Highlights


We have the Zoxide Panel now. Ensure zoxide is installed on your system, set zoxide_support to true in the config, and press z to use zoxide. 


File previewing is now async, meaning reduced lag while scrolling through images, or on slow systems.


Many bug fixes. See 'Detailed Change Summary'


Internal Updates

Most file operations are now truly async with the usage of the recommended tea.Cmd pattern.
Enabled many new linters to improve code quality.
Moved golangci-lint to v2. Now developers don't need to keep the old v1 in their systems.
Refactored file preview in its own package for better maintainability and readability.
Fixed flaky unit tests.
