0.19.0 - 2022-05-28
We decided to deprecate a few things to pave the way towards a more stable code base, bringing us closer to a v1.
- Selection and rendering options are now combined into a single
options
key. Using the old keys will emit a deprecation warning. - The
BaseCollector
andBaseRenderer
classes are deprecated in favor ofBaseHandler
, which merges their functionality. Using the old classes will emit a deprecation warning.
New versions of the Python handler and the legacy Python handler
were also released in coordination with mkdocstrings 0.19.
See their respective changelogs:
python,
python-legacy.
Most notably, the Python handler gained the members
and filters
options
that prevented many users to switch to it.
mkdocstrings stopped depending directly on the legacy Python handler. It means you now have to explicitely depend on it, directly or through the extra provided by mkdocstrings, if you want to continue using it.
- Stop depending directly on mkdocstrings-python-legacy (9055d58 by Timothée Mazzucotelli). Issue #376
- Pass config file path to handlers (cccebc4 by Timothée Mazzucotelli). Issue #311, PR #425
- Support options / deprecated options mix-up (7c71f26 by Timothée Mazzucotelli).
- Deprecate watch feature in favor of MkDocs' built-in one (c20022e by Timothée Mazzucotelli).
- Log relative template paths if possible, instead of absolute (91f5f83 by Timothée Mazzucotelli).
- Deprecate
selection
andrendering
YAML keys (3335310 by Timothée Mazzucotelli). PR #420 - Deprecate
BaseCollector
andBaseRenderer
(eb822cb by Timothée Mazzucotelli). PR #413
0.18.1 - 2022-03-01
- Don't preemptively register identifiers as anchors (c7ac043 by Timothée Mazzucotelli).
0.18.0 - 2022-02-06
- Python 3.6 support is dropped.
- We provide a new, experimental Python handler based on Griffe.
This new handler brings automatic cross-references for every annotation in your code,
including references to third-party libraries' APIs if they provide objects inventories
and you explicitely load them in
mkdocs.yml
. See migration notes in the documentation. - The "legacy" Python handler now lives in its own repository at https://github.com/mkdocstrings/python-legacy.

0.15.0 - 2021-02-28
The following items are possible breaking changes:
- Cross-linking to arbitrary headings now requires to opt-in to the autorefs plugin, which is installed as a dependency of mkdocstrings. See Cross-references to any Markdown heading.
- mkdocstrings now respects your configured code highlighting method,
so if you are using the CodeHilite extension, the
.highlight
CSS class in the rendered HTML will become.codehilite
. So make sure to adapt your extra CSS accordingly. Or just switch to using pymdownx.highlight, it's better supported by mkdocstrings anyway. See Syntax highlighting. - Most of the CSS rules that mkdocstrings used to recommend for manual addition, now become mandatory (auto-injected into the site). This shouldn't break any of your styles, but you are welcome to remove the now-redundant lines that you had copied into
extra_css
, similarly to this diff.

- Fix cross-references when deploying to GitHub pages (36f804b).
0.9.0 - 2020-03-21
This version is a big refactor. We will just list the new features without pointing to particular commits. The documentation rendering looks slightly different, and should be better than before. No identified breaking changes for end-users.
- Language agnostic: we moved the code responsible for loading Python documentation into a new project,
pytkdocs
, and implemented a "handlers" logic, effectively allowing to support any given language. Waiting for your handlers contributions 😉! - Multiple themes support: handlers can offer templates for multiple
mkdocs
themes. - Better cross-references: cross-references now not only work between documented objects (between all languages, given the objects' identifiers are unique), but also for every heading of your Markdown pages.
- Configuration options: the rendering of Python documentation can now be configured, (globally and locally thanks to the handlers system), check the docs! Also see the recommended CSS.
- Proper logging messages:
mkdocstrings
now logs debug, warning and error messages, useful when troubleshooting.
- Various fixes and better error handling.
0.8.0 - 2020-03-04
- Be compatible with Mkdocs >= 1.1 (5a974a4). This is a breaking change as we're not compatible with versions of Mkdocs below 1.1 anymore. If you cannot upgrade Mkdocs to 1.1, pin mkdocstrings' version to 0.7.2.
