The Baked Alaska release of GroupServer mostly consists of changes to the email verification system.

Error handling is improved. Following an old verification link will show a suggestion to view your profile, rather than an Unexpected Error page. In addition the corner cases of a missing verification ID and broken ID are handled.
The Verification page now more closely conforms to Web standards.
The verification code (gs.profile.email.verify) is now easier to understand and extend.

In addition the site homepage has been modified. Now the groups and profile image of a logged in user are shown. This should make groups easier to find.

Work is now starting on GroupServer 11.02 — Tartufo Nibbled in Polite Company.
