 5.13 Form Changes 
 
+The following form changes were made in 6.8:
+
+All forms types now use inheritance to build List type forms.  This is
+what the class hierarchy looks like:
+
+List
+	CheckList
+	RadioList
+	HiddenList
+	SelectList
+		Group
+		LdapLink
+	SelectBox
+		ComboBox
+		ContentType
+		DatabaseLink
+		FilterContent
+		Template
+		TimeZone
+		WhatNext
+
+The new SelectBox class behaves exactly like a SelectList but only supports single
+select instead of multiple select and defaults to being 1 character high.  By
+default, all SelectLists are not 5 characters high.  The size setting can
+be used to override the defaults in all List type forms.
+
+All List type forms now also have a sortByValue property which defaults
+to 0 (off).  This made automatic testing of the Forms easy.
+
+getName is now in the Form::Control base class.  It retreives whatever
+is stored in the formName field of the definition field structure.
