The last several times I tried to update Sourcetree, it got significantly worse, with features and functionality being silently removed or broken left and right. Every UI 'improvement' they made felt backwards to me. Simple quality of life things like being able to drag files between the staged/unstaged area just stopped working. Then, trying to guess/figure out the correct previous version you were running that had…
By the way, did you get the 2.0 update in the old 1.9 version? I didn't :/
FWIW, the beta version did manage to update to final 2.0
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I believe they mean the software is "SourceTree for Windows", and the software just had its 2.0 release. Probably more reasonably titled "SourceTree 2.0 for Windows".
This may be because their OS X version hasn't reached the same yet. So they have 2, essentially completely separate products with at least mostly separate codebases, "SourceTree for Windows" and "SourceTree for OS X", each with their own versioning. So it really is "SourceTree for Windows 2.0", not "SourceTree 2.0 for Windows".
Have they got rid of the treeview of repos? That was a vital feature. I never used the tabs because they didn't all fit on screen, and the tab UI doesn't allow you to distinguish between different repos with the same name. Ironically they seem to have adopted what I considered the worst feature of Git Kraken. Oh, and it let you see all your repos' status (what branches are checked out) at a glance. This is such a pai…
Was really disappointed in the UI direction they took in 1.8+, but fortunately they seem to have backtracked a bit (icons now actually have labels and a bit of color again, etc). Giving this a shot and we'll see how I feel in a few days.
Hrm, I'm the opposite - I like icons to have clear, simple shapes. But I like this too.
Used to pay for this before it was acquired by Atlassian. Never used it since. Thought I might try, given the major new version number, but... You will be prompted for your Atlassian account details.

Looks like they opted to go for the "user local" installation approach on Windows, rather than installing per-system in \Program Files. I've seen other tools do this too.
Another positive change is the tab bar now occupies the entire horizontal space so you can fit a few more repos in. But, the tabs are still super wide (much wider than they need to be). This was changed sometime around 1.7 and I hate it. If you have repos with a lot of submodules you tend to have a lot of repos open so it really hurts this use case.
So yeah, please make the tabs less wide so we can have more open!
