Hi all,

IPython 7.9 was released a couple of minutes ago, and is now available on PyPI, soon on conda-forge. As almost usual monthly releases on the last Friday of each month.

You can update with

```bash
pip install ipython --upgrade

```

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

```bash
conda upgrade ipython

```

This is a small release, only bug fixes and documentation updates. You can read the [what’s new section](https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/whatsnew/version7.html#ipython-7-9-0) to learn more about this release (docs currently building).

Non-Jupyter work has been quite busy for me – my team size at UC Merced shrank by 33% so the two remaining team member have temporarily 50% more work… – , so I didn’t had the time to do a release last month, and still have a number of PR to review and update; thanks to everyone who has a PR or issue opened for their patience. We are of course always looking for help.
