Gitaur v0.4.0-beta.3

Gitaur is the new name for Branchlight. This preview introduces the gold guitar-pick logo with its Git branch cutout throughout the desktop app, icons, and documentation.

Changes

• Renamed application windows, executables, installers, and project packages to Gitaur.
• Added the approved logo to the title bars and welcome screen, with scalable SVG artwork and regenerated desktop icons.
• Preserved the existing application identifier and storage keys so saved preferences, layouts, recent repositories, and merge drafts remain available.
• Added GITAUR_GIT, GITAUR_REPO, GITAUR_USER_DATA, and GITAUR_EDITOR_EXE. The corresponding BRANCHLIGHT_ variables remain supported as fallbacks.
• Renamed the repository to MaximBalaganskiy/gitaur and refreshed documentation and screenshots.

Downloads

Windows x64: use Gitaur.exe for the portable executable, or the Gitaur_…_x64-setup.exe installer.

Linux x64: choose the AppImage or Debian package. Native X11 and Wayland smoke tests run in CI; interactive GNOME/KDE desktop validation remains pending.

Preview software. Windows binaries are unsigned. Git must be installed separately; Gitaur uses your existing Git authentication and configuration. Verify the four binary downloads against SHA256SUMS.txt. Keep the included license and third-party notices when redistributing.

Validation

The release candidate is checked by the Windows desktop suite, Linux X11 and native Wayland smoke tests, renderer and native Git tests, formatting, conventions, Clippy, dependency audits, and a full-history secret scan. Release publication is gated on successful Windows, Linux, and security jobs.

The existing Rust dependency warnings for proc-macro-error and the Linux GTK stack's glib::VariantStrIter remain documented in the publication audit. This branding release does not change those dependencies.
