CHANGE: The `/topics` page now displays thumbnail images similar to the group topics page.
CHANGE: The default page when first going to groups.io is now the /topics page, not the /feed page.
CHANGE: The mobile version of the `/topics` page now shows your groups as a horizontal scroll at the top, similar to the `/feed` page
CHANGE: Various formatting tweaks to the `/topcs` and `/feed` pages.

BUGFIX: Cancelled instances of repeating events will now show as grey in the calendar.
BUGFIX: When viewing a cancelled instance, the Edit button is now removed, and it more prominently says 'This event has been cancelled'.
BUGFIX: Cancelled instances were not being represented as cancelled in the ICS feeds. That's been fixed as well.

NEW: Added a calendar date picker to make it easy to jump to a specific day.
NEW: Added event search to the group and user calendar pages to search for events.

CHANGE: When banning a domain, display a success banner. Moved the Ban Domain input field to the top of the page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40377
BUGFIX: When banning a member, keep any existing member notes. Also, in the Members page with the ban filter, show the notes icon for any banned members with notes. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40373
API BUGFIX: Updating extra_member_data_columns in the `/updategroup` endpoint didn't work.
API NEW: Added new endpoint `updateextramembercolumndef` which modifies the properties of a single column (name, choices, description, etc.) without sending the full columns array.
API NEW: Added new endpoint `updateextramembercolumn` which updates a single member's extra member data value for one column.
CHANGE: Merged Dutch language changes.

BUGFIX: In the Activity Log, display the subject line of messages sent to +owner addresses from banned domains. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40358

CHANGE: Calendar ICS files now only include events more recent than one year ago. Previously, all events in the calendar were included.

CHANGE: Updated the Change Email help video to reflect the new change email process.
NEW: Added preliminary versions of help videos for the Calendar, Photos, Files, Database, and Wiki sections.

BUGFIX: For repeating calendar entries with a fixed number of instances, if the starting date/time was changed, there was a possibility that not all of the individual instances of that event would be shown on the website.
NEW: Preliminary support for using Memberclicks for SSO authentication.

CHANGE: Changed the change email address flow, so that you can still log in using your old email address until the new email address has been confirmed. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40314

BUGFIX: We now prevent the case where, if you have two windows open editing the same draft, one window could overwrite the other's changes.

CHANGE: The Analytics page now allows arbitrary date range selection, instead of just the last 30 days.
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

CHANGE: Remove photo album description from admin email notifications. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40172
CHANGE: Changed `Manage Chats` button to `Manage Chat Members`. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/40173
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

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

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