MkDocs 2.0, a ground-up rewrite announced three weeks ago, introduces breaking changes including incompatibility with Material for MkDocs, removal of the plugin system, a rewritten theming system that limits advanced navigation features, a closed contribution model, and a shift from YAML to TOML configuration. The maintainers of Material for MkDocs present these findings and introduce Zensical, a new static site generator compatible with MkDocs 1.x, as an alternative.
