1.1.2

Here’s what’s new in Release 1.1.2 (8 November 2017):

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue with duplicate requests when running the StockViewer sample PixieApp as a web application (#483).
• PixieDust can now run the same code in multiple notebooks locally with Spark. Previously, running the same code across multiple notebooks locally, such as PixieDust’s sampleData() API, generated an error (#496).
• Refactored PixieGateway into its own GitHub repo to run in IBM’s Data Science Experience environment and updated PixieGateway documentation (#498 and #495).

Enhancements

• Released alpha version of PixieGateway admin dashboard, with a streamlined UI. DevOps users of PixieGateway can now access a list of PixieApps deployed to the gateway and a list of running kernels with real-time statistics (#487 and #501).
• Added the ability to display() JSON directly. PixieDust now supports native rendering of data dictionaries, or an array of dictionaries, without having to first convert them into Pandas DataFrames (#489).
• Added functionality to embed PixieDust charts into a regular web application, such as a web app that was not generated via PixieApp web publishing (#493).
• Improved PixieApp web publishing to allow developers to publish to a specific kernel. Previously, all PixieApps were published into the default Python kernel (#486).
