• Nothing major to report this week. Nothing minor to report either, as it turns out. Work is still happening, mind you — it’s just more the sort that happens behind the curtain in between scenes at a play. We’re quietly setting the stage for what’s to come.

Nor should they have to in Slack, which is why we've fixed the bug where pressing Alt + ` opened the app menu instead of gracefully swapping your keyboard to a different language. Onward, then.

• Trying to capture your screen with a third-party app while also sharing your screen in Slack may have resulted in the non-Slack app crashing. We’d like to say that this was because the idea of “capture” is antithetical to “sharing,” but in truth it was just a “bug.”
• Sharing your screen and then right-clicking the Slack icon in the taskbar made you the winner of a secret game. The prize was that the app would crash. Nobody liked that.
• If you’re someone who uses a symlink for your %appdata% folder and noticed that Slack was crashing on startup, we have some good news: Slack won’t be crashing anymore. If you don’t use symlinks, well, this note doesn’t apply to you, but we appreciate you reading anyway.
• Dragging the Slack window between multiple displays was resulting in some spooky behavior, like the window snapping to locations where you distinctly did not drop it. “Haunted Slack” launches in 2025, but until then we must insist all ghosts be unambiguously busted.

• You may have noticed that with this release there’s a new, larger number at the end of the version string. Going forward, while you’ll still see the numbers laid out in a <MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD> sequence, the “Build” numbers will now correspond to specific builds on our end as opposed to a small sequential number. TL;DR: A few more numbers for you, a bit more specificity for everyone.
• 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. Are you sure you’d like one less approval? YES/NO
• If you had notifications disabled at the system level, Slack had very crafty ways of evading the preventative measures of Windows. Not by design, mind you—it was a bug. Can bugs be crafty? Not when they’re squished.

• Perhaps you wanted to know which version of the app you had installed. Maybe we gave you an option to copy that version number to your clipboard. It’s possible the “Copy” button did nothing at all. One might say we fixed it.
• We discovered that when an update to the app failed, people were still being notified that the update was a success. There is a time and place for “fake it ‘til you make it,” but this was not one of them.

• 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. We’ve unlocked the door, flipped on the overheads and fired up the neon “Open” sign. Come on in and have your pick of all the preferences.
• Some external URLs were occasionally launching within the Slack app window, but will now load in your default web browser, as is proper. Slack cannot have a little web page, even as a treat.

• 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. A little more secure for us, a little more peace of mind for you.
• Certain versions of the app were not correctly changing availability to “Away” after 10 minutes of inactivity. 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. Examples include: walking the dog, catching up after PTO, taking a mental break, or tweeting nice things to the Slack social media team.

• If you had the “Launch app on login” preference selected, we stopped showing a checkmark next to it after the app restarted. Strong systems require checks and balances, and we’re pleased to report ours now has one more check.
• 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. See our full list of nifty keyboard shortcuts by pressing Ctrl + / the next time you have Slack open!

• If you moved the app window between multiple monitors, notifications were slow to appear on the correct screen. After some orange slices and a halftime pep talk, notifications will be sticking with the app wherever it may go.
• Certain menus were not being properly translated when switching languages in the app. You know what they say about menus — they’re most helpful when you can read them.

• Bigger is better, or rather, closer is clearer. We now support additional zoom levels up to 200% to reduce the strain on your precious peepers.
• Previously, you may have expected the “Launch on Login” option to do precisely that when clicked. But sadly it didn’t. Pre-flight checks have been rerun, and we are prepared to initiate countdown once more.
• You can no longer select incoming notifications as a shareable screen when on a Slack Call. To anyone who noticed this was even possible before, we salute your fastidiousness.

• Previously, clicking on a notification in Windows Action Center didn’t bring you to the message in Slack — basically the opposite of walking into a room and forgetting what you came for, but no less confusing.
• Sometimes when the Windows app was launching, it instead decided to hit the Snooze button and just hang there for a while. We gave it a polite talking-to, and it will now be more punctual.

• We improved the restart experience when you’ve gone offline or are having loading issues.
• We all have to sign out sometimes. If you sign out of all of your workspaces, you should have an easier time signing back in.

• We fixed some issues that caused window resizing of Slack to be difficult. We never want to be difficult.

