Behavior changedStage or discard individual lines or hunks of a file.

Rename `gui.wrapLinesInStagingView` to `gui.wrapLinesInDiffView` and `gui.useHunkModeInStagingView` to `gui.useHunkModeInDiffView`. Writable configs migrate automatically; read-only configs must be updated before launch.

Replace `gui.branchColors` with `gui.theme.branchColorPatterns`, converting each prefix to an escaped `^prefix(/|$)` regex. If patterns already override it, remove `gui.branchColors`. Writable configs migrate automatically.

Replace `staging` or `patchBuilding` contexts with `normal`, and their `Secondary` variants with `normalSecondary`; review bindings for the broader main view. Removed contexts now fail config validation.

Selected text is bold by default; selection backgrounds adapt to the terminal background. Set `gui.theme.selectedLineFgColor: [default]` to keep selected text unbolded.

What changed in v0.66.0

The focused main diff replaces the staging and patch-building panels. Stack push/pull prompts, terminal-aware themes and detailed commit graphs accompany configuration migrations and validation changes.

Also: Synchronize stacked branches, adapt colors to dark or light terminals, and push or delete multiple tags.

Available in v0.66.0. Interactive custom-rendered diffs need OSC 1717 support; update Delta or Diff-so-fancy. Difftastic support requires the build linked in the release notes.

New things you can do

`P` offers to push the stack; `p` offers to update lower branches. `f` can reset branches whose upstream was rewritten, including a range selection.

AddedPush or pull the branches of a stack together from its topmost branch.

Set `gui.darkTheme` and `gui.lightTheme` over `gui.theme`; renderer commands can use `{{colorScheme}}`.

AddedUse different colors for dark and light terminal backgrounds.
