htmx 1.6.1 Release

I'm happy to announce the 1.6.1 release of htmx.

New Features

• A new HX-Retarget header allows you to change the default target of returned content
• The htmx:beforeSwap event now includes another configurable property: detail.isError which can be used to indicate if a given response should be treated as an error or not
• The htmx:afterRequest event has two new detail properties: success and failed, allowing you to write trigger filters in htmx or hyperscript:

    on htmx:afterRequest[failed]
      set #myCheckbox's checked to true
  

Improvements & Bug fixes

• Fixed the from: option in hx-trigger to support closest <CSS selector> and find <CSS selector> forms
• Don't boost anchor tags with an explicit target set
• Don't cancel all events on boosted elements, only the events that naturally trigger them (click for anchors, submit for forms)
• Persist revealed state in the DOM so that on history navigation, revealed elements are not re-requested
• Process all hx-ext attributes, even if no other htmx attribute is on the element
• Snapshot the current URL on load so that history support works properly after a page refresh occurs
• Many, many documentation updates (thank you to all the contributors!)

Enjoy!
