Tower 14 for Windows is here — with the new Branches Review view and much smarter "Fully Merged" detection! 🎉 Finally, a reliable answer to "is it really safe to delete this branch?" Here's everything you need to know 🧵

Repository full of branches? The new "Branches Review" view puts them all side by side and compares them against a base branch of your choice. No more scrolling the sidebar and inspecting branches one by one.

Sort by name or last update, then narrow things down with filters: - Active/Stale - Fully Merged/Mergeable/Conflicting - With/Without Pull Requests - Tracking errors

Ever deleted a branch with sweaty palms? That's squash and rebase merges for you: the commits on the base branch no longer match the ones on your branch, so Git insists it was never merged. Tower 14 puts an end to that 💪

Trust matters when deleting branches, so the hint view shows exactly which checks matched — and links straight to the merge commit or the merged Pull Request, so you can verify before hitting delete.

The sidebar footer's gear menu now controls what you see: reflog, stash count, grouped refs, the "Fully Merged" badge, stale branches, and stacked branches. Remote branches and tags also get their own sorting and filtering! Oh, and Tower is sporting a fresh new app icon! 😎
