We’ve rolled out a wide set of improvements and fixes across Composer to enhance performance, accessibility, and reliability in Calendars, Messages, Forms, and more.
This release includes smarter error handling, UI refinements, and better support for inclusive design standards—making everyday workflows smoother for school web admins.

In Calendars, we addressed several issues that impacted usability and migration. When clients migrated calendars from Calendar Manager, we now detect and handle incorrect iCal links more gracefully, preventing unexpected errors during settings updates. A recurring issue where the calendar sometimes defaulted to the wrong month—despite cache clears and browser resets—has been identified as a caching problem and is being mitigated. We’ve also refined color settings for all-day events to meet accessibility contrast standards and fixed an issue where Grid View displayed event titles incorrectly when truncation was enabled. Additionally, we’re investigating performance concerns related to calendar load speed for large data sets to deliver a better experience for all district users.

For Messages, we fixed a bug where cloned messages failed to retain mailto: links, replacing them with placeholder text. This now preserves the original intent of email-based calls to action. We’ve also resolved a frustrating translation error that intermittently prevented users from selecting a language, ensuring a smoother multilingual experience going forward.

In Forms, we've made backend improvements to reduce the rate of failed submissions caused by CAPTCHA validation errors—particularly those that falsely indicated success in the UI. For Stripe-based forms using currencies like JPY, we've clarified error messaging when the submitted amount falls below the payment processor's threshold. Additionally, we've fixed a long-standing issue where placing forms inside Accordion panels prevented them from displaying properly; now, they fully load and function as expected in more flexible layout combinations.

We’ve made thoughtful accessibility improvements as well—particularly in Posts, where popup titles previously used <div> elements. Clients can now request use of proper heading tags like <h2> or <h3> to support screen readers and audit tools. Search results are now more consistent between logged-in and public views, and an issue with tag filtering on shared post tool elements has been corrected. In Redirects Manager, we’ve resolved a URL encoding issue where %20 was mistakenly being double-encoded during bulk uploads, causing broken redirects.

Finally, we’ve implemented a performance enhancement in panel group elements like accordions and tabs—they now load their content asynchronously, improving initial page load speed and responsiveness, especially on content-heavy sites.

These updates continue our ongoing effort to make Composer faster, more reliable, and more inclusive. Thanks for being part of the journey.
