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
Improved performance when loading pull requests. Repositories with many pull requests no longer feel sluggish while Tower syncs them.
Improved performance of the History view in repositories with large conflicts, where Tower could previously seem unresponsive for a moment.
Fixed
Fixed a crash that could occur on launch or when opening a repository, in some setups using grouped refs in the sidebar with certain nested group structures.
Fixed a crash in the worktree settings after a worktree had been removed.
Fixed the Finish Branch dialog not honoring the workflow configuration. The merge strategy and the "Always Create Merge Commit" option are now pre-selected as configured.
