New release

[davidbrochart]

It would be nice to make a new release, so that the AsyncKernelManager can go into jupyter_server: jupyter-server/jupyter_server#191

[kevin-bates]

This would be helpful for jupyter/notebook#4479 and jupyter-server/enterprise_gateway#580 as well.

and please fix #523

[davidbrochart]

It is fixed in ipython/ipykernel#489, it has to be merged in ipykernel and I cannot do that.

I'm good with doing a release this week. There's a number of downstream clients waiting for the changes. I'll plan to get that going tomorrow unless there's any pending issues unresolved someone knows about that I missed.

[MSeal]

6.1.0 is released. I'll probably skip announcing it more broadly and leave the async support announcement when our downstream libraries have released it as well.

Awesome - thanks Matthew!
