v4
Release Notes Highlights

- Improved repository load time considerably (#9243, #9735, #9864, etc) as well as other performance tweaks.
- Improved "left panel" with the added multi-selection functionality (#9723) and the ability to view git stashes (#10258).
- Improved filtering functionality including the ability to "exclude" git refs (#10240).
- Use native WSL Git executables for
\\wsl$shares to speedup handling (#9702) - Use the standard
FormBrowsefor file history and blame (#9445) - BASE diff: Icons for unique changes (#9720)
The following features and options have been removed:
- PuTTY binaries are no longer bundled with Git Extentions, please install PuTTY separately and change the path in settings.
- Theming is not supported - v3.x relied on EasyHook library to facilitate hooks into Windows API necessary for theming. However, .NET 6 does not support remoting and multiple AppDomain required for those hooks. To date no viable alternative has been found. #9191
- Removed TFS integration (8190d0c)
- Removed JIRA integration (see: #9659)
