Hi everyone,

As soon as possible, please upgrade your IPython notebook installation to
3.2.

IPython 3.2 contains important security fixes. Users are strongly
encouraged to upgrade immediately.

Highlights:

* A security improvement that sets the secure attribute of the login cookie
to prevent them from being sent over http
* Revert the face color of matplotlib axes in the inline backend to not be
transparent
* Enable mathjax safe mode by default
* Fix XSS vulnerability in JSON error messages
* Various widget-related fixes

You can get the latest via pip using `pip install --upgrade
ipython[notebook]`. Stay tuned for conda/Anaconda package updates.

A CVE has been requested for the XSS vulnerability in
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.oss.general/17131

Thank you to Ahmad Khan of IBM for reporting the XSS vulnerability and
Jason Grout for setting MathJax safe mode.
