Orbit v1.4.2 — Release Notes

An IDE-chrome polish pass. Small, tasteful refinements that make Orbit feel
tighter and more native — building on the v1.4.1 redesign.

What's new

📊 A richer status bar

The bottom status bar is now a proper VS Code-style bar:

  • The git branch and AI chips are clickable and open their tool windows.
  • It shows the current indent width alongside the caret position, encoding,
    line ending and language.
  • Every segment has a hover state, so it reads as interactive, not decorative.

⌨️ Keyboard focus rings & hover feedback

Interactive controls now show a clean focus ring for keyboard users, and the
activity bar and bottom tool-window strip gained consistent hover feedback
the small touches that make an app feel finished.

Everything from v1.4.1, still here

The icon-only activity bar, the context-aware title bar, the Plugins view, the
correct red app icon, and the code-signing pipeline (which signs macOS + Windows
once you add signing certificates — see
docs/SIGNING.md).

Still to come

Cross-restart terminal sessions, the LSP go-to-definition/hover gestures, a
debugger, and a real plugin SDK — tracked in the
roadmap.
