FormsTool Change Log

New builds of FormsTool are getting released regularly. We follow an iterative development process where bugfixes and new features are added to each new build. If you find a bug in our tools then please make sure it's not already fixed in the latest version. If the bug still exists then we would love to hear about it to get the chance to fix it!

We are usually able to respond and fix things quite quickly thanks to our iterative development approach. Please submit a description of the bug together with a small test case (Forms module, etc) to support@orcl-toolbox.com.
