Updates are now a lot easier. +* An admin can now close an authority change request without sending an email to the person who requested it. Good for handling spammy requests! +* CSV Import fields for authorities are now configurable. This is useful for themes that add additional attributes to authorities. + +As for general improvements, there are plenty of those, too. For example: + +* We added a fix to ensure attachments are rendered for emails sent with Apple Mail +* We removed a confusing authority preview from the process of choosing who to write to. Clicking an authority now goes straight to the authority page. +* We added filtering by request status to the requests displayed on the user profile page. +* There's now a Health Check page, so you can tell if everything seems to be running smoothly. +* Sensible default values have been added to some configuration parameters. + + +You can see the full list of highlights and upgrade notes in the [changelog](https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/blob/rails-3-develop/doc/CHANGES.md). + +Thanks againt to everyone who's [contributed](https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/graphs/contributors)! |
