  7.x Series
 ============
 
+.. _version 711:
+
+IPython 7.11
+============
+
+IPython 7.11 received a couple of compatibility fixes and code cleanup.
+
+A number of function in the ``py3compat`` have been removed; a number of types
+in the IPython code base are now non-ambiguous and now always ``unicode``
+instead of ``Union[Unicode,bytes]``; many of the relevant code path have thus
+been simplified/cleaned and types annotation added.
+
+IPython support several verbosity level from exceptions. ``xmode plain`` now
+support chained exceptions. :ghpull:`11999`
+
+We are starting to remove ``shell=True`` in some usages of subprocess. While not directly
+a security issue (as IPython is made to run arbitrary code anyway) it is not good
+practice and we'd like to show the example. :ghissue:`12023`. This discussion
+was started by ``@mschwager`` thanks to a new auditing tool they are working on
+with duo-labs (`dlint <https://github.com/duo-labs/dlint>`_).
+
+Work around some bugs in Python 3.9 tokenizer :ghpull:`12057`
+
+IPython will now print its version after a crash. :ghpull:`11986`
+
+This is likely the last release from the 7.x series that will see new feature.
+The master branch will soon accept large code changes and thrilling new
+features; the 7.x branch will only start to accept critical bug fixes, and
+update dependencies.
+
 .. _version 7102:
 
 IPython 7.10.2
 ==============
 
 IPython 7.10.2 fix a couple of extra incompatibility between IPython, ipdb,
 asyncio and Prompt Toolkit 3.
 
 .. _version 7101:
 
 IPython 7.10.1
 ==============
 
 IPython 7.10.1 fix a couple of incompatibilities with Prompt toolkit 3 (please
 update Prompt toolkit to 3.0.2 at least), and fixes some interaction with
 headless IPython.
 
 .. _version 7100:
 
 IPython 7.10.0
 ==============
 
 IPython 7.10 is the first double digit minor release in the  last decade, and
 first since the release of IPython 1.0, previous double digit minor release was
 in August 2009.
 
 We've been trying to give you regular release on the last Friday of every month
 for a guaranty of rapid access to bug fixes and new features.
 
 Unlike the previous first few releases that have seen only a couple of code
 changes, 7.10 bring a number of changes, new features and bugfixes.
 
 Stop Support for Python 3.5 – Adopt NEP 29
 ------------------------------------------
 
 IPython has decided to follow the informational `NEP 29
 <https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html>`_ which layout a clear
 policy as to which version of (C)Python and NumPy are supported.
 
 We thus dropped support for Python 3.5, and cleaned up a number of code path
 that were Python-version dependant. If you are on 3.5 or earlier pip should
 automatically give you the latest compatible version of IPython so you do not
 need to pin to a given version.
 
 Support for Prompt Toolkit 3.0
 ------------------------------
 
 Prompt Toolkit 3.0 was release a week before IPython 7.10 and introduces a few
 breaking changes. We believe IPython 7.10 should be compatible with both Prompt
 Toolkit 2.x and 3.x, though it has not been extensively tested with 3.x so
 please report any issues.
 
 
 Prompt Rendering Performance improvements
 -----------------------------------------
 
 Pull Request :ghpull:`11933` introduced an optimisation in the prompt rendering
 logic that should decrease the resource usage of IPython when using the
 _default_ configuration but could potentially introduce a regression of
 functionalities if you are using a custom prompt.
 
 We know assume if you haven't changed the default keybindings that the prompt
 **will not change** during the duration of your input – which is for example
 not true when using vi insert mode that switches between `[ins]` and `[nor]`
 for the current mode.
 
 If you are experiencing any issue let us know.
 
 Code autoformatting
 -------------------
 
 The IPython terminal can now auto format your code just before entering a new
 line or executing a command. To do so use the
 ``--TerminalInteractiveShell.autoformatter`` option and set it to ``'black'``;
 if black is installed IPython will use black to format your code when possible.
 
