Log of Major Tutorial Updates¶
How to find version histories¶
Notebook tutorials¶
All Jupyter Notebook tutorial headers contain the date “last verified to run”. If the date in the file you are using does not match the date shown in that file in the “prod” branch of the tutorial-notebooks repository, your version is out of date. Follow the instructions for what to do if notebooks do not automatically update in the Troubleshooting tips.
A full history for all tutorial notebooks can be accessed in GitHub via this direct link to the commit log for the tutorial-notebooks repository.
The full history for any given tutorial notebook can be accessed via GitHub by going to the notebook of interest (e.g., the introduction to DP0.2 notebook), and clicking on “history” (near upper-right).
Portal, command line, and API tutorials¶
All Portal, command line, and API tutorials contain the date last verified to run near the top of their page.
All tutorials for the Portal aspect, for the command line (Notebook Aspect), and for the API aspect are kept in the dp0-2_lsst_io repository.
The full history for any given tutorial can be accessed via GitHub by going to the tutorial of interest (e.g., the beginner Portal tutorial), and clicking on “history” (near upper-right).

In notebooks 02 and 06b, deprecated Bokeh keyword arguments “plot_height” and “plot_width” were replaced with “height” and “width”. The same two notebooks were updated to cast the objectId to a string, because Bokeh was not able to handle such large integers.
An update that was required in many notebooks was replacing “get_tap_service()” with “get_tap_service(“tap”)” (due to deprecation of the former syntax).
Finally, calls to the deprecated method “butler.getDirect()” were replaced with “butler.get()” in a few places.
