- **changed** — Theme file format for color definitions changed from Some(White) to Some("White") and now supports hex format like Some("#00ff00")
- **added** — Added support for intel x86 apple build in nightlies and releases as separate artifact
- **added** — Added support for BUILD_GIT_COMMIT_ID environment variable to enable builds from git archive generated source tarballs or outside a git repository
- **fixed** — Updated 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")`

Checkout [THEMES.md](./THEMES.md) for more info.

###### Added
* due to github runner changes, the regular mac build is now arm64, so we added support for intel x86 apple build in nightlies and releases (via separat artifact)
* support `BUILD_GIT_COMMIT_ID` enabling builds from `git archive` generated source tarballs or other outside a git repo [[@alerque](https://github.com/alerque)] ([#2187](https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/pull/2187))

###### Fixes
* update yanked dependency to `libc` to fix building with `--locked`.
* document breaking change in theme file format.
