[ANN] kernel_gateway 2.1.0

[Kevin Bates]

Hi all,

We released Jupyter Kernel Gateway 2.1.0 today.

What is it?

-----------

The kernel gateway is a web server that supports different mechanisms for spawning and communicating with Jupyter kernels, such as:

* A Jupyter Notebook server-compatible HTTP API used for requesting kernels and talking the Jupyter kernel protocol with the kernels over Websockets

* A HTTP API defined by annotated notebook cells that maps HTTP verbs and resources to code to execute on a kernel

The server launches kernels in its local process/filesystem space. It can be containerized and scaled out using common technologies like tmpnb, Cloud Foundry, and Kubernetes.

jupyter_kernel_gateway v2.1.0 changes

-------------------------------------

* Adds x_header configuration option for use behind proxies

* Allow access from remote hosts (Notebook 5.6)

* Update dependencies of Jupyter components

* Include LICENSE file in wheels

* Update Kernel Gateway test base class to be compatible with Tornado 5.0

* Add reason argument to set_status() so that custom messages flow back to client

* Add whitelist of environment variables to be inherited from gateway process by kernel

* Fix broken links to notebook-http mode page in docs

* Fix bug when getting kernel language in notebook-http mode
