This may not affect anyone else but to me it is important.
I am using the Basic Browse and Form (1) example to show the differences.
Please note the 2 attached images.
In 4.49 when a form is converted to wizard the save button is disabled until the last tab and then it is enabled. There is no finish button. The user cannot save until he has at least moved through each hidden tab.
In 5_PR14  there is now a cancel and next button under the form but the save button is enabled and there is another cancel button next to the save button.
Moving to the last tab  a finish button appears but clicking the finish button does not save the information but it does close the form. Only the save button actually saves the amended values.
The save button works at any point.

My opinion:
Either the Save button or Finish button should not be there
There should only be 1 cancel button
The Save button should be disabled until the last Tab, or if possible an indicator on the Form to say something like 'enable Save button when tab no 2 is displayed' would be useful if later tabs are not significant.
