v0.8.0

Release v0.8.0

Hi folks! This first minor release of 2024 has a short number of changes: a large improvement of build times for large sites, a new keyboard shortcut to focus the search bar, and sidebar navigation bugfixes for "pretty" URLs (with .html omitted) and the clickable area on Safari. This release has no explicit breaking changes and should be a straightforward upgrade for most (if not all) users.

Using Release v0.8.0

Users who have not pinned the theme version will be automatically upgraded to v0.8.0 the next time they build their site.

To use this release explicitly as a remote theme:

remote_theme: just-the-docs/just-the-docs@v0.8.0

To use this version explicitly as a gem-based theme, pin the version in your Gemfile and re-run bundle install or bundle update just-the-docs:

gem "just-the-docs", "0.8.0"

To use and pin a previous version of the theme, replace the 0.8.0 with the desired release tag.
