Revus 1.3.12-1

2026-10-04

Public beta release

Revus 1.3.12-1 is a maintenance refresh of the opt-in public beta, with no new user-visible features. Stable remains at 1.3.10. This candidate is not a stable upgrade and has not completed the participant or live rollback acceptance for issue #185. Use disposable profiles and synthetic repositories, and follow the beta download page and field-test protocol before testing. macOS package validation remains deferred until v2.0.

changed

  • Publish a newer opt-in Windows x64 and Linux x64 beta candidate; stable remains at 1.3.10.

fixed

  • Refresh the recovery-readiness beta candidate for continued opt-in testing.

Revus 1.3.11-1

2026-10-04

Public beta release

Revus 1.3.11-1 is an opt-in public beta for Windows x64 and Linux x64. Stable remains at 1.3.10; this candidate is not a stable upgrade and has not yet completed the participant or live rollback acceptance for issue #185. Start from the beta download page, use disposable profiles and synthetic repositories, and review the field-test protocol before sharing results. macOS package validation is deferred until v2.0.

added

  • Add separate Windows x64 and Linux x64 opt-in beta downloads without changing the stable channel.
  • Prepare the repository-list landing experience and protected rollback foundation for field testing.

changed

  • Use the MSI-compatible numeric prerelease version 1.3.11-1 for the beta candidate.

fixed

  • Allow Windows MSI packaging for beta prerelease versions.

security

  • Publish signed installers with per-artifact SHA-256 verification metadata.

Revus API 0.3.1

2026-10-04

API release

Revus API 0.3.1 adds an automatic retention sweep for raw anonymous telemetry. Events are removed once their server-side creation time is more than three calendar months old. This retention period applies to API event records; it does not define hosting-provider or reverse-proxy log retention.

changed

  • Raw anonymous telemetry events are automatically deleted after three calendar months, measured from server-side creation time.

security

  • Keep retained telemetry within the three-month period described in the privacy notice.

Revus 1.3.10

2026-10-03

Application release

Revus 1.3.10 lays the groundwork for safer update-channel recovery. The rollback procedure still needs a later eligible release and a real field rehearsal before the public-beta rollback acceptance can be considered complete. Restoring a channel does not downgrade an already-updated installation.

added

  • Preserve per-platform release information so an earlier signed update channel can be restored after a bad rollout.

changed

  • Require version, signature, and download-integrity checks before a channel is restored.

security

  • Keep release files immutable; only the update-channel pointers may change during a reviewed recovery.

Revus 1.3.9

2026-10-03

Application release

Revus 1.3.9 narrows the information that can leave the app in a support diagnostics export. The public-beta test protocol is ready for real Windows and Linux participants, but beta validation and rollback remain open work rather than completed claims.

added

  • Add a Windows and Linux public-beta field-test protocol for upgrades, recovery, offline work, and support handoffs.

changed

  • Limit diagnostics exports to safe platform, Git, operation, and recovery metadata.

security

  • Exclude raw command output, branch names, paths, remote URLs, and credential-helper values from support bundles.

Revus 1.3.8

2026-10-02

Application release

Revus 1.3.8 makes the public-beta boundary explicit. The release includes a repeatable readiness check and an acceptance matrix covering upgrades, rollback, recovery, migration, diagnostics redaction, offline collaboration, and platform limitations without rushing the product to 2.0.

added

  • Add a documented readiness matrix for upgrade, rollback, crash recovery, settings migration, diagnostics redaction, and offline collaboration.
  • Add a repeatable evidence check for the 1.3.x public-beta gate.

changed

  • Keep the beta opt-in and separate from stable while the remaining acceptance work is exercised.

security

  • Reaffirm that support evidence and telemetry exclude repository contents, paths, URLs, credentials, and tokens.

Revus 1.3.7

2026-10-02

Application release

Revus 1.3.7 hardens the local telemetry privacy boundary. Events still capture safe product diagnostics, while sensitive property names and values such as credentials, URLs, and filesystem paths are discarded before they can be queued.

added

  • Filter sensitive telemetry property names before events enter the local queue.
  • Reject URLs, filesystem paths, and credential-like values from telemetry properties.

security

  • Keep telemetry limited to allowlisted event metadata without account, credential, path, or remote-location data.

