Groups.io: Changelog
September 18, 2026
Members
- CHANGE: Member label descriptions are now displayed in the Members filter, matching Subgroup Members. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- BUGFIX: Saving or cancelling a member record opened from Subgroup Members returned to the regular Members list. It now returns to Subgroup Members with the previous list state preserved. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41182
Moderation
- CHANGE: Reports of messages, photos, files, and profiles now require a reason; empty or whitespace-only reasons are rejected. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Group Settings
- BUGFIX: Dismissing the private-archive confirmation could leave Visibility blank. Cancel, close, Escape, and backdrop dismissal now restore the previous selection; Yes retains the new selection. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185
- CHANGE: The private-archive confirmation now uses public instead of open and a check-mark icon for Yes. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185
Subgroups
- BUGFIX: Subgroup page breadcrumbs had missing links or page titles. They now show a linked Subgroups parent and the current page title, with corrected breadcrumb spacing. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- CHANGE: The sidebar shortcut to sibling subgroups is now labeled All Subgroups when viewed from a subgroup, and the subgroup directory breadcrumb identifies the main group. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185
- BUGFIX: The Subgroup Members table header lacked its gray background in light mode. The background is now restored. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185
Calendar
- BUGFIX: Calendar validation errors reset dates, times, All Day, and other event options. The form now preserves submitted values, and Event Name is marked as required. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Photos
- BUGFIX: Photo searches omitted emailed images. Searches now include emailed images for viewers with archive access, and searching within Emailed Photos limits results to that album. Emailed-image results link to their source messages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- CHANGE: The Move Photo dialog now sorts destination albums alphabetically and uses a move icon. Edit Album and Edit Photo now include Cancel buttons. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Wiki
- CHANGE: Wiki comparison revision links and the Claimed by profile links in Pending Messages now open in new tabs. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Databases
- BUGFIX: Database import and row-action buttons were enabled without the required selections. JSON and CSV imports now require a selected file, View/Edit Row requires exactly one selected row, and Delete Rows requires at least one. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- BUGFIX: Cancelling Edit Table Properties returned to the database list. It now returns to the table being edited. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
- CHANGE: Database import, edit, and export actions now use matching, descriptive icons. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Chat
- CHANGE: Chat dates are now labeled Last activity. Microphone settings are disabled for viewers who have not joined the chat. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
Enterprise
- BUGFIX: SAML setup could fail when an identity provider rejected the metadata fetcher's default client identification. Metadata requests now identify themselves as Groups.io.
- BUGFIX: SAML configuration errors incorrectly displayed a database error and discarded the submitted settings. The form now displays a specific SAML error and preserves the entered values for correction.
- BUGFIX: The Enterprise SAML request-signing setting advertised signed authentication requests without actually signing them, and SP metadata omitted the signing certificate. Enterprise owners can now prepare a dedicated certificate, import it into their identity provider, and explicitly enable request signing. SP metadata includes the prepared certificate and accurately reflects whether signing is enabled. Existing configurations remain unsigned until signing is explicitly enabled.
- NEW: Enterprise SAML settings now support certificate rotation: prepare and publish a replacement alongside the current certificate, activate it after coordinating trust with the identity provider, roll back if needed, and explicitly retire the previous certificate. Settings display certificate fingerprints, expiry dates, and warnings for certificates expiring within 90 days.
