Wufoo Release Notes

We're constantly working to make Wufoo the best forms solution out there. Check in here to see all of the new things we're shipping to our amazing users.

The latest and greatest from Wufoo

Month of August 2020

What’s new

  • Form logos: We now display the Wufoo logo at the top of the forms on Free plans. All paid plans have the ability to customize the logo and place their own.
  • Authorize.net payments: The transaction info now contains an itemized list of the forms sub-totals rather than only the grand-total.

Bug fixes

  • Authorize.net: Fixed a number rounding issue that prevented the transaction from proceeding.
  • Download HTML/CSS: Fixed an issue that prevented you from downloading the file in the new Wufoo experience.

Month of July 2020

What’s new

  • Price field: We added the Philippine Peso as an available currency for payment forms.
  • Forms limit: If an account is above its forms limit, we moved the warning pop-up to show when launching the Form Builder rather than on save. It’s much clearer now why it’s happening and the action needed.

Bug fixes

  • Hyperlinks defined in the text of the File Upload field when using the Newfangled theme are now functional again.

Month of June 2020

What’s new

  • Price field: Added the Philippine Peso to the list of available currencies

Bug fixes

  • Safari on iOS: Addressed an issue that wasn’t allowing form rules from being triggered when the form was embedded and viewed on iOS Safari.
  • Worldpay payments: Fixed an issue where submitting a payment would return a JSON error in certain cases.

Month of May 2020

Bug fixes

  • IE11: Fixed an issue that prevented the Form Manager from displaying the list of forms.

April 2020

What’s new

  • Export entries as XLSX: We’re happy to announce that we now allow the export of entries as XLSX in the new Wufoo experience. The advantages of exporting as XLSX are many, including live hyperlinks, support for international phone numbers, broader character set support, date formatting and more.
  • Form Manager: Added colors to the progress bars indicating current limits to better indicate the status.

Bug fixes

  • Stripe: The amount displayed in the Stripe dashboard was occasionally off by one cent due to a rounding logic mismatch. Small but important tweak, the numbers now match.
  • The Apply button in the Entry Manager column selector no longer goes for a walk when the column label is wider than the width of the pop-up box. We added a bit of glue and made sure it stays on-screen.
  • Entry Manager: The little pop-up calendar in the filter dialog fully displays again. 

March 2020

What’s new

  • Check-out page: We added a new field to our billing page to capture the Province or Territory for Canadian customers.
  • Authorize.net: We updated our integration with Authorize.net to use their latest SDK 

Bug fixes

  • Password reset: A notification email is now sent to the user upon a successful reset. And we also now track it as part of the Activity Log.
  • Upgrade UI: We’ve blocked off the ability for an account owner to upgrade to the same plan they are currently on. Nothing would happen, but it was confusing.

February 2020

What’s new

  • Entry Manager: Columns are now added to the grid in the same order as they appear in the form, making it easier to differentiate between fields.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a typo for Norway’s country name when the form was set to Norwegian. It now properly reads as Norge.

Week of Jan 20, 2020

What’s new

What’s new

  • Billing page: We now display a little box in the account page to indicate any pending charges.
