+- update to 9.7.0:
+  **WARNING**
+  Material for MkDocs is now in maintenance mode
+  This is the last release of Material for MkDocs that will receive
+  new features. Going forward, the Material for MkDocs team focuses
+  on Zensical, a next-gen static site generator built from first
+  principles. We will provide critical bug fixes and security
+  updates for Material for MkDocs for 12 months at least.
+  Read the full announcement on our blog
+  https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/blog/2025/11/05/zensical/
+
+  This release includes all features that were previously exclusive
+  to the Insiders edition. These features are now freely available
+  to everyone.
+  Note on deprecated plugins: The projects and typeset plugins are
+  included in this release, but must be considered deprecated. Both
+  plugins proved unsustainable to maintain and represent
+  architectural dead ends. They are provided as-is without ongoing
+  support.
+
+  Changes:
+  * Added support for projects plugin (for compat, now deprecated)
+  * Added support for typeset plugin (for compat, now deprecated)
+  * Added support for pinned blog posts and author profiles
+  * Added support for customizing pagination for blog index pages
+  * Added support for customizing blog category sort order
+  * Added support for staying on page when switching languages
+  * Added support for disabling tags in table of contents
+  * Added support for nested tags and shadow tags
+  * Added support for footnote tooltips
+  * Added support for instant previews
+  * Added support for instant prefetching
+  * Added support for custom social card layouts
+  * Added support for custom social card background images
+  * Added support for selectable rangs in code blocks
+  * Added support for custom selectors for code annotations
+  * Added support for configurable log level in privacy plugin
+  * Added support for processing of external links in privacy
+    plugin
+  * Added support for automatic image optimization via optimize
+    plugin
+  * Added support for navigation paths (breadcrumbs)
+  * Fixed #8519: Vector accents do not render when using KaTeX
+
