Hi, i've just finished quite a large cocoon site using 2.1.7 with Forms V3. We choose this version for two reasons:
1. At the time i couldnt find much info on the different versions or why they were there so assumed V3 meant it was more mature and the latest. 2. showForm() in V3 offers the ability to send viewData and declare a function for execution after the form has been shown each time. V2 allows a function but no viewData and V1 allows viewData but no function (i think). We therefore felt V3 had a richer, more flexible JS API and we thought we were going to need the function and viewData for our project. Hope this helps.
