<h1>Roadmap to 1.0 and Beyond<a class="headerlink" href="#roadmap-to-1-0-and-beyond" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>

<p>TL;DR summary: Hi! IPython 1.0 coming mid-August 2013. See the <a class="reference external" href="http://ipython.org/sloan-grant.html">grant</a> which is

funding the bulk of the work, as well as our <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/Roadmap:-IPython">roadmap</a> for achieving the

grant&#8217;s objectives.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s been a lot of excitement on about the grant the IPython team received

from the Sloan Foundation. The easiest way to communicate the contents of the

Sloan grant is to just provide it in its entirety, which is what we&#8217;ve done

with direct links for <a class="reference external" href="http://ipython.org/_static/sloangrant/sloan-grant.html">html</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://ipython.org/_static/sloangrant/sloan-grant.pdf">pdf</a> version.</p>

<p>The interested reader will find a description of changes coming to IPython

over the next two years, as well as the motivation behind them, and the

personnel involved. (For example, the astute reader of the grant will

correctly infer that this email is one way in which I am filling my

responsibility as &#8220;community engagement and evangelism&#8221;... GO TEAM!)</p>

<p>Two weeks ago, the bulk of IPython&#8217;s core contributors had a series of

planning sessions. For three days, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/ellisonbg">Brian</a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/fperez">Fernando</a>, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/minrk">Min</a>, and

<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/ivanov">I</a> met on campus in Berkeley, with <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/takluyver">Thomas</a> and <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/Carreau">Matthias</a>

joining in via video teleconference (and <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/bfroehle">Brad</a>, for one of the days, too).</p>

<p>You can see the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/Dev:-Meeting-notes,-February-6,-2013">full notes from those meetings</a>.</p>

<p>Our primary objective was to outline a plan of what work we want to accomplish

in the next two years (broadly speaking) as well as to make concrete goals for

our next (1.0!) release, which will land around mid-August 2013.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s kind of funny that there&#8217;s a message from Fernando to [ipython-user] back

in April of 2005 titled <a class="reference external" href="http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-April/002648.html">&#8220;Towards IPython 1.0, the famous big cleanup&#8221;</a>. In

it, Fernando makes a last call for outstanding critical bugs because he&#8217;s

preparing users for a transition toward big changes in the IPython code base.

Because, once he makes the first commit and starts working on the cleanup,

he&#8217;ll have to ignore every request made &#8220;until the new shiny ipython emerges

from the process, reborn in a glory which shall blind the world.&#8221; Toward the

end of the email, he finishes with: &#8220;I hope the changes will be worth it, and

when the dust settles, we&#8217;ll have something we can call IPython 1.0&#8221;... And

eight years and a few months after that email was sent, we will! :)</p>

<p>What will 1.0 look like? Biggest changes on the user side will be the

integration of <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/ipython/nbconvert">nbconvert</a> into IPython proper. But that&#8217;s just my summary

of it, the interested reader is encouraged to read the gory details in the

<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/Roadmap:-IPython">roadmap</a>.</p>

<p>that&#8217;s it from me for now,</p>

<p>best,</p>

<p>Paul Ivanov</p>
