Description

This release incorporates several new backend features that make building faster and more reproducible, in addition to the usual updates of versions and new libraries. In particular:

  • The Python gds environment is now built from scratch, rather than added on top of the base environment provided by minimal-notebook. This makes resolving the versions a lot faster and does not create conflicts with some libraries as in the past.
  • The gds environment is automatically turned on in the container, so the user should see no difference with the past model in accessing geo libraries
  • The gds environment is built from a single .yml file that includes all downloads (also from pip), and which can thus be used to recreate the environment in other contexts if necessary
  • The python and R kernels are renamed to include the version of the GDS env and also point to the appropriate environment. The base kernel that ships with minimal-notebook is hidden to avoid confusion (though the environment itself is present in the container).

Main additions as detailed in #80
