Slack for Mac - Release Notes

Slack 3.4.2

23 May 2019

Just as day follows night and winter gives way to spring, so have we updated Electron to 4.2.1.
Things are now cleverer about the way push notifications on mobile get information from the desktop app. Hopefully this is better for everyone (and faster).
Minor stability improvements in general. As always, the best sort of fix is the one you don’t notice at all because nothing’s going wrong.

Launch (and hide) on login now works better than it once did. By “once”, we mean “five minutes ago, before you updated your version of Slack”.
Our Slack app icon was missing smaller icon sizes, which was both problematic and not great aesthetically. It now renders as it should.
Slack would occasionally crash while you were restarting your computer. We looked at the bug causing this, turned it off and on again, and now it works. Technology!
Some people were seeing sidebar icons from other teams they were signed in to instead of the icons they were expecting. These will now show correctly.
Any keyboard and cursor actions you might’ve experienced behaving badly have been shown the error of their ways.

In a slight change to the way you sign in on your desktop, you’ll now sign in via your browser rather than directly in the app.
The new app icon was looking a little fuzzy on some docks, which simply wouldn’t do. It should be much crisper now.
Equally, the new loading animation was looking a little stretched, or a little squished, depending on how you looked it. It’s practically perfect in every way now.
If you have had problems logging in using SSO (single sign-on), you should no longer encounter these problems.
We fixed a problem where the “Open the Slack app” button in the browser did not, in fact, open the app. Honestly, it had *one* job. It now does that job.