• Sometimes after an update, the Slack icon would disappear from the system tray. We got some stronger glue, so it should now stay put.
• In rare cases, Slack would simply fail to start altogether. While we’re sure we could all use a coffee break, we know you could also use an application that runs. So we fixed that.
• We made the screen you see when you have connection problems more useful. We also spruced it up a bit with a fresh coat of paint.
• Our notifications system sprung a leak, so we brought it in for a tune-up. Everything should be running smoother now.

• Batten down the hatches! The app sandbox is now enabled for all web content. This is a fancy way of saying we’ve dialed up the security of the app. It wasn’t unsafe before, but it’s double safe now.
• A preference that allows you to choose a unique save location per download, instead of choosing a folder for all of them. For the choosy types.
• Your notifications should be tidily grouped by workspace when shown in the Action Center.
• A tricky case where some users were unable to get to the browser to add their first workspace.
• The Launch on login preference showing the wrong value, when the app was installed from the MSI package.
• If you found yourself, in some distant past, trying to start a song on Spotify with your keyboard’s play button, and it did not respond to your command while Slack was front and center, pesky hardware media keys were the problem. And this version is the cure.
• The app should be less spicy to your CPU when you’re viewing certain network error pages.
• When a download completes, we’ll show an in-app prompt rather than a bothersome system notification.

Open the “Language & Region” preferences to choose your languages. And for whoever it is out there requires that functionality: our hats are off to you. We can barely type in one language right now.

• Fixed: Windows Action Center notifications were unable to display certain characters, like < or ‘ for example.
• Fixed: Switching notification types on Windows would cause both types of notifications to be shown until the app was restarted.
• Fixed: On Windows, if users landed on our error page, the main menu wasn’t available, which was an error in itself. The error on the error page is now de-errored.
• Fixed: If you zoom way in or zoom way out, and then open the About Slack window, the About Slack window would also be zoomed way in/out, which was a little intense.
• Fixed: Once in a while, users would receive a flood of notifications for old messages. This was not a bad case of deja vu: it was a bug. And now, a fixed one.

• Slack would sometimes crash when the user right-clicked to see the context menu. In context, that was unhelpful. So it no longer does that.
• When maximized, the app had developed a bit of a distracting flicker. That flicker is now part of Slack history.
• Occasionally, a restart would result in connectivity issues for Slack… now you should be back online and back to work lickety-split.

• Like zooming in and out? Use a numpad? Great news. You can now do these things, on that.
• Notifications looked weird if your workspace name was long. Now, no matter your team name, notifications look lovely.
• Some messages were being marked as read when Slack was hidden behind applications, or not visible on screen. Now we won’t mark it as read until you’ve actually seen it. Which seems fair.

• We added support for Windows 10 Focus Assist priority list. So now our built-in and Action Center notifications will respect your Focus Assist settings, staying as quiet (or as loud) as you want them to be.
• A new menu for the system tray lets you take control of how and when Slack launches on booting up (even, randomly, if you are not signed in to any teams.)
• Receiving a gif in a notification could mess with your notifications.
• Long workspace names now no longer appear as incredibly long in menus.
• Slack menus should now be showing up at the right language (meaning the one that is right for you).
• Spellchecker stopped working for a small count of users, leading to a shorp uptick in avoidabull erratz. With spellcheck now fully back online for those users, any remaining typos are officially not our fault.
• There was a slim chance things weren’t finishing up properly when closing Slack. We’re working on making all this perfect, but in the meantime, it is, at least, better. Restarting when clearing cache now works again.
• No longer do you have to ask “Update.exe? What IS that?”: We now show with our actual name (which is “Slack”, for reference) in Startup entries for Taskmanager and Settings.
• Slack could go into a state where getting notifications (even if you couldn't see them) would prevent you from clicking on the right side of your monitor… at all. Sorry for any understandable frustration this caused — your notifications (and your ability to use your mouse) are now working as intended again.

• Thanks to a few tweaks to the engine, a polish of the pistons, and recalibrated valves, the app should be running smoother and faster, than before.
• Spellcheck, revamped, is now a much better version of its old self (and back on Linux, to boot) — now it supports Greek, Portuguese and British English. So now spelling correctly should come more naturally to us all (which is good, because “correctly” can be a difacult word to spell).
• For a quicker connection, and less frustration, checking for network connectivity is more reliable than it was before.
• After uploading a video into Slack some found it would give an infinite circle of loading, but not play, which was never our plan. Now: it works! It plays; no more circle! Because, it turned out, all circ and no play made Slack a null ‘ploy.

