7.1.0

IPykernel 7.1.0 fixes an issue where display outputs such as Matplotlib plots were not included when using %notebook magic to save sessions as .ipynb files (#1435). This is enabled using the traitlet ZMQDisplayPublisher.store_display_history which defaults to the previous behaviour of False. This is a minor release rather than a patch release due to the addition of the new traitlet.

Output from threads is restored to the pre-6.29 behavior by default (route to latest cell, unless get_ipython().set_parent() is called explicitly from the thread. If it is called, output from that thread will continue to be routed to the same cell). This behavior is now opt-in, instead of unconditional (#1451).

This release also fixes bugs that were introduced into the 7.x branch relating to Matplotlib plots in separate windows not being displayed correctly (#1458), kernels launched in new threads failing asserts (#1455), and ContextVars persisting between cells (#1462). There is also a fix for keyboard interrupts on Windows (#1434).

(Full Changelog)

• Fix routing of background thread output when no parent is set explicitly #1451 (@minrk)
• Fix KeyboardInterrupt on Windows by manually resetting interrupt event #1434 (@ptosco)

7.0.0

IPykernel 7.0.0 is a major release containing experimental support for kernel subshells.

If not using subshells it is intended to be backward compatible with the 6.x branch, but there are some architectural changes which may break assumptions made in downstream libraries and hence this is identified as a major releases as it is potentially backwards incompatible. If you experience problems then please report them, and you can pin ipykernel < 7 if necessary.

For further information and to report problems please see ipykernel 7.0.0 release with subshells (issue 1438).

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.

• Kernel._parent_header is deprecated, even though it was private. Use .get_parent() now.

Removal in 6.0

• ipykernel.codeutils was deprecated since 4.x series (2016) and has been removed, please import similar functionalities from ipyparallel
• remove find_connection_file and profile argument of connect_qtconsole and get_connection_info, deprecated since IPykernel 4.2.2 (2016).

• Add support for IPython's asynchronous code execution #323
• Update release process in CONTRIBUTING.md #339

4.10

• Fix compatibility with IPython 7.0 #348
• Fix compatibility in cases where sys.stdout can be None #344

4.9

4.9.0

• Python 3.3 is no longer supported #336
• Flush stdout/stderr in KernelApp before replacing #314
• Allow preserving stdout and stderr in KernelApp #315
• Override writable method on OutStream #316
• Add metadata to help display matplotlib figures legibly #336

4.8

4.8.2

• Fix compatibility issue with qt eventloop and pyzmq 17 #307.

4.8.1

• set zmq.ROUTER_HANDOVER socket option when available to workaround libzmq reconnect bug #300.
• Fix sdists including absolute paths for kernelspec files, which prevented installation from sdist on Windows #306.

4.8.0

• Cleanly shutdown integrated event loops when shutting down the kernel. #290
• %gui qt now uses Qt 5 by default rather than Qt 4, following a similar change in terminal IPython. #293
• Fix event loop integration for asyncio when run with Tornado 5, which uses asyncio where available. #296

4.7

4.7.0

• Add event loop integration for asyncio.
• Use the new IPython completer API.
• Add support for displaying GIF images (mimetype image/gif).
• Allow the kernel to be interrupted without killing the Qt console.
• Fix is_complete response with cell magics.
• Clean up encoding of bytes objects.
• Clean up help links to use https and improve display titles.
• Clean up ioloop handling in preparation for tornado 5.

4.6

4.6.1

• Fix eventloop-integration bug preventing Qt windows/widgets from displaying with ipykernel 4.6.0 and IPython ≥ 5.2.
• Avoid deprecation warnings about naive datetimes when working with jupyter_client ≥ 5.0.

4.6.0

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

  • update: bool
  • transient: dict

• Support new transient key in display_data messages spec for publish. For a display data message, transient contains data that shouldn't be persisted to files or documents. Add a display_id to this transient dict by display(obj, display_id=\...)

• Add ipykernel_launcher module which removes the current working directory from sys.path before launching the kernel. This helps to reduce the cases where the kernel won't start because there's a random.py (or similar) module in the current working directory.

• 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

• Fix IPython kernel death messages at start, such as "Kernel Restarting..." and "Kernel appears to have died", when parent-poller handles PID 1

• Various bugfixes

4.5

4.5.2

• Fix bug when instantiating Comms outside of the IPython kernel (introduced in 4.5.1).

4.5.1

• Add missing stream parameter to overridden getpass
• 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

• 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)
• Various bugfixes, including fixes for output coming from threads, and input when called with non-string prompts, which stdlib allows.

4.4

4.4.1

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

4.4.0

• 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

• 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

• Don't show interactive debugging info when kernel crashes
• Fix handling of numerical types in json_clean
• Testing fixes for output capturing

4.2.1

• Fix default display name back to "Python X" instead of "pythonX"

4.2.0

• Support sending a full message in initial opening of comms (metadata, buffers were not previously allowed)
• When using ipython kernel install --name to install the IPython kernelspec, default display-name to the same value as --name.

4.1

4.1.1

• Fix missing ipykernel.__version__ on Python 2.
• Fix missing target_name when opening comms from the frontend.

4.1.0

• add ipython kernel install entrypoint for installing the IPython kernelspec
