v0.5.0

This release is focused on giving you more control over the request and rendering lifecycle of Alpine AJAX. To that end we've introduced a few new attributes and events. We've also revamped focus management to make it easier to control keyboard focus as content on the page changes. Lastly, we've made Alpine AJAX 30% smaller by decoupling our DOM morphing logic into a separate, optional, plugin.

Breaking Changes

1. x-focus removed in favor of x-autofocus

In most situations you can remove x-focus and add x-autofocus to the element what was being targeted by x-focus. In more complex situations you can listen for the new ajax:merged event and do whatever you want with focus in the event handler.

2. Decoupled Morph into a separate plugin

If your project is using x-merge="morph" install the Alpine Morph Plugin and you're good to go. Using the "morph" strategy without first installing the plugin will now throw an exception and prompt you to install the plugin. Our documentation examples have been updated to include install instructions when the Morph Plugin is required.