• Videos in channels were found to be the cause of a minor (but pesky) memory leak that has now been well and truly plugged.
• It's taken a few tries, but the app should now crash less often when connected to an external display. Hopefully.
• On opening your computer, the app is now, thankfully, more likely to launch properly every time. And, if you're using the direct download version, you can choose whether that launch is in the background, or front and center.
• We spruced up the notifications a little so now they'll not only show up every time you need them to, they'll show up looking like whatever theme you wear proudly on your sidebar. Neat.
• Now whenever an app update is available, we'll send you a polite little notification to tell you so.
• If you'd become used to opening Slack from a shortcut on your desktop or menu… you'll know that we broke that recently. Sorry about that. It is now unbroken once more.
• While using focus assist in Windows, we'll now assist that focus further, by no longer serving you noisy notifications. Sorry about that.
• Using the alt key to move focus to the menu is great… but was a little over-excitable. Should you tap it by mistake (or otherwise), it will no longer take ALL the focus, and you can continue to do other things.

• Slack is now a tiny bit faster all around, thanks to a bunch of little changes that each made a difference for the better.
• Drag and dropping files into Slack is now much more stable.
• If you ever do need to reset the app's data, it now works better. A bit better, at least.
• We improved team icons alignment in the side bar for those in a lot of workspaces. It's a small thing, but much more aesthetically pleasing.
• Hardware acceleration can now be turned off without foregrounding Slack. If you know what that means, you'll know it's handy. If you don't — it still is! Carry on. And thank you for reading.

• The app was crashing more often than it should have done upon waking. Waking up is hard for all of us, but it shouldn't have been that hard. It now crashes less often than it did, and we're continuing to work toward making that "not at all".

• Just as day follows night and winter gives way to spring, so have we updated Electron to 4.2.1.
• Tweaked the way that push notifications work between desktop and mobile to make them (hopefully) better for everyone. And faster.
• Some minor tweaks to the stability of the app (to make it more stable, to be clear)

• Interactions with network drives are now handled with grace and panache. Or, at the very least, "better".
• If you want to launch slack minimized, you now can. We will no longer stand in your way.
• We've changed the look, feel and texture of our new HTML notifications. Give them a try! They're delicious.
• Sometimes on Windows 10, moving the window, say, up would cause a white bar to appear. We raised the bar.
• Also, moving the window would sometimes change the size of the window. Your aim was true; we no longer move the goalposts on you.
• In the Apps and Features and Uninstall a Program window, the icon showing up was not the right one. It now is.
• The notification and unread indicators on the taskbar are now more readable.
• Blurry icons were an issue for some users with multiple displays. Now all is clear.
• The Slack icon, previously appearing with an opaque background color on Windows 10 is now all the clearer for being less clear.
• Some people were seeing sidebar icons for teams other than the one they were in. This was confusing, and has now stopped.
• And finally, if you have been having issues with keyboard or cursor issues, you should no longer be having them.

• When you sign in, you'll now sign in through the browser rather than within the app.
• We've fixed the tray icon to make the notification badge easier to see, because, let's face it, if you can't see a notification, it's not really doing its job.
• Switching from one channel to another will now give the correct name and information of the new one, rather than the old one, as was previously happening.
• The new loading animation was a little stretched, or a little squished, depending on how you looked at it. It's now practically perfect.
• A few icons in menus went missing on Windows 10, and have now been retrieved.
• Occasionally, the "Open the Slack App" browser button was not opening the workspace in the desktop app. Silly, really. It now does.
• If you use SSO (Single Sign-on) to log in, it should now work perfectly every time.

• Overall stability of the app has been improved, thanks to a clutch of fixes.
• It's very, very useful when you report issues to us, so we've improved the diagnostic tools so that when you do, we can better analyze the issues, and, hopefully, fix them for you faster.
• Some individuals were getting duplicate notifications due to multiple windows being open simultaneously. We’ve fixed this, so no longer will one message create two notifications.
• A slight shift in color profiles in 3.2.0 was causing a flickering between the old and new colors.
• When the thing you're downloading has downloaded, we're now better at telling you so.
• We’ve made tweaks to the checker of spelling, so it can spell check more reliably. It spells it "check". Or "cheque", if checking in British English. In fact, the spellchecker as a whole now works better than ever.
• Links in Slack will now, by default, dependably open in the browser you've chosen as your default browser. Because that's what "default" means! Brilliant.
• Live Tiles, which weren’t updating correctly when pinned, now are.
• Notifications were preventing you from clicking on surrounding windows. This was unbefitting, and a little needy. Click on whatever you need to click on. Don't let us stop you. You know what you're doing.