 IPython cannot always properly format your code; in particular it will
 auto formatting with *black* will only work if:
 
    - Your code does not contains magics or special python syntax.
 
    - There is no code after your cursor.
 
 The Black API is also still in motion; so this may not work with all versions of
 black.
 
 It should be possible to register custom formatter, though the API is till in
 flux.
 
 Arbitrary Mimetypes Handing in Terminal (Aka inline images in terminal)
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 When using IPython terminal it is now possible to register function to handle
 arbitrary mimetypes. While rendering non-text based representation was possible in
 many jupyter frontend; it was not possible in terminal IPython, as usually
 terminal are limited to displaying text. As many terminal these days provide
 escape sequences to display non-text; bringing this loved feature to IPython CLI
 made a lot of sens. This functionality will not only allow inline images; but
 allow opening of external program; for example ``mplayer`` to "display" sound
 files.
 
 So far only the hooks necessary for this are in place, but no default mime
 renderers added; so inline images will only be available via extensions. We will
 progressively enable these features by default in the next few releases, and
 contribution is welcomed.
 
 We welcome any feedback on the API. See :ref:`shell_mimerenderer` for more
 informations.
 
 This is originally based on work form in :ghpull:`10610` from @stephanh42
 started over two years ago, and still a lot need to be done.

  - @stephanh42 who started the work on inline images in terminal 2 years ago
  - @augustogoulart who spent a lot of time triaging issues and responding to
    users.
  - @con-f-use who is my (@Carreau) first sponsor on GitHub, as a reminder if you
    like IPython, Jupyter and many other library of the SciPy stack you can
    donate to numfocus.org non profit
 
 .. _version 790:
 
 IPython 7.9.0
 =============
 
 IPython 7.9 is a small release with a couple of improvement and bug fixes.
 
  - Xterm terminal title should be restored on exit :ghpull:`11910`
  - special variables ``_``,``__``, ``___`` are not set anymore when cache size
    is 0 or less.  :ghpull:`11877`
  - Autoreload should have regained some speed by using a new heuristic logic to
    find all objects needing reload. This should avoid large objects traversal
    like pandas dataframes. :ghpull:`11876`
  - Get ready for Python 4. :ghpull:`11874`
  - `%env` Magic now has heuristic to hide potentially sensitive values :ghpull:`11896`
 
 This is a small release despite a number of Pull Request Pending that need to
 be reviewed/worked on. Many of the core developers have been busy outside of
 IPython/Jupyter and we thanks all contributor for their patience; we'll work on
 these as soon as we have time.
 
 
 .. _version780:
 
 IPython 7.8.0
 =============
 
 IPython 7.8.0 contain a few bugfix and 2 new APIs:
 
  - Enable changing the font color for LaTeX rendering :ghpull:`11840`
  - and Re-Expose some PDB API (see below)
 
 Expose Pdb API
 --------------
 
 Expose the built-in ``pdb.Pdb`` API. ``Pdb`` constructor arguments are generically
 exposed, regardless of python version.
 Newly exposed arguments:
 
 - ``skip`` - Python 3.1+
 - ``nosiginnt`` - Python 3.2+
 - ``readrc`` - Python 3.6+
 
 Try it out::
 
     from IPython.terminal.debugger import TerminalPdb
     pdb = TerminalPdb(skip=["skipthismodule"])
 
 
 See :ghpull:`11840`
 
 .. _version770:
 
 IPython 7.7.0
 =============
 
 IPython 7.7.0 contain multiple bug fixes and documentation updates; Here are a
 few of the outstanding issue fixed:
 
    - Fix a bug introduced in 7.6 where the ``%matplotlib`` magic would fail on
      previously acceptable arguments :ghpull:`11814`.
    - Fix the manage location on freebsd :ghpull:`11808`.
    - Fix error message about aliases after ``%reset`` call in ipykernel
      :ghpull:`11806`
    - Fix Duplication completions in emacs :ghpull:`11803`
 
 We are planning to adopt `NEP29 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14086>`_
 (still currently in draft) which may make this minor version of IPython the
 last one to support Python 3.5 and will make the code base more aggressive
 toward removing compatibility with older versions of Python.
 
