10 | IPython 7.25 is a minor release that contains a single bugfix, which is highly | |
|
11 | 11 | recommended for all users of ipdb, ipython debugger %debug magic and similar. |
|
12 | 12 | |
|
13 | 13 | Issuing commands like ``where`` from within the debugger would reset the |
|
14 | 14 | local variables changes made by the user. It is interesting to look at the root |
|
15 | 15 | cause of the issue as accessing an attribute (``frame.f_locals``) would trigger |
|
16 | 16 | this side effects. |
|

|
18 | 18 | Thanks in particular to the patience from the reporters at D.E. Shaw for their |
|
19 | 19 | initial bug report that was due to a similar coding oversight in an extension, |

|
49 | 49 | Debugger improvements |
|
50 | 50 | --------------------- |
|
51 | 51 | |
|
52 | 52 | The debugger (and ``%debug`` magic) have been improved and can skip or hide frames |
|
53 | 53 | originating from files that are not writable to the user, as these are less |
|
54 | 54 | likely to be the source of errors, or be part of system files this can be a useful |
|
55 | 55 | addition when debugging long errors. |
|
56 | 56 | |
|
57 | 57 | In addition to the global ``skip_hidden True|False`` command, the debugger has |
|
58 | 58 | gained finer grained control of predicates as to whether to a frame should be |
|
59 | 59 | considered hidden. So far 3 predicates are available : |
|
60 | 60 | |
|
61 | 61 | - ``tbhide``: frames containing the local variable ``__tracebackhide__`` set to |
|
62 | 62 | True. |
|
63 | 63 | - ``readonly``: frames originating from readonly files, set to False. |
|
64 | 64 | - ``ipython_internal``: frames that are likely to be from IPython internal |
|
65 | 65 | code, set to True. |
|
66 | 66 | |
|
67 | 67 | You can toggle individual predicates during a session with |
|
68 | 68 | |
|
69 | 69 | .. code-block:: |
|
70 | 70 | |
|
71 | 71 | ipdb> skip_predicates readonly True |
|
72 | 72 | |
|
73 | 73 | Read-only files will now be considered hidden frames. |
|
74 | 74 | |
|
75 | 75 | |
|
76 | 76 | You can call ``skip_predicates`` without arguments to see the states of current |
|
77 | 77 | predicates: |
|
78 | 78 | |
|
79 | 79 | .. code-block:: |
|
80 | 80 | |
|
81 | 81 | ipdb> skip_predicates |
|
82 | 82 | current predicates: |
|
83 | 83 | tbhide : True |
|
84 | 84 | readonly : False |
|
85 | 85 | ipython_internal : True |
|
86 | 86 | |
|
87 | 87 | If all predicates are set to ``False``, ``skip_hidden`` will practically have |
|
88 | 88 | no effect. We attempt to warn you when all predicates are False. |
|
89 | 89 | |
|
90 | 90 | Note that the ``readonly`` predicate may increase disk access as we check for |
|
91 | 91 | file access permission for all frames on many command invocation, but is usually |
|
92 | 92 | cached by operating systems. Let us know if you encounter any issues. |
|
93 | 93 | |
|
94 | 94 | As the IPython debugger does not use the traitlets infrastructure for |
|
95 | 95 | configuration, by editing your ``.pdbrc`` files and appending commands you would |
|
96 | 96 | like to be executed just before entering the interactive prompt. For example: |
|
97 | 97 | |
|
98 | 98 | |
|
99 | 99 | .. code:: |
|
100 | 100 | |
|
101 | 101 | # file : ~/.pdbrc |
|
102 | 102 | skip_predicates readonly True |
|
103 | 103 | skip_predicates tbhide False |
|
104 | 104 | |
|
105 | 105 | Will hide read only frames by default and show frames marked with |
|
106 | 106 | ``__tracebackhide__``. |

|
128 | 128 | |
|
129 | 129 | |
|
130 | 130 | Third release of IPython for 2021, mostly containing bug fixes. A couple of not |
|
131 | 131 | typical updates: |
|
132 | 132 | |
|
133 | 133 | - We moved to GitHub actions away from Travis-CI, the transition may not be |
|
134 | 134 | 100% complete (not testing on nightly anymore), but as we ran out of |
|
135 | 135 | Travis-Ci hours on the IPython organisation that was a necessary step. |
|
136 | 136 | :ghpull:`12900`. |
|
137 | 137 | |
|
138 | 138 | - We have a new dependency: ``matplotlib-inline``, which try to extract |
|
139 | 139 | matplotlib inline backend specific behavior. It is available on PyPI and |
|
140 | 140 | conda-forge thus should not be a problem to upgrade to this version. If you |
|
141 | 141 | are a package maintainer that might be an extra dependency to package first. |
|
142 | 142 | :ghpull:`12817` (IPython 7.23.1 fix a typo that made this change fail) |
|
143 | 143 | |
|
144 | 144 | In the addition/new feature category, ``display()`` now have a ``clear=True`` |
|
145 | 145 | option to clear the display if any further outputs arrives, allowing users to |
|
146 | 146 | avoid having to use ``clear_output()`` directly. :ghpull:`12823`. |
|
147 | 147 | |
|
148 | 148 | In bug fixes category, this release fix an issue when printing tracebacks |
|
149 | 149 | containing Unicode characters :ghpull:`12758`. |
|
150 | 150 | |
|
151 | 151 | In code cleanup category :ghpull:`12932` remove usage of some deprecated |
|
152 | 152 | functionality for compatibility with Python 3.10. |
|

174 | 174 | |
|
175 | 175 | Second release of IPython for 2021, mostly containing bug fixes. Here is a quick |
|
176 | 176 | rundown of the few changes. |
|
177 | 177 | |
|
178 | 178 | - Fix some ``sys.excepthook`` shenanigan when embedding with qt, recommended if |
|
179 | 179 | you β for example β use `napari <https://napari.org>`__. :ghpull:`12842`. |

|
181 | 181 | - Couples of deprecation cleanup :ghpull:`12868` |
|
182 | 182 | - Update for new dpast.com api if you use the ``%pastbin`` magic. :ghpull:`12712` |
|
183 | 183 | - Remove support for numpy before 1.16. :ghpull:`12836` |

|
189 | 189 | We have a new team member that you should see more often on the IPython |
|
190 | 190 | repository, BΕaΕΌej Michalik (@MrMino) have been doing regular contributions to |
|
191 | 191 | IPython, and spent time replying to many issues and guiding new users to the |
|
192 | 192 | codebase; they now have triage permissions to the IPython repository and we'll |
|
193 | 193 | work toward giving them more permission in the future. |

|
205 | 205 | ============ |
|
206 | 206 | |
|
207 | 207 | IPython 7.21 is the first release we have back on schedule of one release every |
|
208 | 208 | month; it contains a number of minor fixes and improvements, notably, the new |
|
209 | 209 | context command for ipdb |
|
210 | 210 | |
|
211 | 211 | |
|
212 | 212 | New "context" command in ipdb |
|
213 | 213 | ----------------------------- |
|
214 | 214 | |
|
215 | 215 | It is now possible to change the number of lines shown in the backtrace |
|
216 | 216 | information in ipdb using "context" command. :ghpull:`12826` |
|
217 | 217 | |
|
218 | 218 | (thanks @MrMino, there are other improvement from them on master). |
|
219 | 219 | |
|
220 | 220 | Other notable changes in IPython 7.21 |
|
221 | 221 | ------------------------------------- |
|
222 | 222 | |
|
223 | 223 | - Fix some issues on new osx-arm64 :ghpull:`12804`, :ghpull:`12807`. |
|
224 | 224 | - Compatibility with Xeus-Python for debugger protocol, :ghpull:`12809` |

