Notebook 7 on mybinder.org and repo2docker

Binder

Notebook 7 was released a year ago, and we’re planning to upgrade the default version of notebook on mybinder.org in a couple of weeks. Notebook 7 is based on the same underlying components as JupyterLab, so extensions designed for Notebook 6 and earlier will need to be updated.

If you need the previous version of Jupyter notebook you should install notebook 6.* and jupyter-server 1.*. For example:

requirements.txt:

notebook==6.*
jupyter-server==1.*
jupyterlab==3.*

(jupyterlab 3 is required to avoid pip leaving a broken version of jupyterlab installed)

environment.yml:

name: example-environment
channels:
  - conda-forge
dependencies:
  - notebook=6
  - jupyter_server=1

This may change the installed version of JupyterLab, so only do this if you need the old version of notebook and do not need JupyterLab.

This is now live on mybinder.org! Older cached builds will still have notebook 6, new or uncached builds should have notebook 7.