 GitHub now support to give only "Triage" permissions to users; if you'd like to
 help close stale issues and labels issues please reach to us with your GitHub
 Username and we'll add you to the triage team. It is a great way to start
 contributing and a path toward getting commit rights.
 
 .. _version761:
 
 IPython 7.6.1
 =============
 
 IPython 7.6.1 contain a critical bugfix in the ``%timeit`` magic, which would
 crash on some inputs as a side effect of :ghpull:`11716`. See :ghpull:`11812`
 
 
 .. _whatsnew760:
 
 IPython 7.6.0
 =============
 
 IPython 7.6.0 contains a couple of bug fixes and number of small features
 additions as well as some compatibility with the current development version of
 Python 3.8.
 
    - Add a ``-l`` option to :magic:`psearch` to list the available search
      types. :ghpull:`11672`
    - Support ``PathLike`` for ``DisplayObject`` and ``Image``. :ghpull:`11764`
    - Configurability of timeout in the test suite for slow platforms.
      :ghpull:`11756`
    - Accept any casing for matplotlib backend. :ghpull:`121748`
    - Properly skip test that requires numpy to be installed :ghpull:`11723`
    - More support for Python 3.8 and positional only arguments (pep570)
      :ghpull:`11720`
    - Unicode names for the completion are loaded lazily on first use which
      should decrease startup time. :ghpull:`11693`
    - Autoreload now update the types of reloaded objects; this for example allow
      pickling of reloaded objects. :ghpull:`11644`
    - Fix a bug where ``%%time`` magic would suppress cell output. :ghpull:`11716`
 
 
 Prepare migration to pytest (instead of nose) for testing
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 
 Most of the work between 7.5 and 7.6 was to prepare the migration from our
 testing framework to pytest. Most of the test suite should now work by simply
 issuing ``pytest`` from the root of the repository.
 
 The migration to pytest is just at its beginning. Many of our test still rely
 on IPython-specific plugins for nose using pytest (doctest using IPython syntax
 is one example of this where test appear as "passing", while no code has been
 ran). Many test also need to be updated like ``yield-test`` to be properly
 parametrized tests.
 
 Migration to pytest allowed me to discover a number of issues in our test
 suite; which was hiding a number of subtle issues – or not actually running
 some of the tests in our test suite – I have thus corrected many of those; like
 improperly closed resources; or used of deprecated features. I also made use of
 the ``pytest --durations=...`` to find some of our slowest test and speed them
 up (our test suite can now be up to 10% faster). Pytest as also a variety of
 plugins and flags which will make the code quality of IPython and the testing
 experience better.
 
 Misc
 ----
 
 We skipped the release of 7.6 at the end of May, but will attempt to get back
 on schedule. We are starting to think about making introducing backward
 incompatible change and start the 8.0 series.
 
 Special Thanks to Gabriel (@gpotter2 on GitHub), who among other took care many
 of the remaining task for 7.4 and 7.5, like updating the website.
 
 .. _whatsnew750:
 
 IPython 7.5.0
 =============
 
 IPython 7.5.0 consist mostly of bug-fixes, and documentation updates, with one
 minor new feature. The `Audio` display element can now be assigned an element
 id when displayed in browser. See :ghpull:`11670`
 
 The major outstanding bug fix correct a change of behavior that was introduce
 in 7.4.0 where some cell magics would not be able to access or modify global
 scope when using the ``@needs_local_scope`` decorator. This was typically
 encountered with the ``%%time`` and ``%%timeit`` magics. See :ghissue:`11659`
 and :ghpull:`11698`.
 
 .. _whatsnew740:
 
 IPython 7.4.0
 =============
 
 Unicode name completions
 ------------------------
 
 Previously, we provided completion for a unicode name with its relative symbol.
 With this, now IPython provides complete suggestions to unicode name symbols.
 
