Contact Form 7 5.0 is now available. With growing awareness of personal data protection, we are working on improvements that will allow you to make contact forms more privacy-friendly. Some of these changes are included in 5.0. Also, with newly introduced filter hooks and special mail tag types, customizability of mail has been significantly improved.

Contact Form 7 4.9
Contact Form 7 4.9 is now available. If you have contact forms for logged-in users, the newly introduced Subscribers-Only Mode will be a great improvement. 4.9 adds new filter hooks and a custom DOM event that allows you to control your contact forms more flexibly. Fixes for several bugs seen in the previous versions are also included. I strongly recommend upgrading to 4.9 now.
Contact Form 7 4.8.1
Contact Form 7 4.8.1 is now available. This release fixes several bugs found in Contact Form 7 4.8.
on_sent_ok Is Deprecated
The Additional Setting “on_sent_ok” is used to assign a JavaScript code that will be executed when a form submission completes and mail has been sent successfully. It is often used for the purpose of tracking form submissions with web analytics services or redirecting to another page after a form submission.
The “on_sent_ok” and its sibling setting “on_submit” are deprecated and scheduled to be abolished by the end of 2017. It’s not that using those settings is unsafe, but it’s possible that enabling them will increase risk in case there are vulnerabilities in this plugin or in other components of your site. It’s time to replace them with a safer alternative.
Update: on_sent_ok and on_submit have been officially removed from Contact Form 7 5.0.
