• Remove reviewed: remove documents that have been marked as reviewed (unstage in git). Current files on disk are not affected.
  

• Smarter current-file change detection: deleted files now show up as changes when Current Files is selected, as well as modified files not currently open in FreeCAD, with a button to quickly open them to generate a comparison.

• Initialize Project command: create a new project (a.k.a. git repository) using the dedicated command. Allows you to select a directory detected from an open freecad file.

• Ignored files command: allows you to edit the ignored files (.gitignore) in your project.

• Dedicated documentation website: a new documentation website provides a dedicated space for guides, references, and developer docs.

• Performance increase: displaying document trees and tree comparisons now load 3x faster

• Minor quality-of-life improvements:

  • Clickable project name to open file explorer
  • Add "Save Iteration" button to the panel itself, to not require the History workbench to be currently activated
  • Better project/repository detection
