## What's new

- **`Recommendation rationale` and `Amount requested`.** The register has two new columns. A long
  rationale shows its first three lines, and `Show more` opens the rest. Both are in the on-screen
  export as well. See [The decision register](/administrator/decisions/decision-register).
- **`Recommender` on by default.** The register now says who recommended each decision, in its own
  column beside `Recommendation`. You can still hide it with the column picker.
- **An export in your columns.** `Export CSV` and `Export XLSX` now hold the columns you have on
  screen, not a fixed list. Tick `Probity columns` for the fuller probity set.
- **A mark on a recommendation that moved.** A recommendation recorded or changed after its decision
  went out now says `Recorded or changed after the Decision was sent`, on the screen and in the
  exports. The decision record states the recommendation once and names the send it came after:
  `Recorded or changed after the Decision sent` and that decision's sent time in UTC, to the second,
  so a revoked decision and its resend are told apart.
- **A round's decision record from the register.** Filter the register to one grant round and select
  `Decision record` beside `Export XLSX`. The record's `Recommendation` section now states the
  recommendation, who recorded it, why, and the audit entry behind it. See
  [The decision record](/administrator/decisions/decision-record).
- **A fix.** The register no longer fails to open when a decision has a recommendation and the
  `Recommender` column is off.
