New Goodies

[gmwestrup]

Do you have any new sample XML files? I learn a lot using them. Anyone else got any forms you want to share? I would like to get a sample of an order form that each next entry depends on the previous selection.

Also what is the latest version? I am currently running 670. Has development slowed down? It seems like it has by the forum entries.
