My Linux installation of Teams just popped up a "Congratulations, you now have the latest version!" notification. Or something along those lines.
As the version of the program has not changed (it's still 1.4.00.7556), I assume something new was rolled out on the server side. Clicking the notification just makes it disappear.
How do I find out what has changed? Or is this some guessing game that you want me to play? Are there prizes for working it out?
Seriously Microsoft, if you are going to display a notification like this, the least you can do is have the notification take me to a web page where I can see what is included in the "latest version". Without any information to go with the notification, it amounts to nothing more than noise. As there are so many features still missing from the Linux version of Teams, it really would be useful to know if the the "latest version" includes any of those missing features.

Hi there, I understand your frustration. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't always provide detailed release notes for Teams updates, especially for minor updates that don't change the Latest version number. However, you can check the Microsoft Teams release notes page periodically to see if any new features have been added. I hope this helps!
Interesting. A new Teams client just arrived in the update repo for Linux Mint.
Installed it. Checked the "What's New?" page.
Nothing it would seem.
:ROFL:

Of course not, because there is nothing new, except the version number ;)
@Mike Johnson ,
Sorry for the unpleasant experience. It seems that Teams for Linux needs much more time to improve its features.
It seems no changes for Teams for Linux(1.4.00.7556) now. You could find the new update in Teams client as below:
Many people response the slow pace of Teams for Linux. We are also waiting for the update. But it has no news now. If there is any update, I will share with you here as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

It would be great if that menu item actually told me anything. It leads to this page:
I received the notification on the 22nd of May but the last update to the information is from the 17th.
The information seems to be about what was added to the Windows and MacOS versions of Teams.
How about adding a "Linux" tab to that page?
I've asked them to add a roadmap last year in December, and guess what, it's still empty.
Microsoft simply doesn't want to be transparent about the development of the Linux client. They prefer to be as much as opaque (thx @Mike Johnson 🙏) as possible. Every now and then they add a new client version, of course without any release notes, irony on because it seems to be common in software development irony off, and no one knows what or if something has been improved.
Agreed, and it's a real shame that this situation continues as it does today.
BTW, the opposite of transparent is opaque. ;)
@Mike Johnson
There is a time lag of features between Teams for Linux and Teams for Windows now. We don't have any more update or information of the progress in future. Sorry for the inconvenience.
