## Versions - Which version should you used?

We encourage developers to use the latest version but understand that sometimes
it is not possible to do so. Seeing as there was quite a significant change
to the markup needed with the release of GOVUK Elements 3.0. We have decided to
create two supporting versions of the form builder for those services that use
the older GOVUK Elements and Frontend toolkit or who would like to use the
latest GOVUK assets.

Since version 1, GOVUK Elements and Frontend versions have now become a dependency
to help ensure that developers use the correct GOVUK Form builder version.

For the time being the only differences between the two versions is the markup
that this gem produces. We will try and keep the methods identical between versions
but if you decide to upgrade to version 1 you should check any pages that use
Radio buttons or Checkboxes and any js/css that rely on the markup these two
elements use. Another thing you should check is if you rely on the
css class name used for errors as this has also been renamed.
