Bug Fixes
- 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.

Bug Fixes
- No big fixes to call out this week, but rest assured, there will be more in the future. Not that introducing bugs is our aim, of course. But missteps, adjustments, errors, and corrections — these are the rhythms of life and the price of growth. We hope you’re enjoying the ride, no matter where you happen to find yourself at present.

Bug Fixes
- Don’t mind us — just making a few small adjustments to keep the app in tip-top shape. More to come soon. Cheerio!

Bug Fixes
- Thanks for updating the app! This round’s changes don’t lend themselves to tidy summaries, but we’re doing all that we can to make sure the app is running as smoothly as possible. Here’s to incremental gains!

Bug Fixes
- Is it something in the air? A certain je ne sais quoi that’s hard to put a finger on? The world seems brighter, music sounds sweeter ... what could it be? The Slack app has been updated, and we can neither confirm nor deny we’re responsible for any lightness that descends upon you.

Bug Fixes
- Everything is an itty-bitty bit better than it was before. Trust us.

Bug Fixes
- We tidied the shelves, cleaned the windows and ran a white-gloved finger over every flat surface. Just a little routine maintenance to ensure that everything is shipshape. Full steam ahead!

Bug Fixes
- Hard work is happening this week, but nothing we can easily describe. It’s like a duck swimming on a pond. Under the water, the duck is paddling furiously, but on top all that can be seen is the gentle gliding of a bird on water. This week, Slack is the duck.

Bug Fixes
- Bugs were squashed, performance was improved, work was done, and the result was good. Please enjoy Slack responsibly.

Bug Fixes
- All bugs that were fixed in this release were too small for the eye to see or too fiddly for human words to describe. Nevertheless, work was done, things tinkered with and the app became subtly better.

Bug Fixes
- A little reminder as you go about your day: The world is a more unique place simply because you’re a part of it, and you’ve affected others in ways you can’t imagine. Oh, and no big changes to the app this time. Happy messaging!

Bug Fixes
- This week’s is not a huge update, but let that not convince you it’s unimportant. They can’t all be red-letter days (or updates), but each day we’re here is a good one. This update is a good one too.

Bug Fixes
- Like a runner steadily improving their split times, this update is the sort that’s less showy but no less important. You’ll find the app a little faster, a little leaner, a little closer to the goal.

Bug Fixes
- We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. Everything is now running smoothly again.

Bug Fixes
- We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was.

Bug Fixes
- Those using a high-contrast theme at the system level (Windows Settings > Accessibility > Contrast Themes) noted that Slack was not following suit, even when the app was set to mirror system settings. The app is now better at taking direction, in contrast to how it was previously behaving.

Security Guidance
• This release includes significant security improvements. Updating is strongly recommended.

What's New
• On Sept. 1, we’ll be deprecating support for some older operating systems and outdated versions of Slack. Please visit our Help Center to get all the details: https://slack.com/help/articles/115002037526-System-requirements-for-using-Slack

Bug Fixes
• 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.

Security Guidance
• This release includes minor security improvements. Updating is beneficial.

What's New
• 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

Bug Fixes
• 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.

Security Guidance
• This release includes minor security improvements. Updating is beneficial.

Bug Fixes
• 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.

Bug Fixes
• We tweaked some things too small to notice or too difficult to explain. We’ll return you to your regular, more interesting types of release next time (we hope).

Bug Fixes
• We tuned up the engine and gave the interiors a thorough clean. Everything is now running smoothly again.
