-# rails-3-develop
+# Version 0.17
## Highlighted features
+* There is some initial support for making a request to multiple
+ authorities at once.
* There is a new form for users to request that a new authority should
be added, or to request an update to the contact email used for an
authority. Site admins are emailed about these requests, and can
resolve them from the admin interface.
+* For attachments where we rely on Google Document Viewer to display the
+ HTML version, link to the HTTPS version where the Alaveteli site is
+ served over HTTPS to avoid mixed content warnings and non display in
+ some browsers (Matthew Somerville).
+* The 'view requests' page now has some fragment caching backed by
+ memcached to speed up serving commonly used lists of requests - e.g
+ all successful requests. Like the caching introduced in release 0.16,
+ this is controlled by the `CACHE_FRAGMENTS` parameter in the config
+ file and will be on by default.
+* A user's annotations can now be seen on their admin page (Andrew
+ Black)
+* Better detection of the quoted text of a previous email in the HTML
+ parts of responses.
+* Fixed bugs in the profile photos (György Peng), calendar translations
+ (Mark Longair), the use of external utilities (Ian Chard), the
+ internal admin authority locale handling (Mark Longair), badly formed
+ attachment handling (Rowan Crawford).
## Upgrade notes
+* To use the batch request functionality, set the `ALLOW_BATCH_REQUESTS`
+ parameter to `true` in your config file. Once this is done, and the
+ install has been restarted, any user for whom 'Can make batch
+ requests' is checked in the admin interface should see a new link on
+ the 'Select an authority' page that allows them to make a batch
+ request.
* If your theme overrides the help/requesting template, you should
update the link in the section on requesting new authorities so the
link points to `<%= new_change_request_path %>` instead of `<%=
help_contact_path %>`.
+* If your site runs over HTTPS, some cached attachments may still
+ contain links to Google Document Viewer with 'http', not 'https'. You
+ can clear the cached attachments after upgrade, and they will be
+ created with links that use the correct protocol.
+* This release includes an update to the commonlib submodule - you
+ should be warned about this when running rails-post-deploy.
