mkdocs-material-9.7.7

[!WARNING]

Material for MkDocs is approaching end of life

Material for MkDocs is scheduled to reach end of life on November 5, 2026. Until then, maintenance is limited to critical bug fixes and security updates. After this date, the project will remain available on PyPI and GitHub, but no further maintenance is planned except in exceptional circumstances.

For users looking for a long-term, actively developed successor, we're building Zensical – a next-generation static site generator designed for technical documentation. If you're planning a new documentation project or evaluating your long-term options, we invite you to take a look.

Organizations requiring support beyond this date are welcome to get in touch to discuss available options.

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.