|
236 | 236 | .. _version 720: |
|
237 | 237 | |
|
238 | 238 | IPython 7.20 |
|
239 | 239 | ============ |
|
240 | 240 | |
|
241 | 241 | IPython 7.20 is the accumulation of 3 month of work on IPython, spacing between |
|
242 | 242 | IPython release have been increased from the usual once a month for various |
|
243 | 243 | reason. |
|
244 | 244 | |
|
245 | 245 | - Mainly as I'm too busy and the effectively sole maintainer, and |
|
246 | 246 | - Second because not much changes happened before mid December. |
|
247 | 247 | |
|
248 | 248 | The main driver for this release was the new version of Jedi 0.18 breaking API; |
|
249 | 249 | which was taken care of in the master branch early in 2020 but not in 7.x as I |
|
250 | 250 | though that by now 8.0 would be out. |
|
251 | 251 | |
|
252 | 252 | The inclusion of a resolver in pip did not help and actually made things worse. |
|
253 | 253 | If usually I would have simply pinned Jedi to ``<0.18``; this is not a solution |
|
254 | 254 | anymore as now pip is free to install Jedi 0.18, and downgrade IPython. |
|
255 | 255 | |
|
256 | 256 | I'll do my best to keep the regular release, but as the 8.0-dev branch and 7.x |
|
257 | 257 | are starting to diverge this is becoming difficult in particular with my limited |
|
258 | 258 | time, so if you have any cycles to spare I'll appreciate your help to respond to |
|
259 | 259 | issues and pushing 8.0 forward. |
|
260 | 260 | |
|
261 | 261 | Here are thus some of the changes for IPython 7.20. |
|
262 | 262 | |
|
263 | 263 | - Support for PyQt5 >= 5.11 :ghpull:`12715` |
|
264 | 264 | - ``%reset`` remove imports more agressively :ghpull:`12718` |
|
265 | 265 | - fix the ``%conda`` magic :ghpull:`12739` |
|
266 | 266 | - compatibility with Jedi 0.18, and bump minimum Jedi version. :ghpull:`12793` |
|
267 | 267 | |
|
268 | 268 | |
|
269 | 269 | .. _version 719: |
|
270 | 270 | |
|
271 | 271 | IPython 7.19 |
|
272 | 272 | ============ |
|
273 | 273 | |
|
274 | 274 | IPython 7.19 accumulative two month of works, bug fixes and improvements, there |
|
275 | 275 | was exceptionally no release last month. |
|
276 | 276 | |
|
277 | 277 | - Fix to restore the ability to specify more than one extension using command |
|
278 | 278 | line flags when using traitlets 5.0 :ghpull:`12543` |
|
279 | 279 | - Docs docs formatting that make the install commands work on zsh |
|
280 | 280 | :ghpull:`12587` |
|
281 | 281 | - Always display the last frame in tracebacks even if hidden with |
|
282 | 282 | ``__tracebackhide__`` :ghpull:`12601` |
|
283 | 283 | - Avoid an issue where a callback can be registered multiple times. |
|
284 | 284 | :ghpull:`12625` |
|
285 | 285 | - Avoid an issue in debugger mode where frames changes could be lost. |
|
286 | 286 | :ghpull:`12627` |
|
287 | 287 | |
|
288 | 288 | - Never hide the frames that invoke a debugger, even if marked as hidden by |
|
289 | 289 | ``__tracebackhide__`` :ghpull:`12631` |
|
290 | 290 | - Fix calling the debugger in a recursive manner :ghpull:`12659` |
|
291 | 291 | |
|
292 | 292 | |
|
293 | 293 | A number of code changes have landed on master and we are getting close to |
|
294 | 294 | enough new features and codebase improvement that a 8.0 start to make sens. |
|
295 | 295 | For downstream packages, please start working on migrating downstream testing |
|
296 | 296 | away from iptest and using pytest, as nose will not work on Python 3.10 and we |
|
297 | 297 | will likely start removing it as a dependency for testing. |
|

|
299 | 299 | .. _version 718: |
|
300 | 300 | |
|
301 | 301 | IPython 7.18 |
|
302 | 302 | ============ |
|
303 | 303 | |
|
304 | 304 | IPython 7.18 is a minor release that mostly contains bugfixes. |
|
305 | 305 | |
|
306 | 306 | - ``CRLF`` is now handled by magics my default; solving some issues due to copy |
|
307 | 307 | pasting on windows. :ghpull:`12475` |
|
308 | 308 | |
|
309 | 309 | - Requiring pexpect ``>=4.3`` as we are Python 3.7+ only and earlier version of |
|
310 | 310 | pexpect will be incompatible. :ghpull:`12510` |
|
311 | 311 | |
|
312 | 312 | - Minimum jedi version is now 0.16. :ghpull:`12488` |
|
313 | 313 | |
|
314 | 314 | |
|
315 | 315 | |
|
316 | 316 | .. _version 717: |
|
317 | 317 | |
|
318 | 318 | IPython 7.17 |
|
319 | 319 | ============ |
|
320 | 320 | |
|
321 | 321 | IPython 7.17 brings a couple of new improvements to API and a couple of user |
|
322 | 322 | facing changes to make the terminal experience more user friendly. |
|
323 | 323 | |
|
324 | 324 | :ghpull:`12407` introduces the ability to pass extra argument to the IPython |
|
325 | 325 | debugger class; this is to help a new project from ``kmaork`` |
|
326 | 326 | (https://github.com/kmaork/madbg) to feature a fully remote debugger. |
|
327 | 327 | |
|
328 | 328 | :ghpull:`12410` finally remove support for 3.6, while the codebase is still |
|
329 | 329 | technically compatible; IPython will not install on Python 3.6. |
|
330 | 330 | |
|
331 | 331 | lots of work on the debugger and hidden frames from ``@impact27`` in |
|
332 | 332 | :ghpull:`12437`, :ghpull:`12445`, :ghpull:`12460` and in particular |
|
333 | 333 | :ghpull:`12453` which make the debug magic more robust at handling spaces. |
|
334 | 334 | |
|
335 | 335 | Biggest API addition is code transformation which is done before code execution; |
|
336 | 336 | IPython allows a number of hooks to catch non-valid Python syntax (magic, prompt |
|
337 | 337 | stripping...etc). Transformers are usually called many time; typically: |
|
338 | 338 | |
|
339 | 339 | - When trying to figure out whether the code is complete and valid (should we |
|
340 | 340 | insert a new line or execute ?) |
|
341 | 341 | - During actual code execution pass before giving the code to Python's |
|
342 | 342 | ``exec``. |
|
343 | 343 | |
|
344 | 344 | This lead to issues when transformer might have had side effects; or do external |
|
345 | 345 | queries. Starting with IPython 7.17 you can expect your transformer to be called |
|
346 | 346 | less time. |
|
347 | 347 | |
|
348 | 348 | Input transformers are now called only once in the execution path of |
|
349 | 349 | `InteractiveShell`, allowing to register transformer that potentially have side |
|
350 | 350 | effects (note that this is not recommended). Internal methods `should_run_async`, and |
|
351 | 351 | `run_cell_async` now take a recommended optional `transformed_cell`, and |
|
352 | 352 | `preprocessing_exc_tuple` parameters that will become mandatory at some point in |
|
353 | 353 | the future; that is to say cells need to be explicitly transformed to be valid |
|
354 | 354 | Python syntax ahead of trying to run them. :ghpull:`12440`; |
|
355 | 355 | |
|
356 | 356 | ``input_transformers`` can now also have an attribute ``has_side_effects`` set |
|
357 | 357 | to `True`, when this attribute is present; this will prevent the transformers |
|
358 | 358 | from being ran when IPython is trying to guess whether the user input is |
|
359 | 359 | complete. Note that this may means you will need to explicitly execute in some |
|
360 | 360 | case where your transformations are now not ran; but will not affect users with |
|
361 | 361 | no custom extensions. |

|
369 | 369 | |
|
370 | 370 | |
|
371 | 371 | The following items are new since 7.16.0:: |
|
372 | 372 | |
|
373 | 373 | + IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.get_local_scope(self, stack_depth) |
|
374 | 374 | |
|
375 | 375 | The following signatures differ since 7.16.0:: |
|
376 | 376 | |
|
377 | 377 | - IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.run_cell_async(self, raw_cell, store_history=False, silent=False, shell_futures=True) |
|
378 | 378 | + IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.run_cell_async(self, raw_cell, store_history=False, silent=False, shell_futures=True, *, transformed_cell=None, preprocessing_exc_tuple=None) |

