Release notes

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.

Hi @dependabot[bot]. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a aws member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
