Orbeon Forms 4.0 M17

Today we released Orbeon Forms 4.0 M17 (Milestone 17). Like 4.0 M16 and the previous milestones this is not a final release.

Due to the Thanksgiving break, M17 is a rather small update, but it happens to contain two important new bits:

• a new landing page for the Form Runner and Orbeon Forms  examples (#165)
• a new "wizard" mode which allows showing forms one section at a time

In addition, the following issues were addressed:

• Form Builder
• No default button set in some dialogs (#571)
• Form Runner
• fr:alert-dialog with static label crashes (#607)
• fr:error-summary: improved recalculate and use xxforms-visited/unvisited (ab3ff7f890)
• XForms engine
• xxforms:value() function (1021d5eade)
• New `focusable` mode for XBL components (#526)
• TinyMCE with required content doesn't reliably show error (#301)
• Change of visited state requires refresh (84a13e93c8)
• New xxforms-visited/unvisited events (f6c02b4377)
• Add deferred flag to xf:recalculate action (3339a5c2c2)

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