379 | 379 | |
|
380 | 380 | - IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.should_run_async(self, raw_cell) |
|
381 | 381 | + IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.should_run_async(self, raw_cell, *, transformed_cell=None, preprocessing_exc_tuple=None) |
|

|
385 | 385 | |
|
386 | 386 | This method was added:: |

387 | 387 | |
|
388 | 388 | + IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell.get_local_scope |
|
389 | 389 | |
|
390 | 390 | Which is now also present on subclasses:: |
|
391 | 391 | |
|
392 | 392 | + IPython.terminal.embed.InteractiveShellEmbed.get_local_scope |
|
393 | 393 | + IPython.terminal.interactiveshell.TerminalInteractiveShell.get_local_scope |

|
399 | 399 | ============ |
|
400 | 400 | |
|
401 | 401 | |
|
402 | 402 | The default traceback mode will now skip frames that are marked with |
|
403 | 403 | ``__tracebackhide__ = True`` and show how many traceback frames have been |
|
404 | 404 | skipped. This can be toggled by using :magic:`xmode` with the ``--show`` or |
|
405 | 405 | ``--hide`` attribute. It will have no effect on non verbose traceback modes. |
|
406 | 406 | |
|
407 | 407 | The ipython debugger also now understands ``__tracebackhide__`` as well and will |
|
408 | 408 | skip hidden frames when displaying. Movement up and down the stack will skip the |
|
409 | 409 | hidden frames and will show how many frames were hidden. Internal IPython frames |
|
410 | 410 | are also now hidden by default. The behavior can be changed with the |
|
411 | 411 | ``skip_hidden`` while in the debugger, command and accepts "yes", "no", "true" |
|
412 | 412 | and "false" case insensitive parameters. |
|
413 | 413 | |
|
414 | 414 | |
|
415 | 415 | Misc Noticeable changes: |
|
416 | 416 | ------------------------ |
|
417 | 417 | |
|

|
438 | 438 | |
|
439 | 439 | |
|
440 | 440 | The following items are new and mostly related to understanding ``__tracebackbide__``:: |
|
441 | 441 | |
|
442 | 442 | + IPython.core.debugger.Pdb.do_down(self, arg) |
|
443 | 443 | + IPython.core.debugger.Pdb.do_skip_hidden(self, arg) |
|
444 | 444 | + IPython.core.debugger.Pdb.do_up(self, arg) |

|
460 | 460 | ============ |
|
461 | 461 | |
|
462 | 462 | IPython 7.15 brings a number of bug fixes and user facing improvements. |
|
463 | 463 | |
|
464 | 464 | Misc Noticeable changes: |

|
478 | 478 | Reproducible Build |
|
479 | 479 | ------------------ |
|
480 | 480 | |
|
481 | 481 | Starting with IPython 7.15, I am attempting to provide reproducible builds, |
|
482 | 482 | that is to say you should be able from the source tree to generate an sdist |
|
483 | 483 | and wheel that are identical byte for byte with the publish version on PyPI. |
|
484 | 484 | |
|
485 | 485 | I've only tested on a couple of machines so far and the process is relatively |
|
486 | 486 | straightforward, so this mean that IPython not only have a deterministic build |
|
487 | 487 | process, but also I have either removed, or put under control all effects of |
|
488 | 488 | the build environments on the final artifact. I encourage you to attempt the |
|
489 | 489 | build process on your machine as documented in :ref:`core_developer_guide` |
|
490 | 490 | and let me know if you do not obtain an identical artifact. |
|
491 | 491 | |
|
492 | 492 | While reproducible builds is critical to check that the supply chain of (open |
|
493 | 493 | source) software has not been compromised, it can also help to speedup many |
|
494 | 494 | of the build processes in large environment (conda, apt...) by allowing |
|
495 | 495 | better caching of intermediate build steps. |
|
496 | 496 | |
|
497 | 497 | Learn more on `<https://reproducible-builds.org/>`_. `Reflections on trusting |
|
498 | 498 | trust <https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/358198.358210>`_ is also one of the |
|
499 | 499 | cornerstone and recommended reads on this subject. |
|
500 | 500 | |
|
501 | 501 | .. note:: |
|
502 | 502 | |
|
503 | 503 | The build commit from which the sdist is generated is also `signed |
|
504 | 504 | <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature>`_, so you should be able to |
|
505 | 505 | check it has not been compromised, and the git repository is a `merkle-tree |
|
506 | 506 | <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle_tree>`_, you can check the consistency |
|
507 | 507 | with `git-fsck <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-fsck>`_ which you likely `want |
|
508 | 508 | to enable by default |
|

511 | 511 | NEP29: Last version to support Python 3.6 |
|
512 | 512 | ----------------------------------------- |
|
513 | 513 | |
|
514 | 514 | IPython 7.15 will be the Last IPython version to officially support Python |
|
515 | 515 | 3.6, as stated by `NumPy Enhancement Proposal 29 |
|
516 | 516 | <https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html>`_. Starting with |
|
517 | 517 | next minor version of IPython I may stop testing on Python 3.6 and may stop |
|
518 | 518 | publishing release artifacts that install on Python 3.6 |
|
519 | 519 | |
|
520 | 520 | Highlighted features |
|
521 | 521 | -------------------- |
|
522 | 522 | |
|
523 | 523 | Highlighted features are not new, but seem to not be widely known, this |
|
524 | 524 | section will help you discover in more narrative form what you can do with |
|
525 | 525 | IPython. |
|
526 | 526 | |
|
527 | 527 | Increase Tab Completion Menu Height |
|
528 | 528 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
529 | 529 | |
|
530 | 530 | In terminal IPython it is possible to increase the hight of the tab-completion |
|
531 | 531 | menu. To do so set the value of |
|
532 | 532 | :configtrait:`TerminalInteractiveShell.space_for_menu`, this will reserve more |
|
533 | 533 | space at the bottom of the screen for various kind of menus in IPython including |
|
534 | 534 | tab completion and searching in history. |
|
535 | 535 | |
|
536 | 536 | Autoformat Code in the terminal |
|
537 | 537 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
538 | 538 | |
|
539 | 539 | If you have a preferred code formatter, you can configure IPython to |
|
540 | 540 | reformat your code. Set the value of |
|
541 | 541 | :configtrait:`TerminalInteractiveShell.autoformatter` to for example ``'black'`` |
|
542 | 542 | and IPython will auto format your code when possible. |

547 | 547 | IPython 7.14 |
|
548 | 548 | ============ |
|
549 | 549 | |
|
550 | 550 | IPython 7.14 is a minor release that fix a couple of bugs and prepare |
|
551 | 551 | compatibility with new or future versions of some libraries. |
|
552 | 552 | |
|
553 | 553 | Important changes: |
|
554 | 554 | ------------------ |
|
555 | 555 | |
|
556 | 556 | - Fix compatibility with Sphinx 3+ :ghpull:`12235` |
|
557 | 557 | - Remove deprecated matplotlib parameter usage, compatibility with matplotlib |
|
558 | 558 | 3.3+ :`122250` |
|
559 | 559 | |
|
560 | 560 | Misc Changes |
|
561 | 561 | ------------ |
|
562 | 562 | |
|
563 | 563 | - set ``.py`` extension when editing current buffer in vi/emacs. :ghpull:`12167` |
|
564 | 564 | - support for unicode identifiers in ``?``/``??`` :ghpull:`12208` |
|
565 | 565 | - add extra options to the ``Video`` Rich objects :ghpull:`12212` |
|
566 | 566 | - add pretty-printing to ``SimpleNamespace`` :ghpull:`12230` |
|
567 | 567 | |
|
568 | 568 | IPython.core.debugger.Pdb is now interruptible |
|
569 | 569 | ---------------------------------------------- |
|
570 | 570 | |
|
571 | 571 | A ``KeyboardInterrupt`` will now interrupt IPython's extended debugger, in order to make Jupyter able to interrupt it. (:ghpull:`12168`) |
|
572 | 572 | |
|
573 | 573 | Video HTML attributes |
|
574 | 574 | --------------------- |
|
575 | 575 | |
|
576 | 576 | Add an option to `IPython.display.Video` to change the attributes of the HTML display of the video (:ghpull:`12212`) |
|
577 | 577 | |
|
578 | 578 | |
|
579 | 579 | Pending deprecated imports |
|
580 | 580 | -------------------------- |
|
581 | 581 | |
|
582 | 582 | Many object present in ``IPython.core.display`` are there for internal use only, |
|
583 | 583 | and should already been imported from ``IPython.display`` by users and external |
|
584 | 584 | libraries. Trying to import those from ``IPython.core.display`` is still possible |
|
585 | 585 | but will trigger a |
|
586 | 586 | deprecation warning in later versions of IPython and will become errors in the |
|
587 | 587 | future. |
|
588 | 588 | |
|
589 | 589 | This will simplify compatibility with other Python kernels (like Xeus-Python), |
|
590 | 590 | and simplify code base. |

