</script>


โš ๏ธ NOTE: We are currently moving away from IE support to make the library more lightweight. If you don't care about IE but about size, you can already opt into 6.0.0-beta.1. Please make sure to pin the specific version since parts of the API might change slightly. You can always read about the changes in the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) file.
