SourceTree Release Notes for Current Version

[Paul Munro]

Suggestion: Make an easy-to-access hyperlink to the release notes for the current version of SoureTree (at this time 2.1.11.0).

The release archives does a great job at providing access to the release notes for prior releases. https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/download-archives

For exmple, the download archives provides a link to the following URL that contians the release notes for 2.1.10.0: 

https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/update/windows/ga/ReleaseNotes_2.1.10.html

By modifying the URL for the 2.1.10.0 release notes, I was able to find the page with the 2.1.11.0 release notes.  However, on no page of the website was I able to find a hyperlink that took me to that smae page.

Suggestions:

1. Add the current release to the download archives.  Then the release notes could be accessed on the same page as release notes for prior versions.

2. Add a release notes hyperlink to the download page for the current version.

Additionally:

• When new update is available there is a little Flag at the upper right corner (Win)
• If you click it you can update and there is a link to release notes
• Clicking this link goes only to the landing-page of SourceTree
• ('Help>Release Notes' works)

Yes the release notes are available from the following places at the moment:

• In the app from the Help/Release Notes menu item
• During prompts to update there is a link to the updates release notes
  This link does take me to the release notes rather than the parent sourcetreeapp.com site.
• From the download archives

Currently there isn't a link alongside from the main www.sourcetreeapp.com download link.

We can look into that,

I have version 2.0.20.1 for Windows.  I does not show any hyperlink to the release notes for the latest version in the prompt to update.

This link currently takes me to https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ .

Yep, it's the same on my machine also. It happened on the version 2.5.5 which notified me about an update to the version 2.6.9.

Hi 

Thanks for the information. I can't reproduce it at the moment, but can you just clarfy where the release notes link is you are seeing this behaviour from?

Is it:

• In the Flag notification?
• In the Tools/Options/Updates tab?
  
  

Thanks

[Jan Visser]

It's in the update notification. And it does not take you to release notes.

HI

Thanks for clarifying. This sounds a bit odd but does it work if you click it twice? We have seen some intermittently odd behaviour with that link but as yet its not been reproducible every time.

[Jan Visser]

Are you asking if it works if I double click? Or if it works when I click the second time?

Second time it doesn't work.

I didn't try to double click because it looks like a link and the mouse pointer changes to a hand IIRC. I don't double click on links.

[minnsey]

I was wondering about clicking a second time.

I have seen reports of this, but not been able to reproduce it internally yet, so it seems to be intermittent.

We will continue to investigate
