So, I just released the first version of the 2.1.0 alpha, which you're welcome to download here:
http://alpha.formtools.org/
Please use this forum for any and all discussion about the new version.
WARNING: this is a very early, buggy release!!! It is in no way ready for production use. The purpose of releasing it now was so that I can start soliciting general feedback and questions.
I'll be starting on the documentation soon. Honest! I realize this is a big impediment to making sense of the new features, but hopefully the few of you that do download it can muddle through.
I'm exceedingly interested in your comments: negative, especially! Find something utterly bewildering about the new version? Find anything deeply unintuitive or overly complicated? Now's the time to let me know! I'm very open to incorporating your changes.
Oh - and I've bundled a new "JS Error Logging" module with the first alpha release. It's a (very) simple module that just collects javascript errors that occur within the interface. Form Tools 2.1.0 now uses jQuery and jQuery UI, and the client-side code is considerably more complex than it's predecessor. That module has been very helpful locating problems that occur in your browser.
Anyway, enjoy! :-)

I have been waiting for this. Thanks
The API is missing and all the modules are not there. I copied the API script from an earlier version and it worked. Is it okay for one to copy all the missing modules and etc from earlier versions to cover up the missing gaps?
Am wondering whether the system is going to accommodate forms that insert multi rows of data into the database.
I have also noticed that the tab that used to lead to the alteration of database column headers is no longer there. Where has it been put this time.
Still trying out the new system.
