JupyterHub 0.8 is preparing for release, an we would love your help testing.

You can get the beta with:

pip install --pre jupyterhub

Always make sure to backup your database before upgrading JupyterHub.

There are lots of bugfixes and improvements here. Probably most significant is the change to OAuth from cookies for authenticating access to single-user servers. This change means that it is important to upgrade the version of JupyterHub in both the singleuser context and the Hub context at the same time, if the two are different (e.g. in containers). If you are using a container-based image, ensuring you have the right version of JupyterHub should generally be as simple as:

pip install jupyterhub==version

in your Dockerfile.

Other highlights include:

support alternate proxy implementations, such as Kubernetes ingress
enable persisting encrypted authentication state, such as credentials from OAuth services to pass to single-user servers
preliminary (API only) support for multiple named servers per user
support token-authenticated access to single-user servers

There are lots of other things to see in the changelog.

Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Thanks to everyone for testing! We now have jupyterhub 0.8rc2 out with several rough edges polished, and should be ready for a final release of 0.8 by the end of the month.
