Note for users of Sphinx<4

If you cannot use a more recent Sphinx release, you should at least ensure you are using the most recent release for your major version. Currently, these are Sphinx 1.8.6 and 2.4.5. Older releases may install unsupported versions of several dependencies, including Jinja2 and docutils.

Known issues

In some cases, jQuery is not loaded with Sphinx 6 on Read the Docs. Workaround: You need to add sphinx_rtd_theme to extensions in your conf.py. See readthedocs.org issue #9654 for updates.

1.1.1

Fixes

Fix wrapping bug on cross references (#1368)

1.1.0

Dependency Changes

Many documentation projects depend on sphinx-rtd-theme without specifying a version of the theme (unpinned) while also depending on unpinned versions of Sphinx. The latest version of sphinx-rtd-theme ideally always supports the latest version of Sphinx, but this is now guaranteed.

This release adds upper bounds to direct dependencies Sphinx and docutils which will safeguard from mixing with possibly incompatible future versions of Sphinx & docutils.

Sphinx versions supported: 1.6 to 5.2.x
Sphinx<6 (#1332)
docutils<0.18 (unchanged, but will be bumped in an upcoming release)

Jinja2 context variable sphinx_version_info is now (major, minor, -1), the patch component is always -1. Reason: It’s complicated. (#1345)
