+
+First of all, I hope you are all safe wherever you may be. We held a couple of
+FixMyStreet user groups recently for body users of FixMyStreet in the UK, and
+someone from a large body said that their FixMyStreet installation was proving
+really useful in these times, as they were making far fewer internal reports
+due to the UK lockdown.
+
+Admist all this, we continue to develop the software, and today are releasing
+**version 3.0.1**, a bugfix release with a couple of new features.
+
+### Admin improvements
+
+You can now provide an automatic initial update on reports made in a particular
+category to a particular body, perhaps to provide information on timings or
+similar. Make sure the body has a user to associate comments with, and then add
+a response template in the Open state with auto-response checked, restricted to
+a list of categories if you wish. After that, the template will be used to
+provide an initial update on new reports made.
+
+We have also added "staff-only" categories, which are categories that staff
+users can see but normal users cannot. One council is using this to provide
+emergency categories that their contact centre staff can use to make reports
+after manual triage.
+
+The dashboard export and report search should now be quicker, after some
+investigation that area. We've also moved the overall stats off the index page
+to the stats page, so the index page loads more quickly.
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+Thanks to those of you letting us know about bugs or problems. Those we have
+fixed include an incorrect To header on emails about inactive accounts, a
+couple of issues with the front page recent reports list showing different
+results depending on whether the cache was used or not, and a double escape in
+the Google Maps URL.
+
+Others we have fixed include maintaining the category group on pin move with
+same category in multiple groups, and fixing sorting by most commented on
+the `/around` map view.
+
+### Development improvements
+
+As well as the cron scripts, this release now includes a d&aelig;mon that you
+can use to send reports and updates. Using the d&aelig;mon will mean reports
+and updates are sent almost immediately after they are confirmed, but will
+require a bit more setup, as you'll need to set it up as a d&aelig;mon running
+all the time in your system. We've provided an example config file for systemd
+to hopefully help with that. If you do run the d&aelig;mon, be sure to remove
+the lines of your crontab that send reports and updates :)
+
+Alongside that, `send-reports` no longer prints out failures in verbose mode,
+there is a separate `send-reports-failure-summary` script to do that. Also the
+fetch-comments and fetch-reports scripts have been consolidated into one
+`fetch` script, which can also now parallelize fetching.
+
+### Upgrading
+
+A full list of changes can be seen in the
+[changelog](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/releases/tag/v3.0.1) as usual.
