Hi all,

Last friday of the month, IPython 7.23 was released recently, and is now available on PyPI, soon on conda-forge; thanks in advance to Nick Bollweg for responding to the conda bots and taking care of all the conda-forge related matters, and many thanks to MrMino who joined us last month and has done a fantastic job responding to user and triaging issues.

## new dependency

IPython now depends on `matplotlib-inline` which extract the inline-backend specific functionalities; it should auto install and is available on conda-forge, but is something to keep in mind if you are managing recipes or distribution packages

## what’s new

You can read more about what is new [here](https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/whatsnew/version7.html).

## upgrade

You can (should) upgrade with pip:

```bash
pip install ipython --upgrade

```

And if you are using conda, once available on conda-forge:

```bash
conda upgrade ipython

```

# maybe no release next month

I might not be available the last friday for releases; so depending on number of changes we might either skip a month, or release a bit later.
