+## htmx 1.8.0 Release
+
+I'm happy to announce the [1.8.0 release](https://unpkg.com/browse/htmx.org@1.8.0/) of htmx.
+
+**NOTE:** This was a big release with some changes to very touchy code that is hard to test (e.g. history support) so
+please test thoroughly and let us know if there are any issues.
+
+### New Features
+
+* The [`hx-replace-url`](https://htmx.org/attributes/hx-replace-url) attribute was introduced, allowing you to replace
+ the current URL in history (to complement `hx-push-url`)
+* `m` is now a valid timing modifier (e.g. `hx-trigger="every 2m"`)
+* `next` and `previous` are now valid extended query selector modifiers, e.g. `hx-target="next div"` will target the
+ next div from the current element
+* The `HX-Location` response header now implements client-side redirects entirely within htmx
+* The `HX-Reswap` response header allows you to change the swap behavior of htmx
+* The new [`hx-select-oob`](/attributes/hx-select-oob) attribute selects one or more elements from a server response to swap in via an out of band swap
+* The new [`hx-replace-url`](/attributes/hx-replace-url) attribute can be used to replace the current URL in the location
+ bar (very similar to `hx-push-url` but no new history entry is created). The corresponding `HX-Replace-Url` response header can be used as well.
+
+### Improvements & Bug fixes
+
+* Boosted forms now will automatically push URLs into history as with links. The [response URL](https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_xmlhttprequest_responseurl)
+ detection API support is good enough that we feel comfortable making this the default now.
+ * If you do not want this behavior you can add `hx-push-url='false'` to your boosted forms
+* If htmx is included in a page more than once, we do not process elements multiple times
+* When localStorage is not available we do not attempt to save history in it
+* `hx-boost` will boost anchor tags with a `_self` target
+* The `load` event now properly supports event filters
+* The websocket extension has had many improvements: (A huge thank you to Denis Palashevskii, our newest committer on the project!)
+ * Implement proper `hx-trigger` support
+ * Expose trigger handling API to extensions
+ * Implement safe message sending with sending queue
+ * Fix `ws-send` attributes connecting in new elements
+ * Fix OOB swapping of multiple elements in response
+* htmx now properly handles anchors in both boosted links, as well as in `hx-get`, etc. attributes
+* Many, many documentation updates (thank you to all the contributors!)
+
+Enjoy!
