GitDesktop v0.6.1

Added

• Keep updater notes in step with the release. When a GitHub release carries a
  latest.json updater manifest, editing its notes offers to update the manifest's
  notes in the same save (on by default), so the "what's new" your installed apps
  show matches the release page. The manifest's version, dates, and platform
  signatures are left untouched.

Changed

• Room to write release notes. The notes editor in the New release and Edit
  release dialogs now fills the dialog — replacing the short fixed box and its
  drag-to-resize handle — so a long release body is readable and editable at a
  glance in Write and Preview alike. The Edit release dialog is wider to match.

Fixed

• A failed AI run no longer passes its error text off as a result: an outage or a
  usage limit that interrupts a review never gets posted to your PR, and one that
  interrupts a generation never lands in the commit-message or other drafts.
  Failed reviews land in Activity & notifications with the reason (automated
  ones with a one-click re-run), and posting a review that stopped part-way asks
  first.
• On Windows, AI-ignore patterns that use a backslash escape — the form a file
  whose name ends in a space needs — now hide that file from the staged and
  branch diffs sent to AI, matching how the rest of the app reads the same list.
• Your AI ignore patterns now cover new (untracked) files when a
  branch name is generated — in the app and over MCP — where their names
  previously reached the provider whatever your patterns said. Names that match
  are held back and counted in the prompt's hidden-files note instead.
• Branch-name suggestions in repositories whose remote isn't named origin now
  compare your work against that remote's branch instead of a possibly stale
  local copy of it.
• Base-branch detection now works in repositories whose remote isn't named
  origin (a clone made with git clone -o <name>), so compare views and
  generated branch names start from the right branch.
• Automated PR reviews no longer run twice right after a push, so a re-review
  costs one run instead of two.
• MCP tools that can replace or discard things you didn't list — assignees and
  reviewers, a milestone, a Jira assignee or label set, reviewer notes, a merge
  that auto-resolves conflicts — now carry a destructive hint, so a connected
  agent can ask first.
• Editing a release through the MCP server now keeps the latest.json updater
  notes in sync with the release notes, matching the in-app editor, so installed
  apps show the same "what's new" however the release was edited.
• A merged pull request's timeline now shows the commit it was merged as.
• Stashing selected files now tells you when there was nothing to stash, instead
  of reporting a stash that was never created.
• The MCP stash_push tool now says when the paths it was given matched nothing,
  so an agent can tell an empty stash from a successful one.
• Removing an ignore rule deletes exactly the rule you picked, even when another
  line in the same .gitignore differs from it only by a trailing escape.
