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.

CHANGE: On the group promote page, removed Twitter and Facebook and added Bluesky and LinkedIn.
CHANGE: Added wiki search to the /Ask feature.

CHANGE: Updated the formatting and display of the group storage elements. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40038
BUGFIX: In some instances, cancelling a single instance of a repeating event in the calendar generated a CANCEL ICS file that Outlook would use to remove all instances of the event.
