I made a mistake and forgot to remove that from the list before I posted it.

Is anyone else encountering missing messages in digests?

 

The new home page is still only on beta and a couple other groups. I'd like to roll it out everywhere, but when I proposed that awhile ago, there was ... consternation. I would still like to roll it out everywhere because I think it's a superior experience. I will probably enable it for all new groups starting next week.

 

 

The homepage(s) look the same as before (they don't look like beta) and I don't see an option to define a new calendar event as a Zoom meeting.

I had to turn it off when I realized it only worked for my Zoom account until I had it approved by Zoom. That process is on-going.

No, it doesn't.  It says the change was made to "the new group home page" which hasn't been rolled out to any group other than beta.

But that's precisely what the changelog says has happened.  If it hasn't, why is it in the changelog?

It hasn't been rolled out to all groups yet.

I'm seeing no evidence of these changes on my group/subgroups. The homepage(s) look the same as before (they don't look like beta)

• NEW: Added a search bar to the new group home page/did some rearraigning of the page (as seen on beta@).
• NEW: Added Zoom integration to the calendar. You can now set up Zoom meetings when you create new events.

Changes to the site this week:

• INTERNAL: Improvements to our log file grepping system to help track down problems.
• NEW: Many updates to the new Help Center, Owners Manual and Members Manual.
• CHANGE: Lots of little wording tweaks on the website to make things more consistent.
• CHANGE: For messages sent to the +owner address, delete any existing To header and replace it with listname+owner@groups.io, to make it more clear where the message was sent.
• API: Added /newgroupalias and /deletegroupalias endpoints.
• NEW: Added a search bar to the new group home page/did some rearraigning of the page (as seen on beta@).
• API: Added /unbanmember endpoint.
• BUGFIX: When uploading a directory to the Files section, the description was not added to the top level folder.
• BUGFIX: Repost was not working in the Topic view.
• NEW: Added Zoom integration to the calendar. You can now set up Zoom meetings when you create new events.
• CHANGE: Cap message subject line length at 1000 characters.
• CHANGE: For groups set to Reply To Sender, no longer add the CC header to point back to the group. When replying-to-all, it would create a duplicate mailing.
• CHANGE: Improved the formatting of the new Owners Manual PDF.
• SYSADMIN: Upgraded the machine instance responsible for sending email.
• INTERNAL: To display attachments on the website, now redirect to S3 in many cases instead of us fetching/returning the data.

Take care everyone.

I think it probably makes sense to convert those messages to HTML before sending them out to the group

Yes!

This would definitely be a niche thing...

Too true, unfortunately. So pretty low on the scale of things to do I'm sure.

I'm not sure it's even possible to force Gmail and the other web-based clients to send out just a plain text email anymore.

Still can with Gmail and Outlook. But those days may be numbered! sigh.

Markdown has become the preferred format for many geeks, particularly those still using a plain text email client. As such, perhaps this is a problem better solved locally at the email client side. That is, compose in Markdown and have your own client do the filtering into HTML before sending it out the door. But know this -- I appreciate the support already added to this platform. Thanks!
