v2.0.0

New features

• Add support for applying arbitrary properties to documentation versions
• Add support for hiding specific versions from the selector when using the default themes
• Deploy aliases using symbolic links by default; this can be configured via --alias-type on the command line or alias_type in the mike MkDocs plugin
• Avoid creating empty commits by default; if you want empty commits, pass --allow-empty
• Look for both mkdocs.yml and mkdocs.yaml configuration files
• Support GIT_COMMITTER_(NAME|EMAIL|DATE) when generating commits
• Allow specifying alias_type, redirect_template, and deploy_prefix in the mike MkDocs plugin
• Add a --debug flag to help diagnose bugs with mike
• Port number is now optional for --dev-addr in mike serve, defaulting to 8000

Breaking changes

• --prefix is now --deploy-prefix
• --no-redirect is now --alias-type=copy
• --ignore is now --ignore-remote-status
• -f / --force is no longer supported on subcommands that can push (this option was too error-prone, and users who really need to force-push can use Git directly)
• --rebase is no longer supported (instead of using this, it's better to use Git to resolve any conflicts)

Bug fixes

• Aliases that are "similar" to preexisting versions (e.g. 1.0 and 1.0.0) can now be set properly
• Versions that don't start with a digit (or v and then a digit) are now treated separately from other versions: they're considered development versions, and thus newer than "ordinary" versions
• Fix retrieval of Git user name/email when using non-UTF8 encodings
• Fix version selector for mkdocs and readthedocs themes when use_directory_urls is false
• When redirecting to another page, include the ?query
• Ensure that aliases cannot be circularly defined
• Support file names with double-quotes or newlines
