Git Tower 17
In Tower 15, we introduced the “Fully Merged” badge and Automatic Branch Management to help you keep your repository tidy. With Tower 17, we’re taking the detection behind that badge to a whole new level. […] Tower now matches your local branches against merged pull requests from your hosting service, such as GitHub or GitLab.
[…]
Trust is everything when deleting branches — so we redesigned the “Fully Merged” hint view to show you exactly which checks matched.
[…]
One that is particularly noteworthy is that updating submodules is now significantly faster! Tower gathers each submodule's Git data concurrently instead of one at a time—something you will especially notice in repositories with many submodules.
I’m sad that they got rid of the yellow icon.

Ditching yellow for more gray and blue, in a dock full of gray and blue is indeed a loss
Rather nasty move in Tower's 17.1 update where they took away "preview" features from Basic tier and the app started nagging to upgrade on every opportunity: https://www.reddit.com/r/git/comments/1vf440j/tower_171_with_basic_license_now_nags_on_every/
They never advertised the functionality as time-limited - first time they said anything like that was for "Fully Merged Detection" in 17.0 only - and removed the functionality to existing subscribers.
@VS Not good. I’m a bit confused, though. I don’t even recall them mentioning a Pro tier, and I’m using 17.1.1 but it doesn’t seem to say anything about Pro features or upgrading in the UI or on my account management page.
