ipython upstream is planning to release a new version around the beginning of march
it will contain many important bugfixes but also many new features.
Upstream may provide a bugfix release for 0.12.1 to fix some important issues but it would still be better to get 0.13 in total.

Most important issue is that the disk format of their notebook has changed, so precise with 0.12 would release with a version which is not forward compatible with notebooks created with 0.13.
Most new features are related to the new notebook and qtconsole which was never released in an earlier ubuntu, the parts released earlier are mostly unchanged beyond what is already in precise.
I am currently using a daily build of ipython at work and privately and it will be well tested.

Please make a decision if 0.13 is acceptable and if yes when would be the latest date it can be added. Upstream hopes to have a release latest before PyCon (7.March I think)
