Orbit v1.4.3 — Release Notes
A look-and-feel pass. The chrome gets closer to a real IDE, the text reads
cleaner, and — finally — the Windows installer looks like it belongs to Orbit.
What's new
🧰 A cleaner, IntelliJ-style top toolbar
The project toolbar was rebuilt to sit closer to IntelliJ's: a branded project
chip, a clickable VCS widget (branch, clean-or-changed, ahead/behind — it
opens Source Control), a green Run entry, and dense icon actions separated by
dividers.
🎨 Retuned text colours
The dark-theme text hierarchy is cleaned up — brighter, more neutral
primary/muted/subtle tones — so everything reads a touch crisper.
📦 A properly branded Windows installer
The Windows setup no longer looks like 2003. It now carries the Orbit logo
(installer icon + a branded header and welcome/finish sidebar on a dark panel)
and offers a per-user / per-machine choice. The installer artwork is
generated from the brand SVG at build time, so it always matches.
🧩 Integrations in Plugins
The Plugins view gained an Integrations section — the AI provider is the
first entry, showing its live connection status and linking straight to its
settings.
Everything from v1.4.2, still here
The interactive VS Code-style status bar, the icon-only activity 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.
