reloading code.
* PR #14039 (and PR #14040) to show exception notes in
tracebacks.
* PR #14076 Add option to EventManager to prevent printing
## SPEC 0 and SPEC 4
* You’ve heard about the NEPs, (NumPy enhancement Proposal),
having a NEP for something non-numpy specific was sometime
confusing. Long live the SPECs.
* We are now trying to follow SPEC 0 (aka old NEP 29) for of
support of upstream libraries.
* We also now try to follow SPEC 4 (test and publish nightly on a
centralized nightly repository). We encourage you to do so as
well in order to report breakage, and contribute to the SPEC
process !
## Python 3.12 compatibility ?
* Python 3.12 changed its tokenizer to have better support for
f-strings and allow arbitrary expression. This is a great new
feature and performance improvement in python 3.12.
* Unfortunately this means the new tokenizer does not support
incomplete or invalid Python which will break many features of
IPython. Thus compatibility of IPython with Python 3.12 is not
guarantied. It is unclear to which extent IPython is affected,
and whether we can/should try to still support magics, shell
escape (! ....), …, as well as how to do it if we can.
* In addition even if we there is technical feasibility to do so,
it is no clear we have the resources to do it. We are thus
looking for your help if you can _test_ on Python 3.12 to see
to which extent this affects users and which features are
critical.
* We are not going to pin IPython to Python <3.12 as otherwise on
install pip would downgrade/resolve to IPython 8.13, so if you
plan to update to Python 3.12 after its release, we encourage
for extra care.
