Maintenance Release
The latest update resolves several issues with SEO tags as well as additional tweaks and filters to support those changes.
Read more about those changes in our Knowledge base article about the SEO changes.
As always, we recommend testing updates on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.
✅ Fixed
Bugs that were squashed in this release:
- SEO: We now ensure that the
noindex
meta tag properly observes whether events are present on the page or not. - SEO: Added
noindex, nofollow
for grid-based views like Month and Week View when they are not set as the home page.
