Cmder 1.3.26

on GitHub

This is the 1.x maintenance release, kept separate from the Cmder 2.0 release candidate. It lets existing ConEmu users receive the scoped fixes while current development continues through feature PRs to main.

Thanks to daxgames, David, Chris, Kobi Hikri, and the other contributors whose work and review history are retained.

Downloads

The old 1.x names and vendor/init.bat startup path stay in place. Windows Terminal and the 2.0 generated-cache architecture are not included in these maintenance packages. Back up customized config/ files before updating an existing installation.

Fixes

• Bound launcher configuration/icon path copies and correct executable-path API capacity/error handling, backported from the current-line fix for #3119.
• Reject missing or empty launcher option values safely while preserving explicit /c roots and slash-prefixed /x arguments forwarded to ConEmu.
• Restore the four TCC/TCCLE defaults removed by e3d9f81, using the previous implementation and retaining explicit user overrides. No new shell policy or TCC installation requirement is introduced.
• Apply native build-tool argument handling and safe vendor-name validation from #3118, preserve failed extraction inputs, and keep SHA-256 manifests.
• Preserve Kobi Hikri's original #3107 workflow fix and contributor credit; run legacy CI independently and remove the obsolete automatic merge into development.
• Support both ucrt64 and older mingw64/mingw32 Git layouts. The Full bundle uses Git for Windows 2.56.0.windows.4, the upstream security update selected from #3093.
• Keep Windows Terminal out of every legacy archive and Git out of Mini.

Compatibility and verification

The Full bundle's selected Git requires Windows 10 or later on x64. A 1.x branch name does not establish Windows 7 support; Mini can use an independently selected external Git, whose own OS and security requirements still apply. See Git for Windows prerequisites.

The tagged build, legacy tests, and CodeQL passed at the exact release commit. The source checks include Win32/x64 launcher regression harnesses, PowerShell 5.1/7 helper and Git-layout fixtures, shell-default fixtures, and all three packaging variants.

Before publication, all three real archives were downloaded and checked against both hashes.txt and GitHub SHA-256 asset digests. Archive integrity, vendor versions and inclusion, absence of private configuration, and identical launcher bytes/version 1.3.26 passed. Both Full archives contain Git binaries matching the verified official portable Git archive. An extracted Full ZIP passed isolated first/repeated CMD, Windows PowerShell 5.1, and packaged Git Bash startup with synthetic profile hooks; bundled Git discovery in CMD/PowerShell and actual Git execution passed. These checks do not claim interactive ConEmu/Clink, physical x86/ARM, soak, or broad existing-user upgrade acceptance. The TCC/TCCLE change restores the previous source implementation; no TCC installation or runtime gate was required for that restoration.

Launcher SHA-256: 94fdb85080488ea5e18e202b44259a229b0198facfa5cefc8902de0184cae817. hashes.txt SHA-256: f4bcecd8ab2e9d64b86c1741da8b822ab26a6978504cd416f25bcecea8d033b2.

Use a current 7-Zip reader for .7z files, or use the ZIP equivalent. This release does not claim physical x86/ARM testing, Windows 7 acceptance, or completion of the broader 2.0 upgrade work in #3132.

Preserved history and ongoing work

• Release source: 874525c57ba3813a1cf3d139cec679a3cd6d85d8 on legacy/1.x.
• Exact original master: the original baseline, commit 2b25c570a2b58c3c46b7f672a0a25677970aa9c7.
• Live legacy/main comparison, hiding whitespace.
• Exact release/current-source comparison, hiding whitespace.
• David's execution backlog, 2.0 RC, and administrator default-branch handoff.

Future 1.x changes should remain selective backports. New work uses short feature branches targeting main; all existing development work is retained and new feature PRs target main.
