Hi Guys, First of all, congrats on the release! However, it's hard to get information about this release. The website is a little terse, and even http://ipython.org/news.html stops at 3.2. Is there some plans to add support for compressed notebooks? I don't particularly thinks this is needed, however, my package features documentation as notebooks installed in /usr/share/doc. And debian tools _love_ to compress about everything that is in /usr/share/doc. So I have to struggle with these tools to be able to get readable documentation. However, it is not particularly stupid either to compress these files, and I expect more packages will face the same problem as I did. So you might want to consider support for such notebooks? Thanks! FWIW, from https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html > 12.3 Additional documentation > > Any additional documentation that comes with the package may be installed at the discretion of the package maintainer. Plain text documentation should be installed in the directory /usr/share/doc/package, where package is the name of the package, and compressed with gzip -9 unless it is small.
