Full Changelog: v0.64.0...v0.64.1

What's Changed

This release has massive changes, but most of them should hopefully not be visible: I completely overhauled lazygit's concurrency model, which was, let's say, less than robust; there were lots of data races, and we were just lucky that this didn't result in crashes or misbehavior more often. We now have a robust concurrency model with no known data races, and in fact we run our integration test suite on CI with the -race flag to prove that. The user visible part of this is that some operations run a little more smoothly now; for example, there used to be an ugly spinner freeze at the end of checking out a branch, which is now gone.

However, since the changes were so massive there's a higher-than-usual chance of regressions, so please report any that you find.

Apart from that, we also have a few useful enhancements; the most notable one is probably that we now show the Github checks status of pull requests in the branches panel.

Full Changelog: v0.62.0...v0.62.1

The big change in this release is what I have been referring to as the "keybinding revamp": it allows you to use richer keybindings than the few that were available before; see Custom_Keybindings.md for details. It also describes a new keybinding syntax that is a bit more intuitive than the previous <c-x> notation (but the old one is still supported for backwards compatibility).

Note the section about Terminal compatibility in that document; not all terminals support the new protocol equally well, so it may be a good idea to switch to one that does.

Breaking change: The default keybinding for submitting a commit from the commit description editor has changed from alt-enter to command-enter on Mac, or ctrl-enter on Linux and Windows; these are the same bindings that are used in many multi-line edit field situations, e.g. in GitHub comments. Unfortunately these are not supported by all terminals; see the above-mentioned terminal compatibility for more on that. If you want to revert this change, you can do so by adding the following to your config:

keybinding:
  universal:
    confirmInEditor: [<alt+enter>, <ctrl+s>]

The complete list of changes follows:
