[IPython-dev] [ANN] IPython 3.0

[Matthias Bussonnier]

Hi all, 

Thanks to the team for the hard work, and everyone for sticking around, supporting us, and helping us during this last year. I just want to add that you can try out the new release now in your browser at:

http://try.jupyter.org

Thanks to Rackspace, @rgbkrk and @smashwilson, we can deploy temporary Docker containers so that you can test it online with no installation.

We also had valuable financial support from the Sloan and Simons foundations, which allows several of us to work full time on IPython and Jupyter.

Google is also participating financially, and by allowing some of its employees to work on JupyterDrive.

We also thank Microsoft and Numfocus for funding which allowed Jon to work on the widgets. 

Sylvain and Jason also worked on widgets, with support from their employer, Bloomberg.

I'll also underline Quantopian, for Scott's time to integrate the PostGres content manager, as well as Continuum for helpful discussion, Damián's contributions, and allowing me in particular to attend the Strata conference in San José this year.

We have already starting merging PRs for 3.1, so have fun testing and please report any bugs !

Happy coding,
