⚠️ Material for MkDocs is now in maintenance mode

This is the last release of Material for MkDocs that will receive new features. Going forward, the Material for MkDocs team focuses on Zensical, a next-gen static site generator built from first principles. We will provide critical bug fixes and security updates for Material for MkDocs for 12 months at least.

This release includes all features that were previously exclusive to the Insiders edition. These features are now freely available to everyone.

Note on deprecated plugins: The projects and typeset plugins are included in this release, but must be considered deprecated. Both plugins proved unsustainable to maintain and represent architectural dead ends. They are provided as-is without ongoing support.
