What MkDocs 2.0 means for your documentation projects


Three weeks ago, MkDocs 2.0 was announced — a ground-up rewrite of the documentation tool tens of thousands of projects rely on, introducing potentially significant breaking changes.

We've taken the time to thoroughly evaluate and test the pre-release version, and want to share what we know, what it might mean for your documentation projects, and where Zensical, our new static site generator that is compatible with MkDocs 1.x, fits into the picture.

Please note that MkDocs 2.0 is still in pre-release, and the information in this article is based on the current state of the project. We will keep it updated as we learn more.
