    • Git log cancellation: Git log operations can now be canceled without terminating the application.
    • SSH/SFTP algorithms: Added support for the modern hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com MAC and legacy algorithms required to connect to older servers: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, ssh-dss, and hmac-sha1.
  • Editing and productivity
