--------------The next release of ODK Collect has some very major changes to the
underlying Javarosa libraries.
Among them are:
- constraints and calculations are now properly fired when groups become
newly relevant http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=888 - jr:choice-name and hint text is now properly expanded for substitution
strings http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=894&q=Mar2014
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=969&q=Mar2014 - the current() qualifier, used where you might use the instance('name')
qualifier, is now supported for referring to the current form and context.
This may solve some issues relating to filtered cascading selects within
repeat groups
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=886&q=Mar2014 - ODK Collect now writes the savepoint of the form being edited in the
background, rather than stalling the UI. - ODK Collect 'Go To Prompt' screen should now properly display prompts
after repeat groups
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=827&q=Mar2014 - geopoints can now be referenced in a calculation -- boolean true if they
are defined, numeric value is accuracy, string value is the standard "lat
long alt acc" text.
Thanks!
