Updates to the Groups.io service.
February 12, 2024
- BUGFIX: A moderator with only the Remove Members permission was not actually able to remove a member from the /member page.
February 9, 2024
- CHANGE: Ensure that all group emails have a proper To header line, meaning we add one if it's missing, and we change it to the group email address if it doesn't already contain a proper email address (ie 'undisclosed recipients').
February 8, 2024
- SYSADMIN: Started sending some group emails through new email server mail03.groups.io, and began warming up mail04.groups.io.
February 7, 2024
- TEST VERSION BUGFIX: Ensure that we remove dangerous HTML from group descriptions in the /groups page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/overview_page_delivery/104183956?p=,,,50,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,50,2,0,104183956,previd%3D9223372036854775807,nextid%3D1705366629953625653&previd=9223372036854775807&nextid=1705366629953625653
- BUGFIX: Don't send out a summary if it's blank. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/no_messages_in_beta_group/104220287?p=,,,50,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,50,2,0,104220287,previd%3D9223372036854775807,nextid%3D1705366629953625653&previd=9223372036854775807&nextid=1705366629953625653
- TEST VERSION BUGFIX: Repeat summaries did not work on the add event page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/37390
- BUGFIX: Don't send event notifications to groups that have been downgraded to free and that don't have access to the calendar.
February 6, 2024
- NEW: Group moderators and the person that starts a chat can now remove people from a chat, on the /chats page.
February 5, 2024
- NEW: The person who starts a chat now has the ability to delete chat messages (group owners already have that ability).
February 2, 2024
- BUGFIX: If a member subscribed via email to a subgroup and didn't already have a parent group subscription, the member is automatically subscribed to the parent group. But the notification that they had subscribed to the parent group was sent out indicating that they had subscribed to the subgroup. That meant most mods got two exactly the same notifications.
- BUGFIX: Hopefully fixed an issue where for some people, the unread count badge on the app icon would get 'stuck' and never disappear.

- BUGFIX: The algorithm for generating a Topic summary when editing an existing message was not the same as the algorithm for generating a Topic summary of a new Topic, and generated worse summaries when dealing with some types of messages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/36954
