Groups.io: Changelog

CHANGE: When a user who is going through the reverification process visits the site, they are now redirected to a special page which lets them change their email address or send a new reverification email. Simply visiting the website no longer automatically reverifies someone.
CHANGE: The reverification email now includes a link to a new web page, which when visited, reverifies the user. Simply responding to the reverification email will also still reverify the user.

CHANGE: When a bouncing user visits the website, they are now directed to a special page which lets them change their email address or send a bounce probe email. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/104774546#msg37751
CHANGE: We now always send an email notification to a member when they RSVP to an event, regardless of what the RSVP is. Also, events with a max number of attendees now also have ICS files formatted with METHOD=REQUEST so that members can RSVP directly in Outlook and other calendars. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/37722

BUGFIX: Include descriptions in #file-notice messages when adding new links.
SYSADMIN: Started sending email through remaining new servers.

BUGFIX: We weren't saving BCC Me checks properly in drafts. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/37776
SYSADMIN: Upgrade our load balancer instances because they were running out of memory.

BUGFIX: In some cases we were improperly encoding the 'To' header line for group & sender replies, leading to bounces from GMX associated servers.

CHANGE: Reverted the change where we re-write the Date header of emails. Instead, we now add a Resent-Date header.
MISC: Began new reverification process for some groups confirmed to have spam trap addresses.

BUGFIX: When a member leaves or is removed from a parent group, causing them to also be removed from any subgroups they are a member of, it was not logged in the activity logs of the subgroups that they had been removed or left.
BUGFIX: In some instances, it was not possible to edit extra member data fields in a member's group profile page.

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.
