Bug Fixes
We’ve tinkered with the internal workings and polished some rough edges. The app is now better than it was.
What’s New
Everything is a little bit faster all around, thanks to a move to webpack.
Bug Fixes
Drag and dropping files into Slack is now much more stable.
If you ever do need to reset the app’s data, it now works better. A bit better, at least.
We improved team icons alignment in the side bar for those in a lot of workspaces. It’s a small thing, but much more aesthetically pleasing.
Hardware acceleration can now be turned off without foregrounding Slack. If you know what that means, you’ll know it’s handy. If you don’t — it still is! Carry on. And thank you for reading.
