Platform

Updates / Bug Fixes

• We've updated our spam validator so that initials in signatures/RSVPs are not considered spammy.
  
  
• We've updated the page that users see if they click to unsubscribe from a blast email. Previously, we always called the main mailing list that the user was unsubscribing from (whether a campaign's mailing list or a partner's mailing list ) a "campaign," and if an organization had global unsubscribes enabled, we'd refer to the main ControlShift organization as "organisation." This made the unsubscribe page confusing for users.
  
  With this update, users unsubscribing from a campaign will see the 'Unsubscribe from this campaign" prompt. Users unsubscribing from a partner's mailing list will see an "Unsubscribe from [Partnership name]" prompt. If the organization has the global unsubscribes feature enabled, the user will also see an "Unsubscribe from all [organization name] emails" prompt.  †
  
  
• We're now including a blast email's author on the blast email's admin view page (org admin homepage > Blast Emails > [subject line]).

Petitions

Updates / Bug Fixes

• We've updated the way PDFs are generated in Arabic. Previously, the Arabic characters were unjoined, which made the PDF less readable.
  
  
• We fixed an issue that was preventing PDFs from opening and being readable in Adobe Acrobat. 

Events and Groups

Updates / Bug Fixes

• We've updated the local organizing map (found at /local) embed code. With the updated code, you can now choose to embed the map alone, or the map with the sidebar list of events and/or groups. To get started embedding this page on an external site, go to the org admin homepage > Settings > Local Map. †
  
  
• Admins can now apply a calendar filter to the local organizing map's URL, which will update the events shown on the map to only the events in that specific calendar. To filter the local organizing map by a calendar, add filter[calendars]=["foo"], where foo is your calendar's slug to the end of your local organizing map's URL. Here's an example:  http://demo.controlshiftlabs.com/local?filter[calendars]=["national-day-of-action-against-fracking"].
