6.0.0

(Full Changelog)

IPykernel 6.0 is the first major release in about two years, that brings a number of improvements, code cleanup, and new features to IPython.

You should be able to view all closed issues and merged Pull Request for this milestone on GitHub, as for any major releases, we advise greater care when updating that for minor release and welcome any feedback (~50 Pull-requests).

IPykernel 6 should contain all changes of the 5.x series, in addition to the following non-exhaustive changes.

• Support for the debugger protocol, when using JupyterLab, RetroLab or any frontend supporting the debugger protocol you should have access to the debugger functionalities.

• The control channel on IPykernel 6.0 is run in a separate thread, this may change the order in which messages are processed, though this change was necessary to accommodate the debugger.

• We now have a new dependency: matplotlib-inline, this helps to separate the circular dependency between IPython/IPykernel and matplotlib.

• On POSIX systems, all outputs to stdout/stderr should now be captured, including subprocesses and output of compiled libraries (blas, lapack....). In notebook server, some outputs that would previously go to the notebooks logs will now both head to notebook logs and in notebooks outputs. In terminal frontend like Jupyter Console, Emacs or other, this may ends up as duplicated outputs.

• coroutines are now native (async-def) , instead of using tornado's @gen.coroutine

• OutStreams can now be configured to report istty() == True, while this should make some output nicer (for example colored), it is likely to break others. Use with care.

• Avoid deprecation warnings about naive datetimes when working with jupyter_client ≥ 5.0.

4.6.0

4.6.0 on GitHub

• Add to API DisplayPublisher.publish two new fully backward-compatible keyword-args:

• Add busy/idle messages on IOPub during processing of aborted requests

• Add active event loop setting to GUI, which enables the correct response to IPython's is_event_loop_running_xxx

• Include IPython kernelspec in wheels to reduce reliance on "native kernel spec" in jupyter_client

• Modify OutStream to inherit from TextIOBase instead of object to improve API support and error reporting

• Various bugfixes

4.5

4.5.2

4.5.2 on GitHub

• Remove locks from iopub thread, which could cause deadlocks during debugging
• Fix regression where KeyboardInterrupt was treated as an aborted request, rather than an error
• Allow instantiating Comms outside of the IPython kernel

4.5.0

4.5 on GitHub

• Use figure.dpi instead of savefig.dpi to set DPI for inline figures
• Support ipympl matplotlib backend (requires IPython update as well to fully work)

4.4

4.4.1

4.4.1 on GitHub

• Fix circular import of matplotlib on Python 2 caused by the inline backend changes in 4.4.0.

4.4.0

4.4.0 on GitHub

• Use MPLBACKEND environment variable to tell matplotlib >= 1.5 use use the inline backend by default. This is only done if MPLBACKEND is not already set and no backend has been explicitly loaded, so setting MPLBACKEND=Qt4Agg or calling %matplotlib notebook or matplotlib.use('Agg') will take precedence.
• Fixes for logging problems caused by 4.3, where logging could go to the terminal instead of the notebook.
• Add --sys-prefix and --profile arguments to ipython kernel install.
• Allow Comm (Widget) messages to be sent from background threads.
• Select inline matplotlib backend by default if %matplotlib magic or matplotlib.use() are not called explicitly (for matplotlib >= 1.5).
• Fix some longstanding minor deviations from the message protocol (missing status: ok in a few replies, connect_reply format).
• Remove calls to NoOpContext from IPython, deprecated in 5.0.

4.3

4.3.2

• Use a nonempty dummy session key for inprocess kernels to avoid security warnings.

4.3.1

• Fix Windows Python 3.5 incompatibility caused by faulthandler patch in 4.3

4.3.0

4.3.0 on GitHub

• Publish all IO in a thread, via IOPubThread. This solves the problem of requiring sys.stdout.flush to be called in the notebook to produce output promptly during long-running cells.

• Remove references to outdated IPython guiref in kernel banner.

• Patch faulthandler to use sys.__stderr__ instead of forwarded sys.stderr, which has no fileno when forwarded.

• Deprecate some vestiges of the Big Split:

  • ipykernel.find_connection_file is deprecated. Use jupyter_client.find_connection_file instead.

  - Various pieces of code specific to IPython parallel are deprecated in ipykernel and moved to ipyparallel.

4.2

4.2.2

4.2.2 on GitHub

• Don't show interactive debugging info when kernel crashes
• Fix handling of numerical types in json_clean

• Fix missing target_name when opening comms from the frontend.
