Get Early Access to the New Tower

New

• History: The history now clearly shows which commits are introduced by a branch relative to its parent (fork point).

• License Account: The redesigned account window now includes license details, device activation management, and team member invitations.

• Tower Pro: Advanced features that were previously marked as Preview are now part of Tower Pro. Basic users can upgrade directly within Tower or start a Pro trial. Pro features include Graphite, Stacked Branches, Advanced Custom Workflows, Automatic Branch Management, and self-hosted service accounts.

Improved

• Compare Tools: Added support for Beyond Compare 5 and improved configuration of external diff and merge tools.

• Security: Self-signed certificate handling is now limited to accounts explicitly configured to trust their server instead of disabling TLS certificate validation globally.

• Trial Experience: Improved the trial-expired experience with updated content and recovery options.- Performance: Tower no longer waits for service-account refreshes sequentially during startup.

Fixed

• SSH: Fixed SSH remote operations failing because Git configuration overrides were passed with invalid decorative quotes.

• OpenSSH: Fixed a crash that could occur when OpenSSH was unavailable, could not be resolved from PATH, or was only partially initialized.

• Git Configuration: Fixed a regression that could write literal quotes into committer names, signing configuration, safe directories, commit templates, and other Git settings. Tower also repairs affected values when possible.

• Compare Tools: Fixed external diff and merge tools failing to launch because their command paths were over-quoted.

• Changesets: Non-image binary files now display “Binary file differs” instead of an empty diff and no longer trigger repeated Git operations.
