In anticipation for the upcoming release of Gravity Forms 2.5 on Tuesday April 27 (USA EST), today we’ve published Gravity PDF 6.0-RC2.
Gravity PDF 6.0 will be released on the same day as Gravity Forms 2.5. If you haven’t already, we strongly encourage you to start testing Gravity Forms 2.5-RC3 and Gravity PDF 6.0-RC2 on a staging site to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Testing everything works as expected will give you the confidence to update both pieces of software on day dot.
This release candidate includes new features, bugs fixes, and a few housekeeping and developer changes.

- Sign Up for Your Free 2.5 Demo Site – The Gravity Forms team have created a 2.5 demo experience you can freely sign up for that allows you to easily spin up a new site using 2.5RC-3. You can then download and install Gravity PDF 6.0-RC2 and start playing around.
If you run into any problems or have some feedback about 6.0-RC2, please submit a support ticket on GravityPDF.com. It’s your direct feedback that makes Gravity PDF grow bigger and better.
