Gravity Forms v2.2 Released

By Carl Hancock Published March 28, 2017

Gravity Forms v2.2 is now available via automatic update and the downloads page.

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.

Gravity Forms v2.2 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 SpamAssassin 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.
• Updated the way the entry IP Addresses are collected. This may affect sites behind reverse proxies. Further details.
• Updated the file download process to clean the out buffer before delivering the file. This reduces the risk of potential conflicts with third-party code which can affect the delivery of the file.
• Fixed an issue when sending emails with special characters in the subject.
• Fixed fatal error when Logging Add-On is installed.
• Fixed confirmation, feed list and notification tables showing colons for hidden header columns in smaller viewports.
• Fixed issue with form title editor that allowed duplicate and blank titles to be entered.
• Fixed issue with the system report page that displayed an issue with the uploads folder on new installations.
• Fixed issue where From Name was getting truncated from 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 Add-On Framework Changelog

• 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…).
• Updated async feed processing to get entry and form at processing time.
• Fixed feed list not being organized by feed order.
• Fixed feed ordering interface not initializing properly.
• Fixed returned entry not being saved during async feed processing.
