Highlights

Ask now reads the discussion around each message it finds, cites its sources with verified numbered links, and fixes several cases where answers were cut short or failed.
Members you check on the Members page now stay checked after using an action, sorting, or changing pages, and the same holds on View RSVPs.
Moderators can add a moderator note to many members at once, and moderator notes are now hidden from members who are not allowed to read them.
HEIC photos can now be uploaded to Photos albums and dropped into the message editor.
Replies sent to the moderators from the website now reach them, and replies to a sender keep the Private: prefix and no longer duplicate the subject tag.

Messages & Topics

API BUGFIX: Polls created with /newpoll were never attached to a topic: the response had a msg_num of 0, and the poll showed as deleted on the website. /newpoll now posts the poll to the group as a new topic and returns it with its msg_num.
API BUGFIX: /updatepoll failed instead of updating the poll. It now updates the poll and edits its topic.
API BUGFIX: When posting a poll failed because it was too big, was sent to an announcement-only group by a non-moderator, or had a bad attachment, /newpoll and /updatepoll returned the error followed by the poll in the same response. They now return just the error.
API CHANGE: Removed the announce parameter from the /newpoll and /updatepoll documentation. It was never used; polls are always posted to the group as a topic. Callers that still send it are unaffected.
INTERNAL: dbfetch can now look up polls by ID, group, or user, including polls that were never attached to a message.
CHANGE: On the single-message page, the topic subject was a lower-level heading than the messages under it. It is now a level 2 heading, as on the topic page. Each message's heading for screen readers is now just the sender's name, without "Message from" and the date, which is read right after it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41398
BUGFIX: In the Verify Merge window, if the subject of the topic you were merging into contained a double quote, the subject was cut off at the quote and replaced with a backslash. Single quotes were shown as \u0027. Subjects are now shown exactly as written. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41392
CHANGE: The Yes button in the Verify Merge window now uses the same checkmark icon as other confirmation buttons. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41403
CHANGE: The Mute button on topic and message pages was orange, so it looked like the topic had already been muted. Mute, Unmute, Follow, and Unfollow are now plain grey buttons. When a topic is muted or followed, a Muted or Followed badge now appears next to the button, so you can tell the current state at a glance. The same applies to the Mute, Unmute, Follow, Unfollow, Mute/Notify, and Follow/Notify buttons for hashtags on the hashtag search results and the Hashtags list. The Edit button for hashtag owners on the hashtag search results, which was also orange, is now blue, like the Edit Tag button on the Hashtags list. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41413
BUGFIX: Messages written in Markdown on the website looked different in the group's archive than in the editor's preview. Headings, lists, and paragraphs had extra blank lines between them, so the message looked spread out. The same happened on the Pending Messages page when moderators reviewed a Markdown message. Markdown messages now look the same as in the preview.

Editor & Drafts

CHANGE: When you replied to the sender of a message on the website, you could delete Private: from the subject, and the reply would arrive looking like a group message. Replies sent only to the sender now always start with Private:, and it's put back if you delete it. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41425
BUGFIX: When you replied to the sender of a message, the group's subject tag was always added to the subject, even if it was already there, so it could appear twice. It was also added in the wrong place if Private: or Re: weren't typed exactly that way. The tag, Private: and Re: now each appear only once, in that order. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41425
API BUGFIX: The same fixes apply to replies sent to the sender with /postdraft.
BUGFIX: Dragging a HEIC photo into the message editor showed "Dropped file type is not supported". HEIC and HEIF photos dropped into the editor are now converted to JPEG and inserted where you drop them. HEIF files attached to a message from the website are now also converted to JPEG, like HEIC files. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41433
BUGFIX: When a moderator replied to the sender or to the moderators, the Send As Special Notice option could still be checked, although it only applies to messages sent to the group. It is now unchecked and greyed out unless the reply is going to the group. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41439
BUGFIX: On a message page, if you discarded a reply and then clicked Reply again, the reply window came back with the discarded text and kept trying to save it to the deleted draft. That showed a "There was an error saving the draft" alert with a retry countdown and another asking you to reload the page, and clicking Send didn't send the reply. It saved it as a new draft instead. Clicking Reply after Discard now starts a new reply. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41323
BUGFIX: The Drafts count in the sidebar didn't change when you started writing a reply on a message page or discarded one, until you went to another page. It now updates as soon as the reply is first saved or is discarded. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41323
BUGFIX: If a draft you were writing was deleted in another window, the editor kept trying to save it and showed an error alert with a retry countdown again and again. It now stops trying and tells you once that the draft was deleted, so you can copy your text before leaving the page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41323
BUGFIX: Members whose request to join was waiting for approval saw Drafts in the sidebar, and clicking it took them to the group's home page. Drafts is no longer shown until the membership is approved. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41458
BUGFIX: Members of announcement-only groups, and members not allowed to post, saw Drafts in the sidebar, but clicking it took them to the group's home page. They can now open their Drafts.
