This is pretty much a bug fix release, and will be the last release candidate before a final 2.0 release.

What is Fabrik?

Fabrik is THE open source Joomla application builder component. Fabrik gives you the power to create forms and tables that run inside Joomla without requiring knowledge of MySQL and PHP. Then feed your data into Google Maps, Charts or an AJAX based calendar With Fabrik you can create applications that range in complexity from simple contact forms to complex applications such as a job application site or bug tracking systems.
