Production Release
- fix french translation which was causing crashes on the 'Send Finalized Form' screen.
- fix manifest and opencsv.jar so that Google Play can distribute app to devices.
Release Candidates
- partial fix issue 918 (on Google Code) - If Android 4.3 and higher devices include the Bouncy Castle encryption provider, then encrypted forms will be saved and encrypted. If the Bouncy Castle provider is not available, then the forms will be saved without encryption. This addresses encryption failures on Android 4.3. It is unclear if Bouncy Castle will always be present on Android 4.3 systems (on the tested systems, it is present) or if it will ever become unavailable in the future. Without this fix, data corruption will occur on Android 4.3 and higher systems. Fix accomplished with significant assistance by CTOSurvey.
- fix silent failures when encrypted forms do not specify a server URL.
- add a pow(a,b) function to raise 'a' to the power 'b' contributed by Nafundi.
- fix for dynamic itemset interaction with jr:choice-name (where select choices are stored in separate named instances within the XML).
- add JR function: property(name) to retrieve the property from the property manager. Eliminates the need to first store the property in a field -- they can now be used directly within a formula. NOTE: only works with immutable values -- i.e., does not work with start or end time.
- fix date widget appearance for month-year and year-only on newer 4.x devices.
- add 'no-calendar' appearance to force older spinner-only display on newer 4.x devices.
- eliminate extra blank line that was displayed if a question did not have a text label.
- update to newer 3.x and 4.x user interface standards. Legacy 2.x devices should continue to work as before. Key changes are to the menu (the icons are no longer shown) and while filling out a form, the save and hierarchy menu items are reachable via the icons on the 'action bar' at the top of the app.
- update icons to conform to pixel dimensions of their respective dpi classes. This shrinks some icons for some displays, and enlarges others for other displays. Add xhdpi icons.
- supply 'largeHeap' attribute to enable ODK Collect to run with a larger heap (including stack) on some devices (dependent upon hardware manufacturer). Can enable more complex regex() functions.
- expose the InstanceUploaderList intent for direct access to the 'Send Finalized Form' screen by other apps.
- new 'placement-map' appearance for geopoint widget. This presents a map display where you can drag the geolocation marker on the map, and save the new hand-placed geolocation back into the form (contributed by Guillaume Salmon).
- improved gzip'd download of files from server (contributed by Sassafras Tech Collective)
- new General Settings option to defer all validation checks until the end of a form; ability to hide this option using the Admin Settings (contributed by Sassafras Tech Collective).
- the External String, Integer, Decimal widgets now pass the current data value into the external intent via the "value" field.
- new "align:outerRectWidth outerRectHeight innerRectWidth innerRectHeight innerRectXOffset innerRectYOffset" appearance for image widget. Displays a red registration box overlay on the camera image for aiding image capture. Uses the https://github.com/opendatakit/alignedcamera app.
- new "query...." appearance for string widget. Will provide select choices from csv data (contributed by Nafundi) Changes to XLSForm and documentation of this feature are in progress - no firm ETA.
- update to javarosa library.
- improved reporting of incorrect number of function arguments.
- issue 852 (on Google Code) - improved traceback of validation errors to line in xml file. (contributed by SurveyCTO)
- issue 846 (on Google Code), issue 832 (on Google Code), issue 822 (on Google Code) - suppress spurious validation failures (contributed by SurveyCTO)
- ensure that uuid(), now(), today() and random() compute new values at each use within a form (previously, if you had two calculate expressions of 'uuid()', they would both return the same UUID (or instant of time, or random number).
- issue 630 (on Google Code), issue 808 (on Google Code), issue 855 (on Google Code) - datetime values truncated to date in computations. Fixed by adding new functions:
- date-time(x) -- convert a decimal time or string to a dateTime value without setting the time-of-day to 00:00:00.000 local time (i.e., preserve the incoming fractional day / time-of-day in the resulting dateTime) value.
- format-date-time(df, fmt) -- format a dateTime field (df) according to the fmt string without first truncating the dateTime field value to a date-only (00:00:00.000 time) value.
