Mattermost v5.8.0 contains low to medium severity level security fixes. Upgrading is highly recommended. Details will be posted on our `security updates page <https://mattermost.com/security-updates/>`__ 30 days after release as per the `Mattermost Responsible Disclosure Policy <https://mattermost.com/security-vulnerability-report//>`__.

Improvements
24+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
25+
26+
All Platforms
27+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
28+
29+
- Moved the **Settings** window into a new modal.
30+
- Disabled the ``--inspect`` tag.
31+
32+
Architectural Changes
33+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
34+
35+
- Minor version upgrade of Electron to 29.3.0. Electron is the underlying technology used to build the Desktop App.
36+
37+
Bug Fixes
38+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
39+
40+
macOS
41+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
42+
43+
- Fixed an issue for macOS 13+ users on the Mac App Store build where the OS-level **Do Not Disturb** user status was not respected.
44+
- Fixed the settings window disappearing on macOS when dragged to another monitor.
45+
46+
All Platforms
47+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
48+
49+
- Fixed an issue where removing a server did not clear mentions.
50+
- Fixed an issue where right-clicking on **Save Image** crashed the app.
51+
- Fixed an issue where typing in the local server followed by a port would trip up the URL validation.
52+
- Fixed an issue where restoring the window from the tray icon could cause a strange state if the window was previously maximized.
53+
- Fixed the permission prompt to **Deny** on closing the dialog.
54+
55+
Open Source Components
56+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
57+
58+
- Added and removed several open source components at https://github.com/mattermost/desktop.
59+
60+
Known Issues
61+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
62+
63+
- Desktop App Windows 10: The taskbar might not flash on receipt of a new message when the setting is enabled `MM-58087 <https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-58087>`_.
64+
- Users seeing an endless "Loading..." screen when attempting to log in to the app may need to manually delete their cache directory. For MacOS it is located in ``/Users/<username>/Library/Containers/Mattermost/Data/Library/Application Support/Mattermost``, for Windows in ``Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Mattermost`` and for Linux in ``~/config/Mattermost`` (where ``~`` is the home directory).
65+
- On Linux, a left-click on the Mattermost tray icon doesn't open the app window but opens the tray menu.
66+
- Crashes might be be experienced in some Linux desktop clients due to an upstream bug in the ``libnotifyapp`` library. A recommended workaround is to disable the Mattermost system tray icon via Desktop Settings.
67+
- On apps using GPO configurations, when adding a second server tab, it's possible to drag and drop tabs, but they'll jump back to the original position when releasing the mouse.

The Mattermost MSI installer and Group Policy (GPO) definitions are in Beta. If you are using this installer or GPOs and have feedback, particularly if you are an organization executing remote deployments, please contact us in the `MSI Installer channel on our Community server <https://community.mattermost.com/core/channels/msi-installer>`_ or on our `community forum <https://forum.mattermost.com/>`_. We hope to promote this installer out of Beta when the known issues are addressed and we are confident that the various deployment scenarios expected in production environments are tested sufficiently with the help of organizations using this Beta. Feedback is highly appreciated.
