Changelog

Every released version of the FormForge Chrome extension, newest first. Breaking changes and anything that affects your saved profiles or rules are called out explicitly.

1.0.0

First public release

The first version of FormForge. Everything below is new, so this entry describes what shipped rather than what changed.

Fill engine

  • Writes values through the native setter and the framework's own change tracking, so React, Vue and Angular controlled inputs register the input instead of discarding it on the next render.
  • Shadow DOM support, including nested shadow roots and custom elements.
  • Same-origin iframe support — the engine is injected into all frames, because forms are frequently split across them.
  • Rich-text and contenteditable regions.
  • react-select and similar custom dropdowns, including dependent ones where the second list only loads after the first is chosen.
  • Handles field names containing dots, dashes and other characters that break naive selector matching.

Generated data

  • Reads each field's type, label, placeholder, ARIA attributes and autocomplete token, then generates a value that fits it.
  • Names, addresses and phone numbers in English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese, matched to the page's own language.
  • Respects min, max, step, date ranges and maxlength — a 10-character mobile field gets 5551234567, never a clipped "(555) 123-".
  • Luhn-valid test card numbers.
  • One consistent fictional person per fill, so the filled form reads sensibly.
  • Email prefix addressing: set a prefix like "qa" and every generated address becomes qa+4821@yourdomain.com.

Reporting and safety

  • Every fill returns a report of which fields were filled, which were skipped, and which were written but then rejected by the page.
  • CAPTCHA fields, hidden inputs, disabled and readonly fields, file pickers and anything invisible are left strictly alone.
  • Required checkboxes are always ticked, because a form that cannot submit is not filled.

Self-test

  • A built-in self-test page runs the real engine against dozens of deliberately awkward field types and reports what works in your browser build.

Permissions

  • No standing access to any website. The extension cannot read a page until you click the toolbar icon, press a shortcut, or use the right-click menu.
  • No analytics, no telemetry, no remote code. The extension makes no network calls.

Pro features

  • Saved profiles, custom field rules, per-site rules, seeded reproducible data and exportable self-test reports.
  • A 7-day trial that requires no card and no account, and a one-time US$39 licence delivered as a signed key by email and verified offline.

FormForge is new, so this page is short. Every subsequent release will be listed here with its version number, date and changes, including anything that affects data you have saved.
