The code overhaul begun with Visforms 6.1 has continued.
Furthermore, we were able to implement numerous new features for the Location and Upload field types, which had been on the wish list for a long time.
We use canary releases for Visforms updates.
This makes the latest version available to an increasingly large group of users in stages.
It is therefore quite possible that a current release is not yet available for your Joomla update manager.
However, all current updates are still available for download on our website.
This allows you to manually update to the latest version at any time, even if it is not officially your turn yet.

Today we released Visforms and Visforms Subscription 5.2.0. This version is now officially fully compatible with php 8.3.
We are pleased that we were once again able to implement numerous feature requests and improvements that were brought to our attention via the forum.
New features always mean extensive changes to the code. We test all changes very thoroughly. But despite everything, it's only us who are testing. That's why feature releases with many new features are always released as beta versions.
If you are interested in one or more of the new features and want to use this Visforms version, please test thoroughly before using it on a productive system!
We endeavor to correct any reported errors as quickly as possible.
