Slack for Windows 歷史版本列表
更新時間：2019-11-26
更新細節：
What's new in this version:
Slack for Windows 4.2.0
New:
- Our newest, fastest, best-performing, shiniest, most nutritious and delicious version of Slack is now fully rolled out, so that’s the one you’re now using. Brilliant.
- Like zooming in and out? Use a numpad? Great news. You can now do these things, on that
Bug Fixes:
- 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.
Slack for Windows 4.1.2
New:
- 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)
Bug Fixes:
- 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
Slack for Windows 4.1.1
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 4.1.0
New:
- 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 difficult word to spell)
Bug Fixes:
- 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!
Slack for Windows 4.0.2
Bug Fixes:
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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 for Windows 4.0.1
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 3.4.3
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 3.4.2
Bug Fixes:
- 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
- Occasionally, Slack would crash when waking up from sleep., because change is hard. This is no longer the case
Slack for Windows 3.4.1
- Bug Fixes: we’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was
Slack for Windows 3.3.8
New:
- When you sign in, you'll now sign in through the browser rather than within the app
Bug Fixes:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.3.7
Bug Fixes:
- Users signing in with Single Sign-On would see the same message twice when logging in
- Users signing in with Single Sign-On would see the same message twice when logging in. This will not happen any more
- When trying to select a portion of a code-formatted block of text (text formatted with ` or ``` at either end), some characters were proving slippery and hard to select. You can now copy and paste to your heart's content
- Several random, rare crashes — on launch and at other times — have been eliminated. More random and rare crashes inevitably exist, of course, and as soon as we know what they are, we'll eliminate those too
- The full screen shortcut was mistakenly listed as ‘Ctrl+F’ instead of ‘Ctrl+Shift+F’ in the "View" menu. We both apologize for this and hope that, because of it, someone out there discovered 'Ctrl+F' as a useful shortcut for searching the channel that you're in. Always look on the bright side of bugs
Slack for Windows 3.3.6
- From today, you'll notice a shiny new app button that matches our new logo. You can read more about it on our blog at SlackHQ.com
Slack for Windows 3.3.3
- All updates are important, of course. This one contains security updates, and as we know, they’re the most important kind of all
Slack for Windows 3.3.1
- Bug Fixes: We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was
Slack for Windows 3.3.0
New:
- 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
Bug Fixes:
- 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

- Applications launched by Slack (when, say, clicking a link) will no longer inherit Slack’s environment variables
Slack for Windows 3.1.1
- Bug Fixes: We got so excited about your emoji we kept requesting them, particularly at the moment you switched channels. This caused all manner of slowness. We've since bottled our enthusiasm, and now request emoji exactly one (1) time
Slack for Windows 3.1.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.0.5
- Bug Fixes: Another important security update. See? We told you they were all important
Slack for Windows 3.0.3
Bug Fixes:
- 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.
Slack for Windows 3.0.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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)
- And finally, sometimes selecting text in the search box would move the window around. You could say… it was a bit of a drag
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.8.2
- A small release containing nothing but another Electron update, this one better than the last
Slack for Windows 2.8.1
- Previously in Slack app releases: we fixed the Japanese input in 2.6.3. Then we re-broke it in 2.8.0. And now it’s fixed again. Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment
- Added bonus: An Electron update improving security. A precautionary measure, but it’s always good to be up to date
Slack for Windows 2.8.0
What's New:
- Support for a top secret, very hush-hush, highly classified and very exciting new feature that we wish we could call by name, but we cannot
- 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:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.7.1
Fixed:
- You're nearly finished signing in when suddenly – bonk – you're brought back to the first page. Hey, what gives? Please accept our apologies and, in this version, 100% less bonking
WINDOWS 10:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.7.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.6.5
- 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.
Slack for Windows 2.6.3
- Fixed: Sometimes if you changed networks, we used to rouse from sleep in a bit of a daze, greeting you with a blank screen. Now, we awaken bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Or at the very least, with your team displayed
- Fixed: Where, in rare cases, some external links didn't end up pointing to the right place when you clicked them, they now do
- Fixed: Video playback should now be much smoother, and nicer to your network
- Fixed: On certain keyboard layouts, hitting backspace didn't actually delete the last character, which was a surprise, but a surprise of the lesser kind - there is now one fewer lesser surprise
Slack for Windows 2.6.2
- Fixed: Unexplainably, context menus and spell-check stopped working in some teams. OK: we have an explanation but we'd rather not discuss it. It's embarrassing. Rest easy knowing that it's fixed here
Slack for Windows 2.6.0
What's New:
- We revamped video calls, making the experience more intuitive, and more attractive. As a bonus, they're more resource efficient and now let you change audio devices during a call. If that's the kind of thing you need to do.
- Remove thine shackles from thine eyes, and behold: gloriously legible text, regardless of your display scaling!
- We'll no longer clear notifications from the Action Center automatically, but if you're on the Windows Creators Update we'll bundle them up so that it's easier for you to do.
Fixed:
- A rare bug that turned Slack into a process hydra: receiving notifications or switching channels would spawn new processes seemingly without end.
- The Launch on login preference should be more reliable this time around (for the technically inclined: it now uses the registry instead of a Startup shortcut).
- We paved over a series of potholes that were strewn about the app, making crashes far less likely.
- Should you ever wish to say goodbye to one of your teams, a right-click > Remove from the sidebar will do the trick now more reliably than before.
- Switching teams using the numbered shortcuts is noticeably faster. We would say "37%" if we were forced to put a number on it. Fortunately, we aren't, and we won't.
- Opening a context menu won't freeze videos or gifs playing in the app.
- We dusted off the cobwebs in the app menu and composted a few menu items that weren't useful when signed into one team.
