A complete rundown of the features, enhancements, and changes can be found below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alert_blue\">This is the first time Gravity Forms has ever made such a major change to the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.gravityforms.com\/database-storage-structure-reference\/\">database schema<\/a> so we want to ensure that every site is upgraded successfully without any loss of entry data. To avoid potential issues we advise all customers to test this version before the final release and report any issues.<\/div>\n<p>Now is the time for 3rd party developers and customers who have implemented customizations that may be impacted by these changes to be testing and readying changes in preparation for the final release of Gravity Forms v2.3 via automatic update.<\/p>\n<h2>Gravity Forms v2.3 Highlights<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Improved accessibility: tabindex attribute is now suppressed unless enabled via the shortcode or <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.gravityforms.com\/gform_tabindex\/\">gform_tabindex filter<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Select All choice added to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.gravityforms.com\/checkboxes\/\">Checkbox Field<\/a> to easily select\/deselect all choices.<\/li>\n<li>Multiple form export files can now be imported at once using the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.gravityforms.com\/importing-a-form-into-gravity-forms\/\">Import\/Export tools<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Introduced support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openssl.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenSSL<\/a> encryption.<\/li>\n<li>Deprecated support for <a href=\"http:\/\/php.net\/manual\/en\/book.mcrypt.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mcrypt<\/a> encryption.<\/li>\n<li>Added Notifications setting for defining CC email to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.gravityforms.com\/configuring-notifications-in-gravity-forms\/\">Email Notification<\/a>.

If your site or multisite network has a large number of entries (100k+) then, depending on your server resources, you may find the migration takes a long time to complete. If you have any questions or see any errors, please open a support ticket so we can help you.<\/p>\n<h2>Note for Developers<\/h2>\n<p>The database schema has changed in v2.3 to improve performance and scalability. If you have any code that accesses the Gravity Forms tables directly you will need to update your table and column names. Any existing code that uses <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.gravityforms.com\/getting-started-with-the-gravity-forms-api-gfapi\/\">Gravity Forms API<\/a> functions (GFAPI) will not be affected.<\/p>\n<h2>Gravity Forms v2.3 Beta 3 Changelog<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Added the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.gravityforms.com\/gform_form_list_count\/\">gform_form_list_count<\/a> filter for overriding the filter counts on the forms list page.