 As on the PR, if user types ``\LAT<tab>``, IPython provides a list of
 possible completions. In this case, it would be something like::
 
    'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A',
    'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B',
    'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C',
    'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D',
    ....
 
 This help to type unicode character that do not have short latex aliases, and
 have long unicode names. for example ``Ͱ``, ``\GREEK CAPITAL LETTER HETA``.
 
 This feature was contributed by Luciana Marques :ghpull:`11583`.
 
 Make audio normalization optional
 ---------------------------------
 
 Added 'normalize' argument to `IPython.display.Audio`. This argument applies
 when audio data is given as an array of samples. The default of `normalize=True`
 preserves prior behavior of normalizing the audio to the maximum possible range.
 Setting to `False` disables normalization.
 
 
 Miscellaneous
 -------------
 
  - Fix improper acceptation of ``return`` outside of functions. :ghpull:`11641`.
  - Fixed PyQt 5.11 backwards incompatibility causing sip import failure.
    :ghpull:`11613`.
  - Fix Bug where ``type?`` would crash IPython. :ghpull:`1608`.
  - Allow to apply ``@needs_local_scope`` to cell magics for convenience.
    :ghpull:`11542`.
 
 .. _whatsnew730:
 
 IPython 7.3.0
 =============
 
 .. _whatsnew720:
 
 IPython 7.3.0 bring several bug fixes and small improvements that you will
 described bellow. 
 
 The biggest change to this release is the implementation of the ``%conda`` and
 ``%pip`` magics, that will attempt to install packages in the **current
 environment**. You may still need to restart your interpreter or kernel for the
 change to be taken into account, but it should simplify installation of packages
 into remote environment. Installing using pip/conda from the command line is
 still the prefer method.
 
 The ``%pip`` magic was already present, but was only printing a warning; now it
 will actually forward commands to pip. 
 
 Misc bug fixes and improvements:
 
  - Compatibility with Python 3.8.
  - Do not expand shell variable in execution magics, and added the
    ``no_var_expand`` decorator for magic requiring a similar functionality
    :ghpull:`11516`
  - Add ``%pip`` and ``%conda`` magic :ghpull:`11524`
  - Re-initialize posix aliases after a ``%reset`` :ghpull:`11528`
  - Allow the IPython command line to run ``*.ipynb`` files :ghpull:`11529`
 
 IPython 7.2.0
 =============
 
 IPython 7.2.0 brings minor bugfixes, improvements, and new configuration options:
 
  - Fix a bug preventing PySide2 GUI integration from working :ghpull:`11464`
  - Run CI on Mac OS ! :ghpull:`11471`
  - Fix IPython "Demo" mode. :ghpull:`11498`
  - Fix ``%run`` magic  with path in name :ghpull:`11499`
  - Fix: add CWD to sys.path *after* stdlib :ghpull:`11502`
  - Better rendering of signatures, especially long ones. :ghpull:`11505`
  - Re-enable jedi by default if it's installed :ghpull:`11506`
  - Add New ``minimal`` exception reporting mode (useful for educational purpose). See :ghpull:`11509`
 
 
 Added ability to show subclasses when using pinfo and other utilities
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 When using ``?``/``??`` on a class, IPython will now list the first 10 subclasses.
 
 Special Thanks to Chris Mentzel of the Moore Foundation for this feature. Chris
 is one of the people who played a critical role in IPython/Jupyter getting
 funding.
 
 We are grateful for all the help Chris has given us over the years,
 and we're now proud to have code contributed by Chris in IPython.
 
