[PEAR] New versions of Formbuilder

| Hi PEARs,
I have some sites using FormBuilder 0.11.1, since there are some new
versions, I must know if upgrading would result in broken scripts, and
which features/bugfixes must I take into serious consideration.
Thanks.

Sorry for the auto-reply. The above applies to DB_DataObject and
Structures_Datagrid updates from last days of January (my las update,
more or less).

I'm not sure I understand this. You asked about FormBuilder and are
now asking about DG and DO. DataGrid isn't related to FormBuilder at
all (unless you're using my Frontend). DataObject had some crippling
bugs in the last few releases if you were using mysql and
quote_identifiers, but they've been addressed (to my knowledge).

My english is the worst. I haven't updated FB, DO and DG since about
two months ago. The question was if any upgrade of them would ruin my
scripts.
Thank you.

PEAR packages always try to avoid Backwards Compatibility (BC) breaks,
meaning that any upgrades should not break scripts. Alpha and beta
packages are, however, allowed to break BC, although beta packages
need a good reason to do it.
The upshot of this is that if you upgrade a stable package it should
never break your scripts. It happens, but when it does you can submit
a bug report and the package is usually fixed within a few days (or
even hours). For an example, look at all of the recent DB_DataObject
releases :-).
Most beta packages also keep BC pretty well.
If you're worried check the changelogs of the packages you're
upgrading. Any BC breaking changes should be listed (if they aren't
PEAR-QA should be notified).
And you can always check in a development setting to make sure the
upgrades work. :-)
