Release notes

Sourced from mkdocs-material's releases.

mkdocs-material-9.8.0

[!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

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. 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:

Dependency	Affected versions	New minimum	Advisory
Jinja2	<=3.1.5	3.1.6	CVE-2025-27516
Markdown	<3.8.1	3.8.1	CVE-2025-69534
Pygments	<2.20.0	2.20.0	CVE-2026-4539
PyMdown Extensions	<=11.0.0	11.0.1	CVE-2026-67422
Requests	<2.33.0	2.33.0	CVE-2026-25645
Pillow	<13.0.0	13.0.0	CVE-2026-96636
CairoSVG	<=2.9.0	2.9.1	CVE-2026-107378
GitPython	<=3.2.0	3.2.1	CVE-2026-114145

Pillow and CairoSVG apply to the imaging extra; GitPython applies to the git extra.

Updates mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin from 1.5.4 to 1.6.1

Release notes

Sourced from mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin's releases.

v1.6.1

Security

• Require GitPython >= 3.2.1, which fixes a remote code execution issue in submodule cloning (GHSA for GitPython "validates a submodule's .git path only after cloning into it").

Maintenance

• Python 3.10 is end-of-life and no longer tested. It can still be installed, but it is no longer supported.

v1.6.0

Highlights

Faster builds

Every page asked git which tag pointed at its commit, and asked again for the site-wide revision commit — the same answer, recomputed for each page. Those lookups are now cached.

The bigger your site, the more you save: on a 1000 page site this removes roughly 18 seconds of build time.

custom_format keeps your own words

If your format had any text around the date directives, that text came out scrambled:

custom_format: "Updated on %d %B %Y"

before:   Up23AMt723 on 23 January 2022
now:      Updated on 23 January 2022

Any format that was made up purely of % directives (including the %d. %B %Y default) was unaffected and still renders exactly as before. Unrecognised directives such as %Q are now left alone instead of being quietly reinterpreted as a different date field.

Creation date commit hash and tag now work

page.meta.git_creation_date_localized_hash and page.meta.git_creation_date_localized_tag were documented but always came back empty. If you use them in a theme override to link back to the commit or release that introduced a page, they now contain what you expect.

Shallow clone warnings reach more setups

The warning that tells you your dates will be wrong because CI only fetched part of the history was silently skipped whenever your .git was not in the directory you ran mkdocs from — a repository inside docs/, or a temporary checkout made by plugins such as monorepo. It now fires there too.

Clearer messages when something goes wrong

• A bad type: now produces a proper MkDocs config error listing the valid values, instead of a bare AssertionError.
• If reading git history in parallel fails, the error explains what enable_parallel_processing: false actually does, rather than suggesting a fallback it never attempted.
• Plugin messages now go through MkDocs' own logger, so they are formatted and coloured like every other message in your build output.

Type hints are now visible

The package ships py.typed, so mypy, pyright and ty can see the plugin's annotations.

Looks like these dependencies are updatable in another way, so this is no longer needed.
