Velocity5.0

Open-source form builder for surveys, contact forms and lead capture

OpnForm's V2 bet: import your Typeform, generate the PDF, self-host the lot.

Current state
OpnForm is an open-source form builder that shipped a major V2 in June 2026 and has spent every release since hardening it for self-hosters. V2 brought PDF generation from submissions, computed variables, version history, and importers for Typeform, Tally, Google Forms and Fillout. The three releases after it are almost entirely OIDC, Docker and PDF reliability work.
Where it's heading
The product is aimed at teams leaving a hosted form builder: the importers remove the migration cost, PDF generation covers the paperwork workflows those tools charge for, and the run of self-hosting fixes makes the destination credible enough to move to. The plan-based feature access introduced in V2 is the commercial half — an open core with an Enterprise tier, now being enforced consistently across self-hosted installs.
Prediction
Expect the next releases to keep filling in V2's surface rather than opening a new one, with PDF templates and computed variables the likeliest areas given how often both reappear in follow-up fixes.

    v2.2.2: E2E CI reliability

    Purely CI work — E2E runs stop executing form-creation emails and spam checks synchronously, which was exhausting memory on the hosted runner. No user-visible change, though it is the third release tagged in a single day.

    v2.2.1: Self-hosted reliability and file-link controls

    More of the self-hosting hardening that has followed V2: OIDC recovery from already-redeemed authorization codes, trusted-proxy support, and separated throttling. The configurable 24-hour-to-30-day validity on uploaded-file links is a genuine admin control, not a fix.

    v2.2.0: More reliable self-hosting and PDF generation

    OIDC connections can be edited without replacing the client secret, and a changed public URL can be repaired rather than forcing a rebuild of the connection. Together with the PostgreSQL health-check fix, this is the release that made V2's SSO story survivable for an operator.

    v2.1.0: Self-hosted form fixes

    Two self-hosted fixes: PDF template zones no longer land out of reach on tall pages, and password-protected forms work again on plain-HTTP instances where Firefox rejected the secure-only cookie. Both are V2 features failing in deployments the team clearly had not tested.

    v2.0.0: OpnForm V2

    ⚡ SPARK

    The release the rest of this window services. Every subsequent tag is a repair to something V2 introduced, which is the clearest available measure of how much surface it added at once.