 OSMagics.cd_force_quiet configuration option
 --------------------------------------------
 
 You can set this option to force the %cd magic to behave as if ``-q`` was passed:
 ::
 
     In [1]: cd /
     /
 
     In [2]: %config OSMagics.cd_force_quiet = True
 
     In [3]: cd /tmp
 
     In [4]:
 
 See :ghpull:`11491`
 
 In vi editing mode, whether the prompt includes the current vi mode can now be configured
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Set the ``TerminalInteractiveShell.prompt_includes_vi_mode`` to a boolean value
 (default: True) to control this feature. See :ghpull:`11492`
 
 .. _whatsnew710:
 
 IPython 7.1.0
 =============
 
 IPython 7.1.0 is the first minor release after 7.0.0 and mostly brings fixes to
 new features, internal refactoring, and fixes for regressions that happened during the 6.x->7.x
 transition. It also brings **Compatibility with Python 3.7.1**, as we're
 unwillingly relying on a bug in CPython.
 
 New Core Dev:
 
  - We welcome Jonathan Slenders to the commiters. Jonathan has done a fantastic
    work on prompt_toolkit, and we'd like to recognise his impact by giving him
    commit rights. :ghissue:`11397`
 
 Notable Changes
 
  - Major update of "latex to unicode" tab completion map (see below)
 
 Notable New Features:
 
  - Restore functionality and documentation of the **sphinx directive**, which
    is now stricter (fail on error by daefault), has new configuration options,
    has a brand new documentation page :ref:`ipython_directive` (which needs
    some cleanup). It is also now *tested* so we hope to have less regressions.
    :ghpull:`11402`
 
  - ``IPython.display.Video`` now supports ``width`` and ``height`` arguments,
    allowing a custom width and height to be set instead of using the video's
    width and height. :ghpull:`11353`
 
  - Warn when using ``HTML('<iframe>')`` instead of ``IFrame`` :ghpull:`11350`
 
  - Allow Dynamic switching of editing mode between vi/emacs and show
    normal/input mode in prompt when using vi. :ghpull:`11390`. Use ``%config
    TerminalInteractiveShell.editing_mode = 'vi'`` or ``%config
    TerminalInteractiveShell.editing_mode = 'emacs'`` to dynamically switch
    between modes.
 
 
 Notable Fixes:
 
  - Fix entering of **multi-line blocks in terminal** IPython, and various
    crashes in the new input transformation machinery :ghpull:`11354`,
    :ghpull:`11356`, :ghpull:`11358`. These also fix a **Compatibility bug
    with Python 3.7.1**.
 
  - Fix moving through generator stack in ipdb :ghpull:`11266`
 
  - %Magic command arguments now support quoting. :ghpull:`11330`
 
  - Re-add ``rprint`` and ``rprinte`` aliases. :ghpull:`11331`
 
  - Remove implicit dependency on ``ipython_genutils`` :ghpull:`11317`
 
  - Make ``nonlocal`` raise ``SyntaxError`` instead of silently failing in async
    mode. :ghpull:`11382`
 
  - Fix mishandling of magics and ``= !`` assignment just after a dedent in
    nested code blocks :ghpull:`11418`
 
  - Fix instructions for custom shortcuts :ghpull:`11426`
 
 
 Notable Internals improvements:
 
  - Use of ``os.scandir`` (Python 3 only) to speed up some file system operations.
    :ghpull:`11365`
 
  - use ``perf_counter`` instead of ``clock`` for more precise
    timing results with ``%time`` :ghpull:`11376`
 
 Many thanks to all the contributors and in particular to ``bartskowron`` and
 ``tonyfast`` who handled some pretty complicated bugs in the input machinery. We
 had a number of first time contributors and maybe hacktoberfest participants that
 made significant contributions and helped us free some time to focus on more
 complicated bugs.

 <https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=+is%3Aclosed+milestone%3A7.1+>`_.
 
 Unicode Completion update
 -------------------------
 
 In IPython 7.1 the Unicode completion map has been updated and synchronized with
 the Julia language.
 