- The default window size is a smidgen larger. You won't notice, because your window will keep being the same size it's always been. That's just the way it is, and we don't want it to change.
- Our spellchecker would occasionally mark correctly spelled words as incorrect. It had ONE job. It now performs it.
- With surgical precision, we cut out the frame border that appeared when the app window was maximized.
Slack for Windows 2.5.2
- We made the act of signing in more reliable for teams using SSO
- It transpired that folks who downloaded our installer from slack.com were added to the beta program. If you wanted to be in the beta, you would have said so
- For the times when Slack just... doesn't: try Help > Clear Cache and Restart. It has all the nougaty goodness of Reset App Data, without the stale aftertaste of losing your teams
Slack for Windows 2.5.1
What's New:
- We tried to imagine a centralized location that made it easy to put Slack onto a bunch of Windows computers all at once. Then realised we were imagining the Windows Store. So we put the app in there instead. It made so much more sense
- The way we load teams you don’t view often has been changed to improve the memory footprint of the app. One day, it will be a pitter patter of tiny footprints. For now, it’s a tad slower, a little less hefty, and a lot more attractive. Think “brontosaurus in a nice hat.”
- Folks consistently unable to load the app will now be greeted by a troubleshooting page that offers suggestions on making their situation better. (Spoiler: it's usually to do with over-zealous antivirus software)
- Those pasting text with style into a Post then finding their text to have "no style" can now Paste & Match Style under the Edit menu
- You can see our Help Center documentation in – of all places – the Help menu. The almost over-intuitively named Open Help Center item will be your friend
- Spellcheck support for three (세!) additional languages; writers of Korean, Portugese (Brazilian), and Albanian type a little easier
Fixed:
- Waking Slack after hibernation or a system crash occasionally found all your teams missing. Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience; it no longer should
- Some bold explorers moved their user profile off of the default drive (C:) and started the app to find nothing but a cryptic error message. We weren't prepared for this boldness, but have since girded our loins. Fine, explorers: Set your profiles free
- A rare bug where team icons shuffled out of formation in the sidebar. They're more stoic and sticky and as a bonus, rearranging them is smoother
- On Windows, a handful of zoom-based glitches: borders inappropriately sized, taskbars jumping around. All of that? Smoothed
- Customers typing in languages that use IME composition (Korean, for example) will find that the message input is 82% stickier
- In a truly McGyver maneuver, we applied an additional layer of duct tape around Windows 10 notifications. Literal duct tape. Ask no questions
Slack for Windows 2.4.1
What's New:
- The shades of gray in our menu bar were so 1992 — they didn't match any of our outfits. So: we went shopping for a new window frame. This one matches your theme, and comes with a free hamburger menu!
- We discovered that removing a bunch of unnecessary processes improved app startup time. Who knew? Less really is more. Or at least, less is more-faster. Or should that be fewer? Whatever: It's better
- We simplified the way we remember your teams and app settings. This shouldn't affect much, aside from some bugs wherein we forgot your teams or app settings, which are now fixed
- For the savvy troubleshooter, a new tool: Help > Show Logs in Explorer will package up some app diagnostic files, should you ever need them
Fixed:
- Our zoom levels now match the Chrome browser, so you should feel right at home (so long as your home is Chrome)
- An infrequent crash when quitting the app has been dispatched
- A slightly more frequent crash while checking for updates; eliminated
- Signing out of teams from the right-click menu is 46.8% more reliable
- And finally, if you had multiple displays, new windows (such as a call or a Post) would appear on the primary display instead of the display that Slack was on. Rather than submit this to a physics journal for peer review, we decided to fix it. All is as it should be
Slack for Windows 2.3.4
- Fixed: There was a small bug in Calls. We don’t think you saw it, but we fixed it anyway
Slack for Windows 2.3.3
Fixed:
- Window zoom jumping back and forth? No longer–we locked it down and threw away the key
- Some folks on Windows 10 were beset by lag when switching channels, making the app unresponsive in the best case and altogether frozen in the worst. This update should thaw them out
Slack for Windows 2.3.2
New:
- Signing into a new team now gets the same pleasantly clear-eyed full screen treatment as our other dialogs
- You're now able to approve deep links from other apps. And then, with a full heart (and a click of your magical computer arrow) open them
- Notifications will show up on time, every time. Can't lose
Fixed:
- If you're using NTLM or basic authentication to sign into a team, you'll be relieved to find that your credentials work. Good as new!
- Opening Slack from a Slack-flavored link (say, a magic login email) is 100% more reliable
- The window should flash when set to Idle and you receive a notification, even if you've stashed it in the tray
- Some folks were hearing the default system notification sound in addition to the sound from the app, and it wasn't just their imagination. This was confounding, and we took it out
- If you don't have a team icon set, we instead show the initials of your team name in the sidebar. Astute observers noticed that those initials were too bright when the team was not selected, and (gasp) they didn't support Unicode characters, such as emoji. All of this has been made right
- Switching teams using the quick-switcher works every time. Promise
- We turned Dropbox imports upside down, shook out a few bugs, then put them right-side up again
- Several folks mentioned that our zoom levels were not fine-grained enough. So, we made them match Chrome! You should feel right at home
Slack for Windows 2.2.1
What's New:
- Rather than reloading the whole app, View > Reload now reloads just your current team. We're pretty sure that's what you meant.
- What is that beacon of pure white light? Oh! It's the Windows 10 Action Center, with the rubbish–err, notifications–taken out. Whenever you switch channels, we'll dismiss notifications in that channel from the Action Center.
- Use Help > Report Issue to send feedback or file a bug. It attaches your log files automatically, because who has the time for attachments?
