----------
**Changed**
- Jupytext's default contents manager is now derived from the asynchronous AsyncLargeFileManager. Thanks to [Darshan Poudel](https://github.com/Darshan808) for making this finally happen ([#1328](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/pull/1328))!
- The MyST frontmatter found in MyST Markdown notebooks is now mapped to a YAML header at the top of the Jupyter notebook. This way MyST notebooks in either the `md:myst` or `ipynb` format can be used with MyST. Thanks to [Ian Carroll](https://github.com/itcarroll) for proposing and implementing this change ([#1314](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/1314))
- The [percent format](https://jupytext.readthedocs.io/en/latest/formats-scripts.html#the-percent-format) is now the default format for scripts. If you run `jupytext --to py notebook.ipynb` you now get a `py:percent` script (use `--to py:light` for the light format) [1201](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/pull/1201)
- The `rst2md` conversion now works with `sphinx-gallery>=0.8`. Thanks to [Thomas J. Fan](https://github.com/thomasjpfan) for fixing this! ([#1334](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/pull/1334))
- We have updated the JupyterLab extension dependencies ([1300](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/pull/1300), [#1355](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/pull/1355), [#1360](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/pull/1360)). Thanks to [Mahendra Paipuri](https://github.com/mahendrapaipuri) for these PRs!
**Added**
- The context menu has a "New Text Notebook" entry. Thanks to [Mahendra Paipuri](https://github.com/mahendrapaipuri) for this PR ([#1365](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/pull/1365))!
**Fixed**
- We have added and fixed round trip tests on MyST Markdown notebooks ([759](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/759), [#789](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/789), [#1267](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/1267), [#1317](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/1317))
- The `--quiet` option now works with the `--pipe` mode of Jupytext CLI ([1305](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/1305))
- Jupytext is now compatible with the cell toolbar extension - thanks to [Nicolas Brichet](https://github.com/brichet) for the fix! ([#1358](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/pull/1358))
- The project description on PyPI now uses absolute links ([1287](https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext/issues/1287))
