Smarter "Fully Merged" Detection
Coming in 17.0
Tower now matches your local branches against merged pull requests from your hosting service — reliably catching squash and rebase merges that plain Git can never see. Three further checks complete the picture: Git's own merge detection, merge commit analysis, and deleted remote tracking branches.
The redesigned hint view shows exactly which checks matched, with direct links to the merge commit or pull request — so you can verify everything before deleting a branch.
Release Notes
No beta release notes available for this product at this time.
Improved
Pro Trial: The toolbar badge now states your trial days left plainly instead of pushing an upgrade message, and can be hidden via the View menu’s “Hide Pro Trial Badge”.
Toolbar: The Workflow item is now a permanent toolbar fixture and can no longer be dragged out.
License: Basic subscribers now get an “Upgrade to Pro…” menu item under “License…”, letting you see what Pro offers without needing to trip a Pro-only feature gate first.
Fixed
Workflows: Starting and finishing topic branches now correctly work for Basic users too, so Git Flow workflows built on our custom workflow engine are no longer blocked from this step. The classic Git Flow workflow was unaffected.
Search: Fixed the search field not expanding when its toolbar item was collapsed.
History: Fixed Reveal in History doing nothing while viewing File History or Blame.
Pull Requests: Fixed a stale “conflicts must be resolved” banner persisting on a pull request after its base branch had advanced and GitHub had already reported it as mergeable.
Fixed a crash when toggling the Pro Trial Badge from the View menu.
