1.0.9

Here’s what’s new in Release 1.0.9 (4 August 2017):

Bug fixes

• Fixed an error triggered by running a display command on a DataFrame shared from a Scala notebook. PixieDust’s scala magic feature allows users to share variables between Python and Scala Notebooks. Now, such shared Scala DataFrames are correctly displayed from within a Python context (#425).
• PixieApp chart options are now accepted as JSON. Instead of adapting parameters into HTML-style tag attributes, PixieApp developers can now simply paste valid JSON as the element content of the <pd_options> tag (#423).
• Calls to pixiedust.enableJobMonitor() now work properly on Spark 2.1 (#223).
• Fixed an issue where, within a PixieApp, the showColumn attribute would actually hide the column (#383).
• PixieDust display calls to the map render for Google now work correctly when using Python 3.x (#417).

Enhancements

• The local installer experience has been improved. The jupyter pixiedust install command now allows users to more easily install and switch between different versions of the Spark kernel (#348).
