New features:

• Mount commits as folders. This lets you browse the workdir at a specific point in time using your system's file manager. Available by right-clicking a commit in the Commit History. (FUSE 3 required + new optional dependency 'mfusepy')
• Auto-fetch remotes periodically (experimental). Enable this Settings → Advanced → Auto-fetch remotes every N minutes.

Quality of life improvements:

• FileList: Improve path readability by muting color of directory string (#77)
• GraphView context menu: Show branch name instead of "Reset HEAD to Here" (#71)
• GraphView context menu: Offer merging for any commit, not just branch tips (#74)
• Image diffs: Ability to toggle between old/new images
• Blame: Emphasize "new" lines with a different background color in the gutter
• Allow pressing the Escape key to quickly close detached diff/blame windows

Bug fixes:

• Fix impossible to open worktrees located in a subdirectory of a bare repo (#82)
• When a merge is blocked by untracked files that would be overwritten, show an error message (instead of denying the merge silently)

Maintenance:

• Continued from the work started in v1.5.0, more operations now use "standard" Git instead of libgit2. This should be transparent to most users; others may benefit from better interoperability with their Git setup. (Reworked operations include: Workdir Status, Commit Diffs, Export Patch, Blame/Revlist, Register/Remove Submodule, New Repository, Add/Remove/Edit Remote, Restore files after stashing)
• Some work on Windows compatibility (experimental)
