In the backend, moderators' lives are getting a bit easier now that user alert bounces are handled automatically. There's also now some spam protection in the form of reCaptchas (only for users coming from abroad). Finally, the software performs around 30% faster on [WhatDoTheyKnow](http://www.whatdotheyknow.com), thanks to new caching settings and a better backend storage system for emails. +There have been lots of small improvements to the user interface, such as the beginnings of a [user-friendly advanced search](http://demo.alaveteli.org/en/search), and a better way for the user to decide who followup messages should go to.

On the development front, we have adopted the [git flow model](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) for managing branches and releases using git, which seems to be going quite well. We are trying to ensure all commits have associated issues in the issue tracker, which means we can use it as a fairly reliable change log for the software. |
