+
+I am happy to announce the release of **version 6.0** of FixMyStreet.
+
+Some features in this release include:
+
+* The ability to add a category filter to the reporting process, letting people search for a particular category. (This involves adding a 
+`category_filter.html` template to your cobrand, similar to the
+[one used on fixmystreet.com](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/blob/e663749a078/templates/web/fixmystreet.com/report/new/category_filter.html).)
+
+![](/assets/posts/v6-category-filter-small.png)
+
+* Improved display of the filters on map pages:
+
+![](/assets/posts/v6-map-filters-small.png)
+
+* A new geolocation button to centre the map at your location:
+
+![](/assets/posts/v6-geolocation-small.png)
+
+* Adding the report ID reference to lists of reports in emails:
+
+![](/assets/posts/v6-reference-email-small.png)
+
+* We redirect to a confirmation page when creating a report, reducing the risk of Safari creating a duplicate report
+* Cobrands can have different map display times for open/closed/fixed reports
+* All uploaded images are now converted to JPEGs
+* Users can opt out of questionnaires
+
+### Admin improvements
+
+![](/assets/posts/v6-admin-sidebar-small.png)
+
+We have improved the navigation in the admin, moving the main navigation to a sidebar.
+This is accompanied by minor display and performance improvements in various admin pages.
+
+Extra questions can now be multiple-choice using checkboxes, or a datetime picker, in addition
+to the existing options of text field, textarea, and single value. You can also
+make a phone number required for a particular category.
+
+On the dashboard, you can now filter by multiple categories, and we've fixed
+the CSV export to not ignore reports that had updates that were only
+unconfirmed or hidden.
+
+A long standing bug viewing a category when it has more than 1,000 history entries has been fixed.
+
+### Development improvement examples
+
+* FixMyStreet has been around for a long time, and implemented its own way of sorting extra data
+on a per-report or update basis. Since then, PostgreSQL has added JSON support, and we have now
+moved the database tables to store data in this standard way.
+* The site can now automatically spot a favicon.ico file present in the
+`web/cobrands/<your-cobrand>` directory, rather than having to add your own
+header template.
+* Cobrands can provide (optionally per-category) custom distances for duplicate lookups
+* The daemon will deal with waiting reports in a random order
+
+### Upgrading
+
+A full list of changes can be seen in the
+[v6.0 changelog](https://github.com/mysociety/fixmystreet/releases/tag/v6.0)
+as usual.
