It is packed with some juicy features and tons of bug fixes and quality-of-life
improvements.

Let's take a look:

### Highlights

- GoReleaser Pro now has a `templated_files` (or `templated_extra_files`) in
  several fields: archives, blobs, checksum, custom_publishers, docker, nfpms,
  release, snapcrafts and source
- GoReleaser can now open pull requests of homebrew taps, brews and scoop
  instead of just pushing it to a branch
- Some smaller improvements in templates, like the new `.Now` and `.IsDraft`
  template variables (tip: `{{ .Now.Format "2006" }}` to format the date time as
  you want)
- Default Parallelism now matches Linux container CPU
- Some errors have been improved to be more clear on how to fix them
- Many improvements in the documentation
- As always, a lot of bug fixes, dependency updates and improvements!

You can [install][] the same way you always do, and you can see the full release
notes [here][oss-rel] and [here (for Pro)][pro-rel].
