🛑 Breaking changes

The winptyCompat addon has been moved into core and is now enabled via the windowsMode option:

// before 3.13.0
import winptyCompat = require('vscode-xterm/lib/addons/winptyCompat/winptyCompat');
Terminal.applyAddon(winptyCompat); 
const term = new Terminal();

// after 3.13.0
const term = new Terminal({ windowsMode: true });

See the API section for more information.

⚠️ Deprecations

The on, off, emit and addDisposableListener APIs are now deprecated and are planned to be removed in v4.0.0 (#2008) via @Tyriar, they are replaced with the new "explicit event API".
```
// deprecated
term.on('resize', e => doSomething(e));

// recommended
term.onResize(e => doSomething(e));
```
We took this opportunity to slim down the events, cutting out some that we thought are no longer needed. If you are using any events that were not carried over to the new event API please create an issue and let us know how you're using it to see if we should expose it.
