Changelog

Notable changes to the Syntext platform, CLI, and SDKs. Follow @syntextdev for release announcements.

July 2026

• stx build — self-hosted exports — build your docs on the Syntext backend and download the complete static site (pages, Markdown exports, and a static search index) for hosting on your own infrastructure — see stx build (CLI v0.6.0)
• Doc Site Features guide — the built-in reader features (page feedback, prev/next navigation, Copy page / Open in ChatGPT / Open in Claude, llms.txt, the /ask page) are now documented in one place — see Doc Site Features
• Design polish — pill-style tab bars matching code block headers, rounded sidebar highlights, outline-only expandables, and fully rounded API endpoint bars
• Rich footer — add grouped link columns, your logo, and social icons to every doc site page via footer.columns in syntext.json — see Footer
• Full-bleed footer — the footer now spans the entire viewport width as a distinct band on both guide and API reference pages, instead of being confined to the content column
• Slimmer scrollbars — page and sidebar scrollbars on doc sites are now consistently slim across Chromium, Safari, and Firefox
• Config changes trigger rebuilds — edits to syntext.json alone (e.g. footer or theme changes) now correctly invalidate the build cache; previously a deploy with unchanged content could skip config-only updates

June 2026

• Hosted MCP connector — connect Claude, Cursor, or VS Code to your docs with a single URL (https://api.syntext.dev/mcp), OAuth sign-in, no API keys — see MCP Integration
• Assistant panel redesign — cleaner chat interface with live thinking states while the assistant searches, one-click conversation clearing, and an AI disclaimer
• Doc site polish — pinned header and navigation while scrolling, redesigned code block headers with language chips, and refreshed API endpoint bars
• Content health & annotation coverage APIs — aggregate documentation health and @stx coverage are now queryable: Content Health, Annotation Coverage
• Dashboard error surfacing — collaboration, analytics, and editor views now surface partial failures explicitly instead of failing silently
• Live build logs — build detail pages stream logs in real time

May 2026

• GitHub App — connect repos without per-repo webhook setup; PR preview builds work out of the box
• Approval gates — require sign-off on path patterns before publishing
• Scheduled publishing — stage content now, go live later

April 2026

• AI documentation gaps — unanswered assistant questions are ranked and reported in analytics
• Style linter with auto-fix — custom terminology and tone rules, enforced in the editor and via API
• Glossary — hover definitions on doc sites + linter-enforced term consistency

Earlier

• Annotation system — two-tier parsing (zero-config doc comments + @stx directives) across TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, PHP, and C#
• Drift detection — stx check fails CI when code signatures diverge from docs
• Audience gating, custom domains, OpenAPI import with try-it playground, embeddable AI widget, MCP server for AI IDEs
