Slack 4.27.154
- Common Apple and Microsoft file extensions added to approved list to reduce confirmation prompts when opening Word documents and Keynote presentations
- Build numbers now correspond to specific builds instead of sequential numbers
- Fixed a bug where Slack would bypass system-level notification settings on Windows
- Included minor security improvements
You may have noticed that with this release there's a new, larger number at the end of the version string. Going forward, while you'll still see the numbers laid out in a < MAJOR.MINO R.BUILD> sequence, the "Build" numbers will now correspond to specific builds on our end as opposed to a small sequential number. TL;DR: A few more numbers for you, a bit more specificity for everyone. We've added the most common Apple and Microsoft file extensions to our approved list so you won't be asked to confirm each time you open a Word doc or Keynote presentation. Are you sure you'd like one less approval? YES/NO If you had notifications disabled at the system level, Slack had very crafty ways of evading the preventative measures of Windows. Not by design, mind you—it was a bug. Can bugs be crafty? Not when they're squished. This release includes minor security improvements. Updating is beneficial.