|
622 | 622 | IPython 7.12 is a minor update that mostly brings code cleanup, removal of |
|
623 | 623 | longtime deprecated function and a couple update to documentation cleanup as well. |
|
624 | 624 | |
|
625 | 625 | Notable changes are the following: |

|
637 | 637 | ============== |
|
638 | 638 | |
|
639 | 639 | A couple of deprecated functions (no-op) have been reintroduces in py3compat as |
|
640 | 640 | Cython was still relying on them, and will be removed in a couple of versions. |

|
645 | 645 | ============ |
|
646 | 646 | |
|
647 | 647 | IPython 7.11 received a couple of compatibility fixes and code cleanup. |
|
648 | 648 | |
|
649 | 649 | A number of function in the ``py3compat`` have been removed; a number of types |
|
650 | 650 | in the IPython code base are now non-ambiguous and now always ``unicode`` |
|
651 | 651 | instead of ``Union[Unicode,bytes]``; many of the relevant code path have thus |
|
652 | 652 | been simplified/cleaned and types annotation added. |
|
653 | 653 | |
|
654 | 654 | IPython support several verbosity level from exceptions. ``xmode plain`` now |
|
655 | 655 | support chained exceptions. :ghpull:`11999` |
|
656 | 656 | |
|
657 | 657 | We are starting to remove ``shell=True`` in some usages of subprocess. While not directly |
|
658 | 658 | a security issue (as IPython is made to run arbitrary code anyway) it is not good |
|
659 | 659 | practice and we'd like to show the example. :ghissue:`12023`. This discussion |
|
660 | 660 | was started by ``@mschwager`` thanks to a new auditing tool they are working on |
|
661 | 661 | with duo-labs (`dlint <https://github.com/duo-labs/dlint>`_). |

|
667 | 667 | This is likely the last release from the 7.x series that will see new feature. |
|
668 | 668 | The master branch will soon accept large code changes and thrilling new |
|
669 | 669 | features; the 7.x branch will only start to accept critical bug fixes, and |

|
673 | 673 | |
|
674 | 674 | IPython 7.10.2 |
|
675 | 675 | ============== |
|
676 | 676 | |
|
677 | 677 | IPython 7.10.2 fix a couple of extra incompatibility between IPython, ipdb, |
|
678 | 678 | asyncio and Prompt Toolkit 3. |
|
679 | 679 | |
|
680 | 680 | .. _version 7101: |
|
681 | 681 | |
|
682 | 682 | IPython 7.10.1 |
|
683 | 683 | ============== |
|
684 | 684 | |
|
685 | 685 | IPython 7.10.1 fix a couple of incompatibilities with Prompt toolkit 3 (please |
|
686 | 686 | update Prompt toolkit to 3.0.2 at least), and fixes some interaction with |
|
687 | 687 | headless IPython. |
|
688 | 688 | |
|
689 | 689 | .. _version 7100: |
|
690 | 690 | |
|
691 | 691 | IPython 7.10.0 |
|
692 | 692 | ============== |
|
693 | 693 | |
|
694 | 694 | IPython 7.10 is the first double digit minor release in the last decade, and |
|
695 | 695 | first since the release of IPython 1.0, previous double digit minor release was |
|
696 | 696 | in August 2009. |
|
697 | 697 | |
|
698 | 698 | We've been trying to give you regular release on the last Friday of every month |
|
699 | 699 | for a guaranty of rapid access to bug fixes and new features. |
|
700 | 700 | |
|
701 | 701 | Unlike the previous first few releases that have seen only a couple of code |
|
702 | 702 | changes, 7.10 bring a number of changes, new features and bugfixes. |
|
703 | 703 | |
|
704 | 704 | Stop Support for Python 3.5 β Adopt NEP 29 |
|
705 | 705 | ------------------------------------------ |
|
706 | 706 | |
|
707 | 707 | IPython has decided to follow the informational `NEP 29 |
|
708 | 708 | <https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html>`_ which layout a clear |
|
709 | 709 | policy as to which version of (C)Python and NumPy are supported. |
|
710 | 710 | |
|
711 | 711 | We thus dropped support for Python 3.5, and cleaned up a number of code path |
|
712 | 712 | that were Python-version dependant. If you are on 3.5 or earlier pip should |
|
713 | 713 | automatically give you the latest compatible version of IPython so you do not |
|
714 | 714 | need to pin to a given version. |
|
715 | 715 | |
|
716 | 716 | Support for Prompt Toolkit 3.0 |
|
717 | 717 | ------------------------------ |
|
718 | 718 | |
|
719 | 719 | Prompt Toolkit 3.0 was release a week before IPython 7.10 and introduces a few |
|
720 | 720 | breaking changes. We believe IPython 7.10 should be compatible with both Prompt |
|
721 | 721 | Toolkit 2.x and 3.x, though it has not been extensively tested with 3.x so |
|
722 | 722 | please report any issues. |
|
723 | 723 | |
|
724 | 724 | |
|
725 | 725 | Prompt Rendering Performance improvements |
|
726 | 726 | ----------------------------------------- |
|
727 | 727 | |
|
728 | 728 | Pull Request :ghpull:`11933` introduced an optimisation in the prompt rendering |
|
729 | 729 | logic that should decrease the resource usage of IPython when using the |
|
730 | 730 | _default_ configuration but could potentially introduce a regression of |
|
731 | 731 | functionalities if you are using a custom prompt. |
|
732 | 732 | |
|
733 | 733 | We know assume if you haven't changed the default keybindings that the prompt |
|
734 | 734 | **will not change** during the duration of your input β which is for example |
|
735 | 735 | not true when using vi insert mode that switches between `[ins]` and `[nor]` |
|
736 | 736 | for the current mode. |
|
737 | 737 | |
|
738 | 738 | If you are experiencing any issue let us know. |
|
739 | 739 | |
|
740 | 740 | Code autoformatting |
|
741 | 741 | ------------------- |
|
742 | 742 | |
|
743 | 743 | The IPython terminal can now auto format your code just before entering a new |
|
744 | 744 | line or executing a command. To do so use the |
|
745 | 745 | ``--TerminalInteractiveShell.autoformatter`` option and set it to ``'black'``; |
|
746 | 746 | if black is installed IPython will use black to format your code when possible. |
|
747 | 747 | |
|
748 | 748 | IPython cannot always properly format your code; in particular it will |
|
749 | 749 | auto formatting with *black* will only work if: |
|
750 | 750 | |
|
751 | 751 | - Your code does not contains magics or special python syntax. |
|
752 | 752 | |
|
753 | 753 | - There is no code after your cursor. |
|
754 | 754 | |
|
755 | 755 | The Black API is also still in motion; so this may not work with all versions of |
|
756 | 756 | black. |
|
757 | 757 | |
|
758 | 758 | It should be possible to register custom formatter, though the API is till in |
|
759 | 759 | flux. |
|
760 | 760 | |
|
761 | 761 | Arbitrary Mimetypes Handing in Terminal (Aka inline images in terminal) |
|
762 | 762 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
763 | 763 | |
|
764 | 764 | When using IPython terminal it is now possible to register function to handle |
|
765 | 765 | arbitrary mimetypes. While rendering non-text based representation was possible in |
|
766 | 766 | many jupyter frontend; it was not possible in terminal IPython, as usually |
|
767 | 767 | terminal are limited to displaying text. As many terminal these days provide |
|
768 | 768 | escape sequences to display non-text; bringing this loved feature to IPython CLI |
|
769 | 769 | made a lot of sens. This functionality will not only allow inline images; but |
|
770 | 770 | allow opening of external program; for example ``mplayer`` to "display" sound |
|
771 | 771 | files. |
|
772 | 772 | |
|
773 | 773 | So far only the hooks necessary for this are in place, but no default mime |
|
774 | 774 | renderers added; so inline images will only be available via extensions. We will |
|
775 | 775 | progressively enable these features by default in the next few releases, and |
|
776 | 776 | contribution is welcomed. |
|
777 | 777 | |
|
778 | 778 | We welcome any feedback on the API. See :ref:`shell_mimerenderer` for more |
|
779 | 779 | informations. |
|
780 | 780 | |
|
781 | 781 | This is originally based on work form in :ghpull:`10610` from @stephanh42 |
|
782 | 782 | started over two years ago, and still a lot need to be done. |

