🥳 New Kitten¹ Release
Fixes:
• The `kitten.html` shorthands for plain HTMX client-side event handling of a Kitten Page’s default WebSocket lifecycle (`on:connecting`, `on:connect`, and `on:disconnect`) were generating faulty HTMX code (the Alpine.js versions, `@on:connecting`, `@on:connect`, and `@on:disconnect`, were fine).

🥳 JavaScript Database (JSDB)¹ version 7.0.0 released
- *Breaking change* JSTable.PERSIST event now uses a parameter object with properties for `type`, `keypath`, `value`, `change`, and `table`. This should make listening for events on your databases much nicer to author. e.g., a snippet from Catalyst² I’m working on:
