+Nothing in 1.6 requires a change to your markup. Two things can trip a build:
+
+- 69 Sass variables that were plain colors are `color-mix()` strings now, so they follow `--tblr-*` overrides in the browser. That's the `*-bg-subtle`, `*-text-emphasis` and `*-border-subtle` families, `$body-secondary-color`, `$input-focus-border-color` and a few navbar, dropdown and switch colors. Overriding them still works, but a Sass color function such as `darken()` or `rgba()` on their default value fails. Build from the base color instead: `shade-color(tint-color($primary, 80%), 5%)`.
+- The component port is compiled with strict TypeScript and every config is typed. A TypeScript project that passes a loosely typed options object to a component may get new type errors. Nothing changes at runtime.
+
+A few things are deprecated and keep working:
 
 - `.form-hint` is `.form-text` now, matching Bootstrap. The old class is an alias.
 - An empty `.legend` still renders as a dot, but `.legend-dot` is the class for it.

 The `.focus-ring` helper is fixed along the way. It now shows on `:focus-visible` instead of `:focus`, so a mouse click no longer draws it.
 
+## Stricter TypeScript types
+
+The Bootstrap component port is compiled with strict TypeScript, and every component's options are a typed `ComponentConfig` instead of a bag of `unknown`. The constructor takes `Partial<ComponentConfig>`, so you can still pass a subset of the options, and unknown keys are still accepted. What the compiler rejects now is a wrong value type:
+
+```ts
+import { Modal } from '@tabler/core';
+
+// 1.5: compiles. 1.6: `backdrop` is `boolean | 'static'`.
+new Modal(element, { backdrop: 'yes' });
+
+// 1.6
+new Modal(element, { backdrop: 'static' });
+```
+
+`Modal.Default` and `Modal.DefaultType` are typed the same way, and `getInstance()` returns `null` when there is no instance yet, so narrow it before calling a method:
+
+```ts
+Modal.getInstance(element)?.hide();
+```
+
+Nothing changes at runtime. JavaScript projects and projects that use the data attributes are not affected.

 - `tabler.js` no longer stops on page load when one element has an invalid `data-*` config. The error is logged and every other component is still created, so a workaround that initialized components by hand can go.
 - Drag styles for [Sortable](/ui/plugins/sortable): `.sortable-ghost`, `.sortable-chosen`, and `.sortable-drag` for lists that turn on `forceFallback`.
 - A billing page in the preview, with plan usage, payment method and invoices.