- decimal-date-time(x) -- convert a dateTime, date or string value to a decimal time value (integer days since 1970-01-01 plus fractional time of day).
- decimal-time(x) -- convert a time value to a decimal time value (0.0 + fractional (local) time of day).
- indexed-repeat(repeatedfield, repeatgroup, index): References a field or group that is inside a prior repeat group. The first parameter specifies the prior field or group in which you are interested; the second specifies the prior repeat group within which thefield or group of interest is located; and the third specifies the instance number, within the prior repeat group, to use. For example, the calculate expression "indexed-repeat(${name}, ${names}, 1)" will return the first name available when the "name" field is inside a prior repeat group named "names". From inside a later repeat group, the calculate expression "indexed-repeat(${name}, ${names}, position(..))" will pull the xth name from the prior repeat group, where x is the instance number of the current repeat group (e.g., if currently in the fourth instance of a repeat group, it will return the fourth name from the earlier repeat group). If you need to reference a field or group within multiple nested repeat groups, you can supply additional parameters to indicate the instance numbers to use for each level of nesting. For example, the calculate expression "indexed-repeat(${name}, ${families}, ${familynumber}, ${names}, ${membernumber})" will pull a particular family member's name when family member names are inside a repeat group that is itself inside a repeat group of families. (contributed by SurveyCTO)
- fix: Draw, Annotate widget: the set-color action was not functional on ldpi screens (pop-up is too big for screen).
- fix: potentially unsafe re-initialization of JavaRosa libraries
- behavior change: csv files, when downloaded as part of the form definition's set of media files, are parsed and inserted into SQLite database for use in 'query...' appearance string widget.
- fix: add guards to prevent crashes due to SDCard not being available.
- behavior change: if the instance directory might be located under an ODK Tables or ODK Survey apps directory structure, when we delete the instance from ODK Collect, do not delete the media files (they are owned by Tables or Survey). This directory structure is under /sdcard/odk/xxxx/instances/yyyy/zzzz/.
- fix: updating instance information did not update the last-status-change-date in the database.
- fix: crash when no instanceName field present in metadata block (or, potentially, instanceId).
- issue 851 (on Google Code) extension: if the bind element contains a jr:requiredMsg="" attribute, process this like a jr:constraintMsg and display it when data is not supplied. This is the new mechanism for supporting translations and customizations of these messages for, e.g., field-list groups.
- fix: ActivityLogger (normally not enabled) could throw an error when logging some actions due to an unexpected null value.
- project now depends upon playservices https://github.com/opendatakit/playservices (for new maps V2.0 API).
- fix force close during submissions.
- issue 804 (on Google Code), issue 805 (on Google Code), issue 817 (on Google Code) - continued attempt to fix visibility issues in Google Play store.
- issue 804 (on Google Code), issue 805 (on Google Code) add uses-feature declarations in attempt to restore lost visibility of ODK Collect in Google Play store.
- issue 800 (on Google Code) - updated dutch translations.
- fix Force Close when uploading submissions and there is an authentication failure.
Production release of ODK Collect.
Significant enhancements:
- printer support on Android 3.1 and higher systems. See https://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/examples/#printing_widgets and https://opendatakit.org/use/sensors-framework/zebra-printer-driver/
- configurable display and use of 'back' and 'next' buttons, and the enabling or disabling of swipe treatment within form pages (contributed work by Nafundi).
- configurable background transmission of submissions when network connections are detected (contributed work by Nafundi).
- application settings can now be saved to disk and loaded from disk (makes configuring device fleets easier). (contributed work by Nafundi).
- issue 401 (on Google Code) - string prompts now can render a configurable-height text entry box, via the
rowsattribute on their<input>tag. - issue 751 (on Google Code) - compact (a.k.a. grid view) select-one and select-multiple prompts now can render text label arrays or icon arrays.
- compact (a.k.a. grid view) select-one and select-multiple prompts, if given a fixed column width (e.g., compact-4), will rescale the images so that they exactly fit the natural width of the device. Images are not rescaled when the device is then rotated 90 degrees.
