release/0.14.0

New features

• Stacked Branches: You can now split a lane into multiple, dependent branches
• Stacked Pull Requests: If your remote is GitHub, the app can create and manage stacks of PRs (where each PR targets its predecessor)

The stacking functionality allows you to split your work into smaller units (PRs) helping with the review process.
Files and diffs that are locked 🔒(depending on prior commits) can now be put in a separate branch within the same stack.

Here's a documentation page which describes in full how this works: https://docs.gitbutler.com/features/stacked-branches

Fixes

• Fixes a bug where the app does not prompt for ssh/https credentials when they are needed
• Fixes a bug where the branch link was incorrect for some non-GitHub remotes
• Fixes an issue where CI "neutral" status is not displayed as "passing"
• Fixes a bug where commit message generation was not respecting the %{branch_name} placeholder
• Adds a Cursor as an option to the "open in editor" config list
