ODK-X Tool Suite Release v2.1.7

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

The v2.1.7 tools are backward compatible with v2.1.* BUT not backward compatible with previous versions (v2.0.*). The incompatibility is internal to the ODK-X tools, all external files such as XLSX forms, JavaScript/HTML, and server interfaces are unaffected. Most users should experience a smooth upgrade.

This is a maintenance release meaning that many libraries have been updated. We have tried to test for incompatibilities, but we may not have found them all. Please report any problems here.

Detailed documentation about the ODK-X Tool Suite can be found at:
