SLACK DOWNLOAD BETA UPDATE

We now support additional zoom levels up to 200% to reduce the strain on your precious peepers Bigger is better, or rather, closer is clearer. We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. You know what they say about menus - they’re most helpful when you can read them. Certain menus were not being properly translated when switching languages in the app. After some orange slices and a halftime pep talk, notifications will be sticking with the app wherever it may go. If you moved the app window between multiple monitors, notifications were slow to appear on the correct screen. This release includes significant security improvements.

See our full list of nifty keyboard shortcuts by pressing Ctrl + / the next time you have Slack open! Did you know that pressing the Esc key will mark the channel you’re viewing as read? Or that pressing Shift + Esc will clear ALL of your notifications? Well, now you can do that without being pulled out of fullscreen mode. Strong systems require checks and balances, and we’re pleased to report ours now has one more check. If you had the “Launch app on login” preference selected, we stopped showing a checkmark next to it after the app restarted. We’ll return you to your regular, more interesting types of release next time (we hope) We tweaked some things too small to notice or too difficult to explain. Examples include: walking the dog, catching up after PTO, taking a mental break, or tweeting nice things to the Slack social media team.

While this has been fixed, we’d like to remind you that you can use your Custom Status to let your teammates know your whereabouts beyond simply Active or Away. Certain versions of the app were not correctly changing availability to “Away” after 10 minutes of inactivity. A little more secure for us, a little more peace of mind for you. When opening SSH, FTP, SFTP or SMB links, you’ll now see the option to allow all future URLs from just that same domain instead of the whole wide world. This release includes security improvements. Slack cannot have a little web page, even as a treat. Some external URLs were occasionally launching within the Slack app window, but will now load in your default web browser, as is proper. Come on in and have your pick of all the preferences. We’ve unlocked the door, flipped on the overheads and fired up the neon “Open” sign. Depending on how the app was installed, the “Launch on Login” option was sometimes appearing greyed-out, visible but inaccessible, like a storefront window display after closing hours. There is a time and place for “fake it ‘til you make it,” but this was not one of them.

We discovered that when an update to the app failed, people were still being notified that the update was a success. It’s possible the “Copy” button did nothing at all. Maybe we gave you an option to copy that version number to your clipboard. Perhaps you wanted to know which version of the app you had installed. If you don’t want to see these each time because you enjoy living on the edge, just check the box “Always open files of this type.” Starting today, you’ll see a confirmation pop-up when a link in Slack is prompting another program to open. We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. This release includes minor security improvements. Duplicitous duplication was never part of the plan-sorry about that. If you tried to re-download a file that was already present in your Downloads folder, the app would pretend to download it again without actually producing a new file. Everything is now running smoothly again. Change log not available for this version Clicking on a notification was sometimes causing the app to stop responding, breaking its silence only to say “Slack is not responding.” No one enjoyed that, so we’ve endeavored to make sure that doesn’t happen anymore Can bugs be crafty? Not when they’re squished. If you had notifications disabled at the system level, Slack had very crafty ways of evading the preventative measures of Windows.

Are you sure you’d like one less approval? YES/NO We’ve added the most common Apple and Microsoft file extensions to our approved list so you won’t be asked to confirm each time you open a Word doc or Keynote presentation. TL DR: A few more numbers for you, a bit more specificity for everyone. Going forward, while you’ll still see the numbers laid out in a sequence, the “Build” numbers will now correspond to specific builds on our end as opposed to a small sequential number. You may have noticed that with this release there’s a new, larger number at the end of the version string.
