1.6.0

Local preview

• mkdocs serve no longer locks up the browser when more than 5 tabs are open. This is achieved by closing the polling connection whenever a tab becomes inactive. Background tabs will no longer auto-reload either - that will instead happen as soon the tab is opened again. Context: #3391

• New flag serve --open to open the site in a browser.
  After the first build is finished, this flag will cause the default OS Web browser to be opened at the home page of the local site.
  Context: #3500

Drafts

[!warning] Changed from version 1.5:

The exclude_docs config was split up into two separate concepts.

The exclude_docs config no longer has any special behavior for mkdocs serve - it now always completely excludes the listed documents from the site.

If you wish to use the "drafts" functionality like the exclude_docs key used to do in MkDocs 1.5, please switch to the new config key draft_docs.

See documentation.

Other changes:

• Reduce warning levels when a "draft" page has a link to a non-existent file. Context: #3449

Update to deduction of page titles

MkDocs 1.5 had a change in behavior in deducing the page titles from the first heading. Unfortunately this could cause unescaped HTML tags or entities to appear in edge cases.

Now tags are always fully sanitized from the title. Though it still remains the case that Page.title is expected to contain HTML entities and is passed directly to the themes.
