Static Checkbox, Radio and Dropdown selection control options can be typed into the Options property in the form/flow designers.

A new version (v2.5.3) of the Database Connector is no longer included in the v7.3 frevvo tomcat bundle. It is available in a separate download. You can download it here.  The database.war does not extract after startup. You will not see a database subfolder in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps directory if you are using the tomcat bundle as in previous releases.

The Database Connector v2.5.3 requires v7.3.2 . The v2.5.3+ database connector datasources are now defined in the new <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\frevvo-config.properties files. The v2.4.* database connector datasources were defined directly in configuration.xml. This upgrade requires you to move your datasource configuration out of configuration.xml and into a configuration properties file.

The Database, Google and SharePoint connectors now generate their own logs in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\logs directory in the tomcat bundle. The Standalone version of the Database Connector creates the logs C:<dbconnector-home><dbhome>\\Dbconnectordatabaseconnector-2.5.3-SNAPSHOT\logs\logs. The log files are named  <connector name>.YYYY-MM-DDDD. Generating separate logfiles make it much easier to search for errors when troubleshooting connector issues.

Tomcat 8.5 doesn't allow curly braces in URLs since they are not valid URL chars and deemed a security vulnerability. currently supports parenthesis as well as curly braces. However, if you are embedding forms, flows or the Task List in your website, change the markup to use parenthesis (). Support for curly braces {} will be dropped in a future release.

...

Embed code for forms/flows now contains container=false by default. This change should not affect existing embedded forms which have container parameter set to true. If you need the container value to be set to "true", change this setting manually for  newly embedded forms/flows going forward.

Tips for Embedded Forms/Flows viewed on Mobile Devices

Form/Flows embedded in mobile pages may not display properly when rendered on mobile devices. frevvo offers these tips to resolve the issue. Note the default behavior for showLink is now set to false which will show the form in a frame. A true value will show the form/flow as a linkwill show the form in a frame. A true value will show the form/flow as a link.

Captcha

Live Forms 7.3.6+ incorporates Invisible reCAPTCHA for the Live Forms Captcha feature required because Google is shutting down the reCAPTCHA v1 API used in previous releases.

Migration Considerations for Live Forms In-house Customers  

...

Java 1.7 is no longer supported. In-house customers should upgrade to Java 8 before upgrading to v7.3+.  Please review Supported Platforms for a complete list. 

You must install the Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) or the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) before installing Live Forms. Although Live Forms will run with either JAVA package, the Insight Server requires the JAVA_HOME environment variable so set it to the installation directory for the Java package that you install. Refer to  JDK or JRE Prerequisite for configuration details. 

Tomcat version Upgraded

The version of tomcat used in the frevvo bundle has been upgraded to now uses Tomcat  8.5.16. Tomcat 7 is not supported for 7.3.0.

Override _data properties in Configuration Files

...

 Changing string name/value pairs in the default file found in the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps\ frevvo.war displays the new English version of the string on the UI. This is mainly for OEM partners and resellers, but it will work for any  in-house customer. Modifications to the strings in this file can be used to change the labels in the Form Designer e.g. change Palette to Palette Controls or change the text of a message such as "Access denied. Authentication required" to something more user friendly. To access the default file, the frevvo.war must be unzipped, then rezipped after the changes are made. Refer to the Customizing Runtime Messages and Labels in the Designers topic for the step by step instructions.

Geolocation

New in-house installations now require a Google Map API key if you want to embed a Google map in your forms/flows. See the Geolocation topic for instructions to obtain the key. This change does not apply to Cloud customers.
