If +you want to have a closed state of "object removed", now you can; + +* Also through the admin interface you can now **add extra fields** to be + shown in the reporting form, letting you ask custom questions for your +installation without needing to edit any code or templates. + +All the above improvements were funded by [NDI](https://www.ndi.org/) as part +of their FixMyCommunity project; thanks very much to them. + +<hr> + +Staff users can now create reports on behalf of people anonymously, and have +more filters on report list pages; new configuration options allow you to limit +your site to logged-in users only, or prevent new users from using the site. + +The email alerts page has had some work to improve its clarity, and some work +has gone into improving the performance of various pages. Some deep diving into +SQL queries led to some notable cases where things could be sped up, and we +also found one place (listing nearby duplicate reports for staff users) where +the database was being queried at a radius of 1000km, rather than 1km :) + +One notable bugfix is if you logged in during the reporting process, or had a +server side error, your photo thumbnails weren't being redisplayed correctly +(though the photo itself was stored fine) due to change in the image library +we use – everything should now be okay. + +Lastly, if you're developing on the code, we have added a debug toolbar +(similar to the Django Debug Toolbar, if you're familiar with that) which lets +you see which templates have been used, what SQL queries have been made, what +external requests, and so on. This is automatically enabled when you run the +development server. + +[Full changelog](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/releases/tag/v2.2) + |
