The recent SourceTree release was dire, aside from the UI changes, it was just broken in too many places. This happens, but what really got my goat was the original tweet in this thread, https://twitter.com/cody_watkins/status/700023288085372928.

It wasn't a beta version, it was a main release and the quality was too poor for them to admit it. This is just sleazy PR.

The quality was poor even if you could get it to work; signing into Bitbucket (also by Atlassian) repeatedly crashed the app for me, which wouldn't have been a problem if it didn't automatically attempt to (and then hang) every time I opened it.

Hey David - it was a mistake on our side. Said that we're planning a new beta release process for our upcoming SourceTree releases and we’ll share more in a blog post in the coming days.
