Orbit v1.3.0 — Release Notes

The IntelliJ-style workspace overhaul. Orbit's IDE grows a real
tool-window layout — a permanent editor centre with a docked bottom tool-window
strip, a live status bar, and flatter, more professional chrome. The old
Ecosystem previews are gone; the Dashboard is now a focused Projects launcher.

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

Highlights

🧭 A real IDE layout

A project now opens like IntelliJ IDEA:

  • A top toolbar with the project, its language, and a live git readout
    (branch, clean/changed, ahead/behind).
  • The editor is the permanent centre — file tree, tabs, breadcrumbs and the
    CodeMirror editor fill the full height of the window.
  • A collapsible bottom tool-window strip docks one tool at a time below the
    editor: Problems · Git · Search · Testing · Terminal · Overview · Commands ·
    Health · Dependencies    . Click a tool to dock it, click again to collapse —
    exactly like IntelliJ's tool windows. The old in-project tab bar is gone.

📊 A live status bar

A slim status bar runs across the bottom of the window: the current git branch,
the active editor's caret position (Ln, Col), and the file's language /
encoding / line ending — always visible, IDE-style.

🎨 Flatter, more professional chrome

The marketing gradient washes are gone. Panels are solid, the title bar and the
tool sidebar are denser, tabs use a clean underline, and a project fills the full
width of the window like a real IDE.

🧹 Focused navigation

  • The Ecosystem previews (Blink/Killer/Flux/Beacon) — which were never
    backed by real engines — have been removed entirely.
  • The old Dashboard is now a lean Projects launcher; its coding stats moved
    into Analytics, and live per-project context lives in the new status bar.
  • The command palette and sidebar navigate the real tools — Containers,
    Database, APIs, Analytics, Settings.

Everything from v1.2.0, still here

Multi-file editing, workspace search, quick-open, the full git power center
(stage/diff/commit/history/branches/stash/tags), Containers · Database · APIs,
the Testing panel, live language-server diagnostics in Problems, the red identity

  • launch splashscreen, the High-Contrast theme, and signed auto-update with an
    on-demand "Check for updates" in Settings.

Under the hood

A pure UI/layout release — no engine changes. The 100+ orbit_core 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.
