v26.5.6

Terminal file manager written in Rust with async I/O for fast navigation and bulk operations.
Why you might care
Yazi is a speedy single-binary alternative to nnn or lf if you want modern Rust performance and smooth async file operations. It supports bulk operations, image preview (via kitty/sixel), and integrates well with shell workflows. Drop it in as your default file browser for faster directory traversal and editing.
