 IPython 7.29
 ============
 
 
 IPython 7.29 brings a couple of new functionalities to IPython and a number of bugfixes.
 It is one of the largest recent release, relatively speaking, with close to 15 Pull Requests.
 
 
 - fix an issue where base64 was returned instead of bytes when showing figures :ghpull:`13162`
 - fix compatibility with PyQt6, PySide 6 :ghpull:`13172`. This may be of
   interest if you are running on Apple Silicon as only qt6.2  is natively
   compatible.
 - fix matplotlib qtagg eventloop :ghpull:`13179`
 - Multiple docs fixes, typos, ... etc.
 - Debugger will now exit by default on SigInt :ghpull:`13218`, this will be
   useful in notebook/lab if you forgot to exit the debugger. "Interrupt Kernel"
   will now exist the debugger.
 
 It give Pdb the ability to skip code in decorators. If functions contain a
 special value names ``__debuggerskip__ = True|False``, the function will not be
 stepped into, and Pdb will step into lower frames only if the value is set to
 ``False``. The exact behavior is still likely to have corner cases and will be
 refined in subsequent releases. Feedback welcome. See the debugger module
 documentation for more info. Thanks to the `D. E. Shaw
 group <https://deshaw.com/>`__ for funding this feature.
 
 The main branch of IPython is receiving a number of changes as we received a
 `NumFOCUS SDG <https://numfocus.org/programs/small-development-grants>`__
 ($4800), to help us finish replacing ``nose`` by ``pytest``, and make IPython
 future proof with an 8.0 release.
 
 
 Many thanks to all the contributors to this release. You can find all individual
 contributions to this milestone `on github

 Thanks as well to the `D. E. Shaw group <https://deshaw.com/>`__ for sponsoring
