Hey folks!
We just released another beta version of Ushahidi v3.
A sneak peek into some of the things to expect from this release:-
New features like:-
Posts are now shown split into steps when creating and editing a post. These steps define the workflow of a post. You can move back and forward between steps, and mark each step as complete.
Data sources such as SMS can now be configured through Settings.
Improvements such as:-
We now have a cleaner configuration for developer environments using a .env file
Fast client development builds
The next release is set to have creation, editing & viewing of saved searches, as well as collections of posts.
Have a look at our release notes and blog post announcement for more details on changes in this release. Take it out for a spin on our demo site, but keep in mind that this is not ready for production, but we continue to get closer.
