🤓🔩
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.
