+
+Today we have released **version 2.2** of FixMyStreet, with some new features,
+some bugfixes, and other improvements.
+
+* At long last, **body and category names can be translated** in the admin
+interface, letting you easily run sites in multiple languages without having to
+perform various amounts of custom work;
+
+* **Report states can now be edited** (and translated) in the admin interface, if
+you wish to have different options for the specific workflow of your site. 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.
