@@ -540,7 +540,7 @@ Other Enhancements
 - HTML table output skips ``colspan`` or ``rowspan`` attribute if equal to 1. (:issue:`15403`)
 - ``pd.io.api.Styler`` template now has blocks for easier extension, :ref:`see the example notebook <style.ipynb#Subclassing>` (:issue:`15649`)
 - ``pd.io.api.Styler.render`` now accepts ``**kwargs`` to allow user-defined variables in the template (:issue:`15649`)
-
+- Compatability with Jupyter notebook 5.0; MultiIndex column labels are left-aligned and MultiIndex row-labels are top-aligned (:issue:`15379`)
 
 - ``TimedeltaIndex`` now has a custom datetick formatter specifically designed for nanosecond level precision (:issue:`8711`)
 - ``pd.api.types.union_categoricals`` gained the ``ignore_ordered`` argument to allow ignoring the ordered attribute of unioned categoricals (:issue:`13410`). See the :ref:`categorical union docs <categorical.union>` for more information.
