• New: tab_bar_style allows customizing the appearance of the rest of tha tab bar.
• New: animated gif and png images displayed via wezterm imgcat (the iTerm2 image protocol), or attached to the window background via window_background_image will now animate while the window has focus.

• New: added ResetFontAndWindowSize key assignment.
• New: added ScrollByLine key assignment.
• New: OSC 777 and OSC 9 escapes now generate Toast Notifications. printf "\e]777;notify;%s;%s\e\\" "title" "body" and printf "\e]9;%s\e\\" "hello there". These don't currently pass through multiplexer connections. #489.
• New: exit_behavior config option to keep panes open after the program has completed. #499
• New: added --config name=value options to wezterm, wezterm-gui and wezterm-mux-server. The --front-end, --font-locator, --font-rasterizer and --font-shaper CLI options have been removed in favor of this new mechanism.

• New: configure window_decorations to remove the title bar and/or window border
• New: we now bundle PowerlineExtraSymbols as a built-in fallback font, so that you can use powerline glyphs with any font without patching the font.

• New: Search Mode: Added CTRL-u key assignment to clear the current search pattern. Thanks to @bew! #465
• Fonts: font_antialias and font_hinting are now deprecated in favor of the new freetype_load_target and freetype_load_flags options. The deprecated options have no effect and will be removed in a future release. The new options provide more direct control over how freetype rasterizes text.
• Fonts: when computing default font_rules for bold and italic fonts, strip italic and bold components from the family name. eg: if you set font = wezterm.font("Source Code Pro Medium") then the Medium text will be stripped from the font name used to locate bold and italic variants so that we don't report an error loading a non-sensical Source Code Pro Medium Bold. #456
• Fonts: fix a regression where bright windows behind wezterm could "shine through" on the alpha channel, and adjust the tinting operation to avoid anti-aliased dark fringes #470 #491
• Fonts: macOS: fix an issue where wezterm could hang when loading a font located via Core Text #475
• Fonts: Changed the default font_size to 12 points. #517

• OSC 52 (Clipboard manipulation) now respects the difference between PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD on X11 systems.
• Fixed an issue where large pastes could result in a hang
• Closing the configuration error window no longer requires confirmation
• Fixed: an issue where the window would be redrawn on mouse move. This was most noticeable as a laggy mouse pointer when moving the mouse across a window running on the nouveau display driver on X11 and Wayland systems
• Fixed: an issue where closing a pane would immediately SIGKILL the associated process, rather than sending SIGHUP. Thanks to @bew!
• Fixed: line-based mouse selection (default: triple click) now extends forwards to include wrapped lines. #466
• Fixed: the RIS escape wasn't clearing the scrollback. #511
• Wayland: fixed opengl context creation issues. Thanks to @unrelentingtech! #481

• Wayland: fixed window decoration and full screen handling #224
• Wayland: fixed an issue where key repeat processing could "run away" and hang the application
• Windows: the portable .zip file download now includes ANGLE EGL, just like the setup.exe installer has done since version 20201031-154415-9614e117
• Windows: Fixed ToggleFullScreen so that it once again toggles between full screen and normal placement. #177
• Windows: fix the unexpected default behavior of Ctrl-Alt being converted to AltGr for layouts supporting this key, the previous behavior is still possible by enabling the option treat_left_ctrlalt_as_altgr (to solve #392). Thanks to @bew! #512
• Windows: fixed "Open WezTerm Here" context menu in explorer when used on the root of a drive (eg: C:\). Thanks to @flyxyz123! #526 #451
• X11: fix an issue where SHIFT-Enter was not recognized #516
• X11: improved DPI detection for high-DPI displays. #515
• X11: we now load the XCursor themes when possible, which means that the mouse cursor is now generally a bit larger and clearer as well as conforming more with the prevailing style of the desktop environment. #524
• Improved and optimized image processing so that watching videos via timg - Terminal Image and Video Viewer works better #537 #535 #534