- So, you want to memorize every hotkey? Of course. Consult our ever-expanding cheatsheet, now available from Help > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Fixed:
- Blank white apps as a result of network troubles should be a rare circumstance. It was rare before, but now it's like, extinct. Or endangered. One of those.
- Launching the app from the Windows command prompt should work more reliably. Before it was, well... we don't want to talk about it.

更新細節：
What's new in this version:
Slack for Windows 4.1.2
New:
- 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)
Bug Fixes:
- 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
Slack for Windows 4.1.1
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 4.1.0
New:
- 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 difficult word to spell)
Bug Fixes:
- 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!
Slack for Windows 4.0.2
Bug Fixes:
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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 for Windows 4.0.1
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 3.4.3
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 3.4.2
Bug Fixes:
- 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
- Occasionally, Slack would crash when waking up from sleep., because change is hard. This is no longer the case
Slack for Windows 3.4.1
- Bug Fixes: we’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was
Slack for Windows 3.3.8
New:
- When you sign in, you'll now sign in through the browser rather than within the app
Bug Fixes:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.3.7
Bug Fixes:
- Users signing in with Single Sign-On would see the same message twice when logging in
- Users signing in with Single Sign-On would see the same message twice when logging in. This will not happen any more
- When trying to select a portion of a code-formatted block of text (text formatted with ` or ``` at either end), some characters were proving slippery and hard to select. You can now copy and paste to your heart's content
- Several random, rare crashes — on launch and at other times — have been eliminated. More random and rare crashes inevitably exist, of course, and as soon as we know what they are, we'll eliminate those too
- The full screen shortcut was mistakenly listed as ‘Ctrl+F’ instead of ‘Ctrl+Shift+F’ in the "View" menu. We both apologize for this and hope that, because of it, someone out there discovered 'Ctrl+F' as a useful shortcut for searching the channel that you're in. Always look on the bright side of bugs
Slack for Windows 3.3.6
- From today, you'll notice a shiny new app button that matches our new logo. You can read more about it on our blog at SlackHQ.com
Slack for Windows 3.3.3
- All updates are important, of course. This one contains security updates, and as we know, they’re the most important kind of all
Slack for Windows 3.3.1
- Bug Fixes: We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was
Slack for Windows 3.3.0
New:
- 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
Bug Fixes:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.2.0
New:
- 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

- 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
Slack for Windows 3.1.1
- Bug Fixes: We got so excited about your emoji we kept requesting them, particularly at the moment you switched channels. This caused all manner of slowness. We've since bottled our enthusiasm, and now request emoji exactly one (1) time
Slack for Windows 3.1.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.0.5
- Bug Fixes: Another important security update. See? We told you they were all important
Slack for Windows 3.0.3
Bug Fixes:
- 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.
Slack for Windows 3.0.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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)
- And finally, sometimes selecting text in the search box would move the window around. You could say… it was a bit of a drag
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.8.2
- A small release containing nothing but another Electron update, this one better than the last
Slack for Windows 2.8.1
- Previously in Slack app releases: we fixed the Japanese input in 2.6.3. Then we re-broke it in 2.8.0. And now it’s fixed again. Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment
- Added bonus: An Electron update improving security. A precautionary measure, but it’s always good to be up to date
Slack for Windows 2.8.0
What's New:
- Support for a top secret, very hush-hush, highly classified and very exciting new feature that we wish we could call by name, but we cannot
- 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:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.7.1
Fixed:
- You're nearly finished signing in when suddenly – bonk – you're brought back to the first page. Hey, what gives? Please accept our apologies and, in this version, 100% less bonking
WINDOWS 10:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.7.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.6.5
- 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.
Slack for Windows 2.6.3
- Fixed: Sometimes if you changed networks, we used to rouse from sleep in a bit of a daze, greeting you with a blank screen. Now, we awaken bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Or at the very least, with your team displayed
- Fixed: Where, in rare cases, some external links didn't end up pointing to the right place when you clicked them, they now do
- Fixed: Video playback should now be much smoother, and nicer to your network
- Fixed: On certain keyboard layouts, hitting backspace didn't actually delete the last character, which was a surprise, but a surprise of the lesser kind - there is now one fewer lesser surprise
Slack for Windows 2.6.2
- Fixed: Unexplainably, context menus and spell-check stopped working in some teams. OK: we have an explanation but we'd rather not discuss it. It's embarrassing. Rest easy knowing that it's fixed here
Slack for Windows 2.6.0
What's New:
- We revamped video calls, making the experience more intuitive, and more attractive. As a bonus, they're more resource efficient and now let you change audio devices during a call. If that's the kind of thing you need to do.
- Remove thine shackles from thine eyes, and behold: gloriously legible text, regardless of your display scaling!
- We'll no longer clear notifications from the Action Center automatically, but if you're on the Windows Creators Update we'll bundle them up so that it's easier for you to do.
Fixed:
- A rare bug that turned Slack into a process hydra: receiving notifications or switching channels would spawn new processes seemingly without end.
- The Launch on login preference should be more reliable this time around (for the technically inclined: it now uses the registry instead of a Startup shortcut).
- We paved over a series of potholes that were strewn about the app, making crashes far less likely.
- Should you ever wish to say goodbye to one of your teams, a right-click > Remove from the sidebar will do the trick now more reliably than before.
- Switching teams using the numbered shortcuts is noticeably faster. We would say "37%" if we were forced to put a number on it. Fortunately, we aren't, and we won't.
- Opening a context menu won't freeze videos or gifs playing in the app.
- We dusted off the cobwebs in the app menu and composted a few menu items that weren't useful when signed into one team.
- The default window size is a smidgen larger. You won't notice, because your window will keep being the same size it's always been. That's just the way it is, and we don't want it to change.
