Release 4.2 adds a new API for enabling and installing extensions.
Extensions can now be enabled at the system-level, rather than just
per-user. An API is defined for installing directly from a Python
package, as well.
Highlighted changes:
- Upgrade MathJax to 2.6 to fix vertical-bar appearing on some
equations.
- Restore ability for notebook directory to be root (4.1 regression)
- Large outputs are now throttled, reducing the ability of output
floods to kill the browser.
- Fix the notebook ignoring cell executions while a kernel is starting
by queueing the messages.
- Fix handling of url prefixes (e.g. JupyterHub) in terminal and edit
pages.
- Support nested SVGs in output.
And various other fixes and improvements.
