Gravity Forms v1.6 Release Candidate 5 is now available. We were not planning on any more public development releases prior to the public release, however we decided to introduce changes to enhance both VaultPress and WordPress 3.3 compatibility and decided it was prudent to go ahead and make it available prior to the final release.

We have tentatively scheduled next week for the Gravity Forms v1.6 public release via automatic update.

Thank you to the users who have contributed bug reports, we look forward to continue receiving feedback from users who are participating in the testing.

Please provide beta feedback and bug reports on the Support Forum and make it clear you are referring to the 1.6 Release Candidate 5 release when doing so. Thanks!
