APP: Submitted new versions of the app to both the Apple and Android stores and am awaiting responses.

CHANGE: When viewing or editing a database row that contains images, limit the size of the images when viewing them to prevent formatting problems.

CHANGE: Changed `Edit Subject` to `Topic Properties` in the Topics drop down to be more consistent with other pages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/fix_name_of_edit/85100699?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,85100699

BUGFIX: When exporting a member list, don't include the `moderator_notes_updated` field if it's 0. Have not yet fixed the `most_recent_message` issue. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/date_data_bug_s_in_the/85050030?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,85050030

BUGFIX: Refactored the editor code and fixed a problem with Firefox where an error banner would sometimes briefly show up when exiting the editor page.

BUGFIX: For all files generated during a group export, convert any of these characters: `< > : " / \ | ? *` to `_`. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/files_photos_naming/85215801?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,85215801

BUGFIX: For some repeating events ending on a specific day in a non-Pacific timezone, we sometimes had an off-by-one day error for the until date.
INTERNAL: Fixed some minor Javascript errors on the `New Topic` and `Invite` pages.
INTERNAL: Re-enabled logging of client-side javascript errors, and did some work to filter out useless results.

BUGFIX: In some instances, changing a group's privacy setting to be unlisted did not remove the group from the group directory.
BUGFIX: Fixed up some HTML in an effort (unsuccessful) to fix a problem that was preventing the Search icon from bringing up the Search modal box on older iPhones.
NEW: After clicking a `/leave` link and leaving a group, we send one final email with a `/resub` link in case you've made a mistake. Clicking that link now requires a confirmation step to confirm you wish to rejoin the group. This is because some anti-spam systems click on every link in an email, and these were causing people to be automatically resubscribed to groups they had just left.
API: For webhook events that involve a message, specifically `edited_message`, `sent_message_accepted`, `sent_message_moderated`, we now include the raw message in the webhook event object.
INTERNAL: Updated the Go compiler to the latest version.

CHANGE: You can no longer ban an email address that has been disabled by Groups.io staff.

NEW: When composing a post or reply, if there is an error saving the draft, we now display an error message and will retry.

CHANGE: Starting to block incoming email from some sets of known dynamic IP addresses.
BUGFIX: Some messages were being truncated after the update to the quoted printable library.

CHANGE: Updated the library we use to decode and encode quoted printable parts of messages, which should fix some edge case bugs.

CHANGE: We now require that the email address used in the `MAIL FROM` part of an SMTP transaction have a valid MX record.
NEW: Check all boxes in the Export Group Data page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/add_a_select_all_checkbox/77920478?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,0,77920478

NEW: Testing greylisting some email from non-members to +owner addresses, as a spam mitigation action.
