I have been waiting a long time for this, and it has finally come! The new version of Gravity Forms has been released : version 1.5! As you may guess, Gravity Forms is my favourite form building plugin for WordPress, for one reason which becomes obvious after using it : THERE IS NO OTHER EQUAL FORM BUILDING PLUGIN FOR WORDPRESS OUT THERE. (Yes I had to shout that)
