Welcome to Bevy release notes! Every month we share product updates, fixes, and general improvements. 

Summary

New Features

Translate pages on Bevy using the Language selector

You can display community pages, chapter pages, and the dashboard in multiple languages. Use the language selector to translate all the Bevy text to the language you want to use. 

This is a big step in our efforts to make community a consistent experience for people all over the world. Next, we'll be researching user-generated content to translate everything on a page into the language people select. We're also developing localized emails.

Analytics Beta - Virtual dashboard additions

This great dashboard just got even better! Now you can see:

• Events by event venue

• Registration and attendance rates

• Virtual conference engagement overview

Many-to-many session format in Bevy Virtual Conferences

When you create a new session for a virtual conference you have new options for the session format. In addition to the pre-recorded and live sessions, you can make an interactive session. When people join a many-to-many session format, audio and video is automatically enabled for the first 50 people that join. It also limits the total number of people that can join that session to 350. 

We've heard great things from the people using this feature for their Bevy Virtual events. Let us know how you use it in your conference!

Conference and community app updates

We hope you're as excited about our community and conference apps as we are. This month's work includes:

• Registering for events in the app
• Displaying sessions for specific ticket types
• Adding sessions to your calendar
• Viewing a list of your chapters, including hidden chapters
• Filtering event lists by event type
• Displaying hidden events in the My events list
• Community networking
• Sending DMs after an event ends
• Android: Push notifications for DMs
• Improving the agenda for hybrid events
• Improving the experience of leaving a conference event in the community app

PKCE Support for OAuth2.0 and Open ID Connect

The latest improvement to our Single Sign on (SSO) options is added support for the PKCE flow. This adds a code verifier and code challenge to the OAuth2.0 authentication code process. To get this option set up, talk to your Bevy onboarding team. 

Learn more in our technical documentation:

• OAuth2.0
• Open ID Connect

Copy event link 

When you're viewing your events in the dashboard, you can open the menu and copy the link to the event. This makes it faster for you to share the link with people so you can spend more time talking about your event and less time clicking.

Fixes

• There was an issue with creating recurring events that recurred for more than 52 weeks. The issue was that there was an error that you couldn't see. We've made sure that our validations validate what we want them to and now you can create recurring events that recur for more than 52 weeks. 
• We had a lot of words on the ticket widget of paid event pages. We made them clearer and updated the column name from Date to Availability. Now instead of Sales end and Sales start before the date, it just says Starts, Ends, or Ended. This also matches the field name when you configure the tickets. 
• In emails, there was a gray box instead of the event thumbnail image. Now the image displays.
