  • BUGFIX: When the system disables an account, if that account had already been banned in a group, the disabling was not being logged in that group.
  • BUGFIX: Infinite scroll of the `/topics` and `/messages` pages would show repeating header lines. https://beta.groups.io/g/app/topic/106934757#msg947

  • BUGFIX: When entering italicized, bolded, or underlined text in the editor before either a person's signature or a quoted reply, spaces would be ignored. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/38562
  • CHANGE: Some broken email systems generate emails with Message-ID headers that are improperly formatted. I've updated our code to be able to parse these header lines. This will fix some cases where topics are split when they should not have been.
  • BUGFIX: Search was unavailable on the /subgroupmembers page when viewing on narrow screens.
  • BUGFIX: When clicking a repeating event activity log entry, the Organizer fields may have been pre-populated incorrectly. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/38564
  • CHANGE: Our email parsing library would correctly error out on emails that incorrectly had quoted-printable sections with very long lines (quoted-printable lines should only be a max of 76 characters). Now we are more liberal in parsing those.

  • BUGFIX: Fixed some dark mode colors in the calendar.
  • INTERNAL: Updated the calendar code to the latest version of FullCalendar.
