BorgDock 1.0.0
Six new features, five improvements and four fixes in this release.
New
Multi-signal merge readiness indicators
PR cards now display multiple signal indicators (CI status, reviews, conflicts, draft state) at a glance, replacing the old single-score ring with a richer, more informative view.
New
Squash & merge from the sidebar
Merge PRs directly from BorgDock with one click. The PR list auto-refreshes after the merge completes.
New
Toggle draft / ready for review
Switch a PR between draft and ready-for-review without leaving your desktop.
New
In-app notification bubbles
Notifications now appear as polished in-app bubbles with smooth fade-and-slide animations, replacing the old OS toast popups.
New
Expandable floating badge
The floating badge can now expand to show your full PR list, so you can check statuses without opening the sidebar. It also supports upward expansion for bottom-of-screen placement.
New
Manual refresh button
A refresh button in the sidebar title bar lets you trigger an immediate data update anytime.
Improved
Polished animations throughout
Sidebar slide-in, PR card expand, dialog entrances, badge fade, tab switching, and status dot pulse all have smooth, consistent motion powered by a centralized animation system.
Improved
Better status color contrast
The yellow/orange status color has been tuned for better visibility next to red indicators.
Improved
Customizable indicator style
Choose between different indicator display styles in Settings, with live preview as you switch.
Improved
Crisp SVG readiness icons
Merge readiness icons now use sharp SVG paths with animated spinners for in-progress states.
Improved
Badge showcase mode
Launch with --showcase to preview all floating badge variants side by side.
Also in this release
- Fixed floating badge drifting out of position when expanding upward.
- Fixed Markdown pipe tables not rendering correctly in review comments.
