# Changelog

Notable changes to the Syntext platform, CLI, and SDKs. Follow [@syntextdev](https://x.com/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/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](/platform/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](/components/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](/guides/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](/api-reference/analytics/content-health), [Annotation Coverage](/api-reference/analytics/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