- if a meta/instanceName field is defined in a form, the non-empty value of that field will be used as the instanceName when the form is saved (and the user will be unable to alter it). Otherwise, the pre-1.3 instance naming treatment will be used. By defining this as a calculated field, the form designer can control the naming of the submission instances.
- if itext contains constraintMsg or requiredMsg forms, then these will be used for the constraint failure and required-but-missing error messages.
Other changes:
- counts are now displayed on the main menu for the number of saved and unsent forms present on the device.
- issue 754 (on Google Code)- improved network error handling when connections time out.
- issue 695 (on Google Code) - color picker used by annotation, free drawing and signature prompts now works on smaller devices (supports scrolling).
- issue 692 (on Google Code) - fix several issues around upload failures (may not be complete).
- move strings that shouldn't be translated out of strings.xml
- bug fix for Forced Close when clearing already-cleared form field.
- issue 780 (on Google Code) - delay reporting a geolocation until the second location update. Attempted fix for stale geolocations being reported on some devices.
- issue 740 (on Google Code) - updates to french strings.
- issue 739 (on Google Code) - updates to lt strings
- issue 722 (on Google Code) - updates to ka strings
- issue 690 (on Google Code) - when ODK Aggregate protocol is selected, formList and submissions settings were not being reset to the paths ODK Aggregate uses.
Production release of ODK Collect.
Addition of admin mode
- fix admin preferences to properly default to historical non-admin behavior.
- issue 734 (on Google Code), 735 - update string translations.
- issue 709 (on Google Code) - hide "Get Location" button when geopoint widget is read-only.

The admin mode functionality was sponsored by eHealth Nigeria. Admin mode enables you to customize what features in ODK Collect are available to your data collectors. For example, you can choose what buttons appear on the main screen so you can prevent collectors from accidentally editing or deleting saved forms. You can also prevent collectors from jumping to arbitrary prompts, renaming saved forms, or changing any of ODK Collect's settings unless they know the admin password.

Production release of ODK Collect.
To upgrade, first ensure that all saved forms have been finalized and that there are no not-yet-sent forms remaining on the phone. Then remove the old app and install the new one.
- Write savepoints after each swipe. Savepoints enable ODK Collect to recover all the answers for an in-progress form after unexpected terminations or closures. When the user chooses Edit Saved Form, the savepoint will be used if it is newer than the last save of the form. If a form was never explicitly saved, if the user chooses Fill Blank Form, ODK Collect will restore to the savepoint of the last unsaved copy of that form. Savepoints take less than 1 second to perform for eIMCI on Droid and Ideos phones.
- encrypted forms support https://opendatakit.org/help/encrypted-forms/. Encrypts the form when marked as complete. Data is in plaintext on the phone prior to marking as complete and plaintext data may remain afterward (under some conditions, captured media files may continue to be accessible via other apps on the device).
- enable cascading selects as in KoBo Collect.
- improve the display of select1 with "minimal" appearance.
- add menu item on the Send Finalized Form screen to toggle display of either just the unsent forms or all the sent and unsent forms (allows users to more easily resend forms).
- add preload properties for username, email, and uri-prefixed variants of these properties. The valid properties (case insensitive) are:
- deviceId, uri:deviceId
- subscriberId, uri:subscriberId
- simSerial, uri:simSerial
- phoneNumber, uri:phoneNumber
- username, uri:username
- email, uri:email
- add "month-year" and "year" appearance to the date widget to display only the month and year, or only the year spinner, respectively.
- do not list read-only widgets in the hierarchy view if they have no label string.
- add support for launching an external app to obtain a string, integer or decimal value. Support is via "ex:intentpath" appearance attribute on string, integer or decimal input widgets. An example external app is BreathCounter here https://github.com/opendatakit/breathcounter
- support user interaction logging for all application interactions. This is disabled by default, but can be used to capture interactions for usability studies. See ActivityLogger.java for details.
- issue 651 (on Google Code) fix for errors relating to editing saved files that complained about ../ or ./ references. (updated javarosa library).
- issue 647 (on Google Code) add position() predicate
- fix for incorrect evaluation of XPath expressions with or conditions.
