Groups.io: Changelog

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.

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.

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.

BUGFIX: Remove any spaces within a base64 part of a message before trying to decode it. There shouldn't be any, but some email is arriving with spaces prepended to each line of base64 data.

CHANGE: Revamped pagination and added canonical tags to hopefully improve Google crawling of public groups. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/revamped_pagination/105565895

SYSADMIN: Completed the warm up of the new mail servers and they are fully in production.

CHANGE: Remove valid email check when banning an email address. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/38136

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.

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.

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.

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.

CHANGE: We no longer send any email to 'typo' domains as well as domains that are hosted by known domain parking servers. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/wednesday_update/105185583?p=,,,50,0,0,0::recentpostdate/sticky,,,50,2,0,105185583,previd%3D9223372036854775807,nextid%3D1709747170770269984&previd=9223372036854775807&nextid=1709747170770269984

BUGFIX: We were incorrectly adding a Bounced User log entry when we sent bounce notice messages to bouncing members.

CHANGE: We now log when a user is set to the red Bounced state, and we now log all instances when a user is set to the blue Bouncing state. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/104774546#msg37951

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.
