<h1>Changelog<a class="headerlink" href="#changelog" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>This is a record of all past PLYMI releases and what went into them,
in reverse chronological order.</p>
<div class="section" id="id1">
<h2>2022-03-14<a class="headerlink" href="#id1" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Removed the “is palindrome” problem from Module 2.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="id2">
<h2>2022-01-29<a class="headerlink" href="#id2" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Added a section to Module 3 about drop-in automatic differentiation for NumPy, via the library <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/rsokl/MyGrad">MyGrad</a></p></li>
<li><p>Removed instructions for downgrading <cite>jedi</cite> (upstream bug fixed).</p></li>
<li><p>Fixed typos.</p></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="id3">
<h2>2021-02-28<a class="headerlink" href="#id3" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Fixes a syntax error (missing colons) in a code snippet in <a class="reference external" href="https://www.pythonlikeyoumeanit.com/Module2_EssentialsOfPython/ConditionalStatements.html#if,-else,-and-elif">a subsection about conditional expressions</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="id4">
<h2>2021-01-31<a class="headerlink" href="#id4" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Upgrades the tools used to build PLYMI:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>sphinx 3.4.3</p></li>
<li><p>nbsphinx 0.8.1</p></li>
<li><p>jupytext 1.9.1</p></li>
<li><p>sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.1</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Adds a reading comprehension problem in <a class="reference external" href="https://www.pythonlikeyoumeanit.com/Module5_OddsAndEnds/Writing_Good_Code.html#Type-Hinting">the section on type-hinting</a>
to show that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">jedi</span></code> provides annotation-informed autocompletion abilities in notebooks.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="id5">
<h2>2021-01-30<a class="headerlink" href="#id5" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Updated the discussion of <a class="reference external" href="https://www.pythonlikeyoumeanit.com/Module3_IntroducingNumpy/Broadcasting.html#An-Advanced-Application-of-Broadcasting:-Pairwise-Distances">computing pairwise differences</a>
to account for potential floating-point edge cases that can produce “NaNs” as a result.</p>
<p>There is currently an incompatibility between <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">jedi</span> <span class="pre">0.18.0</span></code> and IPython, which breaks autocompletion. See <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/12740">here</a> for more details.
Added temporary callout boxes to the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.pythonlikeyoumeanit.com/Module1_GettingStartedWithPython/Informal_Intro_Python.html">informal introduction to Python</a> and to
the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.pythonlikeyoumeanit.com/Module1_GettingStartedWithPython/Jupyter_Notebooks.html">introduction to Jupyter notebooks</a>, which instruct readers to remedy this by downgrading jedi.</p>
<p>Fixed a missing plot in the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.pythonlikeyoumeanit.com/Module1_GettingStartedWithPython/Jupyter_Notebooks.html">introduction to Jupyter</a> section.</p>
<p>Reformatted the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.pythonlikeyoumeanit.com/Module1_GettingStartedWithPython/Getting_Started_With_IDEs_and_Notebooks.html">section on IDEs</a> and added a description of PyLance.</p>
<p>Add link to <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/rsokl/Learning_Python/discussions">PLYMI’s discussion board</a>.</p>
