This version of Windows Terminal exists only to address compatibility issues with the Scoop package manager.
The only change in this release addresses a crash that was introduced in the 1.7 stable and 1.8 preview releases, encountered when Terminal was run outside of its application package.
This release is not intended for store installation (though store installation will work.)
We will not be releasing this version to the Microsoft Store.
This release does not come with a preinstallation kit (unlike the prior stable release.)
Bug Fixes
- We fixed a crash on launch that you would encounter when running terminal unpackaged (#9893)
As a note: unpackaged activation receives only best-effort support. A package manager that is relying on it is not using a fully-supported activation path for Terminal.
