v0.2.0

This version has added support for custom previewers and custom preloaders, as well as completed most of the work on the concurrent plugin system.

In addition, it includes many performance optimizations, such as rewriting the entire file system, refactoring the entire UI rendering architecture, enhancing the task scheduling system, and implementing partial rendering for frequently updated components.

This version also introduces many meaningful new features, such as path auto-completion, real-time file filtering, Kitty Unicode placeholders protocol support. Read the changelog below for details.
