Remove special instructions for IPython 5.0
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The installation section still contained a paragraph on working around a specific issue in the notebook 5.0. That issue was fixed in 5.1 and the notebook is actually on version > 6 now, so it seems that that note is no longer needed.

This particular notebook workaround is confusing and I personally don't like tinkering with the defaults if I can avoid it because I never know how they impact my other projects or how these changes are carried forward in upgrades. Since this issue seems to be relevant only for a very specific notebook version that is now a thing of the past, I suggest to remove that paragraph.
(See links in the removed text to stackoverflow and the related notebook issues that show that the issue was resolved.)

"In version 5.0 of the Jupyter notebook, limits on data rates were added that unfortunately also prevent image output from showing up in many cases.