• A plethora of improvements for the people of Enterprise Grid, including faster quick switching, better proxy support, and direct message draft syncing across multiple workspaces (so whichever workspace you started typing that message in, you can finish in another).
• You can now right-click on Slack in the taskbar to do useful things like jump to a specific workspace, or move Slack to your current display.
• Unread badges, which had been being a little inconsistent, have been given a stern talking to, and promise to be more reliable henceforth.
• Call loading has been improved, as have other general pieces of call performance.
• The workspace sign-in flow has been gently massaged, leading to improved error handling and magic link support.
• Copying an email link will now, as you might expect, copy the email link.
• A clutch of crufty crashes, as hard to explain as they were annoying to experience, have now been completely corrected.
• Notifications on Windows 7 machines without graphics acceleration hardware can now be used once again.
• We closed first our left eye, then our right, and can confirm that the text in this new version is a little bit sharper for some Windows users.
• Applications launched by Slack (when, say, clicking a link) will no longer inherit Slack’s environment variables.

• We’re using a new font for Japanese. It’s clearer, more legible, and goes well with aubergine. (Which is the default color of your sidebar. As well as a vegetable.)
• Sometimes Slack takes too long to start up. If that happens, a) we’re sorry that it does, but b) you’ll now see a link with some helpful troubleshooting ideas.
• When a file’s done downloading, a new notification will dutifully let you know.
• If you’ve asked Slack to launch right when your computer turns on, Slack now does so much more quietly — with less extraneous loading screen action, and fewer fanfares.
• For Windows 10 users, we now offer the option to disable hardware acceleration. If you’re seeing glitchy graphics and other unpleasantness, try toggling this option to on.
• Badges about unread messages would linger on the dock icon, even after said messages had been read. These badges will linger no more.
• Slack would occasionally crash when it wasn’t allowed to put files in the Temp folder. Now, it will simply use the Downloads folder, instead.
• Some users who clicked on a magic link were not taken to their workspace. We have set our cauldrons to a slow simmer and magic links should now work as expected.
• When trying to connect via a proxy, Slack no longer refuses to load.
• Sometimes, during a support conversation, we’d ask you to reset your app data with the click of a button. Clicking this button will now actually reset all the necessary data, rather than some. Which is good for everyone.
• Now you can download a file from Slack, delete it, and then download it again. If that seems like the way the Slack should’ve always worked, well, you aren’t wrong.
• Right clicking “something” and choosing “Search with Google” had a tendency to search for “so”, “me”, or “thing.” It will now search for the entire text. So if you really do want to Google “something” (or something else), we’ll have your back.
• Images sometimes were appearing in notifications, contrary to the wishes of those who had chosen to hide message previews. This is now fixed, your wishes respected.
• Clicking the close, minimize, and maximize buttons would occasionally do nothing at all. You can now close, minimize, or, preferably, maximize Slack.
• If you dismiss a tooltip, it will leave promptly and politely.
• Previously, Slack would override a system’s TEMP variable. If you know what that means, know now that it is fixed.
• Some anti-virus software had become overly suspicious of Slack. We are not a virus, and we’ll do better about letting your anti-virus software know.
• If you’ve chosen to disable hardware acceleration, we’ll also put the brakes on a few other visual flourishes, particularly around notifications. This decelerates the desirable parts further, making the worse things better and the people happier.

• On some Windows 7 systems, Slack kept Windows from shutting down without making a fuss. It’ll now let your system shut down in peace.
• When Windows had trouble showing your notification, Slack would panic and crash. It’ll stop doing that.
• An important security update. Security updates are always important. This is one of those.