- Our spellchecker would occasionally mark correctly spelled words as incorrect. It had ONE job. It now performs it.
- With surgical precision, we cut out the frame border that appeared when the app window was maximized.
Slack for Windows 2.5.2
- We made the act of signing in more reliable for teams using SSO
- It transpired that folks who downloaded our installer from slack.com were added to the beta program. If you wanted to be in the beta, you would have said so
- For the times when Slack just... doesn't: try Help > Clear Cache and Restart. It has all the nougaty goodness of Reset App Data, without the stale aftertaste of losing your teams
Slack for Windows 2.5.1
What's New:
- We tried to imagine a centralized location that made it easy to put Slack onto a bunch of Windows computers all at once. Then realised we were imagining the Windows Store. So we put the app in there instead. It made so much more sense
- The way we load teams you don’t view often has been changed to improve the memory footprint of the app. One day, it will be a pitter patter of tiny footprints. For now, it’s a tad slower, a little less hefty, and a lot more attractive. Think “brontosaurus in a nice hat.”
- Folks consistently unable to load the app will now be greeted by a troubleshooting page that offers suggestions on making their situation better. (Spoiler: it's usually to do with over-zealous antivirus software)
- Those pasting text with style into a Post then finding their text to have "no style" can now Paste & Match Style under the Edit menu
- You can see our Help Center documentation in – of all places – the Help menu. The almost over-intuitively named Open Help Center item will be your friend
- Spellcheck support for three (세!) additional languages; writers of Korean, Portugese (Brazilian), and Albanian type a little easier
Fixed:
- Waking Slack after hibernation or a system crash occasionally found all your teams missing. Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience; it no longer should
- Some bold explorers moved their user profile off of the default drive (C:) and started the app to find nothing but a cryptic error message. We weren't prepared for this boldness, but have since girded our loins. Fine, explorers: Set your profiles free
- A rare bug where team icons shuffled out of formation in the sidebar. They're more stoic and sticky and as a bonus, rearranging them is smoother
- On Windows, a handful of zoom-based glitches: borders inappropriately sized, taskbars jumping around. All of that? Smoothed
- Customers typing in languages that use IME composition (Korean, for example) will find that the message input is 82% stickier
- In a truly McGyver maneuver, we applied an additional layer of duct tape around Windows 10 notifications. Literal duct tape. Ask no questions
Slack for Windows 2.4.1
What's New:
- The shades of gray in our menu bar were so 1992 — they didn't match any of our outfits. So: we went shopping for a new window frame. This one matches your theme, and comes with a free hamburger menu!
- We discovered that removing a bunch of unnecessary processes improved app startup time. Who knew? Less really is more. Or at least, less is more-faster. Or should that be fewer? Whatever: It's better
- We simplified the way we remember your teams and app settings. This shouldn't affect much, aside from some bugs wherein we forgot your teams or app settings, which are now fixed
- For the savvy troubleshooter, a new tool: Help > Show Logs in Explorer will package up some app diagnostic files, should you ever need them
Fixed:
- Our zoom levels now match the Chrome browser, so you should feel right at home (so long as your home is Chrome)
- An infrequent crash when quitting the app has been dispatched
- A slightly more frequent crash while checking for updates; eliminated
- Signing out of teams from the right-click menu is 46.8% more reliable
- And finally, if you had multiple displays, new windows (such as a call or a Post) would appear on the primary display instead of the display that Slack was on. Rather than submit this to a physics journal for peer review, we decided to fix it. All is as it should be
Slack for Windows 2.3.4
- Fixed: There was a small bug in Calls. We don’t think you saw it, but we fixed it anyway
Slack for Windows 2.3.3
Fixed:
- Window zoom jumping back and forth? No longer–we locked it down and threw away the key
- Some folks on Windows 10 were beset by lag when switching channels, making the app unresponsive in the best case and altogether frozen in the worst. This update should thaw them out
Slack for Windows 2.3.2
New:
- Signing into a new team now gets the same pleasantly clear-eyed full screen treatment as our other dialogs
- You're now able to approve deep links from other apps. And then, with a full heart (and a click of your magical computer arrow) open them
- Notifications will show up on time, every time. Can't lose
Fixed:
- If you're using NTLM or basic authentication to sign into a team, you'll be relieved to find that your credentials work. Good as new!
- Opening Slack from a Slack-flavored link (say, a magic login email) is 100% more reliable
- The window should flash when set to Idle and you receive a notification, even if you've stashed it in the tray
- Some folks were hearing the default system notification sound in addition to the sound from the app, and it wasn't just their imagination. This was confounding, and we took it out
- If you don't have a team icon set, we instead show the initials of your team name in the sidebar. Astute observers noticed that those initials were too bright when the team was not selected, and (gasp) they didn't support Unicode characters, such as emoji. All of this has been made right
- Switching teams using the quick-switcher works every time. Promise
- We turned Dropbox imports upside down, shook out a few bugs, then put them right-side up again
- Several folks mentioned that our zoom levels were not fine-grained enough. So, we made them match Chrome! You should feel right at home
Slack for Windows 2.2.1
What's New:
- Rather than reloading the whole app, View > Reload now reloads just your current team. We're pretty sure that's what you meant.
- What is that beacon of pure white light? Oh! It's the Windows 10 Action Center, with the rubbish–err, notifications–taken out. Whenever you switch channels, we'll dismiss notifications in that channel from the Action Center.
- Use Help > Report Issue to send feedback or file a bug. It attaches your log files automatically, because who has the time for attachments?
- So, you want to memorize every hotkey? Of course. Consult our ever-expanding cheatsheet, now available from Help > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Fixed:
- Blank white apps as a result of network troubles should be a rare circumstance. It was rare before, but now it's like, extinct. Or endangered. One of those.
