Contact Form 7 version 5.8.1 is now available. This minor update release includes several improvements.

Changes in the configuration validator

Along with the introduction of the new error type that warns of unsafe email configurations, this version introduces important changes in the configuration validator. While most users don’t need to worry about this, if you are a developer and have ever used the WPCF7_ConfigValidator class in your code, I recommend you pay attention to the code changes. Some of the changes are backward-incompatible.

Requires: WordPress 6.2 or higher
Tested up to: WordPress 6.3.1
