The ``sphinx-better-subsection`` extension is installed and automatically set up to prefer explicit targets for a section heading over auto-generated targets (e.g. from the title) when producing HTML permalinks. This change is backwards compatible as both targets still work in both rST and HTML pages. An example can be seen below for the `previous release heading <v2023.1_>`__.

2023.1
=========================
Update the team member list in the footer to match nextstrain.org's new footer. (`37 <https://github.com/nextstrain/sphinx-theme/pull/37>`_)
Fix the footer formatting when sphinx-rtd-theme 1.2.0 (or newer) is used. (`36 <https://github.com/nextstrain/sphinx-theme/pull/36>`_)
Document in the README how to develop the theme locally. (`34 <https://github.com/nextstrain/sphinx-theme/pull/34>`_)
2022.9
=====================
Revert workaround for ``markdown`` and ``sphinx-markdown-tables`` from previous release. (`31 <https://github.com/nextstrain/sphinx-theme/pull/31>`_)
2022.8
=====================
A dependency on the Python distribution ``markdown <3.4.0`` was added to help resolve a compatibility issue with the ``sphinx-markdown-tables`` distribution, which we use in several of our projects. Hopefully upstream will fix the issue with a new release and then this dependency can be removed. (`29 <https://github.com/nextstrain/sphinx-theme/pull/29>`_)
2022.7
=====================
The top-of-sidebar block containing the logo, project name, version, and search box is now pinned to the top of the sidebar when it scrolls. This helps maintain the page's visual structure even if the sidebar navigation is long and requires scrolling.
2022.6
=====================
The scroll-into-view behaviour for the current page's entry in the navigation sidebar is now a bit less jumpy. Scrolling will be (mostly) avoided if the link is already in view, rather than always trying to scroll it to the top of the viewport. (`27 <https://github.com/nextstrain/sphinx-theme/pull/27>`_)
