hey folks, i'm the creator of htmx this isn't much of a feature upgrade, but we took the opportunity to clean up a few things and drop IE support, which will help us slim down the library over time hopefully it's an easy upgrade for most htmx users, upgrade guide is here: https://htmx.org/migration-guide-htmx-1/ happy to answer any questions

Are there any efforts to push functionality like this into the HTML standard? It would be nice if htmx eventually became unnecessary as browsers implemented it, and the work you're doing with proving it out in the wild seems like a crucial part of that.

yes, there are, alex petros, an htmx maintainer, gave a talk at Big Sky Dev Con on the shortest path to htmx-like functionality in HTML here:

we are talking w/the chrome developers about these ideas, i'm cautiously optimistic

As someone that has long since soured on frontend things despite having tried everything from the start - mootools, jQuery, backbone.js, SproutCore, Ember, React, Vue, etc.

I genuinely think htmx is the only one I have liked even after I built something substantial in it.

To me that is big, to be able to walk away from a significant amount of time with something and say "yeah! I want to use that again!" instead of some variant of "it's the least bad option" is both rare and cherished so thanks for all the hard work.

No question but I wanted to say, I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out which js framework was less of an overkill, and finding htmx was pure joy

:) that's great to hear, i hope you find it useful

:) glad to hear it, definitely appeals to some people (and disgusts some other people!)

HTMX is like a glimpse into the road not taken, where HTML is the main language of the web instead of JS. Sometimes the grass really is greener on the other side, and I hope as an industry we make the switch.

I thought the 2.0.0 release was a bit of a joke from the BigSkyDev conference, as he was doing stuff like this:

There's even some sweet ascii art on the disk: https://twitter.com/jcs224/status/1799586838161621339

Great to see the continued love of this framework. (don't throw anything at me)

Does this release have head-support built in or still requires an extension? I thought 2.0 was going to release with head support...

Thanks for all your hard work; htmx is a breath of fresh air and an escape from the morass of needless complexity.

My only question: how can I get a set of those sweet sweet floppy disks?
