5.0.0

• Files in the dashboard may now be sorted by last modified date or name (#943)
• There is a new cell toolbar for adding cell tags (#2048).
• The default styling for tables in the notebook has been updated (#1776).
• You can now edit keyboard shortcuts for Command Mode within the UI
  (#1347).
• You can copy and paste cells between notebooks, using :kbd:Ctrl-C and
  :kbd:Ctrl-V (:kbd:Cmd-C and :kbd:Cmd-V on Mac) (#1286).
• It's easier to configure a password for the notebook with the new
  jupyter notebook password command (#2007).

  (#943).

  your desktop to a markdown cell to add it. Unlike relative links that you
  enter manually, attachments are embedded in the notebook itself. An
  unreferenced attachment will be automatically scrubbed from the notebook on
  save (#621).
• Undoing cell deletion now supports undeleting multiple cells. Cells may not be
  in the same order as before their deletion, depending on the actions you did
  on the meantime, but this should should help reduce the impact of
  accidentally deleting code (#969).
• The file browser now has Edit and View buttons (#1905).

  (#1088).
• The Notebook will refuse to run as root unless the --allow-root flag is
  given (#1115).

  (#1837).
• Header and toolbar visibility is now persisted in nbconfig and across sessions
  (#1769).
• Load server extensions with ConfigManager so that merge happens recursively,
  unlike normal config values, to make it load more consistently with frontend
  extensions(#2108).
• The notebook server now supports the bundler API <http://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extending/bundler_extensions.html>__
  from the jupyter_cms incubator project <https://github.com/jupyter-incubator/contentmanagement>__ (#1579).

  its kernel resource API (#1827).
