+Release Notes for mpForm 1.2.0
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+In the backend of the module you can import and export the whole form
+(including all fields and settings) as xml file. The submissions and
+results tables however are not exported. This mechanism can also be
+used to install the standard forms which is available together with
+the documentation (sse below).
+
+There is a new wizard now, which allows to populate html code sections
+such that div-sections are shown or hidden, depending on the current
+selection of another form element of your choice. They are called
+conditionally displayed blocks. They are not really a field type 
+but you can easily populate a html code block with sophisticated
+code, which you can distribute later across several html sections
+in order to show/hide whole parts of the form.
+
+Hidden fields are now available for inserting data into the form 
+submission which is hidden to the user - this can be useful for handing
+over data between different pages of multi page forms.
+
+Italian language support has been added and the language support in the 
+Ajax helpers has been improved.
+
+Feature Enhancements
+--------------------
+
+The switch to enable/disable fields is available to all field types now,
+including html code and headings.
+
+In the past the results tables often were a source of trouble. In this
+version of mpform their structure is always kept up to date. If you happen
+to change the suffix for the results table in the settings, add or copy
+fields the table is created or the column is inserted if needed.
+
+Additionally, if you wish not to make use of the results tables at all,
+you can disable them completely by setting the suffix to the string
+"DISABLED".
+
+For html code fields there is a new switch which allows to specify where
+the code shall be used: In the form on the web page, in the html code
+for the site owner, and/or the html code for the user confirmation.
+
+In html code sections normal html comments can be inserted which are 
+shown in the output as well, but as a new feature, if the inner part
+of the html comment is additionally commented out with php comments,
+it is suppressed in the output: <!--/* vanishing comment */-->
+
+API Changes
+-----------
+
+The private functions take more arguments now, because the mpform 
+module does not make use of global variables anymore. Of course, the
+usual globals like the database object and the superglobals like the 
+session are available. For details see the private.default.php.
+The examples are more detailed now and better commented.
+
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+The documentation has been updated and included in the module (I hope
+that the forum lets me upload the file - if it is too large, I'll
+make it available as a separate zip archive).
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+The results tables are correctly removed now, when a mpform section is
+removed. In the past unused results tables were kept in the database 
+after removing the forms until one eventually uninstalls the module.
+This change also implies that you should make a backup of the submissions
+when you remove the form. The results table is of course kept in the case
+when multiple forms write to the same results table.
+
+
+General Changes
+---------------
+
+Promised a long time ago and finally finished: The module works in sql 
+strict mode now.
+
+In general the code has been reworked a lot. Long lines have been wrapped
+and properly indented for better readability of the code and to assist
+users when they try to identify a bug. It is not a complete rewrite of the
+code but nearly. Module specific global variables are not used anmore. 
+
+Old code for WB 2.7 has been removed and code for backwards compatibility 
+to versions of WB 2.8 earlier than 2.8.3 have been made consistent throughout
+the whole code. IDKEY and FTAN are two examples. These features are only 
+used when the core supports them. In general it is not recommended to 
+run old versions without such security features. But anyhow, in the previous
+versions of mpform, there were checks which allowed to run without them,
+but not in all parts of the module.
+
+When sending http headers to redirect the user to another page, there is 
+an additional check now, if the headers have already been sent. If so, 
+an alternative redirection link is presented to the user. This can help
+when other modules/snippets interfere with the way how the content is 
+buffered or sent to the user.
