  • Add ability to capture validation errors
  • Update supported python versions
  • Ensure nbformat minor version is present when upgrading
  • Only fix cell ID validation issues if asked
  • Return the notebook when no conversion is needed
  • Catch AttributeErrors stemming from ipython_genutils as ValidationErrors on read
  • Don’t list pytest-cov as a test dependency
  • Remove dependency on IPython genutils
  • Include tests in sdist but not wheel

5.1.3

  • Change id generation to be hash based to avoid problematic word combinations
  • Added tests for python 3.9
  • Fixed setup.py build operations to include package data

5.1.2

  • Fixed missing file in manifest

5.1.1

  • Changes convert.upgrade to upgrade minor 4.x versions to 4.5

5.1.0

  • Implemented CellIds from JEP-62
  • Fixed a regression introduced when using fastjsonschema, which does not directly support to validate a “reference”/”subschema”
  • Removed unreachable/unneeded code
  • Added CI workflow for package release on tag push

5.0.8

  • Add optional support for using fastjsonschema as the JSON validation library. To enable fast validation, install fastjsonschema and set the environment variable NBFORMAT_VALIDATOR to the value fastjsonschema.

5.0.7

  • Fixed a bug where default values for validator.get_validator() failed with an import error

5.0.6

  • nbformat.read() function has a better duck-type interface and will raise more meaningful error messages if it can’t parse a notebook document.

5.0.5

  • Allow notebook format 4.0 and 4.1 to have the arbitrary JSON mimebundles from format 4.2 for pragmatic purposes.
  • Support reading/writing path-like objects has been added to read operations.

5.0.4

  • Fixed issue causing python 2 to pick up 5.0.x releases.

5.0.3

  • Removed debug print statements from project.

5.0.2

  • Added schema validation files for older versions. This was breaking notebook generation.

5.0.1

5.0

5.0 on GitHub

  • Starting with 5.0, nbformat is now Python 3 only (>= 3.5)
  • Add execution timings in code cell metadata for v4 spec. "metadata": { "execution": {...}} should be populated with kernel-specific timing information.
  • Documentation for how markup is used in notebooks added
  • Link to json schema docs from format page added
  • Documented the editable metadata flag
  • Update description for collapsed field
  • Documented notebook format versions 4.0-4.3 with accurate json schema specification files
  • Clarified info about name’s meaning for cells
  • Added a default execution_count of None for new_output_cell(‘execute_result’)
  • Added support for handling nbjson kwargs
  • Wheels now correctly have a LICENSE file
  • Travis builds now have a few more execution environments

4.4

4.4 on GitHub

  • Explicitly state that metadata fields can be ignored.
  • Introduce official jupyter namespace inside metadata (metadata.jupyter).
  • Introduce source_hidden and outputs_hidden as official front-end metadata fields to indicate hiding source and outputs areas. NB: These fields should not be used to hide elements in exported formats.
  • Fix ending the redundant storage of signatures in the signature database.
  • nbformat.validate() can be set to not raise a ValidationError if additional properties are included.
  • Fix for errors with connecting and backing up the signature database.
  • Dict-like objects added to NotebookNode attributes are now transformed to be NotebookNode objects; transformation also works for .update().

4.3

4.3 on GitHub

  • A new pluggable SignatureStore class allows specifying different ways to record the signatures of trusted notebooks. The default is still an SQLite database. See Signature storage for more information.
  • nbformat.read() and nbformat.write() accept file paths as bytes as well as unicode.
  • Fix for calling nbformat.validate() on an empty dictionary.
  • Fix for running the tests where the locale makes ASCII the default encoding.
  • Include nbformat-schema files (v3 and v4) in nbformat-schema npm package.
  • Include configuration for appveyor’s continuous integration service.

4.2

4.2.0

4.2 on GitHub

  • Update nbformat spec version to 4.2, allowing JSON outputs to have any JSONable type, not just object, and mime-types of the form application/anything+json.
  • Define basics of authors in notebook metadata. nb.metadata.authors shall be a list of objects with the property name, a string of each author’s full name.
  • Update use of traitlets API to require traitlets 4.1.
  • Support trusting notebooks on stdin with cat notebook | jupyter trust

4.1

4.1.0

4.1 on GitHub
