This was the result of a lot of work to simplify the whole +process, and we’ve written more about it on the +[mySociety blog](https://www.mysociety.org/2018/12/20/open-sesame-simpler-log-in-forms-on-fixmystreet/). + +Other front end improvements range from a more prominent display of "state" on +report page, making sure you don’t need two taps on a report list entry on a +touchscreen, and clearer relocation options while you’re reporting a problem. + +Moderation has had some work done – it can now potentially edit a report’s +category, should you wish it to do so; it stores more of a report’s original +data upon moderation, and also now stores all moderation history, making that +visible in the report/update admin interface. + +Bugfixes include one reported by FixaMinGata (back in early 2017!) about better +map zoom behaviour when clicking on pins and going back; not escaping HTML +entities in report titles pulled in by Ajax; and show missing reopening/fixed +questionnaire responses when tey lacked their own separate update. We also +fixed some issues with our Open311 contact group handling, and improved the +validation of fetched reports timestamps. + +We now strip Exif data on uploaded photos, and have added a new config +variable, `SYMLINK_FULL_SIZE`, that can be used to symlink your full size +photos out of the photo cache rather than copy them, if your static files are +being served by your web server. + +[Full changelog](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/releases/tag/v2.5) + +## Upgrading + +Due to the sign-in and banner changes, this release changes a number of the +base templates. If you have overridden any related templates in your cobrand +and not fed those changes upstream, you may need to make adjustments to match; +please use our `bin/cobrand-checks` script to help make comparisons between +your changes. |
