  25. Fix conda environments not working when ZMQ support is not enabled. Ensure sys.path is setup such that packages installed in selected environments is given preference (imported) over global site-packages. I.e. this fix will ensure packages are first imported from the selected environment, and then from the global site-packages. (#8553)
  26. Apply correct resource settings to notebookFileRoot in multi-root workspaces. (#8561)

  37. Fix problem with markdown cells causing off by one errors in notebooks. (#8769)
  38. Fix for intellisense breaking after typing a magic into a cell other than the first. (#8830)

  2. Make sure submissions include a news file. (#3200)
  3. Consolidate requirements.txt files into a smaller set. (#3992)
  4. Change error message prompting user to install IPykernel into an information message. (#8415)
  5. Display modal dialog when attempting to run Python notebooks without the Python extension installed. (#8416)
  6. Display error message when failing to connect to the remote Jupyter server. (#8474)
  7. Remove jupyter.runMagicCommands (which has been deprecated for over a year) in favor of runStartupCommands. (#8485)
  8. Activate conda environments using conda run. (#8544)
  9. Improvements to progress message displayed when starting kernels. The messages now attempt to provide more information about the progress and hopefully make it easier to understand what is going on (or what is slow when starting a kernel). (#8583)
  10. Update README.md to remove insiders specific references. (#8548)

  12. Fix debugging from the interactive window. (#7650)
  13. Specifying a jupyter command line only makes sense if we need to use jupyter to launch kernels (no ZMQ support). (#7724)

  24. Avoid losing ipywidgets kernel communications when switching kernel. (thanks sdissegna-maystreet) (#8085)

Code Health

  1. Replace instances of traceInfoIf with traceInfoIfCI as almost all of them were just for CI tracing. (#7574)
  2. Upgrade to the latest jupyterlab/services API for communicating with kernels and jupyter servers. (#7675)
