+## htmx 1.9.5 Release
+
+I'm happy to announce the [1.9.5 release](https://unpkg.com/browse/htmx.org@1.9.5/) of htmx.
+
+### New Features
+
+* You can disable the interpretation of script tags with the new `htmx.config.allowScriptTags` config variable
+* You can now disable htmx-based requests to non-origin hosts via the `htmx.config.selfRequestsOnly` config variable
+
+### Improvements & Bug fixes
+
+* The [Security](https://htmx.org/docs#security) section has been expanded to help developers better understand how to
+  properly secure their htmx-based applications.
+* Web sockets now properly pass the target id in the HEADERS struct
+* A very rare loading state bug was fixed (see https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/commit/93bd81b6d003bb7bc445f10192bdb8089fa3495d)
+* `hx-on` will not evaluate if `allowEval` is set to false
+
+Thank you to everyone who contributed, and enjoy!
