So to reduce that dependency, +we've moved a number of these options into the main configuration file, so that +hopefully a standard customisation might not need a Cobrand .pm file at all. + +These changes range from simple text strings that are now in templates, through +to specifying what areas from MapIt you are interested in, or what languages +the site is available in. The general.yml-example file contains information on +each option, and we've updated our [customisation documentation](/customising/) +as well. + +Also, thanks to some testing of a current installation by +[Anders](https://github.com/kagee) for FiksGataMi, we've made more incremental +improvements to the installation, including fixing a couple of tests that +shouldn't run unless your configuration is set up in a particular way, making +sure inherited cobrands use the best templates, and including the +Catalyst::Devel module so running the development server is easier. + |
