Dustin L. Howett has announced the release of Windows Terminal 1.5.10271.0.





Windows Terminal is a new, modern, feature-rich, productive terminal application for command-line users. It includes many of the features most frequently requested by the Windows command-line community including support for tabs, rich text, globalization, configurability, theming & styling, and more. We've also backported the following changes and bug fixes from Windows Terminal Preview v1.6.10272.0:

Changes

  • We're finally on Microsoft.UI.Xaml 2.5.0, not a prerelease! ( #8500)
  • Our annoying "keyboard/handwriting service" dialog is now a slightly less annoying info bar ( #8524)
  • The "Open Windows Terminal here" menu item will now (finally!) show up inside directories (thanks @hereafter!) ( #8638)
  • You can now drag/drop more types of things on Terminal: files, links, weird VS Code tab items (?) (thanks @skyline75489!) ( #8461)
  • We've updated the iconography in the menus to better match its purpose (thanks @hegenumo!) ( #8424)

Bug Fixes

General

  • Terminal now tries harder to scroll tabs into view when you navigate (thanks @Don-Vito!) ( #8832)
  • Right-click paste now clears any active selection (thanks @Don-Vito!) ( #8742)
  • Pastes containing \n are now properly normalized to \r ( #8634)
  • The buttons in the title bar have been cajoled into being the right colors when the app theme doesn't match the system theme (thanks @satken2!) ( #8649)
  • The initialRows/initialCols settings should work more reliably in the presence of padding (thanks @hegenumo!) ( #8584)
    • (Are we bad at math? You'd never be able to tell after this pull request!)
  • Commandline arguments to wt that conflict with wt new-tab should now be detected properly (thanks @Don-Vito!) ( #8315)
  • The tab close button now matches the tab text when you override the tab color (whoops) (thank #dcheatha!) ( #8209)
  • There were apparently still ways to make the terminal window too small. NO LONGER! (thanks @Don-Vito!) ( #8066)
  • The profile menu and command palette will now prefer your shortcut keys over the inbuilt ones (thanks @Don-Vito!) ( #8725)

VT

  • It turns out that we had the modifier key encodings wrong for VT mouse mode for, like, four years. Now they're right ( #8379)

Reliability

  • Terminal no longer leaks pty process handles when you close tabs (thanks to @vefatica for discovering this!) ( #8707)
  • There was a race condition in pane animation that broke pane sizes. The race has been cancelled (thanks @Don-Vito!) ( #8241)
  • There was also an access violation in animated pane closure, which has also been cancelled (thanks @Don-Vito!) ( #8218)
  • @j4james fixed an out-of-bounds exceptions in Set...{Buffer,Screen}Size (thanks!) ( #8309)

WPF Control

  • The WPF control now better validates its size during resize operations ( #8792)
