v3.6.0 (2017-02-28)

Improvements

• Added support for unread indicators following the release of team sidebar in Mattermost server 3.6
• Removed a confusing CTRL/CMD+S shortcut for searching within a Mattermost team
• Added support for SAML OneLogin and Google authentication for Enterprise users
• Switching to a server from the system tray icon, from "Window" menu bar item, or through CTRL/CMD+{n} shortcut now works while viewing the Settings page
• Streamlined desktop server management:
  • "Team Management" changed to "Server Management" following the release of team sidebar in Mattermost server 3.6
  • Added a "+" icon to the desktop server tab bar to more easily sign into a new Mattermost server
  • Added an option to sign into another Mattermost server from File > Sign in to Another Server
  • Clicking "Add new server" on the Settings page opens a dialog instead of a new row
  • Clicking "Remove" next to a server now requires a confirmation to prevent a user from removing the server by accident
  • Clicking "Edit" next to a server on the Settings page opens a dialog
  • Clicking on a server on the Settings page opens the corresponding server tab
• Simplified desktop app options:
  • App options now auto-save when changed
  • Added supporting help text for each option
  • Removed "Leave app running in menu bar when application window is closed" setting for Mac, which is not applicable for that platform
  • Removed "Toggle window visibility when clicking on the tray icon" setting for Windows, given the behavior is inconsistent with typical Windows app behavior
  • Removed "Hide menu bar" setting to avoid users not being able to use the menu bar and the Settings page.
