Desktop App v4.3.0 contains multiple medium level security fixes. Upgrading is recommended. Details will be posted on our security updates page 30 days after release as per the Mattermost Responsible Disclosure Policy.

Breaking Change

  • The Mattermost Desktop App v4.3.0 release includes a change to how desktop notifications are sent from non-secure URLs (http://). Organizations using non-secure Mattermost Servers (http://) will need to update to Mattermost Server versions 5.16.0+, 5.15.1, 5.14.4 or 5.9.5 (ESR) to continue receiving desktop notifications when using Mattermost Desktop v4.3.0 or later.

Known Issues

We are in active development of a new release to address these known issues:

  • CMD+Z doesn't undo on the Mac desktop app.
  • Users are unable to zoom in/out except on the first server tab.
  • Right-click + "Copy" does not work in some instances.
  • Unable to exit maximized Youtube videos using the close button if the app is running in full screen.
  • Desktop notifications appear in sequence rather than stacking on Windows.
  • Clicking on notifications when using the Windows MSI (Beta) doesn't focus the app or the channel that triggered the notification.
