September 24, 2024

  • BUGFIX: If an event or repeated event was deleted from the calendar, that deletion was not reflected in the ICS file. This would cause any subscribed calendars to become out of sync with the Groups.io calendar.

  • BUGFIX: When making minor changes to a repeating event (like name/desc/location), we were deleting and re-creating the underlying single events, which caused any existing RSVPs to be deleted. We now maintain all existing RSVPs.

August 22, 2024
