[ANN] kernel_gateway 1.2.0

[Peter Parente]

Hi all,

We released version 1.2.0 of Jupyter Kernel Gateway earlier this week.

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 v1.2.0 changes

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

* Add command line option to whitelist environment variables for POST /api/kernels

* Add support for HTTPS key and certificate files

* Improve the flow and explanations in the api_intro notebook

* Fix incorrect use of metadata.kernelspec.name as a language name instead of metadata.language.info

* Fix lingering kernel regression after Ctrl-C interrupt

* Switch to a conda-based dev setup from docker
