Version 2.2 of SourceTree was released yesterday and it is impossible to use without creating and signing in to an Atlassian account.<p>If you think this is pointless and annoying, please upvote this issue: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-3452<p>If you want to download older versions they are here (for now)<p>http://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/SourceTree_2.1.dmg<p>https://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/SourceTreeSetup_1.7.0.32509.exe<p>I'm not sure if the Windows version has the same annoyances or not
> I'm not sure if the Windows version has the same annoyances or not<p>The OSX version has the annoyance that it will not startup at all. Navigation to the Atlassian site to enter the account data does not work, and in-application authorization needs to be done via an all-white form. The application is not usable anymore, and I downgraded to an earlier version.<p>Logged an issue, and Atlassian is working on it (and on almost 15 other issues registered on this version, as mentioned in the mail from Jira).
The Windows version added the same in 1.8 which was just released.<p>I'm not sure what the fuss is, a company provides a (quite good) tool for free, but require registration. This is done through their account system. What's the big deal?
