This version fixes many bugs and adds support for two new platforms: Windows ARM64 and Ubuntu (via Snap).

The release also introduces a new way of configuring keymaps. You can now customize your key bindings by using prepend_keymap or append_keymap without having to copy the entire keymap.toml file. (See this example. I am a Colemak keyboard layout user, which requires remapping many keys, but it's still neat.)

As for performance, this version rewrites Yazi's event system, allowing multiple renderings triggered by events to be merged into a single rendering more efficiently, saving CPU resources. You may notice that the preview pane no longer flickers when switching directories, as unnecessary intermediate rendering steps are skipped.

For packaging, this version adds yazi.desktop and logo.png files, which can be used in packaging scripts for different platforms.
