Release notes

Upgrading

To upgrade Material to the latest version, use pip:

pip install --upgrade mkdocs-material

To inspect the currently installed version, use the following command:

pip show mkdocs-material

Material 3.x to 4.x

• Material for MkDocs 4.x finally fixes incorrect layout on Chinese systems. The fix includes a mandatory change of the base font-size from 10px to 20px which means all rem values needed to be updated. Within the theme, px to rem calculation is now encapsulated in a new function called px2rem which is part of the SASS code base.

• If you use Material with custom CSS that is based on rem values, note that those values must now be divided by 2. Now, 1.0rem doesn't map to 10px, but 20px. To learn more about the problem and implications, please refer to the issue in which the problem was discovered and fixed.

Material 2.x to 3.x

• Material for MkDocs 3.x requires MkDocs 1.0 because the way paths are resolved internally changed significantly. Furthermore, pages was renamed to nav, so remember to adjust your mkdocs.yml file.

• All extended templates should continue to work but in order to make them future-proof the url filter should be introduced on all paths. Please see the official release notes for further guidance.

Material 1.x to 2.x

• Material for MkDocs 2.x requires MkDocs 0.17.1, as this version introduced changes to the way themes can define options. The following variables inside your project's mkdocs.yml need to be renamed:

  • extra.feature becomes theme.feature
  • extra.palette becomes theme.palette
  • extra.font becomes theme.font
  • extra.logo becomes theme.logo

• Favicon support has been dropped by MkDocs, it must now be defined in theme.favicon (previously site_favicon).

• Localization is now separated into theme language and search language. While there can only be a single language on theme-level, the search supports multiple languages which can be separated by commas. See the getting started guide for more guidance.

• The search tokenizer can now be set through extra.search.tokenizer.
