Releases

Version 4.4.0

LiberaForms speaks Ukrainian!

Now available in English, Spanish, Basque, Catalan, French, Galician, German, Russian, Tamil, and Ukrainian.

Thank you to all the translators, and to @Maksim2005UKR for making this release possible!

Enjoy!

Version 4.3.1

With v4.3.0 we fixed a bug that prevented conditional fields from loading correctly when anonymous answer edition was enabled.

But we were careless and introduced another bug that caused conditioned field to be shown when indeed that should not have been.

Let's hope we've got it right this time!

Version 4.3.0

This release introduces a new Moderator role.

This won't mean much to people running an installation just for themselves but as the number of users grow, Moderators play an important part in maintaining a sane site.

The four available roles are:

  • Guest: These users can't create forms but can be invited to participate
  • Editor: Creates forms, uploads media, creates Privacy statements, etc
  • Moderator: Manages Forms and Users on the installation
  • Admin: Manages the site's configuration

Also included are the usual bug fixes and css tweaks.

Thank you NLnet for your oversight. ♥

Enjoy!

Version 4.2.0

For all you people who have been using LiberaForms over the last few years, no, you're not dreaming!

Conditional form fields have been a requested feature since forever, and today it is here. Yippie!

We had turned a blind eye to this feature for so long because 1) We'd always thought of LiberaForms as just a simple online form software and, most importantly 2) It was not clear to us how to integrate conditional fields into the third party formbuilder.

But recently we had an idea. Instead of hacking the formbuilder, we could wrap the rendered form with custom code. This also meant we could craft our own configuration UI.

Hope you like it!

Version 4.1.2

Really happy to release this version that is an important part of making LiberaForms a scalable software.

In the beginning our database(s) were tiny, just a handful of users and forms. When an Admin was reading User or Form data, we would package everything on the server and send the whole lot down to the frontend that is built to display, order, and search data items. It worked fine.

But, as our SASS installations started to hold more data, it became obvious that we needed to change things. When we hit 1000+ forms it simply took too long (eight+ seconds) to markup 1000 items and send them to the client. And why send all that data anyway?

Server side pagination to the rescue!

Version 4.1.1

LiberaForms uses markdown to write HTML. We've been using the EasyMDE editor for years now so this release includes some long overdue love and attention.

Highlighted changes:

  • Improves custom markdown editor code, UI, and usability
  • Data-display correctly renders timezone adjusted dates
  • Formbuilder's delete cloned field button now actually deletes the field
  • Includes updated Spanish, French, and Galician L10n. Thank you to you all ♥

Other changes are minor code and CSS tweaks.

Enjoy!

Version 4.1.0

Linking to PDFs hosted on some proprietary cloud server hurts, especially when you've made the effort to use Free form software.

Suffer no longer! This release comes with an option to upload PDFs to the media library, and makes it easy to link to them from the markdown editor.

Also includes a new form option that makes a best-effort to stop a form from being answered twice on the same browser.

Thank you @wander, @AimeeMaroux, and @neil. ♥

Enjoy!

Version 4.0.1

This release contains a number of security and bug fixes. Users of all versions are encouraged to upgrade.

Special thanks to @wander for your analysis, proposals, and candor. ♥

Also includes some minor UI tweaks.

Enjoy!

Oh, and Long text form fields now automagically grow longer when viewed on cellphones.

Version 4.0.0

After some pondering, procrastinating, planning, and development, LiberaForms now comes with End-to-end encryption built in. Yeah!

This means that form answers are only known by the participating parties. No leaks!

Everything E2EE happens on the client and to achieve that LiberaForms imports OpenPGP.js, a library that fits our needs very well indeed.

As expected, private keys never leave the client and users must take responsibility for the safe keeping their key.

Because the server cannot read a form's encrypted answers, some form features are disabled, like sending confirmation via emails. But a part from that, E2EE integration is seamless. :)

Encryption is enabled on a form to form basis. SysAdmins set the E2EE_MODE to make E2EE either optional, required, or disabled.

Enjoy!

Version 3.7.1

Just a quick release before we launch v4.

This release comes with two notable bug fixes:

  • Form edition Cancel button now actually cancels the edition correctly
  • CSV and JSON answer exports correctly handle fields with duplicate names
