We also now resize photos +client-side before uploading, given the increase in very large images these +days. + +Admin improvements include adding an 'inactive' state to categories, so you can +prevent a category being used for new reports but still have it available in +filters, various improvements to the inspect form and the new report process +for inspectors, and an easier way for inspectors to shortlist all reports in +their view. + +Geolocation is back on the alert page, lost sometime last year, and some random +blank spaces are no longer clickable, hooray! + +Development-wise, FixMyStreet now supports Debian stretch and perl 5.24, badly +configured SMTP options should now be spotted, and we have refactored and +simplified the CSS used for header/content/navigation. This may mean you can +simplify overrides in your cobrand. If you wish to have a static front page +rather than the normal report page, that's now possible by creating an +`about/homepage.html` template in your cobrand, and cobrands can now easily +change the new report pin colour. + +The test suite now runs each file in a transaction which means it can be run in +parallel and sped up dramatically; on the other hand, on Travis we added code +coverage which slowed it down again. + +Two **backwards incompatible** changes that may require changes to your own +templates if you have customised them: + +* The `nav-wrapper-2` class has been removed. If you have a custom footer + template, replace that class with 'container'. + +* The `/reports` page now uses different generated data. If you have a custom + `reports/index.html` template and wish to keep it, you may need to call + `update-all-reports` with a `--table` argument to generate the old style + data. + +[Full changelog](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/releases/tag/v2.1) |
