BookStack v0.22 is here with a much requested homepage option in addition to changes to the drawing system and improvements. Let's get into it:

### Books Homepage Option
Setting the '/books' view as the homepage was the most-requested issue we had so [@Abijeet](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/pull/830) went ahead and built this in as a new setting. Just like the '/books' view a grid or list layout can be selected. This homepage view will still differ slightly in comparison to the '/books' page since the sidebar items will remain more focused on the user's activity rather than additional categories of books. The new setting can be found in the 'App Settings' section of BookStack under 'Application Homepage' as a toggle switch.
### Sidebar Design Changes
The sidebar when viewing pages was beginning to get a little crowded, Especially when the page had both tags assigned and permissions set. This has now been cleaned up to be much more compact with new tag styling. The permissions are now shown in a more efficient manner within the details panel. The difference in space-efficiency can be seen the comparison below:

### Ubuntu 18.04 Install Script
With the recent release of Ubuntu LTS 18.04, Bionic Beaver, A new install script has been put together. Details of the script and how to run it [can be found here](/docs/admin/installation/#ubuntu-1804).
In comparison to the Ubuntu 16.04 script, This version now installs PHP-7.2 instead of PHP-7.0 and Apache2 is used instead of Nginx. The change to apache was done in the hopes of ensuring that BookStack plays nicer with other web-based packages such as phpMyAdmin and Let’s Encrypt.
### Drawing Changes
Previously when updating a drawing the source file would be completely overwritten. In addition, there was no way to delete a drawing in the system.
This has now been changed so that new images are created upon updating instead of being overwritten. This ensures that drawing changes are now versioned correctly alongside page updates.
This change does mean that more image files will be created and stored by BookStack. For one-off drawing deletions, or re-naming, you can now access a 'Drawing Manager' from the drawing-icon dropdown in the WYSIWYG editor or by shift-clicking the 'Insert Drawing' action in the markdown editor. To handle bulk image cleanup a new action has been added in the new 'Maintenance' area:
### Maintenance Area
A new maintenance area has been added to sit alongside settings. This area will expand to hold all common operations an admin might want to perform. Currently it only includes the ability to clean-up images:
![BookStack Maintenance Area](/images/2018/05/maintenance.png)
The clean-up images action provides a way to remove old, unused images from the system. It will search for uploaded gallery images and drawings that cannot be found within page content. It will also search within page revisions although you have the ability to ignore them to clean even more images.
### Language Support
This release includes updates to the German, Spanish and Swedish translations thanks respectively to [@vriic](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/pull/851), [@moucho](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/pull/846), [@marcusforsberg](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/pull/802).

### Next Steps
For the next release I'll have another think about the best way to [remove Composer as a dependency](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/161) for installs and updates. Ideally I want to ensure the process is as simple as possible while remaining secure. Additionally I may start to have a proper think about the best solution for [adding another level to the organisation hierarchy](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/95) as that's currently highly-requested.
