Anyone know about compatibility with existing notebooks? Presumably stellar, right?
For now, I need jupytext (which is a great extension), so then I stay with v3.6 until jupytext is resolved.
For this announcement - or in the changelog - it would be great to know why it is a major version bump - what is the major compatibility change?
- abdullahkhalids 3y agoThis is only a change in the interface. I don't think there is any underlying change in the notebook format. Your old notebooks are completely safe. P.S. Juptext is a pretty cool extension https://pypi.org/project/jupytext/ https://pypi.org/project/jupytext/
- smith-kyle 3y agonbformat is reference implementation of the notebook format: https://github.com/jupyter/nbformat https://github.com/jupyter/nbformat No recent major releases. jupytext is great, you can also review your notebooks as `.ipynb` files using GitNotebooks [https://gitnotebooks.com https://gitnotebooks.com]. (I'm the solo dev)
- sva_ 3y agoI would think of JupyterLab as more of an IDE, and the major version bump need not affect their notebook format. I think if they made breaking changes to the notebook format, they'd mention this right away.
