Windows Terminal v1.11.3471.0

on GitHub

This release brings some assorted top-hitting bug fixes into the stable channel from the main development branch.

A preinstallation kit is available for system integrators and OEMs interested in prepackaging Windows Terminal with a Windows image. More information is available in the DISM documentation on preinstallation. Users who do not intend to preinstall Windows Terminal should continue using the msixbundle distribution.

This release was made available to insiders in the Dev and Beta channels on December 14, and will be generally available to everyone shortly afterwards. You can always install the update from this release page or using winget.

For the holiday season, enjoy the following:

Changes

• This version of Windows Terminal ships with Cascadia Code 2111.01.
  • The hinting on the brace ligatures was incorrect in the Italic style, which looked downright hilarious. See microsoft/cascadia-code#595 for more details.

Bug Fixes
