# Orbeon Forms 2023.1.6

**Sunday, December 15, 2024**

Today we released Orbeon Forms 2023.1.6 PE! This maintenance release contains bug-fixes and new features and is recommended for all users of:

* [Orbeon Forms 2023.1.5 PE](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2023.1.5.md)

* [Orbeon Forms 2023.1.2 PE](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2023.1.2.md)
* [Orbeon Forms 2023.1.2 PE](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2023.1.2.md)
* [Orbeon Forms 2023.1.1 PE](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2023.1.1.md)
* [Orbeon Forms 2023.1 PE](/release-notes/orbeon-forms-2023.1.md)

## Compatibility notes

You need to make sure that your main Orbeon Forms configuration file, `properties-local.xml`, features `xmlns:fr` and `xmlns:xxf` attributes at the top. Your existing file might start with:

```xml
<properties
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors"
>
    ... content of the configuration file here ...
```

Make sure to include the `xmlns:fr` and `xmlns:xxf` attributes as well, for example:

```xml
<properties
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors"
    xmlns:fr="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/form-runner"
    xmlns:xxf="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xforms"
>
    ... content of the configuration file here ...
```

Failing to have these configuration attributes might prevent Orbeon Forms from starting. These attributes are present on the template file, `properties-local.xml.template`, provided with Orbeon Forms.
