Grab it from the [github master branch](https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/) and try it out. The most obvious new feature is a glossy new administrative interface, based on work started at AlaveteliCon by [@wombleton](https://twitter.com/#%21/wombleton). If you are upgrading, be sure to read the upgrade notes in [CHANGES.md](https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/blob/master/doc/CHANGES.md), and the [new section in the install docs](/docs/installing) about [upgrading Alaveteli](/docs/running/upgrading/). Drop a note to the [alaveteli-dev mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/alaveteli-dev) if you need any help with your upgrade. - -[A full list of changes](https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/issues?milestone=13&state=closed) is on Github. Interesting features and bugfixes include: - - - - - * Most Ruby dependencies are now handled by Bundler (thanks [@mckinneyjames](https://twitter.com/#!/mckinneyjames)!) - - - * Support for invalidating accelerator cache -- this makes it much less likely, when using Varnish, that users will be presented with stale content. Fixes [issue #436](https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/issues/436) - - - * Adding a `GA_CODE` to `general.yml` will cause the relevant Google Analytics code to be added to your rendered pages - - - * It is now possible to have more than one theme installed. The behaviour of multiple themes is now layered in the reverse order they're listed in the config file. See the variable `THEME_URLS` in `general.yml-example` for an example. - - - * A new, experimental theme for the administrative interface. It's currently packaged as a standalone theme, but will be merged into the core once it's been tested and iterated in production a few times. Thanks to [@wombleton](https://twitter.com/#!/wombleton) for kicking this off! - - - * Alert subscriptions are now referred to as "following" a request (or group of requests) throughout the UI. When a user "follows" a request, updates regarding that request are posted on a new "wall" page. Now they have a wall, users can opt not to receive alerts by email. - - - * New features to [support fast post-moderation of bad requests](/2012/06/20/new-feature-easier-request-moderation/): a button for users to report potentially unsuitable requests, and a form control in the administrative interface that hides a request and sends the user an email explaining why. - - - * A bug which prevented locales containing underscores (e.g. `en_GB`) was fixed ([issue #503](https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/issues/503)) - - - * Error pages are now presented with styling from themes - - -There are some blog posts about some of the new features here: - - - * [The new admin theme](/development/2012/06/20/the-new-bootstrap-admin-theme/) - - - * [The request moderation features](/2012/06/20/new-feature-easier-request-moderation/) - - - * ["Following" and the "wall"](/2012/06/20/new-feature-following-and-the-wall/) - - - * [Bundler](/2012/06/20/new-for-developers-bundler-support/) - - |
