Update the IQSharp.Jupyter Version #875

Closed ScottCarda-MS closed 1 year ago

That's correct, since the Katas are consumed by the user directly, alpha versions that can be trickier to obtain and might not be as stable as the released versions should not typically be used by the main branch.

What is the goal of this update? Can it be done only in the Microsoft.Quantum.Katas.csproj file only, as the first commit tried to do, so that the parts of the project used by the end users remain on the released version?

There were component governance issues with the older version of the IQ# package. After having fixed the issues in IQ#, this version update is trying to take on the fixed version of IQ# to resolve the cascading component governance issues in Quantum Katas.

We definitely cannot make the update like this - mcr.microsoft.com/quantum/iqsharp-base:0.27.47569-alpha is not published so Binder cannot build an image of this version for online use. I think making an alpha version usable by the external users would take a lot of steps we do in a release.

Is there a way in component governance to mark the issue as "will be fixed next week"? We're days away from the next QDK release, and if it includes this fix, we won't need to figure out a workaround for using the alpha version.

Sure, I think we can hold off on updating the IQ# version referenced until after the release, then use the new release version of IQ# instead of the alpha.
