  over 300 + commits since the last release
  There is a lot more under the hood changes, which are not listed here, but you can see them in the commit log.

Backend rewrite was a lot of work, but now it is finally done, and it is much more user-friendly. Many new components/APIs will be introduced in the future. So, if you are a developer, that'll make you happy. It was a marathon job for the last two to three months, and I am very happy with the result. I hope you will enjoy it.

In the new version of the site, the Show e-mail checkbox is always enabled, it cannot be turned off even by the administrator.
When you delete a category in the site admin area, a redirect to the console occurs and this is very inconvenient.
Correct it please.

@navjottomer There is indeed some issue in Admin EDIT ads, the Show email is Checked (active) and it should be off.

@buninsan Do you allow NOT registered (logged in) users to post? In that case i see the checkbox.
