February 10, 2026

• NEW: Preliminary support for using Memberclicks for SSO authentication.

February 5, 2026

• CHANGE: Changed the change email address flow, so that you can still log in using your old email address until the new email address has been confirmed. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40314

February 4, 2026

• BUGFIX: We now prevent the case where, if you have two windows open editing the same draft, one window could overwrite the other's changes.

February 3, 2026

• CHANGE: The Analytics page now allows arbitrary date range selection, instead of just the last 30 days.
• BUGFIX: The Top Hashtags display in the Analytics page would miss some hashtags. This fix is forward-looking. New messages will have their hashtags tracked correctly.

February 2, 2026

• CHANGE: The Analytics page is now accessible to all moderators, not just moderators that have the billing permission.

January 30, 2026

• CHANGE: Updated the list of attachment extensions that we do not allow in emails, based on the list of attachment extensions that Gmail doesn't accept. The complete list is: .ade, .adp, .apk, .appx, .appxbundle, .bat, .cab, .chm, .cmd, .com, .cpl, .diagcab, .diagcfg, .diagpkg, .dll, .dmg, .ex, .ex_, .exe, .hta, .img, .ins, .iso, .isp, .jar, .jnlp, .js, .jse, .lib, .lnk, .mde, .mjs, .msc, .msi, .msix, .msixbundle, .msp, .mst, .nsh, .pif, .ps1, .scr, .sct, .shb, .sys, .vb, .vbe, .vbs, .vhd, .vxd, .wsc, .wsf, .wsh, .xll. These are also checked inside compressed archives (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz, .rar).
• NEW: Photo albums can now have sub-albums.
• BUGFIX: Deleted events still were represented in ICS feed files, but with STATUS:CANCELLED. This did not cause them to be removed from subscribing calendars. Now we don't include deleted events in ICS feeds.

January 23, 2026

• BUGFIX: In some instances, it appeared that a user was able to edit a locked event. When they tried to do so, the system prevented it, but it was still confusing.

January 15, 2026

• CHANGE: On the group promote page, removed Twitter and Facebook and added Bluesky and LinkedIn.
• CHANGE: Added wiki search to the /Ask feature.
• BUGFIX: Downloading past members isn't currently supported, so I've removed the Download button when viewing past members. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40230
• BUGFIX: Ensure the Unfollow button is displayed after replying to a message, when your subscription is to Follow Only + Auto Follow Replies. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40129

January 9, 2026

• NEW: Added 'Send as Special Notice' checkbox when composing replies, for mods/owners.
• BUGFIX: When adding/removing a member data image or database image, we would sometimes mix up which bucket to track the space used by it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40125

January 8, 2026

• CHANGE: Remove photo album description from admin email notifications. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40172
• CHANGE: Changed Manage Chats button to Manage Chat Members. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40173
• CHANGE: Changed digest and summary From lines from the group email address to instead be the group name plus "Digest" or "Summary". https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40183

January 5, 2026

• BUGFIX: In some instances of groups with lots of files or photos, the export group function would time out.
