htmx 1.8.5 Release

I'm happy to announce the 1.8.5 release of htmx.

New Features

• Support a new optional cache-busting configuration option, getCacheBusterParam, to allow browsers to disambiguate between GET requests from htmx and from the raw browser
• Support new hx-history='false' attribute, to prevent sensitive data from being stored in the history cache. (Thank you @croxton!)
• Extensive new event-oriented features are available in the Web Socket extension (Thank you @Renerick!)

Improvements & Bug fixes

• A bug fix for when a form contains multiple empty input values with the same name (Thank you @bluekeyes!)
• A bug fix around inputs that throw exceptions when calling setSelectionRange() (Thank you @gone!)
• A bug fix to pass through the proper event for the htmx:configRequest event
• A bug fix/improvement for the preload extension
• Many other small bug and doc fixes

Thank you to everyone who contributed, and enjoy!
