 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [2.3.0] - 2026-10-22
+
+All Docker installs should update: the image moves to PHP 8.5.12 for the October 2026 PHP security fixes. This release also rebuilds the form editor as one document. It has 2 upgrade steps, marked **Upgrade step** below.
+
 ### Added
 
--   The forms API (`GET /api/forms`) returns when each form last got a submission (`latest_submission_at`) and can sort by it, newest first. Sorting now works only by `name`, `created_at`, `updated_at` or `latest_submission_at`. Other sort values that worked before, like `published_at`, `id` or `uuid`, now give the default order. A dashboard link with an unknown filter or sort now shows your forms. Before, it showed no forms at all. (#242)
--   Search your forms by name, also without accents ("muller" finds "Müller"), and press "/" to jump to the search. The form list has status tabs with counts and sorts by latest submission, last edit, newest or name. Your choice stays in the address, so Back undoes it and a link shows the same list. Dashboard links with the old `?filter=` show all forms. (#248)
+-   The forms API (`GET /api/forms`) returns when each form last got a submission (`latest_submission_at`) and can sort by it, newest first. Sorting now works only by `name`, `created_at`, `updated_at` or `latest_submission_at`. Other sort values that worked before, like `published_at`, `id` or `uuid`, now give the default order. **Upgrade step:** if your API scripts sort `/api/forms` by `published_at`, `id` or `uuid`, switch them to `name`, `created_at`, `updated_at` or `latest_submission_at`.

 -   The form list shows when each form last got a submission, with a blue dot for the last 24 hours, and now opens sorted by latest submission. Its date column shows the date the list is sorted by. (#250)
 -   The API can copy a question (`POST /api/blocks/{block}/duplicate`) with its text, settings, answers and Required, but not its rules or its Identifier, so links that fill in answers and webhooks can't mix the two up. The copy goes right after the original. (#262)
 -   The public form API has a preview mode for the form's team: start a session with `preview: true`, also for a draft. Answers in preview mode are never stored or counted and send no webhooks or emails. (#266)
 -   Add `?preview=1` to your form's link to try it as a member of its team. Nothing is stored, files aren't uploaded and the form doesn't redirect at the end. (#270)
--   Add a question right where you need it: between questions or from a question's menu, and type "/" in an empty question to pick its answer type. A picker groups the answer types as Text, Choice, Rating, Other and Content, and the new question opens ready to type. The answer types have new names, like Single choice, Short text and Text only. (#276)
--   The form editor shows the end screen as the last block of your form. You can edit its headline, text and button right there, and the End screen tab in Settings shows the same values. (#271)
--   "Preview" in the editor shows your form beside the questions, on tablet and phone as a panel. It follows the question you edit, and the editor follows when you click Next in it. On the other form pages, "Preview" opens your form in a new tab in preview mode. Answers in either preview aren't saved. (#273)

 ### Changed

 -   The form list loads faster when a team has many forms. It now needs the same few database queries for one form or a hundred. Before, every form added 3 queries. (#256)
 -   On screens narrower than 1280 px, a form's editor bar now sits in two rows under the app header: the form with Dashboard and Preview, then Editor, Settings, Integrations and Submissions as tabs. Nothing in it scrolls sideways any more, and the header keeps the logo and your team name. On every screen, keyboard focus in the editor bar and the account menu now shows a blue ring. (#257)
 -   A form's pages have one top bar instead of two: the form's name with its menu, a Draft or Live label, the pages, Preview, Publish and your account. Publish first checks for questions without text, rules that point to a deleted question and a missing privacy link. Once the form is live, Share has its link, Open form and Unpublish. On a phone the pages sit in a tab bar at the bottom. (#265)
--   The form editor shows your whole form as one column. Each question shows its number, answer type, text, and if it is required, has rules or is hidden. The question you work on opens right there, also on a phone, where you couldn't edit questions before. Hiding a question, random order and custom answers are now under the question's Settings. An outline next to the form jumps to any question, and on a phone a question's Settings open from the bottom of the screen. Move a question with Alt+Up/Down, with Move up and Move down in its menu, or by dragging. Duplicate in a question's menu puts a copy right below it. (#268, #272, #275, #277)
--   Each rule now shows as a sentence under its question, and a group says when it's hidden. Edit changes a rule right there, and for choices, ratings and scales you pick the answer instead of typing it. A rule whose question was deleted shows in red and can't be saved until you fix it. (#274)
--   The form editor uses plain words: a question's settings are headed by its answer type, like Choices or Rating, "Identifier" is now "Short name", and every switch shows on or off. Settings name what they do, like "Lowest value", "Shuffle choices" and "None ticked: all types allowed." on file uploads. (#279)
--   The editor's preview shows the end screen while you edit it, with your latest text, and says so when your form sends people to a link instead. Its button opens in a new tab there, so you stay in the editor, and typing in a question you just opened no longer goes into the preview. On a tablet or phone, Esc closes the preview even after you clicked into it. Settings now calls the Completion Page "End screen", like the editor. (#280)
--   In the form editor a thin line marks where each question starts, its number stands out more, and the question you edit gets more room around it. On a phone the editor keeps a wider margin at the sides. (#281)

