  • Extension migration guide: Add extension migration guide. jupyterlab#7808

• Steve
  • Experimenting with JS loaders and transpilers. Will write up findings and recommendations
  • Investigating a strange bug affecting our browser_check (in core and for extensions)
• Jason
  • Mainly been working on ipywidgets. Upgrading it to JLab 2.0 has worked great. There was a small subtle issue dealing with kernel startup being different now (i.e., no .ready anymore), but it is simpler code now than before, I think.
  • On ipywidgets, we've switched to GitHub Actions and it is great.
• Luciano
  • Finally able to make progress with JupyterLab 2.0 extension migration and trying to look into small ui side effects (e.g. icons, output areas).
    • Lots of changes related to new KernelManager infrastructure/API.
    • Will start contributing to Darian's PR and Blog based on my (our) experience.
  • Released notebook 6.0.3, so it works with Python 3.8 on Windows now!

    • Clean up handling of Icons under unified LabIcon jupyterlab#7767
