Releases: nteract/nteract
nteract v0.9.0 - Bespectacled Bessemer
🤓🔩
Data Explorer
nteract desktop can now do the automatic dataviz that previously was only released on the jupyter extension.
Component documentation
We're in the beginnings of documenting our components using react-styleguidist. You can see a sneak preview at components.nteract.io.
Jupyter Extension
Jupyter Extension has some exciting new additions including near menu parity with nteract desktop 🎉
-
📝 We now have a Monaco editor component
-
"Open..." has been added to the menu and will redirect the user to the directory listing
-
Notebook cards have been scaled down and padding added to the bottom of the directory listing for easier viewing on smaller screens
Gist publishing
Gist publishing is much more stable now! 
However, GitHub no longer allows new anonymous gists. 😢 All gists published from nteract must use authentication. 🔐
Open Recent Menu
Now that we're on Electron 2.x, we can support an "Open Recent" menu. Right now it is only supported on macOS.
Mega Vega
We support vega 2, vega 3, vega-lite 1, and vega-lite 2!
Miscellaneous
- Improved kernel clean up
- Better font sizes in drop down menu
- Upgraded to webpack 4*
Futures
For the next release, look forward to improved rendering performance and better kernel cleanup.
Disclaimer for Desktop
The only bundled kernel with nteract desktop is JavaScript (node.js). To detect your current python kernel you will need to run
python -m ipykernel install --user
at the command line. For other kernels, check out https://nteract.io/kernels.
Desktop Installers
nteract v0.8.4 - Burnt Bernoulli
nteract v0.8.4
The Burnt Bernoulli release has a few fixes, though is mostly maintenance work under the hood.
- Cut/Copy/Paste cells now operate on the focused cell
- Pinned cell is gone (see #2658)
- We'd love to support this kind of feature with some rethinking on how it's implemented. More than once it's been a stumbling block to maintaining the overall app.
Under the covers
We've switched over to a byRef structure for contents and kernels within the redux store. As a precursor to directory navigation and kernel switching in the jupyter extension, this brings us a clean setup for remote resources that may not have been loaded yet (or are in various states). Classically, users think there is one kernel running at a time. When you switch kernels (or start a new kernel), you effectively have two running -- the one being shutdown and the one starting up. The overall state structure is documented in plan.md and looks roughly like this
entities:
currentNotebookRef: <contentRef>
kernels:
byRef:
[kernelRef]: { // doesn't matter if this is a local or remote kernel
channels: ...
}
contents:
byRef:
[contentRef]: {
filepath: somewhere
model: actualNotebookDocument
}Commuter and Notebook Preview
- (Re-)Improved syntax highlighting
nteract v0.8.3 - Bernese Bernard
Updates
redux-observable was missing from dependencies in @nteract/core. This fixes the latest releases of @nteract/commuter and @nteract/notebook-preview. No user facing changes in desktop or the web apps.
nteract v0.8.0 - Burly Berliner
Hey all! Thanks for reading the release notes for this nteract.io beta. We've gone through some major refactors to bring you a more stable release than ever before. 👷👷♀️ We could really use your help in building nteract out, so let us know how you'd like to be involved. We can get you plugged in!
