Groups.io site updates #changelog


 

Hi all,

The last two change logs:



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.


NEW: You can now export all parts of your group, including chats,
files, photos, wikis and calendar events.
A long-awaited feature to provide moderators the ability to backup the group's content against any future inability to use Groups.io, or desire to move the group to another platform.

Note: there's currently a bug if the archive is too large. Wait for it to be corrected early next week.



CHANGE: Increased the seriousness of the maintenance page.
Apparently the former page was overly informal, causing some users to wonder if they'd actually connected to Groups.io or if the site had been hacked.


CHANGE: When sending a message to a member and BCC All is checked, we
previously would not send the message to a moderator that didn't
have the pending message notification enabled. We now always send
the message to all moderators.
Corrects a confusion that the feature was not working for some groups.


Comments about these others are also welcome:

CHANGE: Wording tweaks on event notification emails re: RSVPs.
SYSADMIN: Upgraded Elasticsearch software.
SYSADMIN: Reconfigured some machines to avoid future downtime.
BUGFIX: #cal-invite messages to all day events had the end date be one
day earlier in the attached ICS file.
CHANGE: The message sent to members after a group is moved from Yahoo
is now from the +owner address, instead of the group address, to
prevent inadvertent group replies.
CHANGE: Tweaked the delete group page to make it more explicit which
group you're about to delete.
INTERNAL: Made yahoo group crawler more resilient to Yahoo errors.
CHANGE: The member not confirmed 'NC' badge is now orchid color
instead of light blue.
BUGFIX: Keep formatting for github commit messages.
INTERNAL: Optimizations for group transfers.
BUGFIX: Viewing video attachments didn't work.
BUGFIX: Fix updating the time for repeating events.
CHANGE: Fix for change in Yahoo's login process.

Please call out any you find significant.
