0.14.0 - Black Box

Codenamed "The Sandbox Conundrum," this is the first release in the 0.14.x series. This update brings many exciting features, UI improvements, and bug fixes.

Features:

  • Added new default Adwaita and Adwaita Dark color schemes - #157 thanks
    to @vixalien
  • You can now customize the working directory for new tabs. It can be set to
    persist the last tab's directory, the user's home directory, or an arbitrary
    location - #122
  • Closing a tab or a window that still has a running process will now prompt you
    for confirmation - fixes #201
  • Black Box now uses the default Adwaita tab style. As consequence, some header
    bar options, including "Show Borders" have been removed from the preferences
    window - #112, #253
  • Added the option to disable terminal bell - #106
  • Added the option to make bold text bright - #203
  • You can now get a desktop notification when a process completes on an
    unfocussed tab - #146
  • Context-aware header bar: the header bar can now have special colors when the
    active tab is running sudo or ssh - #239 - co-authored by @foxedb
  • Added open and copy link options to the right-click menu - #141
  • You can now rename tabs with the new tab right-click menu, or with a new
    shortcut Shift + Control + R - #242
  • Added a quick application style switcher to the window menu - #147

Improvements:

  • Some configuration options have been grouped together in the preferences
    window - #254
  • Application title is now bold when there's a single tab open - #235
  • Performance and bundle size optimizations - #283, #284
  • Black Box now has more Flatpak permissions to overcome errors reported by
    users - #186, #215

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that caused terminals not to be destroyed when their tabs were
    closed - #261
  • The window title is now centered when there's only one tab - #199
  • Improved keybinding validation, allowing more valid key combinations to be
    used - #245
  • Sixel is now disabled for VTE builds that don't support it. This primarily
    affects non-Flatpak users, as all Flatpak builds ship VTE with Sixel
    support - #273
  • Fixed an issue that caused windows launched with custom commands to not have a
    title - #237
  • Black Box will now show an error banner if spawning a shell or custom
    command failed and will no longer close immediately - #97, #121, #259
