Orbit v1.2.0 — Release Notes

The IDE release. Orbit grows from a developer command center into a genuine,
local-first IDE — multi-file editing, universal search, a full git power center,
Docker/database/API tooling, a testing panel, and live language-server
diagnostics — wrapped in a new red identity with a launch splashscreen.

Still everything you'd expect: local-first, no account, no telemetry, fast, and
cross-platform.

Highlights

✍️ A real code editor

  • Multi-file tabs — every file you open gets its own tab with its own
    unsaved draft; reopening focuses the existing tab, closing picks a neighbour.
  • Find, replace & go-to-line in-editor (Ctrl/Cmd+F · Ctrl/Cmd+H ·
    Ctrl+Alt+G), a live Ln, Col readout, and editor preferences (font
    size, tab size, word wrap) that apply live and persist.
  • Document outline — jump around a file by symbol.
  • File operations in the Explorer — create, rename and delete, with guards.

🔎 Search everywhere

  • Workspace search — fast find-in-files, click a result to open at the line.
  • Quick-open⌘/Ctrl+K and type to fuzzy-find any file in the project.

🌱 Git, as a first-class panel

A complete Source Control tab: staged/unstaged groups with one-click
stage/unstage, an inline coloured diff, commit, history with per-commit
patches
, branches (switch/create), fetch / pull / push, stash, and
tags — all on the git binary you already have.

🐳 Containers · 🗄 Database · 🌐 APIs

  • Containers — list Docker containers and images, start/stop/restart.
  • Database — open a SQLite file and browse tables, view rows, run SELECTs.
  • APIs — a REST client: method, URL, headers, body, and a JSON-aware
    response viewer.

🧪 Testing & Problems

  • Testing — run a project's test command with a parsed pass/fail summary
    (cargo, Jest/Vitest, pytest).
  • Problems — a unified, navigable diagnostics view that now includes live
    language-server diagnostics
    for your open files (rust-analyzer,
    typescript-language-server, pylsp, gopls) when a server is installed.

🎨 New identity + launch experience

  • A red visual identity matched to the website, a redesigned glowing logo,
    and a black-and-red launch splashscreen.
  • A fourth theme: High Contrast for low-vision use.

⬆️ Updates

Orbit checks for signed updates on launch, and Settings now has an on-demand
"Check for updates"
that downloads, installs and relaunches.

Under the hood

Multiple new, unit-tested engine modules — search, docker, db, http,
testing, outline, and an lsp client (framing + JSON-RPC + a Session
state machine + a driver that spawns real servers). 100+ engine tests stay
green, and the desktop bundle builds on macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon), Windows
and Linux.

Still to come

Split editors, the LSP go-to-definition/hover gestures, a debugger, and a plugin
SDK — tracked honestly in the roadmap.
