Hi all,

This week's change log:
/g/beta/message/12766

Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.


o NEW: Now we're tracking deliveries of group notices.

This is the big one for me, and likely for anyone who's been having trouble getting new members confirmed and approved. It means the "Email Delivery History" tab when you open a (pending) members page will be more complete - it will tell you whether the initial notices were accepted (successful) or rejected (unsuccessful, bounced) by the (would-be) member's email service.

Alas, it won't tell you if the notice went to spam or was otherwise diverted from the member's inbox - those will still appear as successful. But at least you'll know that it was sent and that the problem is on the member's side.


o CHANGE: Google has announced they will no longer permit .js attachments, so we're now also blocking them.

One more for the list of .com, .exe, .bat, .scr and other banned file types. Sigh. More dysfunction brought about by the intersection of crooks and clueless.

This one bugs me because every once in a while I or a coworker forgets and tries to send a test program to a client. BAM! message rejected. Sometimes we've even been blocked as a result and had to go to a client and ask them nicely to have a chat with their IT department (or outside service) about unblocking us. Which always sets up a bunch of tense inquiries from their management.

Ok, so wrap it in a .zip file. Nope. Sometimes .zip is banned too, or else they are inspected and the forbidden file type found inside. So you rename the file to some harmless type. But then you have to explain to the client what they have to do to make it work.

Uh, I guess I went a little ranty there. One my pet peeves. I hate that this is why we can't have nice things.


o CHANGE: Changed the default order of the Emailed Photos album to most recent first.

This will probably help out those who've been plagued with duplicates and other dysfunction in the list of Recently Posted Photo section of your group's home page.


o CHANGE: We now catch duplicate messages sent to groups.

Likewise of interest to those groups that have had this happen on incomming messages.


Back to the changelog, anyone have comments about these, or others:

o CHANGE: Changed the max number of messages in a digest from 25 to 12.

o BUGFIX: If an invite had a name associated with it, we weren't using it when creating a new user.

o CHANGE: Tweaked the formatting and sort order of the poll response page.


Please call out any you find significant.
