Hot on the tail of 4.6.2 and the Cloud announcement this week, let me introduce you to Pulse 4.7!
So many awesome things packed into this one, I tell ya 
New default theme, new tag for complex multi-page, logic-enhanced-stat-loving contact forms, button for the blog (thanks @Oliver ), a security fix for PHP Mailer and a much requested auto-responder for the contact form. That's a lot of coolness. Read more about it below.
Best of all, it's a FREE update to all 4.x license holders and really easy to update. Just replace all files on your Pulse folder (except for "content" and "template" - which contain your template files, page content, blocks and media). More on the details of the update and how to do it below.
OK, without further ado...
How to get it
- Added to your Pulse Cloud Dashboard for easy access.

-
New Just Forms Tag included in the Pulse Core. Just add
{{justforms}}to any page followed by options for form ID and form height and you can easily embed your forms e.g{{justforms:formid:height}}so{{justforms:1:300}}// Requires a Pulse Cloud subscription to make awesome forms - Gorgeous new default theme! Colourful, bright and simple - shows the power of Pulse and finally modernises the default site. Uses two alternate templates too, to show that in action
-
Standard Contact form auto responder for the
{{form}}tag - any contact form submissions will automatically receive a thank you email from the admin address in config.php. You can change the message in the language files - Blog single posts now have "back" button to return to blog top page
- Minimum PHP version now 5.6!
Fixes
- Security fix for Contact Form - latest version of PHP Mailer added
- Path bug crept in with Pulse installs in the root and galleries - all fixed up
- Blog URL moved in config.php to "Blog" so not easily missed!
- Sortable list now shows no bullets

- Template.php and contact form errors are now fixed
- Help now opens in new window
Phew! 
That's a lot of cool stuff!
Now go out there and update your Pulse sites (or your client's) for definite. You and they deserve all this excellentness.
Happy Pulsing!
