1.1.0

Release 1.1.0 – Changelog Summary

This release adds first-class support for disabled states and default values, improves search robustness, and greatly expands test coverage. Docs, examples, and build tooling were refreshed to make adoption seamless.

• New Disabled State Support
  Initialize a select as disabled (or mirror the native disabled attribute) and prevent interaction at the custom button level.
  Improves accessibility and avoids accidental changes in read-only contexts.

• Default Value on Init
  New defaultValue option (and data-default-value support) preselects an item during initialization, with sensible precedence.
  Reduces boilerplate and ensures the UI reflects intended defaults immediately.

• Safer Initialization & Template Handling
  Skips empty selects, rebuilds the internal template reliably, and guards event handlers when disabled.
  Increases stability across edge cases and dynamic DOM scenarios.

• Search Robustness & UX
  Live search normalizes whitespace, respects caseSensitive, and can keep the active item visible.
  Produces more intuitive filtering and cleaner lists for end users.

• Public API Enhancements
  Added enable()/disable() and refined value getter/setter to reset or select reliably.
  Makes programmatic control straightforward for app logic and tests.

• Examples & README Updates
  New examples for Disabled select and Default value; CDN snippets now reference @1.1.0.
  Shortens time-to-value with copy-pasteable demos.

• Expanded Jest Test Suite
  Comprehensive tests now cover init paths, options, live search, selection, API methods, and disabled/default flows.
  Boosts confidence and prevents regressions.

• Dev Container Modernization
  Dockerfile updated to PHP 8.3, adds Node 18 + Yarn for local builds.
  Smooths contributor setup and aligns with current tooling.

Compatibility: Backward compatible.
