Admin v2.6: Smarter notifications, fairer pricing, and a cleaner reservation workflow
This month's admin release brings a new What's New announcement channel, fixes to reservation pricing and email notifications, better search accuracy, and a more reliable nightly calendar rebuild.
Highlights
- Stay in the loop with a new in-app What’s New channel announcing product updates as they ship.
- Fairer reservation pricing. Applying or clearing a pricing tier no longer erases manual charges or inflates totals.
- Reservation admins now get notified the moment a new request is submitted, with times shown correctly in local time.
New features
What’s New announcements
A new dismissible banner and profile menu link keep admins informed about the latest product updates, right inside Vega Admin. No more missing out on new features.
Event announcement threads for admins
Admins can now post announcements directly on events, see replies in a threaded view, reply with an admin badge, and moderate (tombstone) attendee replies, bringing the same conversation tools already available for group announcements to events.
Improvements
- Community group search and detection now relies on a reliable flag instead of matching on the group’s name, so renamed or custom-named groups are correctly identified everywhere in search.
Fixes
- Applying or clearing a pricing tier on a reservation no longer inflates the total or wipes out manual charges. Only the actual space-price difference is adjusted.
- Admins now receive an email the moment a reservation request is submitted for approval, with a working link straight to the reservation.
- Reservation and invoice emails now show the correct local time for the venue instead of UTC.
- Fixed the nightly public calendar rebuild so it no longer reports false failures and keeps running reliably even under load; Google Calendar sync entries for deleted groups now clean themselves up automatically instead of erroring every night.
