   include support for ACF 5, performance boosts, and more additional data available
   for validation.
 * = 1.4 beta1 =
    * Beta support for Advanced Custom Fields 5.0 * The `$inputs` 
   variable is now available using and index of `meta_key` and returning an array
   with the values “field”, “value”, and “prev_value”. * Fix for custom “post_id”
   string value instead of integer * For ACF 5+ only * The new [‘acf/validate_value`](http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf-validate_value/)
   filter is used for better compatibility and performance. * For ACF 4 only * Compatibility
   with tabbed layouts (natively supported in ACF 5)

 * There are a some known bugs with the UI when editing validated fields, specifically
   around the PHP editor and showing/hiding other fields. I have some updates coming
   soon but as they currently only address existing fields I am not going to release
   beta 2 until new fields are working as well.
 * Feel free to discuss here, but you can also check out the code and submit patches(
   please!) for any bugs you find here [https://github.com/doublesharp/validated-field-for-acf/issues](https://github.com/doublesharp/validated-field-for-acf/issues).
   My time is pretty limited lately and any help would be welcome.

 * [@tajenli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tajenli/) – yes, I haven’t released
   the final version yet so the auto update won’t work. there are a few more bug
   fixes to validation, but i think it’s more stable than ACF5 at this point so 
   I may go ahead and push it out soon… also going on vacation for 2 weeks so if
   there is an issue then people might be out of luck for fixes until I return.
