0.5.0 Release Plan

[martinRenou]

Problem

0.4.0 was out a couple of days ago and we already started merging breaking changes!

We should start considering making an 0.5.0 release.

Proposed Solution

This is the milestone for 0.5.0 https://github.com/voila-dashboards/voila/milestone/10

We can start adding issues and PRs to it.

[martinRenou]

Thoughts about including the Voila + FPS PR into this milestone? #984

[martinRenou]

We could also include the Voilite work into this release #1187

[martinRenou]

The first alpha is out https://github.com/voila-dashboards/voila/releases/tag/v0.5.0a0

[martinRenou]

I'm working on including #1249

[mangecoeur]

Hi, I'd be interested in the FPS functionality being merged into Voila, I would be happy to help in any way I can! I'm especially interested in combing voila with FPS Auth.

[trungleduc]

@mangecoeur we had a PR to integrate FPS into voila (#984). But since we are dropping FPS in favor of another framework (jupyter-server/jupyverse#277), FPS won't be maintained anymore (jupyter-server/fps#50). We will come back to this subject once jupyverse is stabilized.

@jtpio @martinRenou I opened an issue (#1304) for migrating voila to lab 4.

[jtpio]

Sounds good thanks @trungleduc.

[jtpio]

Adding #539 to the milestone to have it on the radar.

We should check Voila can run offline or in self-contained mode that doesn't make requests to external services. Hopefully should be easier now with #846.

This was also brought in https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/running-voila-without-internet/13823.

0.5.0a5 is out with the JupyterLab 4 migration! https://pypi.org/project/voila/0.5.0a5

Congrats @trungleduc !

[martinRenou]

@mariobuikhuizen @maartenbreddels friendly ping :)

We just released 0.5.0a5, I wonder if you would have the same issue with this one you had before.

If you have time to test it that'd be great!

[mariobuikhuizen]

Thanks for the ping @martinRenou. For voila-vuetify and ipypopout we hook in to the internals of the voila frontend code, which has substantially changed. We have to make changes to voila-vuetify and ipypopout to make it compatible with the new frontend code. I don't think this can be fixed in voila and also isn't a defect in voila, so it shouldn't block the release of 0.5.0.

[martinRenou]

We may want to try including fixes for the following issues (that may be easy to fix with the new usage of JupyterLab mime renderers):

• Voila cannot show Greek letter (latex format) correctly #516
• yaml display using IPython.display.Markdown works JupyterLab but not Voila #1159

@jtpio Should we postpone this to an 0.5.1? This could be done in a backward compatible way.

Probably it would be fine yes. This could be added as configurable options to keep the same defaults as in 0.5.0 but let users change them if needed (and mentioned in the docs).

[martinRenou]

Do we actually need to make it configurable? If only fontawesome is the issue, Voila could ship its version of fontawesome in the static folder (maybe done at build time and not committed in the repo), similar to what we do for https://github.com/voila-dashboards/voila/blob/main/hatch_build.py#L12

FYI I'm addressing #846 (comment)

Thanks! Wondering if that would fix #516

I will investigate it.
