We recently pushed Jupyter Book 2, which was a breaking change for many of our users! We considered publishing a completely different package (e.g., `jupyter-book2`) but decided against it. Here's a quick rationale why:
Why we made a major release for Jupyter Book 2 instead of creating a new package - Jupyter Book: Blog

JupyterBook 2 is released! This is now built on top of the @mystmd.org engine directly.

The @mystmd.org theme now has support for "page edit" buttons! These take you directly to the source page in GitHub so that you can quickly make an edit. They are so useful! Many thanks to Kira for getting this in with her first contribution to the MyST Theme!

New MyST proposal! It's for a short-hand way to add classes/options/labels to roles and directives. Read and comment here: github.com/jupyter-book...

This will unlock a lot of functionality for extending roles in particular, I'm really excited about it!

Still science in 2024: "Our figure 2 shows this result clearly. Please scroll down 30 PAGES to see it..."

PS with @curvenote.com journals, inline figures can go full-width, and any reference to a figure shows it in a hover popup.