- Launching the app from the Windows command prompt should work more reliably. Before it was, well... we don't want to talk about it.
更新時間：2019-10-22

- Mailspring now displays unread mail notifications reliably, fixing a race-condition that occurred when new messages were synced too fast
- You can now re-order your email acccounts via drag and drop in Preferences > Accounts

更新時間：2019-10-13
更新細節：
What's new in this version:
Slack for Windows 4.1.1
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 4.1.0
New:
- 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 difficult word to spell)
Bug Fixes:
- 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!
Slack for Windows 4.0.2
Bug Fixes:
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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 for Windows 4.0.1
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 3.4.3
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 3.4.2
Bug Fixes:
- 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
- Occasionally, Slack would crash when waking up from sleep., because change is hard. This is no longer the case
Slack for Windows 3.4.1
- Bug Fixes: we’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was
Slack for Windows 3.3.8
New:
- When you sign in, you'll now sign in through the browser rather than within the app
Bug Fixes:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.3.7
Bug Fixes:
- Users signing in with Single Sign-On would see the same message twice when logging in
- Users signing in with Single Sign-On would see the same message twice when logging in. This will not happen any more
- When trying to select a portion of a code-formatted block of text (text formatted with ` or ``` at either end), some characters were proving slippery and hard to select. You can now copy and paste to your heart's content
- Several random, rare crashes — on launch and at other times — have been eliminated. More random and rare crashes inevitably exist, of course, and as soon as we know what they are, we'll eliminate those too
- The full screen shortcut was mistakenly listed as ‘Ctrl+F’ instead of ‘Ctrl+Shift+F’ in the "View" menu. We both apologize for this and hope that, because of it, someone out there discovered 'Ctrl+F' as a useful shortcut for searching the channel that you're in. Always look on the bright side of bugs
Slack for Windows 3.3.6
- From today, you'll notice a shiny new app button that matches our new logo. You can read more about it on our blog at SlackHQ.com
Slack for Windows 3.3.3
- All updates are important, of course. This one contains security updates, and as we know, they’re the most important kind of all
Slack for Windows 3.3.1
- Bug Fixes: We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was
Slack for Windows 3.3.0
New:
- 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
Bug Fixes:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.2.0
New:
- 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
Bug Fixes:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.1.1
- Bug Fixes: We got so excited about your emoji we kept requesting them, particularly at the moment you switched channels. This caused all manner of slowness. We've since bottled our enthusiasm, and now request emoji exactly one (1) time
Slack for Windows 3.1.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.0.5
- Bug Fixes: Another important security update. See? We told you they were all important
Slack for Windows 3.0.3
Bug Fixes:
- 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.
Slack for Windows 3.0.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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)
- And finally, sometimes selecting text in the search box would move the window around. You could say… it was a bit of a drag
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.8.2
- A small release containing nothing but another Electron update, this one better than the last
Slack for Windows 2.8.1
- Previously in Slack app releases: we fixed the Japanese input in 2.6.3. Then we re-broke it in 2.8.0. And now it’s fixed again. Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment
- Added bonus: An Electron update improving security. A precautionary measure, but it’s always good to be up to date
Slack for Windows 2.8.0
What's New:
- Support for a top secret, very hush-hush, highly classified and very exciting new feature that we wish we could call by name, but we cannot
- 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:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.7.1
Fixed:
- You're nearly finished signing in when suddenly – bonk – you're brought back to the first page. Hey, what gives? Please accept our apologies and, in this version, 100% less bonking
WINDOWS 10:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.7.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.6.5
- 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.
Slack for Windows 2.6.3
- Fixed: Sometimes if you changed networks, we used to rouse from sleep in a bit of a daze, greeting you with a blank screen. Now, we awaken bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Or at the very least, with your team displayed
- Fixed: Where, in rare cases, some external links didn't end up pointing to the right place when you clicked them, they now do
- Fixed: Video playback should now be much smoother, and nicer to your network
- Fixed: On certain keyboard layouts, hitting backspace didn't actually delete the last character, which was a surprise, but a surprise of the lesser kind - there is now one fewer lesser surprise
Slack for Windows 2.6.2
- Fixed: Unexplainably, context menus and spell-check stopped working in some teams. OK: we have an explanation but we'd rather not discuss it. It's embarrassing. Rest easy knowing that it's fixed here
Slack for Windows 2.6.0
What's New:
- We revamped video calls, making the experience more intuitive, and more attractive. As a bonus, they're more resource efficient and now let you change audio devices during a call. If that's the kind of thing you need to do.
- Remove thine shackles from thine eyes, and behold: gloriously legible text, regardless of your display scaling!
- We'll no longer clear notifications from the Action Center automatically, but if you're on the Windows Creators Update we'll bundle them up so that it's easier for you to do.
Fixed:
- A rare bug that turned Slack into a process hydra: receiving notifications or switching channels would spawn new processes seemingly without end.
- The Launch on login preference should be more reliable this time around (for the technically inclined: it now uses the registry instead of a Startup shortcut).
- We paved over a series of potholes that were strewn about the app, making crashes far less likely.
- Should you ever wish to say goodbye to one of your teams, a right-click > Remove from the sidebar will do the trick now more reliably than before.
- Switching teams using the numbered shortcuts is noticeably faster. We would say "37%" if we were forced to put a number on it. Fortunately, we aren't, and we won't.
- Opening a context menu won't freeze videos or gifs playing in the app.
- We dusted off the cobwebs in the app menu and composted a few menu items that weren't useful when signed into one team.
- The default window size is a smidgen larger. You won't notice, because your window will keep being the same size it's always been. That's just the way it is, and we don't want it to change.
