  • Version 0.3.0 release is broken on pypi #459

v0.3.0#

Incompatible changes#

  • the output figure numbering is always 1, 2, …, number_of_figures whereas in 0.2.0 it would follow the matplotlib figure numbers. If you include explicitly some figures generated by sphinx-gallery with the .. figure directive in your .rst documentation you may need to adjust their paths if your example uses non-default matplotlib figure numbers (e.g. if you use plt.figure(0)). See #464 <https://github.com/sphinx-gallery/sphinx-gallery/issues/464> for more details.

Developer changes#

  • Dropped support for Sphinx <= 1.4.

  • Refactor for independent rst file construction. Function sphinx_gallery.gen_rst.generate_file_rst does not anymore compose the rst file while it is executing each block of the source code. Currently executing the example script execute_script is an independent function and returns structured in a list the rst representation of the output of each source block. generate_file_rst calls for execution of the script when needed, then from the rst output it composes an rst document which includes the prose, code & output of the example which is the directly saved to file including the annotations of binder badges, download buttons and timing statistics.

  • Binder link config changes. The configuration value for the BinderHub has been changed from url to binderhub_url in order to make it more explicit. The old configuration key (url) will be deprecated in version v0.4.0)

  • Support for generating JUnit XML summary files via the 'junit' configuration value, which can be useful for building on CI services such as CircleCI. See the related CircleCI doc and blog post.

Fixed bugs:

  • First gallery plot uses .matplotlibrc rather than the matplotlib defaults #316

Merged pull requests:

v0.2.0#

New features#

  • Added experimental support to auto-generate Binder links for examples via binder config. Note that this API may change in the future. #244 and #371.

  • Added ignore_pattern configurable to allow not adding some python files into the gallery. See #346 for more details.

  • Support for custom default thumbnails in ‘RGBA’ space #375

Bug Fixes#

  • Fix name string_replace trips on projects with “.py” in path. See #322 and #331 for more details.

  • Fix __future__ imports across cells. See #308 for more details.

  • Fix encoding related issues when locale is not UTF-8. See #311 for more details.

  • In verbose mode, example output is printed to the console during execution of the example, rather than only at the end. See #301 for a use case where it matters.

  • Sphinx only directive for downloads #298

v0.1.3#

New features#

A list of examples that are expected to fail can be defined in conf.py and exit the build with 0 exit code. Alternatively it is possible to exit the build as soon as one example has failed.

  • Print aggregated and sorted list of computation times of all examples in the console during the build.

  • For examples that create multiple figures, set the thumbnail image.