Revus 1.3.6

2026-10-02

Application release

Revus 1.3.6 makes cross-platform readiness easier to understand. Diagnostics now identifies the current platform, distinguishes the installed desktop runtime from a browser preview, and explains which dialog, shell, editor, updater, and credential-helper behaviors are available.

added

  • Show platform readiness for Windows, macOS, Linux, and unknown environments in Diagnostics.
  • Explain browser-preview limits and platform-specific credential-helper failure guidance.

changed

  • Make dialog, shell, editor, and updater capability boundaries visible before a workflow is attempted.

security

  • Keep credential guidance system-backed and avoid collecting credentials or repository contents.

Revus 1.3.5

2026-10-02

Application release

Revus 1.3.5 adds crash-safe recovery continuity for interrupted Git operations. After a restart, Diagnostics can show the last detected operation and conflict count without collecting repository contents, credentials, or raw paths in an exported support bundle.

added

  • Persist a bounded local snapshot of the last detected Git recovery state for recently used repositories.
  • Show recovery continuity in Diagnostics and include safe recovery metadata in support bundles.

changed

  • Keep repository contents, credentials, and raw repository paths out of recovery exports.

security

  • Recovery snapshots contain only operation capabilities, conflict counts, and detection timestamps.

Revus 1.3.4

2026-10-02

Application release

Revus 1.3.4 improves accessibility in the critical interaction surfaces used to act, navigate, and decide about optional telemetry. Keyboard focus stays inside open dialogs, returns to the launching control afterward, and primary navigation now exposes its current destination to assistive technology.

added

  • Keep keyboard focus inside the action modal, command palette, and telemetry consent dialog while they are open.
  • Restore focus to the launching control when a critical dialog closes.

changed

  • Expose the active primary navigation destination through aria-current semantics.

security

  • Keep the telemetry consent decision in an explicitly modal, keyboard-contained flow before optional signals are enabled.

Revus 1.3.3

2026-10-02

Application release

Revus 1.3.3 adds the operational guidance needed to support recovery-ready releases. The new playbook explains how to collect safe diagnostics, handle platform and credential-helper differences, recover interrupted Git operations, and verify signed upgrades or protected channel rollbacks.

added

  • Published a support and release-recovery playbook for platform checks, credential helpers, interrupted Git operations, upgrades, rollbacks, and migrations.
  • Documented the evidence required to verify signed platform artifacts, stable manifests, and website releases.

changed

  • Clarified safe support collection and platform-specific update guidance without requesting repository contents or secrets.

security

  • Support guidance requires redacted diagnostics and explicitly excludes provider credentials, private keys, raw helper output, and repository archives.

Revus 1.3.2

2026-10-02

Application release

Revus 1.3.2 adds safer recovery readiness for the early release. Preferences and shortcuts can be transferred through a versioned file, while diagnostics can be exported as a redacted support bundle without repository contents, provider secrets, or unbounded local history.

added

  • Export and import a versioned settings transfer file for preferences and shortcuts without including repository paths or provider secrets.
  • Create a redacted diagnostics bundle with bounded operation history for support and recovery workflows.

changed

  • Keep transfer and diagnostics actions explicit, local, and limited to safe application metadata.

fixed

  • Prevent missing release staging prefixes from aborting protected release validation.

security

  • Redact filesystem paths and token-like values from exported diagnostics and exclude provider credentials from settings transfers.

Revus 1.3.1

2026-10-02

Application release

Revus 1.3.1 adds a focused review inbox for provider collaboration. Pull-request checks, reviews, comments, and required actions can now be triaged from one provider-neutral surface, with clear refresh, stale-state, and partial-failure feedback while keeping the existing provider boundaries intact.

added

  • Collect pull-request checks, reviews, comments, and required actions in a provider-neutral review inbox.
  • Filter inbox items by unread state and required action while keeping pull-request navigation close at hand.

changed

  • Keep provider-specific review state local to the configured remote without adding telemetry payloads.

fixed

  • Make partial provider refresh failures and stale review state explicit instead of silently hiding work.

security

  • Review inbox state remains local and does not expose provider tokens or private payloads.

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

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

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.