 -   A logic rule with a missing field now tells you in plain words what to fill in, like "Pick a question for condition 1." (#278)
 -   Deleting a question, a group, an answer choice, a consent policy or a logic rule in the form editor now asks first in the app's own dialog. It names the question, how many answers will be deleted with it, and the questions whose rules will stop working. A choice nobody picked, or a policy nobody agreed to, is still deleted at once.

 -   While your forms load, the form list shows placeholder rows. When the list can't load, it says so and offers "Try again". A search or status without forms says so and offers a way back, and screen readers hear how many forms a search finds. Before, all of these said you hadn't created a survey yet. A team without any forms now sees "Create your first form". A form you publish, unpublish, archive or restore in the list moves to its tab right away, and the tab counts follow. (#249)
 -   A form template with a description, language, color, button label, completion headline or link that is too long is now refused with a message that names the field, and the form stays as it was. Before, the import failed with a server error on MySQL and MariaDB. (#251)
 -   With a dialog open, Tab and Shift+Tab now stay inside the dialog, and closing it puts you back on the button that opened it. Before, Tab moved on to the page behind the dialog. (#252)
--   When a visitor's answer is too long to store, the form now says so and asks them to shorten it, in the form's language. Before, it only said "Your answers could not be sent". (#294)
 -   The form list's dates and blue dots now update while the page stays open, every minute and when you come back to the tab. Before, "12 min ago" stayed until you reloaded the page. The status tab counts and the search count now write numbers like the rest of the list, also in a browser set to another language. (#254)
 -   A submission where every question was skipped now counts. Before, a form with only such submissions showed "0 submissions" next to a recent submission date in the form list, and "No submissions found" on its submissions page. Forms with such submissions now show a higher count and completion rate. (#253)
 -   A form settings page now saves only its own settings. Before, a bad value saved on another settings page could block the save, with an error about a field that isn't on the page. When a save is refused, the editor keeps what was last saved, so the refused change no longer shows on the other settings pages. A good image upload after a failed one no longer shows the old error. (#255)
@@ -76,7 +79,7 @@ Lines marked **Upgrade step** need you to act after updating.
 -   A webhook answer that isn't valid UTF-8 text is now saved and shows on the submissions page, with each unreadable character as "?". Before, it wasn't saved and the webhook was called up to 5 times. With `QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync`, the submission itself failed with a server error. (#284)
 -   Opening a question in the editor no longer saves its answer settings, so "Saving…" does not show up for nothing. They save only when you change a setting. (#288)
 -   When a save fails, the red bar with Retry no longer makes the editor taller than your window. The page stays as tall as the window, so your last question and the end screen stay in reach. (#290)
--   Long answers are now accepted up to what the database can hold (about 36,000 plain letters, fewer with accents, emoji or non-Latin script), and a longer one is refused with a clear message and nothing is saved. Before, the limit was lower (about 30,000 plain letters) and the refusal was a technical message. (#293)
