Release history

Small steps, recorded clearly.

Application and website releases are recorded here from the same versioned source that CI publishes.

Revus 1.2.0

2026-08-24

Application release

Revus 1.2.0 adds a provider collaboration foundation directly to the desktop workspace. Authenticated repository workflows now show the capabilities and permissions available for the selected provider, so review work can begin with clear context about what the connection can do.

added

  • Show provider capabilities for authenticated repository workflows.
  • Expose read and write permission status without exposing provider tokens or private payloads.
  • Surface clone, fork, pull request, checks, reviews, comments, and merge support in the provider workflow.

security

  • Keep provider tokens in the operating-system keychain and out of the webview and telemetry payloads.

Revus 1.0.2

2026-08-20

Application release

Revus 1.0.2 keeps repository work inside the product. Every value and confirmation now uses the same focused modal system, so tags, branches, remotes, reviews, and recovery actions feel like parts of one deliberate workspace.

added

  • Introduce a shared Custom ModalManager for prompts and confirmations.
  • Add focused modal input for tag names, tag annotations, branch names, remote URLs, and stash messages.
  • Use the same modal language for destructive actions, remote changes, reviews, and recovery decisions.

changed

  • Replace native browser prompt and confirm surfaces across the desktop application.
  • Add multiline input support for annotated tag messages.

fixed

  • Prevent repository actions from falling back to inconsistent browser dialogs.

Revus 1.0.1

2026-08-20

Application release

Revus 1.0.1 makes advanced Git actions easier to find and harder to misapply. Branches and commits now carry the actions that change them, tags are visible where branches live, and an interrupted operation announces itself instead of hiding in a separate workflow panel.

added

  • Move merge, rebase, and tag creation into branch context actions.
  • Add create-tag, cherry-pick, and revert actions to commit history context menus.
  • Show local tags alongside branches and surface interrupted operations at the top of the workspace.
  • Move repository initialization and remote configuration into the Manage Remotes workflow.

changed

  • Replace the broad Repository actions surface with smaller, contextual interactions.
  • Refresh the public feature story around a repository-first, local-by-default workflow.

fixed

  • Reduce navigation clutter by keeping recovery and conflict handling out of the normal workspace sections.

Revus 1.0.0

2026-08-18

Application release

Revus 1.0.0 completes the dependable daily-use path for local Git work. History and recovery are visible, native tools are integrated with clear boundaries, and long-running operations provide enough context to retry or recover safely.

added

  • Add file history, blame, commit search, path filtering, and reflog recovery.
  • Add interactive rebase planning with squash, fixup, edit, drop, continue, skip, and abort actions.
  • Add safe binary and image diff inspection with bounded previews and size-only fallbacks.
  • Add native editor, terminal, file-explorer, external diff, and merge-tool integrations.
  • Add repository-wide operation history with bounded output, cancellation, retry, and recovery guidance.
  • Add a native acceptance matrix covering clone, branch, edit, stage, commit, review, merge, and reflog recovery.

fixed

  • Make large or binary changes safer to inspect without overwhelming the desktop workspace.

Revus 0.9.0

2026-08-10

Application release

Revus 0.9.0 brings the core Git workflows into one visual desktop workspace. You can now move from repository setup through tags, integration, conflict recovery, and patch exchange while keeping the repository state visible at each step.

added

  • Clone, create, initialize, publish, and manage repository remotes from the desktop workspace.
  • Create, rename, delete, check out, fetch, and push tags with safeguards against accidental overwrites.
  • Merge with fast-forward choices, rebase, cherry-pick, and revert with previews and clear recovery actions.
  • Compare conflict sides, edit text resolutions, mark files resolved, and safely handle binary conflicts.
  • Export and apply patches for working changes, staged changes, and stashes with an apply preview.

changed

  • Refresh repository status, history, branches, diffs, and recovery state after Git operations.
  • Explain dirty worktrees, missing remotes, rejected operations, conflicts, and stale repository state in the workspace.

security

  • Keep remote credentials out of repository metadata, logs, and generated patch files.

Revus 0.8.0

2026-08-10

Application release

Revus 0.8.0 makes remote work predictable without interrupting local Git workflows. Fetches are performed before relevant branch operations and can run automatically in the background, with clear safeguards for dirty worktrees, active operations, hidden windows, and unavailable remotes.

added

  • Fetch configured remotes automatically every 60 seconds while a repository is open.
  • Fetch remote state before switching or creating a checked-out branch.
  • Expose automatic fetch as a setting that pauses while the app is hidden or another operation runs.

changed

  • Improve remote progress, recovery guidance, and provider capability feedback.
  • Expand native desktop verification across repository opening, remote branches, History, Working Tree, and diffs.

fixed

  • Refresh remote data when the remote panel opens so newly available remotes are shown.

