1.1.5

Here’s what’s new in Release 1.1.5 (5 January 2018):

Known issues

• The minimum requirement for Bokeh is 0.12.9. Older versions will experience interactivity problems with charts rendered using Bokeh in PixieDust–most notably lack of zoom controls.

Bug fixes

• PixieDust now properly supports Python’s string format operator: % (percent symbol). Previously when publishing PixieApps, Python statements using % to format strings were not properly resolved (#510).

Enhancements

• PixieApps can now render Markdown syntax using the @captureOutput decorator (introduced in release 1.1.4). When defining PixieApp views, users can choose between HTML or Markdown syntax in order to build apps as quickly and as easily as possible (#542). Example usage for PixieApp Markdown rendering:

from pixiedust.display.app import *
from IPython.display import display_markdown

@PixieApp
class TestMarkdown():
    @route()
    @captureOutput
    def main_screen(self):
            display_markdown("""
# Section Header
## Second *bullet*
1. item1
2. item2
3. item3
            """, raw=True)
TestMarkdown().run()
