      • In rare situations, a snapshot auto-save for the current branch can be triggered when switching from branch A to B. In such cases, the snapshot of branch B will be overridden with files from branch A, as the snapshot was taken with A's files just before the branch switch.

    Version 1.9 (16/11/2022)

    • [New]🆕
      • Git integration improvements:
        • [UX] The full name for auto-generated git branch snapshots in the Mental Snapshots window. The previous simplified implementation did not display git special characters in the branch name,
        • [UX] New git icon for a branch snapshot instead of <Git Branch> prefix,
        • New GitBranch JSON property created for every auto-generated branch snapshot. It allows to store full name of a git branch, and later use it on the UI. The previous implementation did not git special characters to be stored because a git branch name was based on a filename which has its own naming constraints.
      • More detailed context by storing IsSelected and IsActive for every opened document tab that is selected and/or active. In every tab group different document can be selected at a time. Those additional properties allow to restore a tab's state in a more granular fashion.
    • [Minor changes]🤏
      • [UX] Dedicated icon for a stashed snapshot instead of <stashed> placeholder,
      • [UX] A snapshot's tooltip with the full path.
    • [Bug fixes]💔
      • The last opened document in a tab group did not have a line & column set,
      • Some project's properties page using the legacy project format, and ProjectGuid property, were not saved in a snapshot. Added an additional fallback strategy to support them,
      • An attempt to change invalid absolute path to relative broke the snapshot saving process,
      • Small change in the release process to prevent line & column not being saved for a document tab.
