.. _version 8.16:

IPython 8.16

Small double release of IPython (with the 8.12.3 release notes just below).

Mostly bug fixes and cleanups, and type annotations. Of interest for users:

- :ghpull:`14153` Fix a bug of the new iPdb chained traceback where some

Exception would not have any traceback. (see upstream fix in CPython for more

details).

- :ghpull:`14163` Fix an error where semicolon would not suppress output.

- :ghpull:`14168` Fix case with spurious message about event loops when using

matplotlib.

As usual you can find the full list of PRs on GitHub under `the 8.16 milestone

<https://github.com/ipython/ipython/milestone/121?closed=1>`__.
