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
shortcutShift + Control + R
- #242

users - #186, #215
Bug fixes:

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
