On 30.11.2018 7.2.0 was released
IPython 7.3.0 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 PR #11516 Add %pip and %conda magic PR #11524 Re-initialize posix aliases after a %reset PR #11528 Allow the IPython command line to run *.ipynb files PR #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 PR #11464 Run CI on Mac OS ! PR #11471 Fix IPython “Demo” mode. PR #11498 Fix %run magic with path in name PR #11499 Fix: add CWD to sys.path after stdlib PR #11502 Better rendering of signatures, especially long ones. PR #11505 Re-enable jedi by default if it’s installed PR #11506 Add New minimal exception reporting mode (useful for educational purpose). See PR #11509 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. Notable Changes Major update of “latex to unicode” tab completion map 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 IPython Sphinx Directive (which needs some cleanup). It is also now tested so we hope to have less regressions.

PR #11353 Warn when using HTML('<iframe>') instead of IFrame PR #11350 Allow Dynamic switching of editing mode between vi/emacs and show normal/input mode in prompt when using vi. PR #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 PR #11354, PR #11356, PR #11358. These also fix a Compatibility bug with Python 3.7.1. Fix moving through generator stack in ipdb PR #11266 %Magic command arguments now support quoting. PR #11330 Re-add rprint and rprinte aliases. PR #11331 Remove implicit dependency on ipython_genutils PR #11317 Make nonlocal raise SyntaxError instead of silently failing in async mode.

PR #11365 use perf_counter instead of clock for more precise timing results with %time PR #11376 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.
