+
+We’ve released **version 1.8** of FixMyStreet.
+
+The two main new features in this release are *Facebook login* – provide a
+Facebook app ID and secret in your configuration and it will smoothly fit into
+the creation and login flow – and *multiple photo support*, along with a modern
+interface for previewing and uploading photos whilst you create your report.
+
+Smaller improvements include *highlighting the pin* when you hover over an item
+in the sidebar, and vice-versa; fixing some small display bugs such as how
+updates were displayed in Your Reports and preventing a chevron being stretched
+in Firefox; improving the look of the 404 page, and making sure you can see an
+update if you got to it via an in-page link.
+
+Memory *performance* has been improved, meaning cron jobs can take up to half
+as much memory, and this release also fixes a number of small bugs, including
+an embarrassing swap of latitude and longitude in the Google geocoder, making
+sure you're signed up for updates if you used the app and were logged in, and
+better internationalisation and display of numbers.
+
+For *developers*, we've added a generic static route handler, so that adding
+new static HTML pages to your installation involves only creating a new file in
+your template directory and nothing more; improved bounce handling; and fixed
+the cobrand restriction handling on Your Reports and list pages.
+
+Plus quite a few other things; as always, see the full list of changes
+[over on GitHub](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/releases).
