Changed behaviour of port and host assignment

[aschonfeld]

@Kaschmiri so D-Tale will not open a new port for every new piece of data. What is will do is add additional instances to any running port. So say you've loaded one dataframe and it is being displayed on port 40000 with data ID 1. Then you load another dataframe. This will be displayed on port 40000 with data ID 2.

So you'd be able to hit the two pieces of data with these two URLs:

• http://localhost:40000/dtale/main/1
• http://localhost:40000/dtale/main/2

Now if you want to have a different port used everytime then you'll have to specify the port parameter everytime you call dtale.show. This has been the functionality for some time so you must have been working with a very old version.

Here is a pretty good explanation of how data gets routed when you call dtale.show: https://github.com/man-group/dtale?tab=readme-ov-file#startup-behavior

Hope this helps.
