7.1.0

IPykernel 7.1.0 fixes an issue where display outputs such as Matplotlib plots were not included when using %notebook magic to save sessions as .ipynb files (#1435). This is enabled using the traitlet ZMQDisplayPublisher.store_display_history which defaults to the previous behaviour of False. This is a minor release rather than a patch release due to the addition of the new traitlet.

Output from threads is restored to the pre-6.29 behavior by default (route to latest cell, unless get_ipython().set_parent() is called explicitly from the thread. If it is called, output from that thread will continue to be routed to the same cell). This behavior is now opt-in, instead of unconditional (#1451).

This release also fixes bugs that were introduced into the 7.x branch relating to Matplotlib plots in separate windows not being displayed correctly (#1458), kernels launched in new threads failing asserts (#1455), and ContextVars persisting between cells (#1462). There is also a fix for keyboard interrupts on Windows (#1434).
