Contact Form 7 version 5.8 is now available. This major update includes several significant changes. Upgrading the plugin to 5.8 is recommended to all users.
Requires PHP 7.4+
As announced previously, the new support policy for old WordPress/PHP versions has been introduced. Based on this policy, Contact Form 7 5.8 requires PHP 7.4 or greater to work.
SWV 1.2.0
The bundled Schema-Woven Validation (SWV) package has been updated to 1.2.0. SWV 1.2.0 additionally supports dayofweek and time rule types.
Hash-based contact form identification
In order to improve portability of blocks and shortcodes used to embed contact forms, Contact Form 7 5.8 introduces a new form identification mechanism based on SHA-1 hash. The previously used post-ID-based identification will continue to work, so you don’t have to replace old blocks and shortcodes.
Requires: WordPress 6.2 or higher
Tested up to: WordPress 6.3-RC3
