February 3, 2026

• BUGFIX: The Top Hashtags display in the Analytics page would miss some hashtags. This fix is forward-looking. New messages will have their hashtags tracked correctly.

February 2, 2026

• CHANGE: The Analytics page is now accessible to all moderators, not just moderators that have the billing permission.

January 30, 2026

• CHANGE: Updated the list of attachment extensions that we do not allow in emails, based on the list of attachment extensions that Gmail doesn't accept. The complete list is: .ade, .adp, .apk, .appx, .appxbundle, .bat, .cab, .chm, .cmd, .com, .cpl, .diagcab, .diagcfg, .diagpkg, .dll, .dmg, .ex, .ex_, .exe, .hta, .img, .ins, .iso, .isp, .jar, .jnlp, .js, .jse, .lib, .lnk, .mde, .mjs, .msc, .msi, .msix, .msixbundle, .msp, .mst, .nsh, .pif, .ps1, .scr, .sct, .shb, .sys, .vb, .vbe, .vbs, .vhd, .vxd, .wsc, .wsf, .wsh, .xll. These are also checked inside compressed archives (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz, .rar).
• NEW: Photo albums can now have sub-albums.
• BUGFIX: Deleted events still were represented in ICS feed files, but with STATUS:CANCELLED. This did not cause them to be removed from subscribing calendars. Now we don't include deleted events in ICS feeds.

January 23, 2026

• BUGFIX: In some instances, it appeared that a user was able to edit a locked event. When they tried to do so, the system prevented it, but it was still confusing.

January 15, 2026

• CHANGE: On the group promote page, removed Twitter and Facebook and added Bluesky and LinkedIn.
• CHANGE: Added wiki search to the /Ask feature.
• BUGFIX: Downloading past members isn't currently supported, so I've removed the Download button when viewing past members. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40230
• BUGFIX: Ensure the Unfollow button is displayed after replying to a message, when your subscription is to Follow Only + Auto Follow Replies. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40129

January 9, 2026

• NEW: Added 'Send as Special Notice' checkbox when composing replies, for mods/owners.
• BUGFIX: When adding/removing a member data image or database image, we would sometimes mix up which bucket to track the space used by it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40125

January 8, 2026

• CHANGE: Remove photo album description from admin email notifications. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40172

• CHANGE: Changed digest and summary From lines from the group email address to instead be the group name plus "Digest" or "Summary". https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40183

January 5, 2026

• BUGFIX: In some instances of groups with lots of files or photos, the export group function would time out.

December 19, 2025

• NEW: Groups now have a Two-Factor Authentication Policy setting to enforce the use of two-factor authentication by moderators and/or members.

December 16, 2025

• BUGFIX: In a repeating event in the calendar, if a single event had been deleted and then the repeating event was updated, the original single event was sometimes recreated.

December 12, 2025

• CHANGE: Updated the formatting and display of the group storage elements. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40038
• BUGFIX: In some instances, cancelling a single instance of a repeating event in the calendar generated a CANCEL ICS file that Outlook would use to remove all instances of the event.
