- Highlight matching parentheses [#147](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_console/pull/147)
- The config option `JupyterConsoleApp.confirm_exit` replaces `ZMQTerminalInteractiveShell.confirm_exit`, to avoid redundancy [#141](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_console/pull/141)

## 5.2

- When using a kernel that the console did not start, exiting with Ctrl-D now leaves it running [#127](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_console/pull/127)
- Added Ctrl-\\ shortcut to quit the console [#130](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_console/pull/130)

- better indication of whether image data was handled [#77](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_console/pull/77)

### Prompts improvement

- use prompt_toolkit 1.0 [#74](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_console/pull/74)
- don't use prompt_manager [#75](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_console/pull/75)
- remove `colors_force` flag that have no effects [#88](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_console/pull/88)
