htmx 1.6.0 Release

I'm happy to announce the 1.6.0 release of htmx.

New Features & Major Changes

• Completely reworked <script> tag support that now supports the <script src="...'/> form
• You can now use the value unset to clear a property that would normally be inherited (e.g. hx-confirm)
• The htmx-added class is added to new content before a swap and removed after the settle phase, which allows you more flexibility in writing CSS transitions for added content (rather than relying on the target, as with htmx-settling)
• The htmx:beforeSwap event has been updated to allow you to configure swapping behavior

Improvements & Bug fixes

• Improved <title> extraction support
• You can listen to events on the window object using the from: modifier in hx-trigger
• The root option of the intersect event was fixed
• Boosted forms respect the enctype declaration
• The HX-Boosted header will be sent on requests from boosted elements
• Promises are not returned from the main ajax function unless it is an api call (i.e. htmx.ajax)

Enjoy!
