Description of changes

… for all users

1. You should be able to select the Korean language for browsing the Tasking Manager.
2. The "What is new" page has been removed.
3. Users that haven't added an email address can no longer map nor validate until they add their email address.
4. Depending on the level of experience users now have a coloured reward icon and motivating messages on the front page and user profile to continue mapping and validating.
5. Advanced users and validators can inspect tasks in OSMCha by clicking on the button "View in OSMCha" in the advanced task information area.
6. When the "expert mode" in a user's profile has been activated, users can hover over tasks' time information to view it in full detail and clicking on it copies it to the clipboard.
7. Percentages of completeness, mapped, invalidated and bad imagery tasks on projects should be accurate and consistent.

… for project managers

1. Projects can only be edited by the project owner and admins. Now, the project ownership can be transferred to another user with project manager role. This can be done by editing a projects and choose the "Actions" tab.
2. You can enforce random task selection for a project. The functionality is found when editing a project under the "Settings" tab and applies to all users but not admins and project managers.
3. Validators in expert mode can classify tasks and report mapping issues based on categories, which admins and project managers can define for the whole instance - see "Manage issue" in the main drop down menu.

Description of changes

… for all users

1. The message inbox got extended with many new filtering and sorting options. Please review and try to receive messages, that will contain more filtering options than the ones that are already in the system. You should also be able to delete messages from the page you are reading the message.
2. We present a warning symbol now next to the user name, when there is no email address given. This way we want to encourage users to add their email addresses to the TM and they will be able to receive email notifications.
3. The activity stream in project’s Activities and Stats was broken and should now work as intended.
4. After an action on a single task was performed (like marking it valid, etc.) the selection to the tasks should be maintained instead of reset.
5. After marking a tasks with "bad imagery", now the action to invalidate the task is allowed.
6. We applied some changes to the refreshing of a single project page and the notification with new messages, please have a look whether everything works smooth.

… for project managers

1. Project creators and managers can now select certain editors for mapping and validation steps from the project’s settings page. Only these should be editor options when clicking the button to map or validate.
2. The project fields for organisations and mapping type should now be mandatory.
3. And we added another option in the project’s permission page, that allows to restrict validation to intermediate and advanced users.
4. You should now be able to split tasks that are having all kind of geometry.
5. The overpass view of contributions by users was broken and should now be working again.
