+mkdocs-material-9.6.10 (2025-03-30)
+
+  This version is a pure refactoring release, and does not contain new features
+  or bug fixes. It strives to improve the compatibility of our templates with
+  alternative Jinja-like template engines that we're currently exploring,
+  including minijinja.
+
+  Additionally, it replaces several instances of Python function invocations
+  with idiomatic use of template filters. All instances where variables have
+  been mutated inside templates have been replaced. Most changes have been made
+  in partials, and only a few in blocks, and all of them are fully backward
+  compatible, so no changes to overrides are necessary.
+
+  Note that this release does not replace the Jinja template engine with
+  minijinja. However, our templates are now 99% compatible with minijinja,
+  which means we can explore alternative Jinja-compatible implementations.
+  Additionally, immutability and removal of almost all Python function
+  invocations means much more idiomatic templating.
