release estimate : end-october 2017

features:

• WinPython-3.6 is the default download
• matplotlib-2.1.0, spyder-3.2.4, scikit-learn-0.19.1, pandas-0.21.0
• updated notebook experience: Ipython-6.2.1, Notebook-5.2.0+
• updated jupyterlab-0.28.11 preview (a preview2, still not an equivalent experience to Notebook):
  • ipywidgets-7.0.3, bokeh-0.12.10, ipyleaflet-0.4.0, altair-1.2.1
  • some widgets are still not available under Jupyterlab: Holoviews, Bokeh (partial)
  • jupyterlab-0.28.11 slowness under Firefox is a current issue
  • jupyterlab re-estimated roadmap: 0.29 in november, beta in december, 1.0 in march

removal:

• removed current spyder plugins: spyder-notebook and spyder-terminal. They (indirectly) cause a too big startup slowness on Windows.
• last release with Python-3.5 (nota: idlex is stopping at Python-3.5, line numbering directly in IDLE is not available yet )
