5.8.2
(chore): Remove break from the supported changelog types so the automated release flow
cannot produce a major version bump. Major releases must now be made by editing
the relevant versions.yml directly so the breaking change is explicitly
acknowledged in review. Validation rejects type: break in unreleased/.
5.8.1
(fix): Add a valid-changelog-slug rule to fern check that errors when a changelog’s
effective URL slug is not one of the values served as an RSS/Atom/JSON feed by
the docs platform (changelog, changelogs, release-notes, releasenotes,
whats-new, whatsnew). Severity defaults to error and can be overridden
via check.rules.valid-changelog-slug in docs.yml.
5.8.0
(feat): Add support for a custom robots.txt file in docs.yml. Set agents.robots-txt to a relative
filepath and Fern will host the file at /robots.txt on your docs site, overriding the
auto-generated default.
(fix): Show a clear, actionable error when the Fern GitHub App is not installed on
the target repository instead of the generic “Failed to create job” message.
5.7.10
(fix): Fix the OpenAPI 3.1 -> IR converter to respect endpoint-level security: [] opt-outs when auth is configured in generators.yml. Previously, declaring an auth scheme at the workspace level would silently override every endpoint-level security field — including explicit empty-array opt-outs — so endpoints that intentionally opted out of auth (e.g. an OAuth token endpoint, or a public endpoint) ended up rendered in docs and SDKs as if they required the global auth scheme.
5.7.9
(fix): fern docs dev now fails with a clear error when no docs.yml is present, instead of exiting silently.
(fix): Fix section landing pages with skip-slug: true ignoring frontmatter slug declarations.
Sections now compute separate slugs for the overview page (honors frontmatter) and for
children (respects skip-slug), so both features work correctly together.
5.7.8
(fix): Fix fern logout showing a “localhost refused to connect” error page by
starting a local server to serve a branded confirmation page, matching the login flow.
Also update both login and logout confirmation pages with new branded designs.
