# Jupyter Notebook
The Jupyter notebook is a web-based notebook environment for interactive
computing.
## Maintained versions
We maintain the **two most recently released major versions of Jupyter Notebook**,
Classic Notebook v6 and Notebook v7. Notebook v5 is no longer maintained.
All Notebook v5 users are strongly advised to upgrade to Classic Notebook v6 as soon as possible.
Upgrading to Notebook v7 may require more work, if you use custom extensions, as extensions written
for Notebook v5 or Classic Notebook v6 are not compatible with Notebook v7.
### Notebook v7
The newest major version of Notebook is based on:
- JupyterLab components for the frontend
- Jupyter Server for the Python server
This represents a significant change to the `jupyter/notebook` code base.
To learn more about Notebook v7: https://jupyter.org/enhancement-proposals/notebook-v7/
### Classic Notebook v6
Maintenance and security-related issues only are now being addressed in the `6.5.x` branch.
It depends on `nbclassic` for the HTML/JavaScript/CSS assets.
New features and continuous improvement is now focused on Notebook v7 (see section above).
If you have an open pull request with a new feature or if you were planning to open one, we encourage switching over to the Jupyter Server and JupyterLab architecture, and distribute it as a server extension and / or JupyterLab prebuilt extension. That way your new feature will also be compatible with the new Notebook v7.
## Jupyter notebook, the language-agnostic evolution of IPython notebook
Jupyter notebook is a language-agnostic HTML notebook application for
Project Jupyter. In 2015, Jupyter notebook was released as a part of
The Big Split™ of the IPython codebase. IPython 3 was the last major monolithic
release containing both language-agnostic code, such as the _IPython notebook_,
and language specific code, such as the _IPython kernel for Python_. As
computing spans across many languages, Project Jupyter will continue to develop the
language-agnostic **Jupyter notebook** in this repo and with the help of the
community develop language specific kernels which are found in their own
discrete repos.