- Our spellchecker would occasionally mark correctly spelled words as incorrect. It had ONE job. It now performs it.
- With surgical precision, we cut out the frame border that appeared when the app window was maximized.
Slack for Windows 2.5.2
- We made the act of signing in more reliable for teams using SSO
- It transpired that folks who downloaded our installer from slack.com were added to the beta program. If you wanted to be in the beta, you would have said so
- For the times when Slack just... doesn't: try Help > Clear Cache and Restart. It has all the nougaty goodness of Reset App Data, without the stale aftertaste of losing your teams
Slack for Windows 2.5.1
What's New:
- We tried to imagine a centralized location that made it easy to put Slack onto a bunch of Windows computers all at once. Then realised we were imagining the Windows Store. So we put the app in there instead. It made so much more sense
- The way we load teams you don’t view often has been changed to improve the memory footprint of the app. One day, it will be a pitter patter of tiny footprints. For now, it’s a tad slower, a little less hefty, and a lot more attractive. Think “brontosaurus in a nice hat.”
- Folks consistently unable to load the app will now be greeted by a troubleshooting page that offers suggestions on making their situation better. (Spoiler: it's usually to do with over-zealous antivirus software)
- Those pasting text with style into a Post then finding their text to have "no style" can now Paste & Match Style under the Edit menu
- You can see our Help Center documentation in – of all places – the Help menu. The almost over-intuitively named Open Help Center item will be your friend
- Spellcheck support for three (세!) additional languages; writers of Korean, Portugese (Brazilian), and Albanian type a little easier
Fixed:
- Waking Slack after hibernation or a system crash occasionally found all your teams missing. Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience; it no longer should
- Some bold explorers moved their user profile off of the default drive (C:) and started the app to find nothing but a cryptic error message. We weren't prepared for this boldness, but have since girded our loins. Fine, explorers: Set your profiles free
- A rare bug where team icons shuffled out of formation in the sidebar. They're more stoic and sticky and as a bonus, rearranging them is smoother
- On Windows, a handful of zoom-based glitches: borders inappropriately sized, taskbars jumping around. All of that? Smoothed
- Customers typing in languages that use IME composition (Korean, for example) will find that the message input is 82% stickier
- In a truly McGyver maneuver, we applied an additional layer of duct tape around Windows 10 notifications. Literal duct tape. Ask no questions
Slack for Windows 2.4.1
What's New:
- The shades of gray in our menu bar were so 1992 — they didn't match any of our outfits. So: we went shopping for a new window frame. This one matches your theme, and comes with a free hamburger menu!
- We discovered that removing a bunch of unnecessary processes improved app startup time. Who knew? Less really is more. Or at least, less is more-faster. Or should that be fewer? Whatever: It's better
- We simplified the way we remember your teams and app settings. This shouldn't affect much, aside from some bugs wherein we forgot your teams or app settings, which are now fixed
- For the savvy troubleshooter, a new tool: Help > Show Logs in Explorer will package up some app diagnostic files, should you ever need them
Fixed:
- Our zoom levels now match the Chrome browser, so you should feel right at home (so long as your home is Chrome)
- An infrequent crash when quitting the app has been dispatched
- A slightly more frequent crash while checking for updates; eliminated
- Signing out of teams from the right-click menu is 46.8% more reliable
- And finally, if you had multiple displays, new windows (such as a call or a Post) would appear on the primary display instead of the display that Slack was on. Rather than submit this to a physics journal for peer review, we decided to fix it. All is as it should be
Slack for Windows 2.3.4
- Fixed: There was a small bug in Calls. We don’t think you saw it, but we fixed it anyway
Slack for Windows 2.3.3
Fixed:
- Window zoom jumping back and forth? No longer–we locked it down and threw away the key
- Some folks on Windows 10 were beset by lag when switching channels, making the app unresponsive in the best case and altogether frozen in the worst. This update should thaw them out
Slack for Windows 2.3.2
New:
- Signing into a new team now gets the same pleasantly clear-eyed full screen treatment as our other dialogs
- You're now able to approve deep links from other apps. And then, with a full heart (and a click of your magical computer arrow) open them
- Notifications will show up on time, every time. Can't lose
Fixed:
- If you're using NTLM or basic authentication to sign into a team, you'll be relieved to find that your credentials work. Good as new!
- Opening Slack from a Slack-flavored link (say, a magic login email) is 100% more reliable
- The window should flash when set to Idle and you receive a notification, even if you've stashed it in the tray
- Some folks were hearing the default system notification sound in addition to the sound from the app, and it wasn't just their imagination. This was confounding, and we took it out
- If you don't have a team icon set, we instead show the initials of your team name in the sidebar. Astute observers noticed that those initials were too bright when the team was not selected, and (gasp) they didn't support Unicode characters, such as emoji. All of this has been made right
- Switching teams using the quick-switcher works every time. Promise
- We turned Dropbox imports upside down, shook out a few bugs, then put them right-side up again
- Several folks mentioned that our zoom levels were not fine-grained enough. So, we made them match Chrome! You should feel right at home
Slack for Windows 2.2.1
What's New:
- Rather than reloading the whole app, View > Reload now reloads just your current team. We're pretty sure that's what you meant.
- What is that beacon of pure white light? Oh! It's the Windows 10 Action Center, with the rubbish–err, notifications–taken out. Whenever you switch channels, we'll dismiss notifications in that channel from the Action Center.
- Use Help > Report Issue to send feedback or file a bug. It attaches your log files automatically, because who has the time for attachments?
- So, you want to memorize every hotkey? Of course. Consult our ever-expanding cheatsheet, now available from Help > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Fixed:
- Blank white apps as a result of network troubles should be a rare circumstance. It was rare before, but now it's like, extinct. Or endangered. One of those.
