Make a release

[jgosmann]

Reasons:

• Last release version won't start and fails with an exception (master works): (edit: apparently I had some weird version installed, but the other points still stand)

Traceback (most recent call last):

• There are commits fixing security flaws: e68273b, 9b515f8
• I wouldn't be opposed to have Actually tie sessions to client #920 and Do not allow access to resources outside of static. #923 merged before a release to mitigate further security concerns if this happens in a timely manner.

Should a release be done before the Summer School?

Main content copied below:

There is also a number of PRs that would be nice to have merged before:

• Control which browser is used #934: Control which browser is used (the default might not work for everyone)
• Use post method for autocompletion. #955: Use post for autocompletion (to prevent potential problems with larger models, it is a simple fix)
• Basic support for nengo_spa. #891: nengo_spa support (given that you wanted to teach the new Nengo SPA this one might be pretty essential)

Furthermore:

• Always pan view when dragging with CTRL or MMB pressed #881: Pan view with Ctrl or MMB (could be quite useful for some)
• Allow configure dialog to open without editor. #911: Allow configure dialog to open without editor (e.g. in IpythonViz, might be useful for some if they use IPythonViz and want to change the backend)
• Implement tunneling of the GUI through Jupyter notebook #921: Implement tunneling of the GUI through Jupyter notebook (this is a large one, but would be awesome), also allows to use the GUI in JupyterLab with jupyterlab-nengo.
• Implement basic status bar #927: Implement basic status bar and Build progress bar #958: Build progress bar (having the build progress bar could be quite useful for some users, but slightly larger PRs)
• Fix resource unavailable bug #815: Fix resource unavailable bugs (I have to look into the details of this PR, but bugfixes are always good?)

Not as relevant for the summer school, but nice to haves imo:

• Fix Python 3 issue in HBB tutorial #959: Fix Python 3 issue in HBB tutorial (maybe not as relevant for the summer school, but a small PR unlikely to hurt)
• Logging instead of print #860: Logging instead of print (probably not relevant to summer school users, but has been lying around for over a year)

Two more PRs good to have:
#960 and #961

Release made! I didn't get #921 in, or #959 and #860 .

Thank you to everyone, and especially to @jgosmann, for all the many fixes and improvements in this release, and for continuing to bug me to get things merged. :)
