v0.10.0 Plotly, VSCode, Cell Magic

0.10.0, 2024/04/07 Improvements on Plotly, VSCode support, Cell magic, interrupt handling and several minor fixes.

• Added special cell commands ("magic"):
  • %%writefile to write contents of cell to file. See #103. Thanks @potoo0!
  • %%script, %%bash and %%sh to execute the full cell contents with the given command (none of the extra flags are supported yet though).
• Added dom.LoadScriptOrRequireJSModuleAndRun and dom.LoadScriptOrRequireJSModuleAndRunTransient that dynamically decides
  if to include script using <script src=...> or use RequireJS.
• Plotly library uses dom.LoadScriptOrRequireJSModuleAndRun now, allowing result to show up in the HTML export of
  the notebook.
• Added plotly.AppendFig that allows plotting to a transient area, or anywhere in the page.
• Several minor fixes, see #106
• Added handling of SIGHUP and SIGTERM to handle a clean exit: and avoid leaking gopls daemons.
• Make sure SIGINT triggers an equivalent SIGINT on the child processes (it was not happening in VSCode).
• Added docs/VSCode.md with notes/info on running GoNB with Visual Studio Code.

v0.9.6 Added Plotly support

Updates:

• Fixed some typos in klog formatting.
• Updated dependencies.
• Updated gopls dependencies: new jsonrpc2 API.
• Added LoadScriptModuleAndRun.
• Added Plotly Javascript support, in gonbui.plotly package. Also added example in tutorial.
• During installation, consider /var/folders also a temporary directory.

v0.9.5

• Added instrumentation to Jupyter input boxes in nbexec.
• Added functional tests for input boxes created with %with_inputs, %with_password or gonbui.RequestInput.
• Added logo to installation #84

v0.9.4 Small fixes and improvements

• Cache is by-passed if cache key is set to empty ("").
• New widgets demo, using GoMLX's Flowers Diffusion demo
• Updated Dockerfile to start from /notebooks directory, and with instructions to mount the
  host current directory in the host/ subdirectory. More in #78
• Fixed gonbui.RequestInput.

v0.9.3: New widgets.Select; Clean-up `widgets` API.

• Widgets:
  • Normalized API across widgets, so they all look the same -- breaks the API, apologies.
  • Added widget.Select for a drop-down menu.
  • Improved integration tests.
• nbexec: changed javascript code to use the public API jupyterapp.commands.execute instead.

Fixed Darwin build.

• Fixed Darwin (and other non-linux, that are unix-like) build -- see #74.
  • Added cross-compilation to darwin/arm64 test in run-coverage.sh

v0.9.1 Small bug fixes

• Removed left-over debugging messages.
• Removed left-over replace rule from tutorial.

v0.9.0 -- Widgets, DOM, Wasm, Front-end communication, `nbexec`

This is a large update, which includes refactoring of internal package to an internal subdirectory:

• Added widgets support (experimental):
  • a websocket opened from the front-end that communicates
    to the kernel, and through it to the users cells.
  • API to use it in gonb/gonbui/widgets.
  • API to communicate with front-end in gonb/gonbui/comms.
    • Listen[T](address) function added to create a channel listening
      to front-end updates.
    • Added --comms_log flag to add verbose logging to the Javascript console.
  • API to manipulate the DOM in gonb/gonbui/dom.
    • Persist() added to persist transient changes to the DOM -- meaning
      dynamically generated HTML and widgets will show up when exporting
      to HTML or when running nbconvert.
• Added gonb/cmd/nbexec to execute notebooks for integration testing --
  nbconvert --execute was not working.
• Added "%wasm" support (experimental):
  • Allows compiling cell to WASM and running that in the notebook. One
    can write widgets like this. Experimental: there are some use cases are not 100% clear. See
    "%help" for details on how this works.
  • Added also github.com/janpfeifer/gonb/gonbui/wasm library with some basic helpers to write
    WASM widgets.
  • Added gonb/examples/wasm_demo.ipynb with a couple of examples of Wasm.
• Improved logging of errors; pre-checking for duplicate package, with improved error message.
• Handle incoming messages in a separated goroutine, so asynchronous/concurrent messages can be
  handled. Specially important when executing cells that take a long time.
  • Serialize "execute_request" and other "busy" type of requests, so they are executed in the order
    they are received.
• Added support for %env VAR=VALUE syntax as well (like ipython uses).

v0.8.0 Tests and Benchmarks

• Added support for tests and benchmarks (go test) with %test.
  See example here,
  and discussion in #58
• Added %gcflags to allow arbitrary compilation flags to be set for GoNB.
  See example here
  and discussion in #58

v0.7.8 Integration tests + bug fixes + go1.21 update

• Added support for --raw_errros, where errors are not reported using HTML. Useful for
  running tests, for instance with nbmake (see #48, by @bagel897).
• Added functional/integration tests by instrumenting nbconvert (bringing coverage from ~25% to ~55%).
• Added run_coverage.sh to include integration tests in coverage report.
• Coverage configured to be generated manually (and not automatically in GitHub actions) -- coverage
  badge still generated in GitHub actions.
• Installation uses $JUPYTER_DATA_DIR, if it is set.
• Fixed proper shutdown.
• Fixed gopls dying when a cell is interrupted.
• Updated go.mod parser dependency for go 1.21 -- since the format changes slightly (see #53).
