This release wraps up recent additions to ODK Build since release 0.3.5, upgrades dependencies and documents deployment procedures.

What's Changed

  • New "Select one" appearance Likert for ratings.
  • New metadata kind Start Geopoint: A new metadata field of kind start_geopoint captures the device's initial geolocation. As a useful side effect, a "Start Geopoint" at the beginning of the form warms up the GPS chip to speed up other geolocation fields in the form.
  • New attribute Guidance hint: Expandable help text can be added as "Guidance hint" and shown, toggled, or hidden (which is the default) through ODK Collect's setting Form Management > Show guidance for questions. Guidance hints are a great tool for a self-contained summary of training instructions, or to include additional context, without permanently occupying screen space.
  • New attribute Short label: An additional "Advanced" attribute "Short label" provides a concise label shown in the read-only summary of the hierarchy view.
  • New attributes for Media types: Questions can now have media labels of type image, bigImage, audio, video.
  • All fields above support translations into multiple languages.
  • The export to XLSForm supports all above fields, but be aware that language codes might need adjustments ("English" vs. "English (en)"), and short labels are not supported by the XLSForm standard.
  • Improved form ID and version: The timestamped form slug becomes form version, and the sanitized form title becomes the form id. This naming and versioning scheme works great with ODK Central's form versioning.
  • Fixed styling issues: The sidebar is now slightly wider for better readability.
  • Improved documentation for contributors, developers, maintainers, and deployers. This makes maintaining and upgrading Build easier and faster.
