I wanted to develop a wizard based on Cocoon and XForms but I won't have the time, so it will be for the next next (next ?) release... Generally, the API is backward compatible except: - The toArray() method has changed its output. - The filters don't require to be registered anymore. - The preferred way to output the form is by using a renderer, even if we left some helper methods that will use QuickForm default renderer. - The way uploaded files are handled and validated will use features available since PHP 4.2 (was 4.0.6 before). A test will be done to check if files are required before other file validation rules are tested. - Adding headers or data will be done using addElement('header') and addElement('static') even if addHeader will still work. - The method renderElement had to be removed (I don't think it was used much anyway). I think that's pretty much it. Good luck with your project, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
