- **added** — Support BUILD_GIT_COMMIT_ID enabling builds from git archive generated source tarballs or other outside a git repo
- **fixed** — Update yanked dependency to libc to fix building with --locked

###### Breaking Changes

###### Theme file format

**note:** this actually applied to the previous release already: `0.26.2`

Ratatui (upstream terminal rendering crate) changed its serialization format for Colors. So the theme files have to be adjusted.

`selection_fg: Some(White)` -> `selection_fg: Some("White")`

but this also allows us now to define colors in the common hex format:

`selection_fg: Some(Rgb(0,255,0))` -> `selection_fg: Some("#00ff00")`