- Launching the app from the Windows command prompt should work more reliably. Before it was, well... we don't want to talk about it.

更新時間：2019-10-02
更新細節：
What's new in this version:
Slack for Windows 4.1.0
New:
- 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 difficult word to spell)
Bug Fixes:
- 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!
Slack for Windows 4.0.2
Bug Fixes:
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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 for Windows 4.0.1
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 3.4.3
- Change log not available for this version
Slack for Windows 3.4.2
Bug Fixes:
- 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
- Occasionally, Slack would crash when waking up from sleep., because change is hard. This is no longer the case
Slack for Windows 3.4.1
- Bug Fixes: we’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was
Slack for Windows 3.3.8
New:
- When you sign in, you'll now sign in through the browser rather than within the app
Bug Fixes:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.3.7
Bug Fixes:
- Users signing in with Single Sign-On would see the same message twice when logging in
- Users signing in with Single Sign-On would see the same message twice when logging in. This will not happen any more
- When trying to select a portion of a code-formatted block of text (text formatted with ` or ``` at either end), some characters were proving slippery and hard to select. You can now copy and paste to your heart's content
- Several random, rare crashes — on launch and at other times — have been eliminated. More random and rare crashes inevitably exist, of course, and as soon as we know what they are, we'll eliminate those too
- The full screen shortcut was mistakenly listed as ‘Ctrl+F’ instead of ‘Ctrl+Shift+F’ in the "View" menu. We both apologize for this and hope that, because of it, someone out there discovered 'Ctrl+F' as a useful shortcut for searching the channel that you're in. Always look on the bright side of bugs
Slack for Windows 3.3.6
- From today, you'll notice a shiny new app button that matches our new logo. You can read more about it on our blog at SlackHQ.com
Slack for Windows 3.3.3
- All updates are important, of course. This one contains security updates, and as we know, they’re the most important kind of all
Slack for Windows 3.3.1
- Bug Fixes: We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was
Slack for Windows 3.3.0
New:
- 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
Bug Fixes:
- 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

- 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

Slack for Windows 3.1.0
New:
- 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

- 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
Fixed:
- 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
Slack for Windows 3.0.5
- Bug Fixes: Another important security update. See? We told you they were all important
Slack for Windows 3.0.3
Bug Fixes:
- 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.
Slack for Windows 3.0.0
New:
- 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

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
Fixed:
- 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)
- And finally, sometimes selecting text in the search box would move the window around. You could say… it was a bit of a drag
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.8.2
- A small release containing nothing but another Electron update, this one better than the last
Slack for Windows 2.8.1
- Previously in Slack app releases: we fixed the Japanese input in 2.6.3. Then we re-broke it in 2.8.0. And now it’s fixed again. Stay tuned for the next thrilling installment
- Added bonus: An Electron update improving security. A precautionary measure, but it’s always good to be up to date
Slack for Windows 2.8.0
What's New:
- Support for a top secret, very hush-hush, highly classified and very exciting new feature that we wish we could call by name, but we cannot
- 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:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.7.1
Fixed:
- You're nearly finished signing in when suddenly – bonk – you're brought back to the first page. Hey, what gives? Please accept our apologies and, in this version, 100% less bonking
WINDOWS 10:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.7.0
New:
- 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
Fixed:
- 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
Slack for Windows 2.6.5
- 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.
Slack for Windows 2.6.3
- Fixed: Sometimes if you changed networks, we used to rouse from sleep in a bit of a daze, greeting you with a blank screen. Now, we awaken bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Or at the very least, with your team displayed
- Fixed: Where, in rare cases, some external links didn't end up pointing to the right place when you clicked them, they now do
- Fixed: Video playback should now be much smoother, and nicer to your network
- Fixed: On certain keyboard layouts, hitting backspace didn't actually delete the last character, which was a surprise, but a surprise of the lesser kind - there is now one fewer lesser surprise
Slack for Windows 2.6.2
- Fixed: Unexplainably, context menus and spell-check stopped working in some teams. OK: we have an explanation but we'd rather not discuss it. It's embarrassing. Rest easy knowing that it's fixed here
Slack for Windows 2.6.0
What's New:
- We revamped video calls, making the experience more intuitive, and more attractive. As a bonus, they're more resource efficient and now let you change audio devices during a call. If that's the kind of thing you need to do.
- Remove thine shackles from thine eyes, and behold: gloriously legible text, regardless of your display scaling!
- We'll no longer clear notifications from the Action Center automatically, but if you're on the Windows Creators Update we'll bundle them up so that it's easier for you to do.
Fixed:
- A rare bug that turned Slack into a process hydra: receiving notifications or switching channels would spawn new processes seemingly without end.
- The Launch on login preference should be more reliable this time around (for the technically inclined: it now uses the registry instead of a Startup shortcut).
- We paved over a series of potholes that were strewn about the app, making crashes far less likely.
- Should you ever wish to say goodbye to one of your teams, a right-click > Remove from the sidebar will do the trick now more reliably than before.
- Switching teams using the numbered shortcuts is noticeably faster. We would say "37%" if we were forced to put a number on it. Fortunately, we aren't, and we won't.
- Opening a context menu won't freeze videos or gifs playing in the app.
- We dusted off the cobwebs in the app menu and composted a few menu items that weren't useful when signed into one team.
- The default window size is a smidgen larger. You won't notice, because your window will keep being the same size it's always been. That's just the way it is, and we don't want it to change.
- Our spellchecker would occasionally mark correctly spelled words as incorrect. It had ONE job. It now performs it.
- With surgical precision, we cut out the frame border that appeared when the app window was maximized.