825 | 825 | .. _version 790: |
|
826 | 826 | |
|
827 | 827 | IPython 7.9.0 |
|
828 | 828 | ============= |
|
829 | 829 | |
|
830 | 830 | IPython 7.9 is a small release with a couple of improvement and bug fixes. |
|
831 | 831 | |
|
832 | 832 | - Xterm terminal title should be restored on exit :ghpull:`11910` |
|
833 | 833 | - special variables ``_``,``__``, ``___`` are not set anymore when cache size |
|
834 | 834 | is 0 or less. :ghpull:`11877` |
|
835 | 835 | - Autoreload should have regained some speed by using a new heuristic logic to |
|
836 | 836 | find all objects needing reload. This should avoid large objects traversal |
|
837 | 837 | like pandas dataframes. :ghpull:`11876` |
|
838 | 838 | - Get ready for Python 4. :ghpull:`11874` |
|
839 | 839 | - `%env` Magic now has heuristic to hide potentially sensitive values :ghpull:`11896` |
|
840 | 840 | |
|
841 | 841 | This is a small release despite a number of Pull Request Pending that need to |
|
842 | 842 | be reviewed/worked on. Many of the core developers have been busy outside of |
|
843 | 843 | IPython/Jupyter and we thanks all contributor for their patience; we'll work on |
|
844 | 844 | these as soon as we have time. |

|
850 | 850 | ============= |
|
851 | 851 | |
|
852 | 852 | IPython 7.8.0 contain a few bugfix and 2 new APIs: |
|
853 | 853 | |
|
854 | 854 | - Enable changing the font color for LaTeX rendering :ghpull:`11840` |
|
855 | 855 | - and Re-Expose some PDB API (see below) |
|
856 | 856 | |
|
857 | 857 | Expose Pdb API |
|
858 | 858 | -------------- |
|
859 | 859 | |
|
860 | 860 | Expose the built-in ``pdb.Pdb`` API. ``Pdb`` constructor arguments are generically |
|
861 | 861 | exposed, regardless of python version. |
|
862 | 862 | Newly exposed arguments: |
|
863 | 863 | |
|
864 | 864 | - ``skip`` - Python 3.1+ |
|
865 | 865 | - ``nosiginnt`` - Python 3.2+ |
|
866 | 866 | - ``readrc`` - Python 3.6+ |
|
867 | 867 | |
|
868 | 868 | Try it out:: |
|
869 | 869 | |
|
870 | 870 | from IPython.terminal.debugger import TerminalPdb |
|
871 | 871 | pdb = TerminalPdb(skip=["skipthismodule"]) |

|
878 | 878 | IPython 7.7.0 |
|
879 | 879 | ============= |
|
880 | 880 | |
|
881 | 881 | IPython 7.7.0 contain multiple bug fixes and documentation updates; Here are a |
|
882 | 882 | few of the outstanding issue fixed: |
|
883 | 883 | |
|
884 | 884 | - Fix a bug introduced in 7.6 where the ``%matplotlib`` magic would fail on |
|
885 | 885 | previously acceptable arguments :ghpull:`11814`. |
|
886 | 886 | - Fix the manage location on freebsd :ghpull:`11808`. |
|
887 | 887 | - Fix error message about aliases after ``%reset`` call in ipykernel |
|
888 | 888 | :ghpull:`11806` |
|
889 | 889 | - Fix Duplication completions in emacs :ghpull:`11803` |
|
890 | 890 | |
|
891 | 891 | We are planning to adopt `NEP29 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14086>`_ |
|
892 | 892 | (still currently in draft) which may make this minor version of IPython the |
|
893 | 893 | last one to support Python 3.5 and will make the code base more aggressive |
|
894 | 894 | toward removing compatibility with older versions of Python. |
|
895 | 895 | |
|
896 | 896 | GitHub now support to give only "Triage" permissions to users; if you'd like to |
|
897 | 897 | help close stale issues and labels issues please reach to us with your GitHub |
|
898 | 898 | Username and we'll add you to the triage team. It is a great way to start |
|
899 | 899 | contributing and a path toward getting commit rights. |

|
905 | 905 | |
|
906 | 906 | IPython 7.6.1 contain a critical bugfix in the ``%timeit`` magic, which would |
|
907 | 907 | crash on some inputs as a side effect of :ghpull:`11716`. See :ghpull:`11812` |

|
913 | 913 | ============= |
|
914 | 914 | |
|
915 | 915 | IPython 7.6.0 contains a couple of bug fixes and number of small features |
|
916 | 916 | additions as well as some compatibility with the current development version of |
|
917 | 917 | Python 3.8. |
|
918 | 918 | |
|
919 | 919 | - Add a ``-l`` option to :magic:`psearch` to list the available search |
|
920 | 920 | types. :ghpull:`11672` |
|
921 | 921 | - Support ``PathLike`` for ``DisplayObject`` and ``Image``. :ghpull:`11764` |
|
922 | 922 | - Configurability of timeout in the test suite for slow platforms. |
|
923 | 923 | :ghpull:`11756` |
|
924 | 924 | - Accept any casing for matplotlib backend. :ghpull:`121748` |
|
925 | 925 | - Properly skip test that requires numpy to be installed :ghpull:`11723` |
|
926 | 926 | - More support for Python 3.8 and positional only arguments (pep570) |
|
927 | 927 | :ghpull:`11720` |
|
928 | 928 | - Unicode names for the completion are loaded lazily on first use which |
|
929 | 929 | should decrease startup time. :ghpull:`11693` |
|
930 | 930 | - Autoreload now update the types of reloaded objects; this for example allow |
|
931 | 931 | pickling of reloaded objects. :ghpull:`11644` |
|
932 | 932 | - Fix a bug where ``%%time`` magic would suppress cell output. :ghpull:`11716` |
|
933 | 933 | |

