April 25, 2024
- CHANGE: Now, when a pending member leaves a group before their membership is approved, the activity log entry will be 'Pending member N left'.
- CHANGE: Rolled out new user interface changes.
April 24, 2024
- CHANGE: I've made a change to the bounce algorithm. Previously if we received no additional bounces for 4 days, we cleared the bounce counts for a user. I've added the additional condition that we must have had at least one successful delivery after the last bounce received, before we clear the bounce counts. This is to address the issues of people not bouncing because they are members of groups that have very little traffic.
April 23, 2024
- BUGFIX: In some instances, when sending a message to a member via /posttosub using the +owner address, the email would actually be sent from the owner's email address. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/38190

- CHANGE: Added an alert box announcing the new user interface switchover next week.

April 14, 2024
- CHANGE: We are now re-writing the From line of all emails sent to Gmail hosted accounts. Gmail is starting to enforce DKIM domain alignment, which is forcing us to do this.
April 5, 2024
- NEW: We now handle Outlook/Google Calendar RSVPs for repeating events. A bug yet to be fixed is that this can sometimes generate multiple RSVP notification emails.
April 2, 2024
- BUGFIX: The Organizer field was sometimes different for individual events vs the repeat event declaration in an ICS file, which caused parsing errors for some CalDAV servers, and was against the spec.
April 1, 2024
- CHANGE: Email unsubscribe requests must now be properly DKIM signed.
- CHANGE: We now include a 'Resent-From' header whenever we include a 'Resent-Date' header, as required by RFC 5322.
