Jul 1, 2025July 2025: Delivered a focused documentation improvement for htmx loading behavior, clarifying that htmx is designed to load synchronously and highlighting potential unreliability when loaded asynchronously. Added a new note to the quirks page to prevent misuses and set clear expectations of runtime behavior. This aligns docs with actual loading order and reduces the risk of non-functional behavior if DOM content loads first.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 highlights for bigskysoftware/htmx. Key features delivered include Essay discovery and display improvements, with the new /essays/all page and an RSS feed, along with a refactor of /essays to highlight the best essays to improve discoverability and content organization. Major fixes include Nested shadow DOM detection improvements in bodyContains, ensuring elements within nested shadow roots are correctly detected by comparing the element's composedRoot to the document. Added the htmx:trigger event for load-triggered elements, with tests to validate lifecycle behavior. UI consistency improvements address anchor color rendering by switching from --anchorColor to --textColor for h2 anchors against varied backgrounds.
