Hi all,

I pinned `compas-notebook=0.3.3` some time ago as a dependency for [jax\_fdm](https://github.com/arpastrana/jax_fdm) and it worked like a charm. Until Github actions told me otherwise last week.

Is there a pip- or conda-installable version of `compas-notebook` that supports `compas<2.0` out of the box?

I was surprised not only to see that version `0.3.3` was not available on `pypi` anymore, but that all previous and subsequent published versions of `compas-notebook` on `pypi` require `compas>2.0`.  
`jax_fdm` will be pinned to `compas<2.0` for the next couple of months, but I need `compas-notebook` to continue working smoothly with a group of collaborators for the coming weeks on a project that relies on displaying stuff on jupyter notebooks / google colab.

Thanks for your help,  
~Rafael

hi rafael,

`compas_notebook` is indeed meant for COMPAS 2 only, and has no releases that are compatible with COMPAS 1.

the version of `compas_notebook` that was available on PyPI for COMPAS 1 was unfortunately a very old and accidental release that has been replaced completely.

if you let me know which functionality you need specifically, perhaps we can come up with a temp solution for your current collaboration?

best,  
tom

@Li_Chen do you still have a version of the old `compas_notebook` backed up somewhere?

@arpastrana could you check if a source install with this repo works for you? then we can take it from there…

Hey @tomvanmele, thanks for the access to the old repo! I got it. Let me test the source install later today and get back to you as soon as I have news.

Hi @tomvanmele. I have cloned and installed that repo from source. I need to mirror the code to a public repository on my account to be able to install it on google collab via `!pip install git+<repo url>`. I went ahead and did it to check if it works on collab. It does. But to double check, would we be okay with me republishing the code? Thanks.

Excellent, thanks for helping me resolve this!  
In other things, is there a summary somewhere that informs compas developers about what changed (especially what doesn’t work anymore) between compas 1 and 2, and how to migrate between versions? This would be very helpful to speed up the transitioning.

Wish I could go! But you know, Zurich is a bit far at the moment 🤓 Looking forward to the outcomes of the dev day and to the migration guide!
