+
+Incremental release resolving the final outstanding tasks in the Elasticsearch 2 upgrade.
+
+We have registered a new website [http://pelias.io](http://pelias.io) which has information about the milstones we have planned for the current quarter.
+
+* Elasticsearch 2+ does not support co-ordinate wrapping as it did prior to the 2 release. Some front-ends allow users to 'wrap' around the globe. Floats outside of the normal -90/+90 -180/+180 geographic coordinate ranges cause Elasticsearch to error. We added a function to the API which [unwraps these coordinates](https://github.com/pelias/api/pull/608); providing better compatibility with these tools.
+- We added `borough` as a [possible layer for Geonames](https://github.com/pelias/api/pull/612)
+- Since the beginning of the project the Elasticsearch `_index` name has always been hard-coded as 'pelias', the [index names configurable PRs](https://github.com/pelias/config/pull/30) allow this behaviour to be adjusted in your individual pelias config files.
+- We [removed the focus.viewport API](https://github.com/pelias/api/pull/620) which was undocumented and never used outside of test suites.

 ## 2 August 2016
 
 Another bigger than usual release, we had some ops related challenges to resolve after the update to Elasticsearch 2, as well as some data issues, but we also have some great improvements in store!

 * `gid` values have been added for each parent in the admin hierarchies of results.
 * `/autocomplete` now allows filtering by `sources` and `layers`.
 * Fixed a bug that allowed `/autocomplete` to accept the `size` parameter. The default and only size of `/autocomplete` results is now `10`, as originally intended.
