- Update to version 7.7.1
* Fix broken link icon for FontAwesome 4 and 5 #3495
* Fix message throttling bug #3494
* Fix state message parsing to be more permissive #3486
* Fix tests on Python 3.11 #3480
* Add better front-page docs #3496
- Release 7.7
* Fix installation on Python 3.10. #3368
* Throw an error if we cannot render a widget, enabling the
rendering system to fall back to rendering a different data
type if available. #3290
* Create a new widget control comm channel, enabling more
efficient fetching of kernel widget state. #3201
* Refactor logic for fetching kernel widget state to the manager
base class. This logic first tries to use the new widget
control comm channel, falling back to the existing method of
requesting each widget's state individually. #3337
* Enable HTMLManager output widgets to render state updates.
#3372
* Do not reset JupyterLab CSS variables if they are already
defined. #3344
* Fix variable inspector example. #3302
* Introduce new widget manager has_model method for synchronously
checking if a widget model is registered. #3377
* Work around bug in Chrome rendering Combobox arrows. #3375
* Optionally echo update messages from frontends to other
frontends. This enables widget views in different frontends to
maintain consistent state simultaneously, and also makes sure
that simultaneous updates from the kernel and frontend resolve
to a consistent state. This is off by default in ipywidgets
