This is the first lazygit release after Jesse passed the maintainership to me (@stefanhaller), and I'm excited (and a little bit nervous 😄) about it.

No big new features this time, but lots of smaller quality-of-life improvements. The one that makes the biggest difference for me is an improved hunk selection mode in the staging view (in case you didn't know, you can switch from the normal line selection mode to hunk mode by pressing a). This now works a bit more fine-grained, by selecting groups of added or deleted lines rather than entire hunks, which often consist of several such groups. With this change I find that I prefer hunk mode over line mode in most cases, so I added a user config to switch to hunk automatically upon entering the staging view; it is off by default, but I encourage you to enable it (gui.useHunkModeInStagingView) to see if you like it as much as I do. Feedback about this is welcome; please comment on the PR if you have any.

The detailed list of all changes follows:
