This is a quick servicing release to address a few issues in the 1.5 stable release.
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.
Changes
- This version of Windows Terminal comes with Cascadia Code 2102.03, which offers 23 bug fixes, support for new glyphs, control pictures, infinite arrow ligatures and more! (#9088)
- See the Cascadia Code February 2021 Update release for more information.
- If you completely delete settings.json while WT is running, it will now generate a new one (#9012)
Bug Fixes

Reliability and Performance
- The "Open Windows Terminal Here" shell extension will no longer throw a cryptic error about servers (thanks @hereafter!) (#8977)
- The terminal should no longer crash if you close a tab while it's printing text [whoops] (thanks @j4james!) (#8982)
schemes:[]orschemes:[{}]should no longer cause a crash on launch (#8995)- (There were a few scenarios that would cause this, but this is the easiest to write a release note about.)
- We had to disable the "Close..." submenu because of a platform issue that resulted in a crash (#9102)
