that prevents ``clear_output`` from being executed until new
30 30 output is available. This eliminates animation flickering by allowing the
31 31 user to double buffer the output.
32 32 * The output div height is remembered when the ``wait=True`` flag is used.
33 33
34 Extending Configurable Containers
35 ---------------------------------
36
37 Some configurable traits are containers (list, dict, set)
38 Config objects now support calling ``extend``, ``update``, ``insert``, etc.
39 on traits in config files, which will ultimately result in calling
40 those methods on the original object.
41
42 The effect being that you can now add to containers without having to copy/paste
43 the initial value::
44
45 c = get_config()
46 c.InlineBackend.rc.update({ 'figure.figsize' : (6, 4) })
47
48 * In notebook, Showing tooltip on tab has been disables to avoid conflict with
49 completion, Shift-Tab could still be used to invoke tooltip when inside
50 function signature and/or on selection.
51
52 Single codebase Python 3 support
53 --------------------------------
54
55 IPython previously supported Python 3 by running 2to3 during setup. We
56 have now switched to a single codebase which runs natively on Python 2.7
57 and 3.3.
58
59 For notes on how to maintain this, see :doc:`/development/pycompat`.
60
61 * ``object_info_request`` as been replaced by ``object_info`` for consistency in the javascript API.
62 ``object_info`` as a simpler interface to register callback that is incompatible with ``object_info_request``.
63
64 * Previous versions of IPython on Linux would use the XDG config directory,
65 creating :file:`~/.config/ipython` by default. We have decided to go
66 back to :file:`~/.ipython` for consistency among systems. IPython will
67 issue a warning if it finds the XDG location, and will move it to the new
68 location if there isn't already a directory there.
69
70 * Equations, images and tables are now centered in Markdown cells.
71 * Multiline equations are now centered in output areas; single line equations
72 remain left justified.

36 76 Backwards incompatible changes
37 77 ------------------------------
38 78
39 79 * Python 2.6 and 3.2 are no longer supported: the minimum required
40 80 Python versions are now 2.7 and 3.3.
41 81 * The Transformer classes have been renamed to Preprocessor in nbconvert and
42 82 their `call` methods for them have been renamed to `preprocess`.
43 83 * The `call` methods of nbconvert post-processsors have been renamed to
44 84 `postprocess`.
45 85
46 86 * The module ``IPython.core.fakemodule`` has been removed.
47 87
48 88 * The alias system has been reimplemented to use magic functions. There should be little
49 89 visible difference while automagics are enabled, as they are by default, but parts of the
50 90 :class:`~IPython.core.alias.AliasManager` API have been removed.
51 91
52 92 * We fixed an issue with switching between matplotlib inline and GUI backends,
53 93 but the fix requires matplotlib 1.1 or newer. So from now on, we consider
54 94 matplotlib 1.1 to be the minimally supported version for IPython. Older
55 95 versions for the most part will work, but we make no guarantees about it.
56 96
57 97 * The :command:`pycolor` command has been removed. We recommend the much more capable
58 98 :command:`pygmentize` command from the `Pygments <http://pygments.org/>`_ project.
59 99 If you need to keep the exact output of :command:`pycolor`, you can still use
60 100 ``python -m IPython.utils.PyColorize foo.py``.
