Groups.io: Changelog

BUGFIX: When replying to a message on the website, don't delete the draft until we have successfully sent the message. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/unacceptable_and_illogical/104778871?p=,,,50,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,50,2,0,104778871,previd%3D9223372036854775807,nextid%3D1708377556600277976&previd=9223372036854775807&nextid=1708377556600277976
BUGFIX: Don't display the Reply link for messages tagged with a Mods Only Replies tag when viewed by a non-moderator. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/104778871#msg37695

CHANGE: Switched DKIM signing to a 2048-bit key, as required by iCloud and others.
CHANGE: Strip any 'ARC' related headers from incoming group emails.
BUGFIX: In some instances, when uploading a directory to the Files section, one of the files would be rejected if it was at the top level.
CHANGE: For group messages, we now change the Date header to be the current date/time when we send the message to members. This is because some mail servers will reject messages with a Date that is too far in the future or past. We do not modify the Date header as it is stored in the archives.

SYSADMIN: Fixed incomplete SPF DNS records for \*.groups.io subdomains.
INTERNAL: Revamped our DNS publishing system.
CHANGE: We're now publishing 'DMARC p=none' records for all domains and subdomains that we host. This is to comply with recent Gmail changes.

BUGFIX: When editing an existing message with a video attachment, you couldn't check the checkbox to delete the attachment. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/104519731#37561
BUGFIX: Fixed screen reader support for the labels on poll results.

NEW: New calendar events will default to RSVP being checked.
NEW: New calendar events will by default populate the Organizer Name and Organizer Email fields with the person creating the event.
NEW: If the Organizer Email matches a different member, that member also has the ability to edit the event.
CHANGE: The "By" line when viewing an event has been removed.
CHANGE: For new single events that request an RSVP and that don't have a maximum number of attendees, I've changed the ICS attachment that's sent to the group so that Outlook and Gmail will now display the Yes/Maybe/No buttons, and will display the Organizer, if there is one.
CHANGE: Clicking the Yes/Maybe/No buttons in Outlook or Gmail will update your response on the Groups.io website.

BUGFIX: In some very rare instances, when trying to display a message on the website, we'd improperly decode a message part, causing an error and the message to not be displayed.
SYSADMIN: Begin warm-up process for our remaining new email servers; contact various email service providers asking them to allow email from these servers.
INTERNAL: Improve our email server monitoring systems to make it easier to deal with additional email servers.

BUGFIX: Typo in the group promote page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/37547
BUGFIX: When sending email, if we received an error during the EHLO command followed by a disconnect from the server, we didn't record the error message received; we instead recorded 'EOF'.

BUGFIX: In .ics files, for cancelled events, we had 'METHOD: CANCELLED' when it should be 'METHOD: CANCEL'

BUGFIX: The code to export wiki data had accidentally been reverted to a previous version. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/wiki_export_anomaly/104416140?p=,,,50,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,50,2,0,104416140,previd%3D9223372036854775807,nextid%3D1706042766183061592&previd=9223372036854775807&nextid=1706042766183061592
NEW: Wiki group export data now include a `page` field, which contains the HTML of the current version of the wiki page.
CHANGE: When viewing RSVPs to an event, also include waitlisted people if there are any. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/91520129

NEW: When going to a chat that you are subscribed to and you do not have a username set up, we now pop up a dialog box asking you to set a username.

NEW: Added a new consolidated Chats page under '/chats' and replaced the Hashtags tab in the mobile toolbar with a link to it.

BUGFIX: A moderator with only the Remove Members permission was not actually able to remove a member from the /member page.

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').

SYSADMIN: Started sending some group emails through new email server mail03.groups.io, and began warming up mail04.groups.io.

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.

NEW: Group moderators and the person that starts a chat can now remove people from a chat, on the /chats page.

NEW: The person who starts a chat now has the ability to delete chat messages (group owners already have that ability).

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.
