Baton Changelog: Baton Desktop 0.1.5 — macOS (Apple Silicon)

All releases

Baton Desktop 0.1.5 — macOS (Apple Silicon)

0.1.5 is a refinement release. AI answers are typeset for reading, the pop-out window works like a real window, release notes move to the web, and dozens of everyday interactions across the app have been tightened up.

AI conversations are easier to read

  • Long answers, re-typeset. Paragraph spacing, list indentation, and heading hierarchy were retuned for reading, with separate line-height for Chinese and English.
  • One-click copy on code blocks, tables, and your own messages, with one consistent button.
  • Clickable file paths. A workspace path mentioned in a reply opens in your system's default app.

The pop-out window is a lot more useful

  • Default size grew from 480×620 to 640×760.
  • Two-line title bar — tab title plus a project › branch · mode breadcrumb — so several pop-outs stay distinguishable; collapse it to a single line when you want.
  • ⌘W closes the pop-out tab; ⌘= / ⌘− / ⌘0 zoom, matching the main window.
  • A cleaner drag preview, and a "Restore" icon in the tab bar for tabs that are already popped out.

Release notes moved to the web

"Release notes" now opens the versioned changelog on hecara.com, so every release is shareable.

Interface polish

  • Dialogs: one title size and weight everywhere; Import MCP servers trimmed to "not imported → select → import".
  • Select menus: long options marquee on hover to reveal the full text (ellipsis instead when "reduce motion" is on).
  • Target branch: scrolling inside the popover no longer closes it; candidates show just the remote ref name.
  • GitHub workflow buttons: only Merge keeps a solid green; the rest return to a neutral outline.
  • Sidebar: an archiving workspace shows a grid-dot icon with a sweep across its title; fixed tooltips flickering in sequence while scanning icons, and a tooltip flashing on menu-button clicks.
  • AI composer: attachment chips align with the text; Add / Screenshot buttons reveal on hover; a more refined card shadow.
  • Project group page: centered and narrower, clearer Objective and Workspaces count, and the inaccurate status pill is gone.
  • Projects settings: rearranged layout with the Space / Project pickers on one row, and script sections merged into a single "Workspace scripts" card.
  • Skills settings render the list immediately and fill in each skill's location in the background instead of waiting for a full scan.
  • The Local / Worktree badge in the session header is now a pill; selected settings chips no longer go bold; a few kanban and hover-card buttons were aligned to the same height.
