IPython 7.24
============
Third release of IPython for 2021, mostly containing bug fixes. A couple of not
typical updates:
Misc
----
- Fix an issue where ``%recall`` would both succeeded and print an error message
it failed. :ghpull:`12952`
- Drop support for NumPy 1.16 – practically has no effect beyond indicating in
package metadata that we do not support it. :ghpull:`12937`
Debugger improvements
---------------------
The debugger (and ``%debug`` magic) have been improved and can skip or hide frames
originating from files that are not writable to the user, as these are less
likely to be the source of errors, or be part of system files this can be a useful
addition when debugging long errors.
In addition to the global ``skip_hidden True|False`` command, the debugger has
gained finer grained control of predicates as to whether to a frame should be
considered hidden. So far 3 predicates are available :
- ``tbhide``: frames containing the local variable ``__tracebackhide__`` set to
True.
- ``readonly``: frames originating from readonly files, set to False.
- ``ipython_internal``: frames that are likely to be from IPython internal
code, set to True.
You can toggle individual predicates during a session with
.. code-block::
ipdb> skip_predicates readonly True
Read-only files will now be considered hidden frames.
You can call ``skip_predicates`` without arguments to see the states of current
predicates:
.. code-block::
ipdb> skip_predicates
current predicates:
tbhide : True
readonly : False
ipython_internal : True
If all predicates are set to ``False``, ``skip_hidden`` will practically have
no effect. We attempt to warn you when all predicates are False.
Note that the ``readonly`` predicate may increase disk access as we check for
file access permission for all frames on many command invocation, but is usually
cached by operating systems. Let us know if you encounter any issues.
As the IPython debugger does not use the traitlets infrastructure for
configuration, by editing your ``.pdbrc`` files and appending commands you would
like to be executed just before entering the interactive prompt. For example:
.. code::
# file : ~/.pdbrc
skip_predicates readonly True
skip_predicates tbhide False
Will hide read only frames by default and show frames marked with
``__tracebackhide__``.

pkgsrc
pkgsrc is a framework for building software for a variety of UNIX-like systems.
It produces binary packages, which can be managed with tools such as
pkgin. pkgsrc is highly configurable, supporting
building packages for an arbitrary installation prefix (the default is
/usr/pkg), allowing multiple branches to coexist on one machine, a
build options framework, and a compiler transformation framework, among
other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation is also supported.
pkgsrc is the default package manager for NetBSD and SmartOS. It's also supported as a first-class option in OmniOS CE and Oasis Linux.
Bootstrapping
To use pkgsrc on operating systems other than NetBSD, you first need to bootstrap:
cd pkgsrc/bootstrap
./bootstrap
Note that this is only for the most simple case, using pkgsrc's defaults.
Please consult bootstrap/README and bootstrap/README.OS for detailed
information about bootstrapping.
Building packages
cd pkgsrc/category/package-name
$PREFIX/bin/bmake install
Where $PREFIX is where you've chosen to install packages
(typically /usr/pkg)
On NetBSD, bmake is simply the built-in make tool.
To build packages in bulk, tools such as pkgtools/pbulk and
pkgtools/pkg_comp can be used.
Community / Troubleshooting
- Join the community IRC channel #pkgsrc @ libera.chat.
- Join the community Matrix room #pkgsrc:nil.im
- Subscribe to the pkgsrc-users mailing list
- Send bugs and patches via web form (use the
pkgcategory).