 Added and removed character characters:
 
  ``\jmath`` (``ȷ``), ``\\underleftrightarrow`` (U+034D, combining) have been
  added, while ``\\textasciicaron`` have been removed
 
 Some sequences have seen their prefix removed:
 
  - 6 characters ``\text...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\...<tab>`` directly,
  - 45 characters ``\Elz...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\...<tab>`` directly,
  - 65 characters ``\B...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\...<tab>`` directly,
  - 450 characters ``\m...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\...<tab>`` directly,
 
 Some sequences have seen their prefix shortened:
 
  - 5 characters ``\mitBbb...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\bbi...<tab>`` directly,
  - 52 characters ``\mit...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\i...<tab>`` directly,
  - 216 characters ``\mbfit...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\bi...<tab>`` directly,
  - 222 characters ``\mbf...<tab>`` should now be inputed with ``\b...<tab>`` directly,
 
 A couple of characters had their sequence simplified:
 
  - ``ð``, type ``\dh<tab>``, instead of ``\eth<tab>``
  - ``ħ``, type ``\hbar<tab>``, instead of ``\Elzxh<tab>``
  - ``ɸ``, type ``\ltphi<tab>``, instead of ``\textphi<tab>``
  - ``ϴ``, type ``\varTheta<tab>``, instead of ``\textTheta<tab>``
  - ``ℇ``, type ``\eulermascheroni<tab>``, instead of ``\Eulerconst<tab>``
  - ``ℎ``, type ``\planck<tab>``, instead of ``\Planckconst<tab>``
 
  - U+0336 (COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY), type ``\strike<tab>``, instead of ``\Elzbar<tab>``.
 
 A couple of sequences have been updated:
 
  - ``\varepsilon`` now gives ``ɛ`` (GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON) instead of ``ε`` (GREEK LUNATE EPSILON SYMBOL),
  - ``\underbar`` now gives U+0331 (COMBINING MACRON BELOW) instead of U+0332 (COMBINING LOW LINE).
 
 
 .. _whatsnew700:
 
 IPython 7.0.0
 =============
 
 Released Thursday September 27th, 2018
 
 IPython 7 includes major feature improvements.
 This is also the second major version of IPython to support only
 Python 3 – starting at Python 3.4. Python 2 is still community-supported
 on the bugfix only 5.x branch, but we remind you that Python 2 "end of life"
 is on Jan 1st 2020.
 
 We were able to backport bug fixes to the 5.x branch thanks to our backport bot which
 backported more than `70 Pull-Requests
 <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>`_
 
 The IPython 6.x branch will likely not see any further release unless critical
 bugs are found.
 
 Make sure you have pip > 9.0 before upgrading. You should be able to update by running:
 
 .. code::
 
     pip install ipython --upgrade
 
 .. only:: ipydev
 
   If you are trying to install or update an ``alpha``, ``beta``, or ``rc``
   version, use pip ``--pre`` flag.
 
   .. code::
 
       pip install ipython --upgrade --pre
 
 
 Or, if you have conda installed: 
 
 .. code::
    
    conda install ipython
 
 
 
 Prompt Toolkit 2.0
 ------------------
 
 IPython 7.0+ now uses ``prompt_toolkit 2.0``. If you still need to use an earlier
 ``prompt_toolkit`` version, you may need to pin IPython to ``<7.0``.
 
 Autowait: Asynchronous REPL
 ---------------------------
 
 Staring with IPython 7.0 on Python 3.6+, IPython can automatically ``await``
 top level code. You should not need to access an event loop or runner
 yourself. To learn more, read the :ref:`autoawait` section of our docs, see
 :ghpull:`11265`, or try the following code::
 
     Python 3.6.0
     Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information
     IPython 7.0.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.
 
     In [1]: import aiohttp
        ...: result = aiohttp.get('https://api.github.com')
 
     In [2]: response = await result
     <pause for a few 100s ms>

 .. note::
 
    Async integration is experimental code, behavior may change or be removed
    between Python and IPython versions without warnings.
 
