Core Forms 4.2.0-beta8

Pre-release. Builds on v4.2.0-beta7.

What changed

Rewrote the Analytics + Revisions tabs to use standard WordPress admin chrome instead of custom card panels. They now look at home in the WP admin alongside the rest of the post-edit screens.

Native patterns now used

  • `.postbox` / `.postbox-header` / `.hndle` / `.inside` containers — the same primitives WP uses for dashboard widgets and post-edit metaboxes.
  • `.wp-list-table widefat striped` for the field-interactions, top-sources, and revisions history tables.
  • `.tablenav top` for the analytics date-range toolbar.
  • `.row-actions` (View diff | Restore) on revision rows, mirroring the Posts list pattern.
  • `.notice notice-info inline` / `.notice notice-warning inline` for empty states.
  • `.column-primary` + `data-colname` on revision rows for native responsive behavior.
  • Native `.button` / `.button-primary` for date-range presets.

Plugin polish kept

Only the bits that genuinely have no native equivalent: - Severity-tinted left-bar recommendations (a list of typed alerts has no built-in WP component). - The daily-activity SVG line chart. - A small "Live" pill badge on the current-version revision row.

No more rounded custom panels, no oversized stat numbers, no plugin-flavored colors. The tabs blend with the rest of WP admin.

Deployed and verified
