Currently getting this notification now and then when using Slack:

We will release a new version of Rambox CE ASAP, and of course will be before March 15.

FWIW, I'm using Rambox Pro and have Amazon Music as one of my tabs - also getting a similar message (totally unrelated to Slack) about outdated Chromium version and deprecated support. Just another hint that it would probably be good to bump it.

[fvulich]

@daveaglick also a Rambox Pro update will be coming soon (with an updated Chromium)

@saenzramiro what's the progress with 0.6.4? Just curious, I know it's not March 15th yet

Anyone willing to review PR #2111?

I’ve tried on my machine; it refuses to launch the app even from upstream master:

Sencha Cmd 6.6.0.13 - Crash report

Did you install ruby ?

[claui]

@maxerbox Yes, I do have Ruby 2.6.1 installed. A 2.3.7 installation also came with the OS, which is macOS 10.14.3.

[claui]

I’ve upgraded sencha from 6.6.0.13 to 6.7.0.37 and run sencha app upgrade.

I still get the same error when running sencha app watch. 😞
Any ideas how to troubleshoot that?

Anyone else willing to review #2111? There’s only one day left in Slack’s grace period.
