   Slack for Mac 2.0.3

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Slack has released version 2.0.3 of its Mac desktop client with
   resolution to a problem with the app forgetting some of your teams
   after a crash, and what is hopefully the final fixes for problems that
   have affected the sign-in process for some users of the [1]group
   messaging system and productivity tool. The elegantly written release
   notes (see more about how the Slack team [2]approaches writing release
   notes) also include this nugget:

     There was an understandable backlash to the backslash that attached
     itself to the front of single or double quotes when replying to
     notifications, so we took that slapdash backslash and burned it like
     the bug it was.

   youâÂÂre just coming to Slack, be sure to read GlennâÂÂs âÂÂ[5]Take
   Control of Slack Basics: Chapter 2, Get Started with Slackâ (9 March