934 | 934 | |
|
935 | 935 | Prepare migration to pytest (instead of nose) for testing |
|
936 | 936 | --------------------------------------------------------- |
|
937 | 937 | |
|
938 | 938 | Most of the work between 7.5 and 7.6 was to prepare the migration from our |
|
939 | 939 | testing framework to pytest. Most of the test suite should now work by simply |
|
940 | 940 | issuing ``pytest`` from the root of the repository. |
|
941 | 941 | |
|
942 | 942 | The migration to pytest is just at its beginning. Many of our test still rely |
|
943 | 943 | on IPython-specific plugins for nose using pytest (doctest using IPython syntax |
|
944 | 944 | is one example of this where test appear as "passing", while no code has been |
|
945 | 945 | ran). Many test also need to be updated like ``yield-test`` to be properly |
|
946 | 946 | parametrized tests. |
|
947 | 947 | |
|
948 | 948 | Migration to pytest allowed me to discover a number of issues in our test |
|
949 | 949 | suite; which was hiding a number of subtle issues βΒ or not actually running |
|
950 | 950 | some of the tests in our test suite β I have thus corrected many of those; like |
|
951 | 951 | improperly closed resources; or used of deprecated features. I also made use of |
|
952 | 952 | the ``pytest --durations=...`` to find some of our slowest test and speed them |
|
953 | 953 | up (our test suite can now be up to 10% faster). Pytest as also a variety of |
|
954 | 954 | plugins and flags which will make the code quality of IPython and the testing |
|
955 | 955 | experience better. |

972 | 972 | IPython 7.5.0 consist mostly of bug-fixes, and documentation updates, with one |
|
973 | 973 | minor new feature. The `Audio` display element can now be assigned an element |
|
974 | 974 | id when displayed in browser. See :ghpull:`11670` |
|
975 | 975 | |
|
976 | 976 | The major outstanding bug fix correct a change of behavior that was introduce |
|
977 | 977 | in 7.4.0 where some cell magics would not be able to access or modify global |
|
978 | 978 | scope when using the ``@needs_local_scope`` decorator. This was typically |
|
979 | 979 | encountered with the ``%%time`` and ``%%timeit`` magics. See :ghissue:`11659` |
|
980 | 980 | and :ghpull:`11698`. |

985 | 985 | ============= |
|
986 | 986 | |
|
987 | 987 | Unicode name completions |
|
988 | 988 | ------------------------ |
|
989 | 989 | |
|
990 | 990 | Previously, we provided completion for a unicode name with its relative symbol. |
|
991 | 991 | With this, now IPython provides complete suggestions to unicode name symbols. |
|
992 | 992 | |
|
993 | 993 | As on the PR, if user types ``\LAT<tab>``, IPython provides a list of |
|
994 | 994 | possible completions. In this case, it would be something like:: |
|
995 | 995 | |
|
996 | 996 | 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A', |
|
997 | 997 | 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B', |
|
998 | 998 | 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C', |
|
999 | 999 | 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D', |
|
1000 | 1000 | .... |
|
1001 | 1001 | |
|
1002 | 1002 | This help to type unicode character that do not have short latex aliases, and |
|
1003 | 1003 | have long unicode names. for example ``Ν°``, ``\GREEK CAPITAL LETTER HETA``. |
|
1004 | 1004 | |
|
1005 | 1005 | This feature was contributed by Luciana Marques :ghpull:`11583`. |
|
1006 | 1006 | |
|
1007 | 1007 | Make audio normalization optional |
|
1008 | 1008 | --------------------------------- |
|
1009 | 1009 | |
|
1010 | 1010 | Added 'normalize' argument to `IPython.display.Audio`. This argument applies |
|
1011 | 1011 | when audio data is given as an array of samples. The default of `normalize=True` |
|
1012 | 1012 | preserves prior behavior of normalizing the audio to the maximum possible range. |
|
1013 | 1013 | Setting to `False` disables normalization. |
|
1014 | 1014 | |

|
1017 | 1017 | ------------- |
|
1018 | 1018 | |
|
1019 | 1019 | - Fix improper acceptation of ``return`` outside of functions. :ghpull:`11641`. |
|
1020 | 1020 | - Fixed PyQt 5.11 backwards incompatibility causing sip import failure. |

1029 | 1029 | ============= |
|
1030 | 1030 | |
|
1031 | 1031 | .. _whatsnew720: |
|
1032 | 1032 | |
|
1033 | 1033 | IPython 7.3.0 bring several bug fixes and small improvements that you will |
|
1034 | 1034 | described bellow. |
|
1035 | 1035 | |
|
1036 | 1036 | The biggest change to this release is the implementation of the ``%conda`` and |
|
1037 | 1037 | ``%pip`` magics, that will attempt to install packages in the **current |
|
1038 | 1038 | environment**. You may still need to restart your interpreter or kernel for the |
|
1039 | 1039 | change to be taken into account, but it should simplify installation of packages |
|
1040 | 1040 | into remote environment. Installing using pip/conda from the command line is |
|
1041 | 1041 | still the prefer method. |
|
1042 | 1042 | |
|
1043 | 1043 | The ``%pip`` magic was already present, but was only printing a warning; now it |
|
1044 | 1044 | will actually forward commands to pip. |
|
1045 | 1045 | |
|
1046 | 1046 | Misc bug fixes and improvements: |
|
1047 | 1047 | |
|
1048 | 1048 | - Compatibility with Python 3.8. |
|
1049 | 1049 | - Do not expand shell variable in execution magics, and added the |
|
1050 | 1050 | ``no_var_expand`` decorator for magic requiring a similar functionality |
|
1051 | 1051 | :ghpull:`11516` |
|
1052 | 1052 | - Add ``%pip`` and ``%conda`` magic :ghpull:`11524` |
|
1053 | 1053 | - Re-initialize posix aliases after a ``%reset`` :ghpull:`11528` |
|
1054 | 1054 | - Allow the IPython command line to run ``*.ipynb`` files :ghpull:`11529` |
|
1055 | 1055 | |
|
1056 | 1056 | IPython 7.2.0 |
|
1057 | 1057 | ============= |
|
1058 | 1058 | |
|
1059 | 1059 | IPython 7.2.0 brings minor bugfixes, improvements, and new configuration options: |
|
1060 | 1060 | |
|
1061 | 1061 | - Fix a bug preventing PySide2 GUI integration from working :ghpull:`11464` |
|
1062 | 1062 | - Run CI on Mac OS ! :ghpull:`11471` |
|
1063 | 1063 | - Fix IPython "Demo" mode. :ghpull:`11498` |
|
1064 | 1064 | - Fix ``%run`` magic with path in name :ghpull:`11499` |
|
1065 | 1065 | - Fix: add CWD to sys.path *after* stdlib :ghpull:`11502` |
|
1066 | 1066 | - Better rendering of signatures, especially long ones. :ghpull:`11505` |
|
1067 | 1067 | - Re-enable jedi by default if it's installed :ghpull:`11506` |
|
1068 | 1068 | - Add New ``minimal`` exception reporting mode (useful for educational purpose). See :ghpull:`11509` |
|
1069 | 1069 | |
|
1070 | 1070 | |
|
1071 | 1071 | Added ability to show subclasses when using pinfo and other utilities |
|
1072 | 1072 | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
1073 | 1073 | |
|
1074 | 1074 | When using ``?``/``??`` on a class, IPython will now list the first 10 subclasses. |
|
1075 | 1075 | |
|
1076 | 1076 | Special Thanks to Chris Mentzel of the Moore Foundation for this feature. Chris |
|
1077 | 1077 | is one of the people who played a critical role in IPython/Jupyter getting |
|
1078 | 1078 | funding. |
|
1079 | 1079 | |
|
1080 | 1080 | We are grateful for all the help Chris has given us over the years, |
|
1081 | 1081 | and we're now proud to have code contributed by Chris in IPython. |
|
1082 | 1082 | |
|
1083 | 1083 | OSMagics.cd_force_quiet configuration option |
|
1084 | 1084 | -------------------------------------------- |
|
1085 | 1085 | |
|
1086 | 1086 | You can set this option to force the %cd magic to behave as if ``-q`` was passed: |
|
1087 | 1087 | :: |
|
1088 | 1088 | |
|
1089 | 1089 | In [1]: cd / |
|
1090 | 1090 | / |
|
1091 | 1091 | |
|
1092 | 1092 | In [2]: %config OSMagics.cd_force_quiet = True |

