Calendar
  • API CHANGE: /rsvp now returns the errors "canceled event" and "event ended" for events that are canceled or over.
Files
  • BUGFIX: When a folder's description or upload setting was changed, the notification sent to the group had the subject "Renamed Folder", even if the folder's name hadn't changed. The subject now reads "Updated Folder", matching the message itself. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41483
Design & Accessibility
  • CHANGE: The site's colors now belong to one family. Buttons, links, badges, page numbers, progress bars and menus used two slightly different blues; they now share one. Green and red buttons are a deeper, cleaner shade. Info buttons, which were a light cyan, are now the same blue as the other main buttons, and the Mod and Owner badges are a pale blue with dark blue text instead of cyan. All of the new colors meet the WCAG AA contrast standard, in light and dark mode.
  • CHANGE: Alert messages, such as "Your changes have been saved," are now a light tint with darker text in the same color, a thin outline in a lighter shade of that color, and rounded corners. Dark mode has matching versions.
  • CHANGE: The top bar is a deeper blue, so the envelope and ".io" in the Groups.io logo now stand out instead of blending into the bar. On phones, the browser's toolbar color matches.
  • CHANGE: In forms, the text you type in a box was smaller than both its label and the help text below it. Typed text is now the same size as the label, and help text is smaller, with a little space between it and the box.
  • CHANGE: Panel titles, such as General on the Settings page or Current Plan on the Billing page, were small grey all-capital labels. They are now larger headings in regular capitalization, so it's easier to see how a page is organized.
  • BUGFIX: In dark mode, progress bars, such as the storage bar on the Billing page, had a nearly white background. It is now dark.
  • BUGFIX: In dark mode, the highlighted item in drop-down menus had low-contrast text. It now uses a darker blue that is easier to read.
  • BUGFIX: In the group sidebar, the highlight on the first and last items of the Subscription, Admin, Membership, Preferences and Subgroups menus had rounded corners, and those menus were drawn as faint white boxes. The highlights are now square and the menus sit flat in the sidebar.
  • BUGFIX: The Home item in the group sidebar wasn't highlighted when you were on the group's home page. It now is.
  • BUGFIX: In dark mode, outlined green, blue and red buttons, such as Will Attend and Will Not Attend on event pages, had dark text that was hard to read against the dark background. They now use lighter text and a brighter outline, and fill in with color when you hover over them.
  • BUGFIX: Outlined orange buttons, such as Not Sure on event pages, had pale orange text that was hard to read on a white background. The text is now dark brown, and hovering shades the button a light orange instead of filling it with orange behind white text.
  • BUGFIX: Green, red, orange and blue buttons that couldn't be clicked were drawn in a different shade than the rest of the site, such as yellow instead of orange. This included your current response on event pages. They now match the site's colors.
  • BUGFIX: Menus that open upward, such as the Actions menu on the Members page, could open with their top items hidden under the bar at the top of the page. This happened when the list was short, for example after filtering the Members page down to one member, and it hid the Remove item. These menus now open downward when there isn't room for them below the top bar. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41469
Public Pages & Help
  • CHANGE: The Changelog page listed every change by date, with no way to find the ones you were looking for. You can now filter it by area, such as Calendar or Members, and by type (new features, changes, bug fixes or API changes), and search the text of every change. Each week's changes are grouped by area, under the week's highlights. Each page now holds a set number of changes instead of a set number of days, so a busy week no longer makes one very long page, and "Updates to the Groups.io service" is now in the breadcrumb at the top.
  • CHANGE: The weekly #changelog email is now organized by area instead of by day, with the busiest areas first. It starts with the week's highlights and a list of the areas that changed, so you can skip to the ones you care about. Changes to our internal systems are no longer included.
  • CHANGE: In the help center, a glossary definition opened by clicking an underlined term stayed open until you clicked the same term again, so several could pile up on top of each other. Definitions now close when you click anywhere else on the page, press Escape, or open another term. Clicking inside a definition keeps it open so you can select and copy its text. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41470
  • CHANGE: Changes on the Changelog page from late August to mid October now have areas and weekly highlights too, so they can also be filtered by area.
  • BUGFIX: On the Changelog page, a change that contained a link was cut off where the link began, so the announcement of the Security page read just "A new". Changes with a list of details, such as the event page redesign, showed only their first line. Both are now shown in full, and code, bold text and links in a change are now formatted instead of shown as raw Markdown.
