Beta2 now includes a separation of the field base configuration and the field instance (#1064472: separate fields from field instances). Any feature that was recreated from an earlier release should automatically select the new field base & instance versions for what was previously selected in the older feature, but this doesn't happen, instead the user has to manually go through and find the components again.

FYI when recreating an entity bundle that had fields attached, e.g. a content type, it will automatically select all of the fields (if the auto-select components option is enabled), but when recreating a feature that does not re-select fields if the entity bundle itself is not exported, e.g. user fields.

Thanks for that explanation Damien. We had most features re-exporting and correctly selecting fields but a couple were not. I will look into your suggestion now to see if this is the case.

Same issue. Ran into the fields not converting for entityforms and field collections.

features[field][] = entityform-contact_us-field_address
features[field][] = entityform-contact_us-field_contact_organization
features[field][] = entityform-contact_us-field_contact_target
features[field][] = entityform-contact_us-field_email
features[field][] = entityform-contact_us-field_first_name
features[field][] = entityform-contact_us-field_last_name
features[field][] = entityform-contact_us-field_phone
features[field][] = entityform-contact_us-field_phone_work
features[field][] = field_collection_item-field_contact_email-field_contact_target
features[field][] = field_collection_item-field_contact_email-field_email

Hefox has a duplicate issue (#2000238: Convert 'field' to 'field_instance' on features-update (fu)) with a patch, so we'll close this one.
