Calendar
  • BUGFIX: Events that had ended or been canceled still accepted RSVPs sent by replying to an invitation email or through the API, even though the event page no longer offered the buttons. They no longer do. Replying to an invitation for a repeating event also used to change your response on occurrences that had already happened; it now only changes upcoming ones.
  • BUGFIX: When someone left a group or was removed, their RSVPs to upcoming events stayed behind. They kept holding spots at events with an attendance limit, and if they had RSVPed to every occurrence of a repeating event, they kept being added to new occurrences. These RSVPs are now removed when someone leaves; RSVPs to past events are kept. The spots they free up go to the waitlist the next time anyone RSVPs to the event.
  • BUGFIX: When editing a repeating event, pressing Enter in a field such as the location sent the event's invitation to the group again, as if you had clicked Resend Invitation. Pressing Enter now asks whether to change this event, the following events or all events, the same as clicking Update Event.
  • API NEW: /updategroup accepts a new default_event_color parameter, and the group object includes default_event_color. /addevent and /addrepeatevent use the group's default_event_color when no color is given.
  • 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.
