 - Added `reactpy.reactjs.component_from_npm` to import ReactJS components from NPM.
 - Added `reactpy.h` as a shorthand alias for `reactpy.html`.
 - Added `reactpy.config.REACTPY_MAX_QUEUE_SIZE` to configure the maximum size of all ReactPy asyncio queues (e.g. receive buffer, send buffer, event buffer) before ReactPy begins waiting until a slot frees up. This can be used to constraint memory usage.
+- Events now support `debounce` and `throttle`, configurable per event via `event.debounce = <milliseconds>` and `EventHandler(fn, throttle=<milliseconds>)` respectively.
+    - `debounce` waits until activity stops, then fires once. Default is 200 ms on `input`/`select`/`textarea`, 0 ms elsewhere.
+    - `throttle` caps the rate how often an event is allowed to execute. No default; opt in per event.
