Hello We currently have IPython 5.1 in the archive.
Upstream has announced [1][2] IPython/Jupyter 5.x as an LTS branch (36 months support, ending July 2019), and the last version to support Python 2.7. The first releases of IPython 6 (supporting Python 3 only) are now available. There seem to be several possibilities: * Stick with 5.x only for this cycle * Stick with 5.x as the default for 2 and 3 and provide an alternative 6.x package for python 3 * Stick with 5.x only for python 2.7 and create a separate ipython 6.x source package for python 3 This decision probably only needs to be made for the "user visible" components of jupyter (ipython, ipykernel and their dependencies); the application/script parts (nbconvert, jupyter-notebook, qtconsole, etc) can probably be moved to be python 3 only when required.
