Groups.io: Changelog

INTERNAL: Changed the list of TLS cipher suites we will accept because of compatibility issues/changes at several domains.
INTERNAL: Upgraded to the latest version of the Go compiler.

CHANGE: We now turn attachments into links if they total more than 15MB in size. Also, I've improved the look of the links, and links do no require authentication for the first 5 days after they have been sent. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/39234
CHANGE: If the Date header on an email is in the future or more than days in the past, we re-write it to reflect the current time. Some email service providers block email with these dates, which they consider invalid.

BUGFIX: In the help center, links in the Glossary sidebar were not working.
BUGFIX: In the help center search, there were sometimes duplicates of results.
BUGFIX: In the help center search, links to some FAQ entries did not work.
BUGFIX: In the help center search, some searches included unrelated results.
CHANGE: Improved the formatting of the help center search results page.

CHANGE: Catch Yahoo policy bounces, indicating the email contains a URL they don't like, and treat them as soft bounces, not hard bounces.

CHANGE: Catch message too large bounces and treat them as soft bounces, not hard bounces.

UPDATE: Merged updated Dutch translations from artindk.
BUGFIX: Don't count unread messages from closed chats when calculating badge numbers. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/109726477

INTERNAL: Improved and automated our Let's Encrypt certificate renewal system.

BUGFIX: Visiting the Groups.io website while logged out, we now pick up your language preference from the browser.
BUGFIX: When logged in, if you do not have a language preference set, we use the language preference from the browser.
CHANGE: We are now blocking Huawei's AS136907 cloud IP space because crawlers in that IP space were hammering the website.

BUGFIX: Fixed the language selector in the logged out home page. https://beta.groups.io/g/i18n/message/72
BUGFIX: The simplified Chinese localization was not working.

CHANGE: We are now blocking Alibaba's AS45102 cloud IP space because crawlers in that IP space were hammering the website.

CHANGE: Added redirects from the various old Help Center links to the new Help Center, including links from the old PDF locations to the new ones.

BUGFIX: Fixed link to Help Center from Sponsorship setting in the Group Settings page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/39190
HELP: Updates to the Help Center from Nina.
CHANGE: When rejecting a pending message, if the BCC Me or BCC All Moderators checkboxes are checked, the emails sent to the moderators will now mention the email address of the person who sent the rejected message.

BUGFIX: In feed.ics URLs, for repeating events that have been cancelled, do not include the RRULE: line, as the inclusion of that line for events with STATUS:CANCELLED was causing Google Calendars to not remove the events, as they should.
TESTING: The new Ask query system for using LLMs to search group archives is now live for testing by approved groups.

BUGFIX: Do not send notifications for messages in muted topics or with muted hashtags.

BUGFIX: Reposting a message or deleting a message on a narrow screen was not working.
UPDATE: Updated the new help center with updates from Nina, including new versions of the remaining PDFs.

BUGFIX: We were incorrectly parsing some SMTP "MAIL FROM" lines, leading to some spam messages getting through that should have been caught instead.
INTERNAL: Improved our database mocking so that we can have a more comprehensive set of database unit tests.

NEW: On the group Subgroups page, when someone with the manage subgroups permission views it, there's a new toggle button labeled "Show All (Including Hidden)" that when clicked will include any groups not normally listed in the subgroups page.
BUGFIX: When banning an email address, we did not first verify that the email address was a well-formed email address.