1098 | 1098 | See :ghpull:`11491` |
|
1099 | 1099 | |
|
1100 | 1100 | In vi editing mode, whether the prompt includes the current vi mode can now be configured |
|
1101 | 1101 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
1102 | 1102 | |
|
1103 | 1103 | Set the ``TerminalInteractiveShell.prompt_includes_vi_mode`` to a boolean value |
|
1104 | 1104 | (default: True) to control this feature. See :ghpull:`11492` |

|
1109 | 1109 | ============= |
|
1110 | 1110 | |
|
1111 | 1111 | IPython 7.1.0 is the first minor release after 7.0.0 and mostly brings fixes to |
|
1112 | 1112 | new features, internal refactoring, and fixes for regressions that happened during the 6.x->7.x |
|
1113 | 1113 | transition. It also brings **Compatibility with Python 3.7.1**, as we're |
|
1114 | 1114 | unwillingly relying on a bug in CPython. |
|
1115 | 1115 | |
|
1116 | 1116 | New Core Dev: |
|
1117 | 1117 | |
|
1118 | 1118 | - We welcome Jonathan Slenders to the commiters. Jonathan has done a fantastic |
|
1119 | 1119 | work on prompt_toolkit, and we'd like to recognise his impact by giving him |
|
1120 | 1120 | commit rights. :ghissue:`11397` |
|
1121 | 1121 | |
|
1122 | 1122 | Notable Changes |

1127 | 1127 | |
|
1128 | 1128 | - Restore functionality and documentation of the **sphinx directive**, which |
|
1129 | 1129 | is now stricter (fail on error by daefault), has new configuration options, |
|
1130 | 1130 | has a brand new documentation page :ref:`ipython_directive` (which needs |
|
1131 | 1131 | some cleanup). It is also now *tested* so we hope to have less regressions. |
|
1132 | 1132 | :ghpull:`11402` |
|
1133 | 1133 | |
|
1134 | 1134 | - ``IPython.display.Video`` now supports ``width`` and ``height`` arguments, |

|
1136 | 1136 | width and height. :ghpull:`11353` |
|
1137 | 1137 | |
|
1138 | 1138 | - Warn when using ``HTML('<iframe>')`` instead of ``IFrame`` :ghpull:`11350` |

1140 | 1140 | - Allow Dynamic switching of editing mode between vi/emacs and show |
|
1141 | 1141 | normal/input mode in prompt when using vi. :ghpull:`11390`. Use ``%config |
|
1142 | 1142 | TerminalInteractiveShell.editing_mode = 'vi'`` or ``%config |
|
1143 | 1143 | TerminalInteractiveShell.editing_mode = 'emacs'`` to dynamically switch |
|
1144 | 1144 | between modes. |
|
1145 | 1145 | |
|
1146 | 1146 | |

|
1170 | 1170 | |
|
1171 | 1171 | Notable Internals improvements: |
|
1172 | 1172 | |
|
1173 | 1173 | - Use of ``os.scandir`` (Python 3 only) to speed up some file system operations. |
|

|
1179 | 1179 | Many thanks to all the contributors and in particular to ``bartskowron`` and |
|
1180 | 1180 | ``tonyfast`` who handled some pretty complicated bugs in the input machinery. We |
|
1181 | 1181 | had a number of first time contributors and maybe hacktoberfest participants that |
|
1182 | 1182 | made significant contributions and helped us free some time to focus on more |
|
1183 | 1183 | complicated bugs. |

|
1189 | 1189 | Unicode Completion update |
|
1190 | 1190 | ------------------------- |
|
1191 | 1191 | |
|
1192 | 1192 | In IPython 7.1 the Unicode completion map has been updated and synchronized with |
|
1193 | 1193 | the Julia language. |
|
1194 | 1194 | |
|
1195 | 1195 | Added and removed character characters: |
|
1196 | 1196 | |
|
1197 | 1197 | ``\jmath`` (``Θ·``), ``\\underleftrightarrow`` (U+034D, combining) have been |
|
1198 | 1198 | added, while ``\\textasciicaron`` have been removed |
|
1199 | 1199 | |
|
1200 | 1200 | Some sequences have seen their prefix removed: |
|
1201 | 1201 | |
|
1202 | 1202 | - 6 characters ``\text...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\...<tab>`` directly, |
|
1203 | 1203 | - 45 characters ``\Elz...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\...<tab>`` directly, |
|
1204 | 1204 | - 65 characters ``\B...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\...<tab>`` directly, |
|
1205 | 1205 | - 450 characters ``\m...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\...<tab>`` directly, |
|
1206 | 1206 | |
|
1207 | 1207 | Some sequences have seen their prefix shortened: |
|
1208 | 1208 | |
|
1209 | 1209 | - 5 characters ``\mitBbb...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\bbi...<tab>`` directly, |
|
1210 | 1210 | - 52 characters ``\mit...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\i...<tab>`` directly, |
|
1211 | 1211 | - 216 characters ``\mbfit...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\bi...<tab>`` directly, |
|
1212 | 1212 | - 222 characters ``\mbf...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\b...<tab>`` directly, |
|
1213 | 1213 | |
|
1214 | 1214 | A couple of characters had their sequence simplified: |
|
1215 | 1215 | |
|
1216 | 1216 | - ``Γ°``, type ``\dh<tab>``, instead of ``\eth<tab>`` |
|
1217 | 1217 | - ``Δ§``, type ``\hbar<tab>``, instead of ``\Elzxh<tab>`` |
|
1218 | 1218 | - ``ΙΈ``, type ``\ltphi<tab>``, instead of ``\textphi<tab>`` |
|
1219 | 1219 | - ``Ο΄``, type ``\varTheta<tab>``, instead of ``\textTheta<tab>`` |
|
1220 | 1220 | - ``β``, type ``\eulermascheroni<tab>``, instead of ``\Eulerconst<tab>`` |
|
1221 | 1221 | - ``β``, type ``\planck<tab>``, instead of ``\Planckconst<tab>`` |
|
1222 | 1222 | |
|
1223 | 1223 | - U+0336 (COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY), type ``\strike<tab>``, instead of ``\Elzbar<tab>``. |
|
1224 | 1224 | |
|
1225 | 1225 | A couple of sequences have been updated: |
|
1226 | 1226 | |
|
1227 | 1227 | - ``\varepsilon`` now gives ``Ι`` (GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON) instead of ``Ξ΅`` (GREEK LUNATE EPSILON SYMBOL), |
|
1228 | 1228 | - ``\underbar`` now gives U+0331 (COMBINING MACRON BELOW) instead of U+0332 (COMBINING LOW LINE). |

1233 | 1233 | IPython 7.0.0 |
|
1234 | 1234 | ============= |
|
1235 | 1235 | |
|
1236 | 1236 | Released Thursday September 27th, 2018 |
|
1237 | 1237 | |
|
1238 | 1238 | IPython 7 includes major feature improvements. |
|
1239 | 1239 | This is also the second major version of IPython to support only |
|
1240 | 1240 | Python 3 βΒ starting at Python 3.4. Python 2 is still community-supported |
|
1241 | 1241 | on the bugfix only 5.x branch, but we remind you that Python 2 "end of life" |
|
1242 | 1242 | is on Jan 1st 2020. |
|
1243 | 1243 | |
|
1244 | 1244 | We were able to backport bug fixes to the 5.x branch thanks to our backport bot which |
|
1245 | 1245 | backported more than `70 Pull-Requests |
|
1246 | 1246 | <https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pulls?page=3&q=is%3Apr+sort%3Aupdated-desc+author%3Aapp%2Fmeeseeksdev++5.x&utf8=%E2%9C%93>`_, but there are still many PRs that required manual work. This is an area of the project where you can easily contribute by looking for `PRs that still need manual backport <https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues?q=label%3A%22Still+Needs+Manual+Backport%22+is%3Aclosed+sort%3Aupdated-desc>`_ |
|
1247 | 1247 | |
|
1248 | 1248 | The IPython 6.x branch will likely not see any further release unless critical |
|
1249 | 1249 | bugs are found. |
|
1250 | 1250 | |
|
1251 | 1251 | Make sure you have pip > 9.0 before upgrading. You should be able to update by running: |
|
1252 | 1252 | |
|
1253 | 1253 | .. code:: |
|
1254 | 1254 | |
|
1255 | 1255 | pip install ipython --upgrade |
|
1256 | 1256 | |
|
1257 | 1257 | .. only:: ipydev |
|
1258 | 1258 | |
|
1259 | 1259 | If you are trying to install or update an ``alpha``, ``beta``, or ``rc`` |
|
1260 | 1260 | version, use pip ``--pre`` flag. |
|

