   Slack for Mac 3.1

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   [1]Slack has released version 3.1 of its Mac desktop client with a
   number of improvements and bug fixes for the group messaging system and
   collaboration tool that recently turned 3 (see "[2]Slack for Mac 3.0,"
   9 December 2017). The release adds a notification to inform you of
   completed downloads, uses a new, more legible font for Japanese
   localizations, launches at startup with "less extraneous loading screen
   action, and fewer fanfares," ensures unread message badges don't linger
   too long, and fixes a bug that caused the app to perform poorly after
   making too many text substitutions. Slack no longer allows you to
   designate a folder other than Downloads to store downloaded files, but
   the option to set different download folders will return in a future
   update. (Free from [3]Slack and the [4]Mac App Store, 71.3 MB,
   [5]release notes, 10.9+)
