This is the latest preview release of Windows Terminal!
Features
- Jumplist support has finally landed! (#7515)
- Applications can now generate hyperlinks that you'll actually be able to click on! (#7251) (#7420) (#7523) (#7608)
- This is NOT the same thing as automatic hyperlink detection! We're still working on that one, and didn't want to ship it until it was darn good and ready.
Changes
- Windows Terminal 1.4 ships with an updated version of Cascadia Code with support for the Salishan languages of the Pacific Northwest
- Cascadia Code 2009.21 is not currently available outside of Terminal because of some cross-platform font rendering troubles
- We made some behind-the-scenes changes to settings handling in support of our eventual Settings UI (#7283) (#7349) (#7457) (#7576) (#7537)
- The Azure Cloud Shell profile no longer defaults to having acrylic enabled (thanks @KnapSac!) (#7573)
- We now have support for fancy blinking text (
SGR 5
) for those of you who are just super excited about BBSes (thanks @j4james!) (#7490)
VT Support
- We now support
DECSCUSR
with the parameter value0
(\e[0 q
) to restore your cursor to the profile's default (thanks @skyline75489!) (#7379) C1
control characters, which aren't really UTF-8-clean, are now better-supported (see below for attribution)- Terminal will now ignore
SOS
,APC
andPM
sequences that it does not understand (which is all of them) (thanks @skyline75489!) (#7340)
Bug Fixes
Console Basics
- We fixed that weird issue where Vim would occasionally start in
REPLACE
mode by moving allDSR
responses to the tail of the input queue instead of the head (#7583) - Calling
FillConsoleOutputCharacterA
with an invalid character in codepage 50220 should now return the right error status more often than not (#7391)
Accessibility
- Degenerate ranges should stay degenerate, even when they're moved (thanks @codeofdusk!) (#7530)
Reliability
- Selecting an out-of-bounds text range through Narrator or NVDA should no longer take Terminal to a nice quiet farm upstate (thanks @codeofdusk!) (#7504)
- An occasional deadlock on shutdown has been unlocked, and shutdown should proceed as planned (#7575)
