Michael #1: PEP 814 – Add frozendict built-in type

• by Victor Stinner & Donghee Na
• A new public immutable type frozendict is added to the builtins module.
• We expect frozendict to be safe by design, as it prevents any unintended modifications. This addition benefits not only CPython’s standard library, but also third-party maintainers who can take advantage of a reliable, immutable dictionary type.
• To add to existing frozen types in Python.

Brian #2: From Material for MkDocs to Zensical

• Suggested by John Hagen
• A lot of people, me included, use Material for MkDocs as our MkDocs theme for both personal and professional projects, and in-house docs.
• This plugin for MkDocs is now in maintenance mode
