+
+We’re proud to announce the release of **version 2.0** of FixMyStreet.
+
+This version contains a wide array of new features, including HTML email and
+multiple state/category filtering, a new admin user system with graduated
+permissions, and various bugfixes and development improvements.
+
+Over the next few days and weeks, we will be writing a series of blog posts,
+going into details about a number of the changes, which I hope will be of
+interest. But before then, do [set up the code](/overview/) or update your
+installation, and [ask us questions](/community/) :)
+
+## New front end features
+
+* <img src="/assets/posts/html-email-example.png" alt="" class="r">
+**HTML email:**
+There is now the option for all emails sent by FixMyStreet to be HTML formatted
+where previously they were plain text only. This includes confirmation and
+questionnaire emails to the user, and report emails to the public body. These
+emails include any image added to the report, plus a small static map of the
+problem's location.
+<br style="clear:both">
+
+* <img src="/assets/posts/multi-select.png" alt="" class="r">
+**State/category filtering and sorting of list pages:**
+When viewing a list of reports, you can now filter and sort them in pretty
+much any way you choose, including sorting by most- or least-recently updated,
+newest or oldest, or most commented. You can also select multiple categories
+or states (e.g. "fixed").
+<br style="clear:both">
+
+* <img src="/assets/posts/area-highlighting-after.jpeg" alt="" class="r">
+**Pretty area highlighting on body pages:**
+The highlighting of areas on a body page has been inverted, so that the
+unimportant parts of the map are shaded and you can interact more easily with
+reports on the page.
+<br style="clear:both">
+
+* **Users can now update their own email address**
+This was a frequent request from users and we're glad to report that they can
+now do it themselves on their account page.
+
+* <img src="/assets/posts/report-selected.png" alt="" class="r">
+**Performance improvements:**
+When looking at reports from a list page, the other report pins stay visible so
+that it is easier to switch between them. The report itself is being pulled in
+behind the scenes, meaning the whole page does not need to reload. The map no
+longer extends underneath the sidebar and header, which makes things easier,
+and a scroll wheel can now zoom the map in and out.
+<br style="clear:both">
+
+* <div class="r" style="height:280px;overflow:auto"><img src="/assets/posts/new-reporting-form.png" alt=""></div>
+**Making privacy options clearer:**
+The reporting form has been separated into public and private sections, to make
+it clearer which parts of what you provide will be made visible on the site.
+
+    **Showing the relevant recipient:** If you live in an area where there's
+more than one body, the category you pick normally dictates which body we send
+your report to. Now, when you select the category we update the name of the
+body given at the top of the report page, if we know that the report will be
+sent there.
+<br style="clear:both">
+
+## New admin user system
+
+Admin users can now use the same log-in right across the site - whether they're
+making a report like a standard user, or logging in to make edits and moderate
+the site.
+
+In the past, the distinction between admin and other users was black and white.
+As an admin user, you had access to every part of the site, but users can now be
+given individual permissions for various layers of access. These include:
+
+* **Proxy users** This layer grants the ability to create a report or update on
+  behalf of a body, or as another user. We envisage this being useful in a
+  body's contact centre, where they receive a report over a phone and enter it
+  into FixMyStreet as that user;
+* **Report editors** Giving the power to edit a report's category, state, or
+  location. If the admin user changes the category, and that change means that
+  a different body is now responsible for the report, it will be re-sent;
+* **List makers**, who can compile their own shortlist of reports they wish to
+  go and inspect. This may be useful for a contractor or team who wishes to
+  compile the day's tasks;
+* **Quick responders** These users have access to response templates, allowing them
+  to edit and publish templated updates;
+* **Prioritisers** These users may set different priorities on reports;
+* **Trusted users** A simple reputation system, which e.g. potentially lets
+  reports from trusted users be actioned more quickly.
+
+The admin report edit form has also been greatly improved, including a map
+to update a report's location (and re-sending the report if the body changes),
+and much tidier layout.
+
+## Bugfixes and development changes
+
+Bugfixes include updating the top-level domain (TLD) list for email validation,
+hiding authorities which don't exist any more on the `/reports` page, and
+fixing the previously-broken photo preview display after form submission. We
+have dropped support for Internet Explorer 6.
+
+If you're a re-user of the codebase, there are a number of changes that will
+hopefully help you out. Geocoder results won't be cached in development, the
+`UPLOAD_DIR` and `GEO_CACHE` variables are now relative to the project root,
+we've added a server-side MapIt proxy, and you can add your own fields to the
+contact form. Open311 support has been tidied up and improved. If you run the
+tests, you can now run the test suite multiple times simultaneously, and the
+tests have been sped up quite a bit.
+
+Plus quite a few other things; as always, see the full list of changes
+[over on GitHub](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/releases).
