[IPython-dev] 4.0 release status

[Brian M Hamlin]

Hi All -
 
  Is it possible that a 3.2x .deb could be a safer "bet" than the 
cliff-hanger 4.0 release ?
 
Background:  We are in full dev mode with the Open Source Geospatial 
Foundation Linux "distro"  OSGeo Live [1][2][3][4]
with a feature freeze "soon" and aiming for a testable, master 
candidate around 16 Aug 2015. 
 
  Of course Notebooks are important to the effort, as well as a number 
of other geo-technologies.. 
 
We consider ourselves a "stable" project, not cutting edge.. so its no 
problemfor us, missing  4.0 until January.. 
As I discussed a bit with Thomas, we have two debian packagers 
pretty-much full time on the project now,
but we are looking to you for the official releases. 
 
   thanks for any guidance
     -Brian

Subject: [IPython-dev] 4.0 release status

In the sprints at Scipy, we managed to release jupyter_client, nbconvert
and jupyter_kernel_test, as well as a beta of the cut-down IPython package,
so that other packages depending on IPython can be installed with pip using
the --pre flag as we release them. Thank-you to everyone who sprinted with
us, and especially to the group who worked with Jess on nbgrader, which had
its own release a few days later. 

Since then, we (Min, mostly) have also released ipykernel and
jupyter_console. 

The remaining pieces we need to release are:

- jupyter_core (needs a new release before we announce 4.0, because of
changes to config migration)
- qtconsole (nearly ready)
- notebook
- ipywidgets
- ipyparallel
- jupyter (the metapackage which will depend on all the other pieces)
- ipython 4.0 final
