Gravity Forms v1.7.7 is now available via automatic update and the downloads page. While vX.X.X releases going forward will only contain updates, bug fixes, refinements and NO new features, v1.7.7 does include some new features. Only vX.X releases will contain new features going forward. On that note, i'm also please to announce that development on Gravity Forms v1.8 has begun!
One of the new features in v1.7.7 is an easter egg! We aren't telling you what it is... yet. The first person to comment on this release announcement and correctly guess what the feature is, will win a free Gravity Forms renewal. Maybe we'll even throw in a free upgrade if you don't already have a Business or Developer License! If nobody guesses correctly, we'll post another blog post at the beginning of next week revealing the new feature and it's details. Here's a hint... it has to do with Entries.
The other new feature is support for the Touch Punch script which makes jQuery UI touch enabled. Touch Punch is a core WordPress script so we are able to implement this without introducing new scripts within Gravity Forms. The primary benefit of this feature is it makes any functionality that uses jQuery UI's draggable, droppable or sortable touch enabled and will work on touch enabled mobile devices, tablets and touch screens.
Implementation of Touch Punch now means you can re-arrange entry list columns using the entry list column customizer via touch screen device, re-order your fields in the Form Editor via a touch screen device, and re-order choices on Drop Down, Radio Button and Checkbox fields via touch screen devices. It also means we'll be making other things within the Form Editor, and Gravity Forms itself, touch enabled. So keep an eye out on where we take this in the future.
Remember, find the easter egg feature in this release and post a comment below with your guess... first person to guess correctly wins!

is it the star feature?
Nope...
If you hit the Select All button, and there is more entries then there are on the page, it gives you the option to select those entries as well.
Nice improvement guys 😀
I think new feature is related to multiple entries selection.
If I select all entries on a page, I get option to select all entires for that form with a message like:
"All 20 entries on this page are selected. Select all 762 entries."Where "Select all 762 entries." is clickable.
Please confirm.
Is its the ability to re-arrange (draggable) columns via touch screen devices under Entries > edit. (Active columns and Inactive Columns pop up box) ?
You have added the option to Resend the User Notification, just under the option to Resend the Admin Notification
When selecting all entries on a page in the admin, you can also select the entries on subsequent pages, i.e. "All 20 entries on this page are selected. Select all 163 entries."?
Can't spot anything different?!!
Love the new "select all" for entries, just marked read for all in a test suite. I like!
cheers,
Ross
The entry pagination?
Is it Akismet integration?
What a cool idea for a contest!
Is it the ability to resend notifications?
Or is it Filters?
Is it the drag and drop to order and select which columns are displayed in the entries table?
Entries can be marked as spam?
is it spam flagging?
You can now cycle through entries.
I think it is that
When you select all entries on a page, you get an option to select all entries for the form.
Looks like we can edit the entry.
Spam
You can now select all Entries even if only the first 20 are visible.
Saving entries as post types?
wow...having been looking for 30 minutes...ugh...Can I spot the egg with no entries on a new install? #hint
Links to entries on the form overview list.
Well, you can mark entries as spam now. Don't recall that being in there before.
Oh, my first note was wrong. It was a setting. But you can page through the entries now when viewing an individual entry.
The only thing I can see is - when in Entries, you edit the columns to take an inactive column into active and save, it shows up. When you click edit columns to show again, the one you just added is not in the active columns.
We have a winner who sent the correct guess in via Facebook. The winner and full details on the feature will follow shortly once we receive some information from the winner.
He also actually did post his guess via comments on this post but it was stuck in moderation. He was also the first to guess correctly via comments.
It is the guess above from scottidesign on the Select All functionality that allows you to Select All including results that may appear on subsequent pages when you are viewing a lot of entries. Previously you couldn't select all and it was limited to the current page of entries when viewing a large number of entries.
We'll be posting a blog post about it shortly... Thanks for the guesses everyone!
