Slack notification breaking changes

There was a bug in Slack notification provider when AppVeyor was always prepending channel name with # and preventing sending notifications to private channels. Now, when that bug is fixed and AppVeyor is not adding # to a channel name anymore you may need to update your Slack notification settings to make sure public channel name starts with #. In appveyor.yml you need to quote channel name to pass YAML validation, for example:

- provider: Slack
  auth_token:
    secure: AAABBB+CCC==
  channel: '#channel'
