ipython/ipykernel v7.0.0a2 on GitHub

7.0.0a2

Pre-release of ipykernel with experimental subshell support on top of tornado/asyncio. The previous version 7 pre-releases used anyio but that will no longer be in ipykernel 7.

Note the changelog here is not correct, presumably due to the recent branch renaming. For the full release this will have to be manually curated so that it is accurate. The "Full Changelog" link below is accurate.
