We released SiteBuilder version 2.607 on Monday 31^st March 2025. Changes in this update include:

• The backend for SiteBuilder Forms has been overhauled with improved and refactored code. Users should see no changes in how forms are set up, managed or submitted, but these improvements will enable development of new features going forward.
