OpnForm is turning its V2 platform into an automation surface, one integration at a time.

◆Current state
OpnForm shipped V2 in June — a major release that added PDF generation, computed variables, form import from Typeform, Tally, Google Forms and Fillout, and a Free/Pro/Business/Enterprise plan system with self-hosted license gating. The three releases since have been almost entirely self-hosting repair: OIDC sign-in recovery, trusted-proxy handling, PDF template editors breaking under relative API paths. v2.3.0 is the first post-V2 release that adds capability rather than fixing it.
◆Where it's heading
The pattern is a large platform release followed by a long tail of self-hosted fixes, and OpnForm is now coming out the other side. v2.3.0 layers automation onto the V2 foundation — Make and Albato integrations, AI-assisted formula generation for the computed variables V2 introduced, and an audio block — while still closing self-hosted PDF bugs. Feature gating is doing real work now: Custom Code and similar capabilities are tied to license entitlements, with migrations backfilling existing self-hosted records.
◆Prediction
Expect more integration connectors and further AI assistance layered onto computed variables, since both extend V2 primitives rather than requiring new ones. The self-hosted PDF editor has needed fixes in three consecutive releases, so another round there is likely.

    v2.3.0: Automation, audio, AI formulas, and self-hosted PDF fixes

    The first release since V2 that meaningfully adds rather than repairs: Make and Albato integrations, AI-assisted formula generation for computed variables, an audio block with uploads and playback controls, and configurable submission retention. It builds directly on V2 primitives — the formula assist extends computed variables, and retention cleans up the submission versioning V2 introduced.

    v2.2.2: E2E CI reliability

    CI-only work — end-to-end runs no longer fire form-creation emails and spam checks synchronously, which had been exhausting memory on hosted runners. No user-visible change; it exists so the V2 test suite stops flaking.

    v2.2.1: Self-hosted reliability and file-link controls

    More self-hosted repair plus one real admin control: uploaded-file links can now expire anywhere from 24 hours to 30 days instead of a fixed 24, applied across email, CSV exports, webhooks, Slack, Discord, Telegram and Google Sheets. The OIDC work — a single automatic retry on an already-redeemed code, separated throttling, trusted-proxy support — continues the sign-in reliability thread running through the 2.2 line.

    v2.2.0: More reliable self-hosting and PDF generation

    Squarely a self-hosting release: OIDC connections can be updated without replacing the client secret, PostgreSQL health checks respect a custom database name, and Docker images now build for arm64 alongside amd64. This is the first wave of cleanup after V2's platform changes landed.

    v2.1.0: Self-hosted form fixes

    Two self-hosted bug fixes — PDF template zones placed out of reach on tall pages, and password-protected forms failing in Firefox because a secure-only cookie was rejected over plain HTTP. Narrow fixes, but both were V2 regressions on installs the company does not run.

    v2.0.0: OpnForm V2

    ⚡ SPARK

    The release the rest of this window is reacting to. V2 added PDF generation and templates, computed variables, form import from Typeform, Tally, Google Forms and Fillout, version history and submission summaries — then wrapped them in a Free/Pro/Business/Enterprise plan system with self-hosted license keys and feature gates.
