#Jupyter/IPython newsletter for Date.
Our two terminal interfaces - Jupyter Console and IPython - have switched from using readline to prompt_toolkit, a pure Python library for terminal interaction. Code is now highlighted as you type, and multi-line editing and pasting are much improved. This should also make installation easier - we no longer need pyreadline on Windows or gnureadline on Mac.
Jupyter Console is the Jupyter terminal frontend, which can communicate with kernels to run many different languages. IPython is the single-process Python shell. These changes will arrive in version 5.0 of each package.
People keep reinventing the wheel and write their own git filter that clean-up outputs of notebook in VCS. While we think that output should be stored – for example to be rendered ion nbviewer – we understand the needs for such filters:
Nice to see Jovyans getting together, and write a tool that can easily be installed/uninstalled to add git hooks:

$ pip install nbstripout
$ cd git/repository
$ nbstripout install
