Many of you have been waiting for this one: Zensical 0.0.64 ships a drop-in replacement for the Material for MkDocs blog plugin – enjoy!

On November 5, we'll ship Zensical 0.1.0, move Studio out of beta, and open Spark Community to individuals. Zensical remains free and Open Source, forever.
Here's what changes – and what stays the same:
zensical.org/upcoming-change…
Zensical 0.0.61 adds anchor redirects, so incoming links and bookmarks keep working when headings change or content moves.
Zensical Studio now suggests redirects for renamed headings and keeps mappings up-to-date for you.
Enjoy your weekend!
github.com/zensical/zensical…
Project configuration is source code, too.
Zensical Studio now completes and validates mkdocs.yml and zensical.toml, shows previews for navigation items, and keeps paths synchronized when pages move.

Zensical 0.0.58 is out – our largest compatibility and workflow update yet + 6 MkDocs plugin replacements:

Peak memory use is cut by 30–40%, with the biggest gains on larger projects.
github.com/zensical/zensical…
New Zensical release tomorrow 🚀 We've been quietly making it faster and leaner – peak memory down by 40% depending on project size.
More details in a few hours.
Zensical Studio now treats your nav configuration as part of the documentation workspace.
Complete pages as you type, catch invalid entries immediately, and keep navigation paths correct when files move.
Works with Zensical and MkDocs projects.

Zensical Studio's new Connections view helps you explore the current documentation's relations:
🔗 Incoming and outgoing links
🖼️ Images and other assets used by a page
💣 Invalid links and unresolved references

Connections also follows reusable content.
See which snippets and fragments a page includes, where that content is used elsewhere, and the exact inclusion site behind every relationship.
When you open Zensical Studio this morning, you’ll find that broken links now show hover previews and have a new "repair" code action.
The video shows:
→ Preview repair candidates
→ Repair 1 broken link
→ Repair 60 broken links at once
