New SfB for Mac build. Where is it?

In the Ignite session last week they said there would be a new build via MAU last week. I have yet to see the new build or the version of MAU that would allow us to get it. When will this show up on our portal?

  • We ran into a couple of issues with the build that was supposed to go live last week. We are working on getting a more stable build and publishing as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

      Super psyched for the GA!!!! 

       

      I have updated but I'm still not seeing the single user UI, etc. I'm thinking it didn't work for me?!

       

      I'm on build 16.0.3638?

       

      Any suggestions?

        I'm not seeing single UI (tabbed conversations) either. Wondering if it has to do with my org's retention policy? I'm on 16.0.3639

    Yes, I'm looking forward to it also. BTW, how do I sign up for the Preview Program?

      I am part of the preview program and I'm unable to get the latest build... 

       

      Typically these updates are pulled down by my client when I check and they're available. I'm currently at 16.0.3036. 

       

      Will there not be a version of the latest made more widely avaialble? Are we just anticipating the public release now?

        Hi All,

         

        I can confirm the link does work, provided you access the site with the account you signed up with...took me a while to locate the right person in our company. 

         

        The version I have is much cleaner, has an installer and transitions to MS auto update which is probably why it doesn't come down via the old version. You also need to follow the instructions, or it will not work. I suggest using something like AppCleaner to completely delete both the beta and Lync 2011 before doing the install. 

         

        Good luck! 

        Scott 

  • REALLY looking forward to receive it! Hopefully even more integrated with the Office pack for Mac.

        Will this new build solve the disappearing messages issue?

        I logged into my portal yesterday and SkypeForBusinessInstaller_MAU_3597 became avilable. You might want to take a peak at your portal now and it should be avilable.
