+Today we're releasing **version 1.2** of the FixMyStreet platform. The
+[AMI](/install/ami/) has been updated and the [install
+script](/install/install-script/) will automatically now install this version.
+
+The main items in this release are things prompted by requests on [our mailing
+list](/community/) :-)
+
+* Postfix is now installed as part of the install script, or in the AMI. This
+  means email should work out of the box. For anyone already installed, you can
+  run the commands in [the GitHub ticket](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/issues/412).
+
+* A new configuration option `MAPIT_ID_WHITELIST` has been added, to restrict
+  usage to the IDs specified, if given. This means Claudio, who emailed last
+  week, could have `[ 239540 ]` as his `MAPIT_ID_WHITELIST`, and then reports
+  could only be made within the Marche region of Italy. We already use this new
+  option ourselves on https://www.zueriwieneu.ch/ where before it was
+  hard-coded in the code.
+
+* Other things include being able to zoom in further on OSM maps, and HTML
+  pages are now being gzipped.
+
+Lastly, as you can see this site has had a redesign to make it more friendly,
+and we've added some more documentation about e.g. updating an AMI instance to
+a newer version. If there's anything unclear, please do [ask on the mailing
+list](/community/) or submit an issue or pull request on GitHub.
