The latest release of the ODK 2 Tool Suite is now available for download!

**The v2.1.0 tools are not backward compatible with previous versions (v2.0.\*). The incompatibility is internal to the ODK tools, all external files such as XLSX forms, JavaScript/HTML, and server interfaces are unaffected. Most users should experience a smooth upgrade.**

The ODK 2 Tool Suite is an alternative to the ODK 1.x Tool Suite rather than a replacement. ODK 2 is designed for complex workflows and information management. A simple migration path between 1.x and 2 does not yet exist because they are based on different standards.

Detailed documentation about the 2 Tool Suite can be found at [https://docs.opendatakit.org/odk2](https://docs.opendatakit.org/odk2).
