Update 7.2.1 to 7.8.1
Notifications in windows desktop client are without text of messages.
If i turn on “Show Message in Notification” in Push → Priacy setting. Text appears. But i do not need to show message in push notification.
Meybe some one have the same behavior? Any solutions?
First, upgrades.
Note they do not test big jumps like this and you expose yourself to massive risks in doing so.
I wrote the basis of this years ago, and it is still true today.
It is better to go something like this where x = last release of that specific point release.
7.2.x → 7.3.x → 7.4.x → 7.5.x → 7.6.x → 7.7.x → 7.8.x
You should also read ALL the changelogs before each upgrade for features left out, broken or whatever.
I have done this on one of servers from something like 0.30 and another 0.64 and they are fine 
Next, supply some of this info please - it helps diagnosis:
Then please supply a few screenshots to illustrate your issue as your message doesn’t make sense to me.
Thanks.

If i turn on “Show Message in Notification” for Push, it’s olso show it in windows desktop client notifications.
Recover 7.2.1 to test environment and make this path:
7.2.1 → 7.2.6 → 7.3.6 → 7.4.4 → 7.5.3 → 7.6.4 → 7.7.5 → 7.8.1
Text in notifications gone on 7.7.5 → 7.8.1 step. It seams this is bug of 7.8.x
I’ll ask for a comment but it is Friday…
May be next week.

@m.dubrovin it seems that behavior is by design fix: desktop notifications not respecting privacy settings by abhinavkrin · Pull Request #36156 · RocketChat/Rocket.Chat · GitHub
I tend to disagree with the decision, because the desktop is not a real push so there is nothing related to privacy in this case actually. (the user receives the message and the “push” via websocket anyway) but in this case my opinion is not worth much
ps:
thats not true, upgrades between patches and minors are ok
the rule is: “you should not skip any major” (this is even more real for any version > 5)
5.x.x → 6.x.x → 6.x.x → …
But of course, if you want to find where the change was introduced, and you have the freedom to update frequently, the smaller the jump, the smaller the amount of changes, the fewer the surprises. But it’s not a rule and it’s not wrong if you dont do it that way.

Thanks for responding Gazzo.
Do Rocket really test upgrading from say 7.0.x → 7.8.x ?
From my own user experience I can honestly say the best way is step through the point releases.
Seen far too many disasters where people make big jumps.
Keeping it to small incremental steps is then much easier to pin point issues. You can also revert far more easily if you hit a disaster.
YMMV.
