4.0.0-dev.6

Changes 4.0.0 (in development)

• Since Cate App is now designed to work inside of Jupyter Lab and standalone,
  The user login action is no longer required because users already log into
  JupyterLab. Therefore, all code dealing with user login and Cate service
  provisioning in the cloud has been removed. Other changes include:

  • Added a new user action to open Cate App in a browser tab available, if
    Cate App is initially opened in a JupyterLab widget.
  • Added a new user action to shut down the Cate server
    in order to release memory.
  • Removed the top level Files menu, because file management can
    be effectively done through JupyterLab.
  • Removed the user action to install Cate App as a Desktop PWA.
  • Removed proxy configuration from user preferences dialog.
  • Rephrased filesystem info from "sandboxed / full access" to
    "restricted / unrestricted".

• The following changes apply to the "local" data store because the server
  now serves local files from the current working directory. This has been
  done to let Cate integrated with Jupyter Lab pick up all datasets found
  in the Lab's workspace.

  • Users can now refresh the list of files from the "local" data store.
  • Users can no longer add/remove data sources to the "local" data store.
    This is a temporary change. We may reassign add/remove actions to perform
    a filtering on the local datasets.

• Now using workspace identifiers instead of base directories in resource
  URLs of the WebAPI. This way we no longer need to URL-encode workspace
  directories in WebAPI URLs, which did not work with
  jupyter-server-proxy.

• Slightly improved readability of dataset titles generated from identifiers
  if titles are missing.
