Orbeon Forms 4.0 M8

Today we released Orbeon Forms 4.0 M8 (Milestone 8). Like 4.0 M7 and the previous milestones this is not a final release.

We have addressed the following issues in this build:

• Form Runner
• Send email: support TLS and custom port (#395)
• New L&F: editor for title and description in Form Settings (#376)
• fr:number doesn't show nicely in review mode (#316)
• Silent fr:autocomplete JS error on Review page (#389)
• Silent fr:button JS error on Review page (#390)
• XForms inspector: navigating from FR review to edit page causes JS exception (#137)
• TinyMCE content doesn't show in PDF (#300)
• Modernize XBL of fr:dropdown-date/fr:fields-date/fr:autocomplete
• A few more small improvements to the phone number control (see our post on the main improvements)
• XForms engine
• Don't produce duplicate templates ids (#374)
• Other
• File serializer: support of oxf: and file: URLs
• File processor: move operation, support both filesystem paths and oxf: and file: URLs for move and delete

There are a bunch of changes we are working on a separate branch, related to the improved look and feel. This is taking a while because we are also using the opportunity to improve how Form Builder handles editing controls, grids and sections attributes.

More information is available in the in-progress release notes for 4.0.
