So we're starting the beta testing phase with this already significant set of changes, and we'll have frequent beta builds to polish them for the stable release. Some more features are still being worked on and will be included in future beta builds. Watch the Releases page for upcoming testing builds of the Git plugin to use with 3.5

In this build, we also built it for 32-bit platforms (armv7 and x86) as there was some demand for it, so you'll find the APK is a bit heavier. Like with 4.0

This new beta 3 build comes shortly after last week's beta 2 to fix some of the regressions and bugs reported against that release. The only big change is that the classical build for macOS is now a universal binary, with both x86_64 and arm64 architectures included (to support the new ARM-based Apple M1 chip natively).