Slack for Windows 2.5.2
- We made the act of signing in more reliable for teams using SSO
- It transpired that folks who downloaded our installer from slack.com were added to the beta program. If you wanted to be in the beta, you would have said so
- For the times when Slack just... doesn't: try Help > Clear Cache and Restart. It has all the nougaty goodness of Reset App Data, without the stale aftertaste of losing your teams
Slack for Windows 2.5.1
What's New:
- We tried to imagine a centralized location that made it easy to put Slack onto a bunch of Windows computers all at once. Then realised we were imagining the Windows Store. So we put the app in there instead. It made so much more sense
- The way we load teams you don’t view often has been changed to improve the memory footprint of the app. One day, it will be a pitter patter of tiny footprints. For now, it’s a tad slower, a little less hefty, and a lot more attractive. Think “brontosaurus in a nice hat.”
- Folks consistently unable to load the app will now be greeted by a troubleshooting page that offers suggestions on making their situation better. (Spoiler: it's usually to do with over-zealous antivirus software)
- Those pasting text with style into a Post then finding their text to have "no style" can now Paste & Match Style under the Edit menu
- You can see our Help Center documentation in – of all places – the Help menu. The almost over-intuitively named Open Help Center item will be your friend
- Spellcheck support for three (세!) additional languages; writers of Korean, Portugese (Brazilian), and Albanian type a little easier
Fixed:
- Waking Slack after hibernation or a system crash occasionally found all your teams missing. Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience; it no longer should
- Some bold explorers moved their user profile off of the default drive (C:) and started the app to find nothing but a cryptic error message. We weren't prepared for this boldness, but have since girded our loins. Fine, explorers: Set your profiles free
- A rare bug where team icons shuffled out of formation in the sidebar. They're more stoic and sticky and as a bonus, rearranging them is smoother
- On Windows, a handful of zoom-based glitches: borders inappropriately sized, taskbars jumping around. All of that? Smoothed
- Customers typing in languages that use IME composition (Korean, for example) will find that the message input is 82% stickier
- In a truly McGyver maneuver, we applied an additional layer of duct tape around Windows 10 notifications. Literal duct tape. Ask no questions
Slack for Windows 2.4.1
What's New:
- The shades of gray in our menu bar were so 1992 — they didn't match any of our outfits. So: we went shopping for a new window frame. This one matches your theme, and comes with a free hamburger menu!
- We discovered that removing a bunch of unnecessary processes improved app startup time. Who knew? Less really is more. Or at least, less is more-faster. Or should that be fewer? Whatever: It's better
- We simplified the way we remember your teams and app settings. This shouldn't affect much, aside from some bugs wherein we forgot your teams or app settings, which are now fixed
- For the savvy troubleshooter, a new tool: Help > Show Logs in Explorer will package up some app diagnostic files, should you ever need them
Fixed:
- Our zoom levels now match the Chrome browser, so you should feel right at home (so long as your home is Chrome)
- An infrequent crash when quitting the app has been dispatched
- A slightly more frequent crash while checking for updates; eliminated
- Signing out of teams from the right-click menu is 46.8% more reliable
- And finally, if you had multiple displays, new windows (such as a call or a Post) would appear on the primary display instead of the display that Slack was on. Rather than submit this to a physics journal for peer review, we decided to fix it. All is as it should be
Slack for Windows 2.3.4
- Fixed: There was a small bug in Calls. We don’t think you saw it, but we fixed it anyway
Slack for Windows 2.3.3
Fixed:
- Window zoom jumping back and forth? No longer–we locked it down and threw away the key
- Some folks on Windows 10 were beset by lag when switching channels, making the app unresponsive in the best case and altogether frozen in the worst. This update should thaw them out
Slack for Windows 2.3.2
New:
- Signing into a new team now gets the same pleasantly clear-eyed full screen treatment as our other dialogs
- You're now able to approve deep links from other apps. And then, with a full heart (and a click of your magical computer arrow) open them
- Notifications will show up on time, every time. Can't lose
Fixed:
- If you're using NTLM or basic authentication to sign into a team, you'll be relieved to find that your credentials work. Good as new!
- Opening Slack from a Slack-flavored link (say, a magic login email) is 100% more reliable
- The window should flash when set to Idle and you receive a notification, even if you've stashed it in the tray
- Some folks were hearing the default system notification sound in addition to the sound from the app, and it wasn't just their imagination. This was confounding, and we took it out
- If you don't have a team icon set, we instead show the initials of your team name in the sidebar. Astute observers noticed that those initials were too bright when the team was not selected, and (gasp) they didn't support Unicode characters, such as emoji. All of this has been made right
- Switching teams using the quick-switcher works every time. Promise
- We turned Dropbox imports upside down, shook out a few bugs, then put them right-side up again
- Several folks mentioned that our zoom levels were not fine-grained enough. So, we made them match Chrome! You should feel right at home
Slack for Windows 2.2.1
What's New:
- Rather than reloading the whole app, View > Reload now reloads just your current team. We're pretty sure that's what you meant.
- What is that beacon of pure white light? Oh! It's the Windows 10 Action Center, with the rubbish–err, notifications–taken out. Whenever you switch channels, we'll dismiss notifications in that channel from the Action Center.
- Use Help > Report Issue to send feedback or file a bug. It attaches your log files automatically, because who has the time for attachments?
- So, you want to memorize every hotkey? Of course. Consult our ever-expanding cheatsheet, now available from Help > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Fixed:
- Blank white apps as a result of network troubles should be a rare circumstance. It was rare before, but now it's like, extinct. Or endangered. One of those.
- Launching the app from the Windows command prompt should work more reliably. Before it was, well... we don't want to talk about it.
