We’ve just released Alaveteli 0.19!

The highlights

This release we’ve been working on making Alaveteli easier to install.

• We’ve overhauled the manual install guide to be much more comprehensive.
• The email setup guide has updated instructions for Exim and Postfix, and adds some extra troubleshooting tips.
• We’ve improved the generators for some of the config files and added more – and better – examples for ones we can’t generate yet.
• Developers can now pick one of the supported operating systems to use for their Vagrant VM.

We’ve also made some great improvements to the framework.

• Added responsive stylesheets! We’ve made this the default, but you can configure whether they’re used or not in config/general.yml.
• Support for the Portuguese locale.
• Improved search term highlighting.
• The Public Body Stats page can now be made available to your users.
• Added a Rake task for cleaning up holding pen events (rake cleanup:holding_pen).
• Added searching of bodies by their short name.

You can see the full list of highlights and upgrade notes in the changelog.

Thanks to everyone who’s contributed!
