Desktop: Mattermost Desktop App v3.7.0 - RC1 is out!

[jasonblais]

Hello - and huge thanks to everyone for contributing to the Mattermost Desktop project!

Given our recent progress, we feel we’re ready to release v3.7 soon. Here are the proposed dates (all tentative and subject to change):

• Friday 4/28: Code complete with release-3.7 locked in the desktop repo
• Monday 5/1: Testing begins on the release candidate
• Friday 5/5: Date to cut the final release
• Tuesday 5/9: Official release with marketing

Below is a list of remaining issues for the release:

• @yuya-oc Add spellchecker
• @yuya-oc Clicking a public file link opens an extra Mattermost window, in addition to downloading the file
• @jnugh Add display-metrics-changed handler to place window on screen
• @jasonblais Review README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md files

Yuya and Jason

The link to the debian packges returns a 403 error
https://releases.mattermost.com/desktop/3.7.0-rc1/mattermost-desktop-3.7.0-rc1-linux-x64.tar.gz is broken, too

[jasonblais]

@yuya-oc can you help take a look?

It looks like all but Linux builds give a 403 error, only https://releases.mattermost.com/desktop/3.7.0-rc1/mattermost-desktop-3.7.0-rc1-linux-ia32.tar.gz works.

[jasonblais]

And thanks @Hanzei for your interest trying out the release candidate

[yuya-oc]

Thanks to let me know. The link is unexpectedly different from previous version. For now, I have fixed the link and confirmed that all links are actually available.

[hanzei]

https://releases.mattermost.com/desktop/3.7.0-rc1/mattermost-desktop-3.7.0-rc1-linux-x64.tar.gz and the two debian links still dont work
Needed to clear browser cache

[yuya-oc]
