 ## Image handling improvements
 
 - **Major improvement**: Images no longer cause layout shift by default, even when width and height attributes aren't specified—automatic sizing prevents content jumping during page loads
 - All static files in your repository (PDF, TXT, XML, etc.) are now automatically uploaded and served when you deploy, providing complete asset coverage
 
 ## Web editor and deployment enhancements
 
 - Fixed branch creation workflow in web editor to correctly navigate to and stay on newly created branches
 - Enhanced merge conflict dialog with proper escape functionality, no more page reloads required to dismiss conflicts
 - Optimized update workflow performance by cache-invalidating only changed pages during partial updates, reducing deployment times
 
 ## Authentication and navigation improvements
 
 - New support for authentication on custom subdirectories, if you serve docs at `https://yourdomain.com/docs`, authentication now works seamlessly

 ## Performance and build optimizations
 
 - MDX transpilation now happens at deployment time instead of on every page load in uncached NextJS serverless environments, improving time to first byte for uncached pages.
 - Content-based hashing prevents re-transpilation when MDX hasn't changed, reducing update workflow times by ~50% for customers with large page counts (deployments over 5 minutes should be roughly halved)
 - Preview deployment viewing in the dashboard is now faster with added database indexes and query parallelization in our backend
 - Reduced page size by eliminating duplicate `navigation` data in each page's `rsc` payload—performance gains most noticeable with high page counts or complex navigation structures
 - More aggressive prefetching enables instant page loads more frequently
 
 ## API playground and OpenAPI enhancements
 
 - OpenAPI to MCP conversion moved to backend, enabling hosted MCP servers to contain tools (expect clearer documentation and config options soon)
 - Added Ruby support to API playground
 - We added a feature such that you can now [specify API pages using just your docs.json](/api-playground/openapi-setup#auto-populate-api-pages) without creating any new mdx files.
 - Support for [`webhook` pages](/api-playground/openapi-setup#webhooks) in docs navigation from OpenAPI specs
 - Optimized AI model context by removing anchor link specifications from markdown links when navigating to Anthropic, OpenAI, or other providers
 
@@ -161,18 +187,18 @@
 - File creation/renaming now saves changes when clicking away instead of requiring Enter key press
 - Fixed branch navigation where changing URL to specific branch would redirect to last active branch instead of intended destination
 - Properly URL encode branch titles containing `/` to prevent navigation breakage
 - Fixed `Ctrl+K` link shortcut in monorepo dashboard Editor that was prepending docs repo path and creating broken links
 
 ## Analytics and LLM integrations
 
 - Custom `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` support—add to docs repo root to serve at `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt` endpoints for LLM customization
 - Added [Hightouch analytics integration](/integrations/analytics/hightouch#hightouch)
 - Enhanced context menu analytics tracking (dashboard viewing coming soon)
 - Added e2e tests for `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` to ensure correct serving
 
 ## Component and styling enhancements
 
 - Support for custom classnames in `h{1-4}` tags for applying custom heading styles
 - Fixed `h{1-4}` tags rendering as `Heading` components with chips in custom page mode
 - Added CSS selectors to [breadcrumbs](/navigation#breadcrumbs) for custom CSS targeting
 - Fixed stretched open-graph images by analyzing dimensions to maintain proportions at 56px height

   - Group-level public access: make entire page groups public via `docs.json` so you don’t need `public: true` on each page ([learn more](https://mintlify.com/docs/authentication-personalization/authentication-setup#group-level))
   - Support [`logoutURL` in OAuth configuration](https://mintlify.com/docs/authentication-personalization/authentication-setup#implementation-3) to delete upstream cookies and complete sign-out
   - On OAuth errors, users are redirected to your specified `logoutURL` to restart the auth flow
   - Fixed a flash of a 500 error during OAuth/JWT flows before the callback
   - Auto-strip `https://` from URLs in OAuth/JWT auth configuration to prevent misconfiguration
 
   ## API playground enhancements
 
   - New [Search API endpoint](https://mintlify.com/docs/api-reference/assistant/search) so you can build agents and MCP servers on top of your docs
   - `openapi` and `asyncapi` files are now served at their specified paths (for example, `https://mydocsurl.extension/{openapi-or-file-name}.json`)
   - You can now use the [`x-mint` field in your openapi files](https://mintlify.com/docs/api-playground/openapi-setup#x-mint-extension) to override generated fields, customize preface content, or change endpoint URLs in code samples
   - [`x-mcp` is now `x-mint.mcp`](https://mintlify.com/docs/api-playground/openapi-setup#mcp) in OpenAPI configurations to control which routes are exposed as MCP tools
 
   ## Assistant updates
 
   - Fixed an issue where the action menu (containing options like copy and thumbs up) for older messages disappeared when new ones streamed in
   - Fixed accessibility of nested `/mcp/...` pages after the [hosted MCP servers release](https://mintlify.com/docs/ai/model-context-protocol#accessing-your-mcp-server) from last week
 
   ## Performance and reliability
 
   - All image and video assets present in your docs repo are now served at the appropriate path on your domain. For example, if you have `/assets/marketing/my-logo.png` in your repo, it will be available at `https://mydocsurl.extension/assets/marketing/my-logo.png`.
   - Email field on login for the Mintlify dashboard now autofocuses so you can start typing immediately _(quality of life improvement)_
   - Both custom domains and subdomains in Redis for a performance improvement on navigation load times (~50ms latency reduction)
   - Added retry logic for PDF exports to improve reliability
   - Fixed cookie consent popup reappearing after acceptance or dismissal—first selection is now respected
   - Fixed copying a page to clipboard on Safari by specifying a MIME `type` in `navigator.write`
 
   ## Technical improvements
 
   - CLI bugfixes for windows and pnpm, plus CI tests to prevent regressions
   - Improved error logging output—a quality of life upgrade for our engineering team when debugging
   - Minor fixes to the broken-link CI action when `contentDirectory` files are missing
   - Fixed a regression caused by the auth-protected preview fixes from last week where the active tab was not being set correctly in the navigation UI
   - Fixed theme light background color not being applied to active tab icons
   - Fixed an issue where changing the auth type in the dashboard would update and then flip back to the previously saved type—now the new selection persists after saving
   - Internal DX improvements for enterprise customers with custom UI libraries—it's now easier for us to include your components and accommodate requests on shorter timelines
