Corporate Mac users just got an update for Lync for Mac 2011 with KB3037358, updating it to Version 14.0.11 (150304). According to the KB article, the update includes many updates and bug fixes including those listed below:

KB 3037357 Lync for Mac 2011 cannot use the .PAC file appropriately
KB 3037356 The “Calendar” button and the “Schedule a Meeting…” menu item are unavailable in Lync for Mac 2011

KB 3037350 The “DisableSavingIM” client policy does not work in Lync for Mac 2011

Although the update hit Microsoft’s download site yesterday 3/17, the AutoUpdate tool Mac isn’t picking it up so you will need to manually download and run the update using the following link — Lync for Mac 2011 – March Update KB3037358.

Although the list of “published” bug fixes and enhancements is fairly short, you can be sure this update is packed full so you will want to grab it and upgrade quickly. Hopefully it will add some stability to the client while we wait for Microsoft to release Skype for Business on the Mac platform.
