Windows Terminal v1.23.12681.0 and v1.24.2682.0 Preview released
Microsoft has released Windows Terminal v1.23.12681.0. This new version brings together the modern Windows Terminal and its predecessor, the original Windows console host, in one convenient location.
Windows Terminal is a cutting-edge terminal application designed specifically for command-line users. The Windows command-line community has requested numerous features it incorporates, such as support for tabs, rich text, globalization, configurability, theming & styling, and more. The development team has also made sure to optimize the Terminal's performance, ensuring it remains fast and efficient while consuming minimal amounts of memory or power.
The new release includes several notable updates and bug fixes:
One significant change in this version is the reinstatement of the complete Dimidium color scheme, previously seen in Windows Terminal v1.24 but now restored to the stable 1.23 branch.
Another important addition is backported support for the mingw path translation style, which was introduced in a previous version and has been incorporated into Windows Terminal v1.23.
The team has also addressed several bugs that were causing issues with user experience. For instance, the issue where 'wt sp' spawned a new tab before splitting it is now resolved, eliminating unnecessary tab creation. The team has fixed another problem that caused deadlock when changing the terminal title hundreds of times per second. Moreover, closing and launching terminal windows should no longer result in unresponsive window controls.
Furthermore, Windows Terminal will no longer create Visual Studio Dev Shell profiles for SQL Server Manager, as this was a known issue (#19352). Additionally, attempts to render isolated bidi characters (LRI, RLI, FSI, and PDI) have been stopped, which may help resolve crashes that occurred under specific circumstances.
The team has also solved another potential crash that might arise when a window is closed while another operation related to window closure is still in progress (#19296). Finally, the rule regarding valid key binding targets has been updated; null schema is now considered an acceptable target for key bindings.
These enhancements and bug fixes will undoubtedly make Windows Terminal v1.23.12681.0 a valuable tool for users who rely heavily on command-line interfaces, offering improved performance and stability in their workflow.
Windows Terminal v1.23.12681.0
Servicing releases for everybody! Changes We've brought the now-complete Dimidium color scheme from 1.24 back to 1.23 stable! (#18563) (#19303) (thanks @dofuuz!)..
The preview channel also received an update. The latest preview version, v1.24.2682.0, includes enhancements to the Dimidium color scheme after receiving its final touches.
One notable fix addresses an issue where the 'wt sp' command would spawn a new tab before splitting it. Additionally, a bug that prevented fragments from containing bell sounds has been resolved. The update ensures that fragments can now include bell sounds and even supports relative paths for them.
The recent change to media loading was found to be incomplete, leading to problems with window controls after launching or closing terminal windows via the "default console host" process. This issue has been fixed, making it possible to interact with window controls without any issues.
Furthermore, the update addresses a crash caused by pressing Ctrl+Shift+V, ensuring that Terminal remains stable even when using this shortcut. Another fix prevents tabs from closing unexpectedly when right-clicked rapidly.
Moreover, the update removes an unnecessary feature where Terminal created profiles for SQL Server Manager. The SSH profile generator has also been improved to avoid creating profiles with unusual names and instead properly creates a folder on first launch.
The update also resolves an issue that caused Terminal to crash when exiting an application using the alternate screen buffer. Additionally, support has been added for left and right scroll wheel events in XTERM mouse reporting mode.
A potential solution has also been found for a crash that occurred when closing a window while another window was being closed reentrantly. Finally, the update considers 'schema: null' as a valid key binding target, addressing a long-standing issue with key bindings.