• When you’re in a lot of workspaces, the app now uses much less memory, and starting up is faster, to boot.
• And flipping between those workspaces is now faster. Not super-sonic, but certainly somewhere between a jiffy and lickety-split.
• We shunted the sign-in page out of the app — it's now rerouted to a new window, for reasons of reliability.
• A new-fangled lock badge subtly lets you know which workspaces you're currently signed out of. Or of which you're currently signed out. Either way.
• Our start up screen, spruced-up and slimmed-down, is worth a gander — as is the helpful way that dates now stick to the top of a channel while scrolling through messages. Though if you don't notice them, but quietly feel a little bit happier for reasons you can't put your finger on, that's cool too.
• It’s been a long time coming but brings us joy to say: 100% less reloading during drag and drop. How much? 100%. That's all the percents, people. Sorry about the previous frustration.
• For those encountering a screen claiming "Something’s not working", it turns out the main thing not working was this screen: it is no more.
• If you kept the app running for a long time, you might be on the receiving end of two consecutive updates. Now good things come to those who wait, one-at-a-time, as is proper.
• The sidebar now scoots considerately out of the way when viewing full-screen video.
• We fixed exiting full-screen video when pressing the aptly-named “Escape” key.
• The blackout caused by a window being closed while full-screen, with one request confoundingly eclipsing the other, has been sunsetted.
• Found: One missing Ctrl-1 / Cmd-1 hotkey. Please call 1-800-SLACKME to claim. Don't actually call that. It doesn't do anything. Unlike the hotkey (now).
• For the Windows Store folks: say howdy to genuine auto-launch support.
• Remedied: A crash on Windows 10 when an Action Center notification contained special characters.
• Speaking of notifications, we ferreted out a few cases where sounds were not playing or profile images were missing, and righted them.
• If you connected a secondary display, then later disconnected it only to find Slack missing offscreen, you’re in luck. This version is less jumpy.
• And finally, sometimes selecting text in the search box would move the window around. You could say… it was a bit of a drag.

• Slack is now fully available in French, Spanish and German, down to the very last emoji, you’ll find the options in Preferences > Language & Region.
• Also, we added support for a brand new way of working with external companies from within Slack.
• AND a whole new way of handling name tagging in order to handle the exciting world of challenges brought by the two things above.
• All mentions of “team” have been changed to “workspace” when referring to the app, though not when referring to the people in it. You create a workspace. You invite people from your team. Simple!
• You can now configure the language used by the spellchecker in Preferences to be the language you wish to spell correctly.
• You can now configure your delivery method of choice for notifications (build-in, Action Center, Action Center Abbreviated), in addition to being able to configure the position of those notifications (again)
• Fixed: A few rare crashes when making a call and/or screen sharing on a call are now, we believe, on the brink of extinction - or possibly, we hope, gone forever.
• Fixed: An issue where the app would hang if your OS reported that you were in certain timezones.
• Fixed: You may have been running into a `Something's Not Working` screen when waking your computer from sleep. Turns out the thing not working was that. So we fixed it.
• Fixed: Windows Action Center notifications were bright red for some reason: they are now less red.
• Fixed: Notification sounds would sometimes play twice. Notification sounds will no longer play twice.

• Ding. Ba-dum tsss. Plink. Boing. Hummus. We know you've been missing all of these sounds, so we wrote them down for you. The app should play them more often now, too.

• File downloads are now pausable and – in perhaps a master stroke of matchmaking – resumable too.
• A bevy of changes to make the app more keyboard navigable.
• We’ve adjusted the app icon, but just a skosh. Putting our best foot forward.
• Should the worst happen and the app fail to load, you'll see a less dreadful error page and perhaps even a code you can share.
• On Windows 7, notifications have been made more reliable, at the expense of a preference: you’ll no longer be able to customize their position on-screen.
• On Windows 10, we’ve negotiated a truce between notifications and your antivirus. This will keep notifications appearing in a timely manner. They’ll play whatever sound you’ve told them to play more reliably, too.
• The team sidebar is no longer touch-challenged. Tap, flick, and drag teams to your heart’s content.
• Cancelling a running download is 38% less crashy. For when you decide you didn’t need that third gif after all.
• We spliced some wires we shouldn’t have, causing a loading screen to flash briefly after signing into a team. Now it’s as it should be.
• Those little white dots in the team sidebar that let you know when you have messages to read? They’re no longer obscured when the app is maximized.

• The certificate used by Windows to confirm that Slack is truly from Slack expires on September 14, 2017. Since Slack is 100% from Slack, and it would be ridiculous to think otherwise, we got it re-certified. That's literally all that's changed.