 Integration is by default with `asyncio`, but other libraries can be configured --
 like ``curio`` or ``trio`` -- to improve concurrency in the REPL::
 
     In [1]: %autoawait trio
 
     In [2]: import trio
 
     In [3]: async def child(i):
        ...:     print("   child %s goes to sleep"%i)
        ...:     await trio.sleep(2)
        ...:     print("   child %s wakes up"%i)
 
     In [4]: print('parent start')
        ...: async with trio.open_nursery() as n:
        ...:     for i in range(3):
        ...:         n.spawn(child, i)
        ...: print('parent end')
     parent start
        child 2 goes to sleep
        child 0 goes to sleep
        child 1 goes to sleep
        <about 2 seconds pause>
        child 2 wakes up
        child 1 wakes up
        child 0 wakes up
     parent end
 
 See :ref:`autoawait` for more information.
 
 
 Asynchronous code in a Notebook interface or any other frontend using the
 Jupyter Protocol will require further updates to the IPykernel package.
 
 Non-Asynchronous code
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 As the internal API of IPython is now asynchronous, IPython needs to run under
 an event loop. In order to allow many workflows, (like using the :magic:`%run`
 magic, or copy-pasting code that explicitly starts/stop event loop), when
 top-level code is detected as not being asynchronous, IPython code is advanced
 via a pseudo-synchronous runner, and may not advance pending tasks.
 
 Change to Nested Embed
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 The introduction of the ability to run async code had some effect on the
 ``IPython.embed()`` API. By default, embed will not allow you to run asynchronous
 code unless an event loop is specified.
 
 Effects on Magics
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Some magics will not work with async until they're updated.
 Contributions welcome.
 
 Expected Future changes
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 We expect more internal but public IPython functions to become ``async``, and
 will likely end up having a persistent event loop while IPython is running.
 
 Thanks
 ~~~~~~
 
 This release took more than a year in the making.
 The code was rebased a number of
 times; leading to commit authorship that may have been lost in the final
 Pull-Request. Huge thanks to many people for contribution, discussion, code,
 documentation, use-cases: dalejung, danielballan, ellisonbg, fperez, gnestor,
 minrk, njsmith, pganssle, tacaswell, takluyver , vidartf ... And many others.
 
 
 Autoreload Improvement
 ----------------------
 
 The magic :magic:`%autoreload 2 <autoreload>` now captures new methods added to
 classes. Earlier, only methods existing as of the initial import were being
 tracked and updated.  
 
 This new feature helps dual environment development - Jupyter+IDE - where the
 code gradually moves from notebook cells to package files as it gets
 structured.
 
 **Example**: An instance of the class ``MyClass`` will be able to access the
 method ``cube()`` after it is uncommented and the file ``file1.py`` is saved on
 disk.
 
 
 .. code::
 
    # notebook
 
    from mymodule import MyClass
    first = MyClass(5)
 
 .. code::
 
    # mymodule/file1.py
 
    class MyClass:
 
        def __init__(self, a=10):
            self.a = a
 
        def square(self):
            print('compute square')
            return self.a*self.a
 
        # def cube(self):
        #     print('compute cube')
        #     return self.a*self.a*self.a
 
 
 
 
 Misc
 ----
 
 The autoindent feature that was deprecated in 5.x was re-enabled and
 un-deprecated in :ghpull:`11257`
 
 Make :magic:`%run -n -i ... <run>` work correctly. Earlier, if :magic:`%run` was
 passed both arguments, ``-n`` would be silently ignored. See :ghpull:`10308`
 
 
 The :cellmagic:`%%script` (as well as :cellmagic:`%%bash`,
 :cellmagic:`%%ruby`... ) cell magics now raise by default if the return code of
 the given code is non-zero (thus halting execution of further cells in a
 notebook). The behavior can be disable by passing the ``--no-raise-error`` flag.
 
 
 Deprecations
 ------------
 
 A couple of unused functions and methods have been deprecated and will be removed
 in future versions:
 
   - ``IPython.utils.io.raw_print_err``
   - ``IPython.utils.io.raw_print``
 
   
 Backwards incompatible changes
 ------------------------------
 
 * The API for transforming input before it is parsed as Python code has been
   completely redesigned: any custom input transformations will need to be
   rewritten. See :doc:`/config/inputtransforms` for details of the new API.
