Version Specific Upgrade Notes History

Version 15 of Umbraco Forms has a minimum dependency on Umbraco CMS core of 15.0.0. It runs on .NET 9.

Breaking changes

Version 15 contains a number of breaking changes. If you do run into any, they should be straightforward to adjust and recompile.

For reference, the full details are listed here:

Configuration

• The setting FieldSettings:Recaptcha3:ShowFieldValidation has a new default of true.
