Version 0.9.5.4, November 5, 2024
As part of the ongoing migration to Formly, we have deprecated the 'BM Form' widget and replaced it with 'BM Formly Forms'. This update includes a widget which will replace all Elementor form widgets. Currently includes all form and panel options (including location forms/panels), fact find, property forms, and legacy forms. Legacy forms will be deprecated entirely on 31JAN2025. This is the first of a significant number of changes to the Elementor features.
- Deprecated Fact Find Quiz: The Quiz version of the Fact Find report is deprecated and will be replaced by nicely formatted stepped forms. The standard Fact Find remains and is now integrated into the BM Formly Forms widget.
- BM Formly Forms Widget: BM Formly Forms consolidates all form and panel options (including location forms/panels), fact find, property forms, and legacy forms. Other forms are pending integration.

Version 0.9.5.2, June 23, 2024
This update includes new widgets, new search facilities, and a few minor updates.

Posts relevant to the search are returned in a dropdown to improve the user experience. The form is identical to the Elementor styled search bar. The Address Redirect search will search for a registered Australian address and immediately redirect to a dedicated property page. A new page was added to the framework that would cater for various use cases. It's expected that property reports will be delivered via the destination page. This is an important property module. The emergency search will search all Australian Police, Fire, Ambulance, and SES locations, and return the user to a dedicated page. See our website and FAQ module for more information.
