Hi,  
I wanted to install the ipywidgets extension for Jupyterlab.  
But this compatibility list shows that only Jupyterlab\<=0.35 works with ipywidgets:

> **[jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets](https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets/tree/master/packages/jupyterlab-manager#version-compatibility)**
>
> Interactive Widgets for the Jupyter Notebook. Contribute to jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets development by creating an account on GitHub.

Is it possible to work around this limitation?  
Do we have to work with an older Jupyterlab if our notebooks require ipywidgets?  
Can ipywidgets update for Jupyterlab 1.0 be expected in the near future?

Thank you  
Josh

@josh I think the page you linked has not been updated yet.

JupyterLab 1.0 is compatible with ipywidgets 7.5. To install `jupyterlab-manager` you can run the command without specifying a version:

```bash
conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab=1.0 ipywidgets=7.5
jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager

```

And double-check it is correctly installed with:

`jupyter labextension list`

@josh [the doc](https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets/tree/master/packages/jupyterlab-manager#version-compatibility) has now been updated.
