Releases

Even though the YAML Form module is still under active development with regular beta releases, all existing configuration and submission data will be maintained and updated between releases. APIs can and will be changing while this module moves from beta releases to a final release candidate.

Simply put, if you install and use the YAML Form module out of the box AS-IS, you should be okay. Once you start extending forms with plugins, altering hooks, and overriding templates, you will need to read each release’s notes and assume that things will be changing.
