“Visitor Groups” are now “Audiences.”
Across the CMS, “visitor groups” have been renamed to “Audiences.” You’ll see this change in product documentation, as well as across the UI for anyone on the newest version of Optimizely. Other than the name change, there should be no noticeable changes to functionality.

Optimizely Forms updates.
Forms have been improved to end the calendar year.
Automated warnings when changing names.

Form focus options.
Additionally, Optimizely forms now include a setting that allows editors to place focus on the first step of the form itself upon load of the page.