Revus 0.7.1

2026-08-10

Application release

Revus 0.7.1 hardens the provider review workflow and verifies the native desktop path against the release binary. Provider failure states remain visible, and native review flows now surface clearer support and recovery guidance.

added

  • Add provider-neutral review flows with clear support and unavailable-provider feedback.

changed

  • Harden native repository, History, Working Tree, diff, and review-connect smoke coverage against the release binary.
  • Make permission, rate-limit, stale-head, and offline provider states explicit and actionable.

fixed

  • Stabilize native WebDriver assertions where rendered text extraction differs across desktop platforms.

Revus 0.7.0

2026-08-10

Application release

Revus 0.7.0 brings repository actions and provider-aware review work closer to the place where changes are made. Pull requests, checks, comments, and merge actions now have a clearer home in the desktop workflow, with provider differences kept visible and credentials kept local.

added

  • Add context actions for repository changes, commit history, and repository selection.
  • Add provider-aware pull request creation for the services Revus can identify from a remote.
  • Add an authenticated review workspace for pull requests, checks, comments, and merge actions.

changed

  • Keep provider credentials in the operating system credential store and make provider support explicit.

Revus 0.6.0

2026-08-09

Application release

Revus 0.6.0 hardens the native workflow around settings, diagnostics, credential helpers, and safe local development preferences while expanding Linux desktop smoke coverage.

added

  • Add persisted editor, terminal, diagnostics, and performance preferences without executing local tools implicitly.
  • Add native Linux desktop smoke coverage for the core workspace workflow.

changed

  • Expose platform-aware settings and helper guidance through a typed native facade.
  • Make credential-helper enrollment and diagnostics behavior clearer during setup and troubleshooting.

fixed

  • Replace fragile native prompt handling with an app-owned stash confirmation flow.

Revus 0.5.2

2026-08-08

Application release

Revus 0.5.2 hardens the everyday change-review surface and makes long-running repository work easier to follow.

added

  • Make the Working Tree changes panel resizable across a wider, practical range.

changed

  • Truncate long filenames instead of introducing a horizontal scrollbar.
  • Balance the main content spacing and reduce excess vertical padding in the diff surface.

fixed

  • Move update installation into the top-bar action while keeping Settings focused on update preferences.
  • Add persistent analytics consent controls and clearer release-channel settings.
  • Verify updates before installation across supported platforms.

changed

  • Make update progress, restart behavior, and failure categories easier to understand.

security

  • Analytics remains opt-in, and updates are verified before installation.

Revus 0.5.0

2026-08-06

Application release

Revus 0.5.0 adds a native Git stash workflow for preserving work while moving between branches.

added

  • Create a stash while switching branches from a dirty working tree.
  • Review saved stashes and apply, pop, or drop them from the branch workspace.

changed

  • Stashes can include untracked files so an in-progress change set remains intact.

Revus 0.4.1

2026-08-06

Application release

Revus 0.4.1 adds transparent, opt-in product tracking while keeping the application fully functional without consent.

added

  • An optional Product tracking setting in Privacy & Data settings.
  • Consent-based lifecycle, update, and anonymized error-class events with offline retry.

changed

  • Tracking is disabled by default and withdrawing consent clears the local event queue.

security

  • Telemetry excludes repository contents, paths, URLs, accounts, hardware identifiers, and fingerprints.

Revus 0.4.0

2026-08-05

Application release

Revus 0.4.0 makes application updates easier to understand and keeps the final restart in the user’s hands.

added

  • Automatic update checks can be enabled or disabled in Settings while manual checks remain available.
  • Update downloads show live progress with percentage and byte counts.
  • Updates finish with an explicit Restart action instead of forcing an immediate restart.

changed

  • Updater failures now expose clearer categories for offline access, invalid manifests, signatures, disk space, replacement, and cancellation.

security

  • Signed updates continue to be verified before replacement.

Revus 0.3.1

2026-08-05

Application release

Revus 0.3.1 refines the remote workflow by keeping remote configuration and operations available without taking space from the primary workspace navigation.

changed

  • Remote management now opens in a focused dialog from the workspace header instead of taking a permanent sidebar slot.
  • The dialog explains Git remotes such as origin and upstream and keeps operation controls consistently padded.

Revus 0.3.0

2026-08-05

Application release

Revus 0.3.0 adds the first complete remote-workflow surface: inspect configured remotes, run remote Git operations, follow their progress, and recover from common failures with actionable guidance.

added

  • A Remotes workspace for fetching, pulling, pushing, and publishing the current branch.
  • Live operation status with progress messages, cancellation, and completion feedback.

changed

  • Remote failures now provide clearer guidance for authentication, SSH, divergence, and permissions.
