Documentation Release Notes & Platform Updates

This document tracks all official releases, version updates, and core architectural milestones for SmartGen Docs.

Version 1.1.0 (August 2026)

Version 1.1.0 represents a major milestone in SmartGen Docs engineering, introducing full support for seven distinct structural themes, a live client-side style switcher, automated sitemap and robots generation, and robust Playwright testing suites [1].

Key Enhancements

Multi-Theme Engine: Added production support for default, book, education, techblog, agency, medicine, and apiplay themes [2].
Live Styles Switcher: Implemented a floating, keyboard-accessible button allowing readers to switch between all seven theme variants on the fly while preserving their exact page location [3].
Automated Sitemap & Robots: The builder engine now automatically computes document modification times and generates valid sitemap.xml and robots.txt files directly into the build output [4].
Playwright Verification: Added tools/capture_screenshots.py for automated cross-browser visual regression testing and responsive layout verification [5].

Version 1.0.0 (July 2026)

The initial public release of SmartGen Docs established the Python-native, zero-dependency static documentation framework.
