February 26, 2021

• APP: Support for adding attachments/photos from the device (the new app is not yet ready for general testing).

February 25, 2021

• CHANGE: Updated the list of timezones that we use and added a list of aliased timezones, to address ICS file errors. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/invalid_entries_in_ics_file/80879222?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,80879222

February 24, 2021

• NEW: Filtering incoming messages using the Spamhaus blocklists. We're trialing the service to see if it makes much of a difference.
• BUGFIX: In ICS files, for modified instances of repeating events, we were not using a unique UID. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/invalid_entries_in_ics_file/80879222?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,80879222
• BUGFIX: In ICS files, for repeating events specified in UTC, we were not using the correct format for the DTSTART/DTEND lines. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/invalid_entries_in_ics_file/80879222?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,80879222

February 23, 2021

• BUGFIX: We were not properly escaping HTML elements in the topic summary lines in the /topics page.
• CHANGE: If you click on an Unsubscribe link that's already been used to leave a group, we now display an error message.

February 22, 2021

• INTERNAL: Work on monitoring tools to help prevent abuse of the site.
• CHANGE: If a message is emailed to a non-existent group, we no longer return a list of groups you are subscribed to in the error response. As has been pointed out, that is a security breach.
• CHANGE: We are now less forgiving of incorrectly formatted SMTP commands from incoming email servers.

February 19, 2021

• BUGFIX: Modal buttons on the edit wiki page were the incorrect colors. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/wiki_editpage_the/80748613?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,80748613
• BUGFIX: The RSS feeds for groups without titles now have the title set to the URL of the group.
• INTERNAL: Some HTML cleanup.

February 18, 2021

• BUGFIX: The Subgroups tab under Admin in the group sidebar would not display as active when clicked on.
• INTERNAL: Second pass at bundling CSS and JS files.
• BUGFIX: In some cases event times in the Feed view were not displayed in the correct timezone. Also, the user's date formatting was not observed. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/bug_event_times_in_feed_are/78664686?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,78664686

February 17, 2021

• INTERNAL: First pass at bundling CSS and JS files. This will speed up web page rendering but more importantly is needed to support the app.

February 15, 2021

• CHANGE: On the edit subscription, group member and group default subscription pages, made it so that incompatible changes to Email Delivery and Message Selection are changed immediately on the page, instead of when the changes are saved. An example: setting Email Delivery to No Email and then Message Selection to Following Only will immediately change the Email Delivery radio button to Individual Messages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/28453

February 12, 2021

• DOCS: Updates from Nina to the Owners Manual and Members Manual.
• CHANGE: On the edit subscription and group member pages, under Advanced Preferences, Auto Follow Replies has been moved under Following Only. When Following Only is not checked, both First Message Also and Auto Follow Replies are now disabled and unchecked. When Following Only is checked, Auto Follow Replies is now automatically checked. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/28442
