When making a new pull request that either adds a new feature, or makes a
backwards-incompatible change to IPython, please add a new .rst file in this
directory documenting this change as a part of your Pull Request.
This will allow multiple Pull Requests to do the same without conflicting with one another. Periodically, IPython developers with commit rights will run a script and populate development.rst with the contents of this directory, and clean it up.
Files which describe new features can have any name, such as
antigravity-feature.rst, whereas backwards incompatible changes must have
have a filename starting with incompat-, such as
incompat-switching-to-perl.rst. Our "What's new" files always have two
sections, and this prefix scheme will make sure that the backwards incompatible
changes get routed to their proper section.
