Gravity Forms v2.2 Beta 1 is now available via the downloads page. It is not available via automatic update.

Version 2.2 is a feature release that includes a variety of enhancements and improvements. A complete rundown of the features, enhancements, and changes can be found below.

Now is the time for 3rd party developers and customers who have implemented customization that may be impacted by these changes to be testing and readying changes in preparation for the release of Gravity Forms v2.2 via automatic update.

Please note: this will not be a long beta cycle and v2.2 will be released publicly via automatic update before the end of March.

Gravity Forms v2.2 Beta 1 Changelog

• Added emoji support to entry values. This feature is only supported when the database supports the UTF-8 charset.
• Added System Report page to a new System Status area to make it quicker and easier for users to provide hosting environment information when providing support.
• Added logging functionality so that the Logging Add-On is no longer needed and it is being deprecated. Logging can now be enabled via the main Gravity Forms settings and then configured via the Logging settings menu once enabled.
• Added optimizations to email notifications to improve SpamAssasin scoring out of the box and make it less likely that email notifications will be flagged as spam.
• Added search functionality to Forms list page.
• Updated Form Editor so that fields are only deleted after the “Update” button is pressed and not when the delete icon is clicked in the field editor. When deleting a field you will delete the field as you normally would, but the change will not take effect and impact any entry data as a result of the field deletion until you click the “Update” button to save your changes.
• Updated feed list page for add-ons so that it is responsive.
• Fixed issue where From Name was getting truncated from email notifications.
• Fixed active state not being copied when duplicating a form.
• Fixed issue with generated form name when duplicating a previously duplicated form.

Gravity Forms v2.2 Beta 1 Add-On Framework Changelog

• Fixed default feed name generator attempting to use non-existent feed name.
• Added generic_map settings field for mapping custom/pre-defined keys to custom/pre-defined values.
• Added GFAddOn::minimum_requirements() method to define server environment required to initialize Add-On.
• Added support for asynchronous feed processing, defined by the GFFeedAddOn::_async_feed_processing property or by overriding the GFFeedAddOn::is_asynchronous() method.
• Added support for defining pre-requisites/minimum requirements for addons (i.e. whether cURL or OpenSSL is installed, minimum PHP version, minimum WordPress version, etc…).

Gravity Forms v2.2 Beta 1 Rest API v1 Changelog
