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.

BUGFIX: For groups without subgroups, you can now go to
, and it will redirect correctly.

This is handy as a short and easy to type URL when telling people about your group. In most browsers you don't even need to type the part when entering it into the address bar. And once you've used it a time or two your browser will likely auto-complete it for you as you type your group name. Slick!

This also means that your group's subdomain is propagated into the DNS system soon after group creation. So when you later create your first subgroup you won't have a "dead time" when you can't get to your group, as some have reported here in GMF.

NEW: Added a section to the Help about the FBL and people being
removed because of spam.

Short and to the point:
/static/help#a-member-was-removed-because-of-spam
We should update ours to cite it.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Removed-for-spam

NEW: When viewing a subgroup where you aren't subscribed, but you are
a mod/owner of the parent group, the tag on the sidebar will now say
'Parent Mod' or 'Parent Owner'.

Excellent. This might be why he widened the left column, but it may be worth it in terms of clarifying a somewhat mysterious behavior (primary group mods and owners automatically have mod or owner access in all subgroups).

NEW: On the pending message screen, if you use the Approve &
Unmoderate Button to approve messages from non subscribers, a dialog
will now pop up telling you that these people cannot be unmoderated
(because they're not members).

Joe reported a bug involving this function. If you get a confirmation dialog that is titled "Confirm Delete" - don't. It actually deletes the pending message instead of approving it. Use the "Approve" button instead of "Approve & Unmoderate Senders" for non-subscribers (at least until this bug is fixed).

CHANGE: Don't fig leaf email addresses when viewing source.

This was a leftover of when members could use view source. I kind of miss that, but I understand why it may be too revealing, fig-leafs notwithstanding.


Comments about these others are also welcome:

SYSADMIN: Upgraded the main database instance.
BUGFIX: Fixed escaping of special characters in search query strings.
BUGFIX: Fixed two bugs in the DKIM verifying library we use.
BUGFIX: The 'Bulk Remove' button was being shown to some moderators
who didn't have the right permission to use it (they were not able
to actually use the feature).
CHANGE: Tweaked the sidebar width in certain instances, making it a
little larger.
BUGFIX: Disabled the 'Subscribe to Calendar' button for subgroups
where you are not a subscriber (but are owner of the parent group).
CHANGE: Parallelized updating the DNS servers to speed subgroup
creation up.
BUGFIX: Fixed a problem with repeating event reminders that could
cause some of them to not be sent.
BUGFIX: Fixed some labels on the group settings page for screen
readers.
CHANGE: Added wording on Display Name edit pages: "Note: When you
post, your email address is also shown to group members who receive
messages via email."
CHANGE: Upgraded Go toolchain from 9.4 to 10.3. This unexpectedly
broke several parts of the web site that dealt with uploading files.
Fixed.
SYSADMIN: Upgraded main bastion host.
NEW: Adding Authentication-Results header line showing DKIM/SPF tests.
Only visible when viewing message source in the archives.
SYSADMIN: Renewed *.groups.io ssl certificate.
CHANGE: When posting a message, ignore returns clicked when editing
the subject.
BUGFIX: When viewing or editing an individual database row that has a
date column, the date displayed would always be today.
BUGFIX: When viewing or editing an individual database row that has an
empty date column, the date displayed would always be today.

Please call out any you find significant.

And it would be even cooler if this group also had an alias such as "gmf".
