mkdocs-material-9.8.1

[!WARNING]

Material for MkDocs reaches end of life on May 5, 2027. Critical fixes and security updates continue until that date.

We're continuing our work with Zensical, a maintained successor built by the team behind Material for MkDocs. It carries forward what we've learned from building documentation tools with this community, with Markdown authoring, a familiar design, and full control over your content. Zensical is Open Source and MIT-licensed.

You can evaluate Zensical alongside MkDocs using your existing mkdocs.yml. Check plugin compatibility and compare your pages, navigation, search, and customizations before switching. The classic theme variant preserves the appearance of Material for MkDocs. See the migration guide for the steps and current compatibility details.

Upcoming changes on November 5

• Updated Docker base image to Alpine 3.24
• Updated Docker image dependencies to fix vulnerabilities
• Updated Node build-time dependencies to fix vulnerabilities

mkdocs-material-9.8.1 (2026-11-07)

• Updated Docker base image to Alpine 3.24
• Updated Docker image dependencies to fix vulnerabilities
• Updated Node build-time dependencies to fix vulnerabilities

mkdocs-material-9.8.0 (2026-10-24)

This is primarily a security release. It raises dependency minimums to address known vulnerabilities. We recommend upgrading to this release and updating your dependency lockfiles.

Python 3.11 or newer is now required. Python 3.8–3.10 are no longer supported.

• Updated Node build-time dependencies to fix vulnerabilities
• Updated Python dependency minimums and required Python 3.11
• Removed RSS from recommended dependencies
• Updated project status and maintenance links
• Updated CLI notice with end-of-life and migration guidance
• Removed redirects from recommended dependencies

Previous dependency ranges allowed versions with known vulnerabilities. The new minimums cover core Python dependencies and the optional git and imaging extras, including GitPython 3.2.1 or newer for the git extra.

Recent releases of mkdocs-rss-plugin and mkdocs-redirects depend on ProperDocs, a separate static site generator that Material for MkDocs does not require. Removing these plugins from the recommended extra keeps its dependency footprint smaller and leaves the choice of additional tools to each project. If your project uses RSS feeds or redirects, declare the relevant plugin explicitly in your own dependencies.

The CLI notice now gives the May 5, 2027 end-of-life date and links to the Zensical migration guide: https://zensical.org/docs/compatibility/mkdocs/migration/

It also clarifies that third-party ProperDocs migration notices do not represent a recommendation from the Material for MkDocs team. Package metadata now marks the project as inactive and includes maintenance and migration links.

Selected Python security advisories addressed by the new minimums:

Jinja2: affected <=3.1.5; new minimum 3.1.6 (CVE-2025-27516) GHSA-cpwx-vrp4-4pq7

Markdown: affected <3.8.1; new minimum 3.8.1 (CVE-2025-69534) GHSA-5wmx-573v-2qwq

Pygments: affected <2.20.0; new minimum 2.20.0 (CVE-2026-4539) GHSA-5239-wwwm-4pmq

v1.6.3

What's Changed

• Include test fixtures in the sdist by @​timvink in timvink/mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin#240

Full Changelog: timvink/mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin@v1.6.2...v1.6.3

v1.6.2

Fixes

• mkdocs serve now picks up commits made while it runs, including amended commits and changes to the ignored commits file. With --dirty, the initial build is also faster (#215, #236).
• Generated pages get one stable timestamp per build, so both dates match and strict builds no longer warn about them (#231, #232 by @​akashchamp, #237).

Performance

• When enable_creation_date is off, the plugin no longer looks up creation commits. This roughly halves build time on large sites (#238).