|
1276 | 1276 | ------------------ |
|
1277 | 1277 | |
|
1278 | 1278 | IPython 7.0+ now uses ``prompt_toolkit 2.0``. If you still need to use an earlier |
|
1279 | 1279 | ``prompt_toolkit`` version, you may need to pin IPython to ``<7.0``. |

|
1282 | 1282 | --------------------------- |
|
1283 | 1283 | |
|
1284 | 1284 | Staring with IPython 7.0 on Python 3.6+, IPython can automatically ``await`` |
|
1285 | 1285 | top level code. You should not need to access an event loop or runner |
|
1286 | 1286 | yourself. To learn more, read the :ref:`autoawait` section of our docs, see |
|
1287 | 1287 | :ghpull:`11265`, or try the following code:: |

1308 | 1308 | Async integration is experimental code, behavior may change or be removed |
|
1309 | 1309 | between Python and IPython versions without warnings. |
|
1310 | 1310 | |
|
1311 | 1311 | Integration is by default with `asyncio`, but other libraries can be configured -- |
|
1312 | 1312 | like ``curio`` or ``trio`` -- to improve concurrency in the REPL:: |

|
1341 | 1341 | Asynchronous code in a Notebook interface or any other frontend using the |
|
1342 | 1342 | Jupyter Protocol will require further updates to the IPykernel package. |
|
1343 | 1343 | |
|
1344 | 1344 | Non-Asynchronous code |
|
1345 | 1345 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
1346 | 1346 | |
|
1347 | 1347 | As the internal API of IPython is now asynchronous, IPython needs to run under |
|
1348 | 1348 | an event loop. In order to allow many workflows, (like using the :magic:`%run` |
|
1349 | 1349 | magic, or copy-pasting code that explicitly starts/stop event loop), when |
|
1350 | 1350 | top-level code is detected as not being asynchronous, IPython code is advanced |
|
1351 | 1351 | via a pseudo-synchronous runner, and may not advance pending tasks. |
|
1352 | 1352 | |
|
1353 | 1353 | Change to Nested Embed |
|
1354 | 1354 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
1355 | 1355 | |
|
1356 | 1356 | The introduction of the ability to run async code had some effect on the |
|
1357 | 1357 | ``IPython.embed()`` API. By default, embed will not allow you to run asynchronous |
|
1358 | 1358 | code unless an event loop is specified. |
|
1359 | 1359 | |
|
1360 | 1360 | Effects on Magics |
|
1361 | 1361 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
1362 | 1362 | |
|
1363 | 1363 | Some magics will not work with async until they're updated. |
|
1364 | 1364 | Contributions welcome. |
|
1365 | 1365 | |
|
1366 | 1366 | Expected Future changes |
|
1367 | 1367 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
1368 | 1368 | |
|
1369 | 1369 | We expect more internal but public IPython functions to become ``async``, and |
|
1370 | 1370 | will likely end up having a persistent event loop while IPython is running. |
|
1371 | 1371 | |
|
1372 | 1372 | Thanks |

|
1375 | 1375 | This release took more than a year in the making. |
|
1376 | 1376 | The code was rebased a number of |
|
1377 | 1377 | times; leading to commit authorship that may have been lost in the final |
|
1378 | 1378 | Pull-Request. Huge thanks to many people for contribution, discussion, code, |
|
1379 | 1379 | documentation, use-cases: dalejung, danielballan, ellisonbg, fperez, gnestor, |
|
1380 | 1380 | minrk, njsmith, pganssle, tacaswell, takluyver , vidartf ... And many others. |

1383 | 1383 | Autoreload Improvement |
|
1384 | 1384 | ---------------------- |
|
1385 | 1385 | |
|
1386 | 1386 | The magic :magic:`%autoreload 2 <autoreload>` now captures new methods added to |
|
1387 | 1387 | classes. Earlier, only methods existing as of the initial import were being |
|
1388 | 1388 | tracked and updated. |
|
1389 | 1389 | |
|
1390 | 1390 | This new feature helps dual environment development - Jupyter+IDE - where the |
|
1391 | 1391 | code gradually moves from notebook cells to package files as it gets |
|
1392 | 1392 | structured. |
|
1393 | 1393 | |
|
1394 | 1394 | **Example**: An instance of the class ``MyClass`` will be able to access the |
|
1395 | 1395 | method ``cube()`` after it is uncommented and the file ``file1.py`` is saved on |
|
1396 | 1396 | disk. |
|
1397 | 1397 | |
|
1398 | 1398 | |
|
1399 | 1399 | .. code:: |
|
1400 | 1400 | |
|
1401 | 1401 | # notebook |
|
1402 | 1402 | |
|
1403 | 1403 | from mymodule import MyClass |
|
1404 | 1404 | first = MyClass(5) |
|
1405 | 1405 | |
|
1406 | 1406 | .. code:: |
|
1407 | 1407 | |
|
1408 | 1408 | # mymodule/file1.py |
|
1409 | 1409 | |
|
1410 | 1410 | class MyClass: |
|
1411 | 1411 | |
|
1412 | 1412 | def __init__(self, a=10): |
|
1413 | 1413 | self.a = a |
|
1414 | 1414 | |
|
1415 | 1415 | def square(self): |
|
1416 | 1416 | print('compute square') |
|
1417 | 1417 | return self.a*self.a |
|
1418 | 1418 | |
|
1419 | 1419 | # def cube(self): |
|
1420 | 1420 | # print('compute cube') |
|
1421 | 1421 | # return self.a*self.a*self.a |
|

|
1426 | 1426 | Misc |
|
1427 | 1427 | ---- |
|
1428 | 1428 | |
|
1429 | 1429 | The autoindent feature that was deprecated in 5.x was re-enabled and |
|
1430 | 1430 | un-deprecated in :ghpull:`11257` |
|
1431 | 1431 | |
|
1432 | 1432 | Make :magic:`%run -n -i ... <run>` work correctly. Earlier, if :magic:`%run` was |
|
1433 | 1433 | passed both arguments, ``-n`` would be silently ignored. See :ghpull:`10308` |
|
1434 | 1434 | |
|
1435 | 1435 | |
|
1436 | 1436 | The :cellmagic:`%%script` (as well as :cellmagic:`%%bash`, |
|
1437 | 1437 | :cellmagic:`%%ruby`... ) cell magics now raise by default if the return code of |
|
1438 | 1438 | the given code is non-zero (thus halting execution of further cells in a |
|
1439 | 1439 | notebook). The behavior can be disable by passing the ``--no-raise-error`` flag. |
|
1440 | 1440 | |
|
1441 | 1441 | |
|
1442 | 1442 | Deprecations |
|
1443 | 1443 | ------------ |
|
1444 | 1444 | |
|
1445 | 1445 | A couple of unused functions and methods have been deprecated and will be removed |
|
1446 | 1446 | in future versions: |
|
1447 | 1447 | |
|
1448 | 1448 | - ``IPython.utils.io.raw_print_err`` |
|
1449 | 1449 | - ``IPython.utils.io.raw_print`` |
|
1450 | 1450 | |
|
1451 | 1451 | |
|
1452 | 1452 | Backwards incompatible changes |
|
1453 | 1453 | ------------------------------ |
|
1454 | 1454 | |
|
1455 | 1455 | * The API for transforming input before it is parsed as Python code has been |
|
1456 | 1456 | completely redesigned: any custom input transformations will need to be |
|
1457 | 1457 | rewritten. See :doc:`/config/inputtransforms` for details of the new API. |
