htmx 1.9.6 Release

I'm happy to announce the 1.9.6 release of htmx.

New Features

• IE support has been restored (thank you @telroshan!)
• Introduced the hx-disabled-elt attribute to allow specifying elements to disable during a request
• You can now explicitly decide to ignore title tags found in new content via the ignoreTitle option in hx-swap and the htmx.config.ignoreTitle configuration variable.
• hx-swap modifiers may be used without explicitly specifying the swap mechanism
• Arrays are now supported in the client-side-templates extension
• XSLT support in the client-side-templates extension

Improvements & Bug fixes

• Support preventDefault() in extension event handling
• Allow the HX-Refresh header to apply even after an HX-Redirect has occurred
• the formaction and formmethod attributes on buttons are now properly respected
• hx-on can now handle events with dots in their name
• htmx.ajax() now always returns a Promise
• Handle leading style tag parsing more effectively
• Many smaller fixes

Thank you to everyone who contributed, and enjoy!
