MkDocs NG

mkdocs-ng v1.8.0 is out, the first feature release since the fork. Built-in themes no longer copy the entire highlight.js distribution, making clean builds ~14% faster with ~440 fewer files per site. Search finally finds programming keywords like while and if. The next release will bring incremental builds to mkdocs serve.

Since taking over mkdocs-ng maintenance, four versions have been released, over a dozen bugs fixed, and the mergedeep dependency removed. The upcoming v1.8.0 will be a feature release, planning to drop support for older Python versions, remove CDN dependencies from built-in themes, and provide a stable Python API.
