  • NEW: There is a new group setting, 'Allow Videos in Photos', and when that is checked there is a new selector to determine the max size of videos allowed in the Photos section.
  • CHANGE: When viewing the likes for a message, if a liker is no longer a member of the group, display `[Person is no longer a member]`.
  • BUGFIX: Fixes to get SSO using NoviAMS working.

June 15, 2023

  • CHANGE: In lock topic notifications, we now include a `References` header pointing back to the original topic. This allows the system to lock topics that are more than two weeks old successfully (we only do subject matching to determine replies for two weeks).

June 13, 2023

  • BUGFIX: Video dialog windows could sometimes extend past the viewport, meaning you couldn't see the entire video.
  • CHANGE: Improved the wording of chat post notifications.

June 9, 2023

  • NEW: You can now upload videos to chats.

June 6, 2023

  • CHANGE: Improved the display of attachments in digests, matching the changes made on the website last week.
  • BUGFIX: Pull to refresh on the app was using the wrong element, so the sidebar got pulled down as well.
  • CHANGE: In the pending message screen, if you click on the email address of the sender, that brings up the dropdown with options for the sender. Click on the email address at the top of that to automatically copy the email address into your clipboard. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/99315746#34976

June 5, 2023

  • NEW: You can now click on an image in a chat to bring up a bigger version of the image.
  • NEW: Clicking video attachments now brings up a viewer on the web instead of just downloading the attachments (which you can still do.)

June 4, 2023

  • BUGFIX: When loading an existing chat with images, there could be flashing as the images load.

June 3, 2023

  • NEW: When removing or banning someone, you can now enter a reason which will be displayed in the activity log.

June 2, 2023

  • NEW: There is a new group `ReplyTo` setting for groups that have subgroups, `Reply To Other Group`. When selected, another selector is displayed allowing you to select the other group that replies should be sent to. This works for normal groups and it works for `Announce` groups.
  • CHANGE: Added back the date display on the pending message page.
  • BUGFIX: When splitting a message into reply parts, if the first split chunk contains no text, remove it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/99265503

June 1, 2023

  • CHANGE: When displaying an HTML message in the archives, if an element has a height or width specified, only allow that if the values are in percentages, not pixels. This is to hopefully prevent weird horizontal/vertical scrolling of the message.
  • BUGFIX: The attachment size display in the pending message page was incorrect. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/topic/99200979
  • CHANGE: Cleaned up the display of attachments on the website.
  • NEW: In chat, you can now reply to specific messages.

May 31, 2023

  • CHANGE: Changed the Reply page, removing the `Private` and `Group Reply` toggle system and replacing it with a selector to choose where your reply should go.

May 30, 2023


May 29, 2023

  • CHANGE: Improved the image compression when uploading images to chats, so that the process should be much faster.
