Hi all,
This week's change log:
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.
APP: Created new App subgroup and got approval from Apple for the
first test version of the app.
I'm not a big fan of mobile apps, but I know there are many who would welcome having an iOS/Android app. More information about the app and about beta testing the app can be found in the app subgroup to beta:
NEW: Added new Messages that start new topics are moderated group
moderation option.
This one strikes me as a double-edged sword. The intended effect is to keep topics better organized. The unintended side effect might be to give people a motive for "drifting" or "hijacking" on an existing topic. I think that groups that use this feature will need to be vigilant about correcting members who evade the intent.
BUGFIX: Edit buttons were missing from the Hashtags page.
I'm glad that wasn't a deliberate change!
CHANGE: Increased concurrency of the process responsible for handling
email delivery status updates because it was bottlenecking email
delivery due to our ever increasing email delivery numbers.
This one I find noteworthy only in that it demonstrates one of the unanticipated effects of the recent growth that Groups.io has had.
Comments about these others are also welcome:
BUGFIX: Fixed a deadlock issue in some cases during confirmation via
email.
INTERNAL: Addressed some technical debt around the calendar code, and
in the process fixed two timezone conversion bugs in ICS feeds.
API: The message object now has an attachments array.
BUGFIX: The your subscription is not yet approved banner was appearing
one page refresh too late.
API: The docs for /createhashtag incorrectly stated that description
was required.
BUGFIX: Fix crash when sorting a database by a column that no longer
exists.
BUGFIX: The user was not being displayed in Message rejected from not
confirmed member activity log lines.
API: /downloadarchives now supports start_msg_num parameter.
NEW: When downloading archives either through the API or through the
export group function, each message now has a X-Groupsio-MsgNum
header with the message number of the message.
API: /newdraft now supports draft_type_dm.
NEW: Include descriptions in the list of hashtags on the New Topic
page.
BUGFIX: If a pending member was rejected on the group member screen,
they were marked as Removed in the Past Members page, when they
should be marked as Rejected.
BUGFIX: The API call /directadd wasn't returning full member_info
object information.
BUGFIX: We were not handling emails with header lines that weren't
properly capitalized correctly.
BUGFIX: Editing a malformed message imported from Yahoo that was
missing a body didn't work.
CHANGE: Removed Facebook Integration from the group Integrations page.
NEW: Added additional checks for our DNS servers to ensure that we
catch any DNS issues.
Please call out any you find significant.
