Release Windows Terminal Preview v0.10.761.0 · microsoft/terminal

Features

Mouse Support (for WSL and Windows applications using ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT)
- Applications running in WSL and Windows applications that use VT (instead of the traditional Win32 API) can now request mouse mode (#4848) (#4856) (#4859)
  - The set of supported encodings and events is identical to that of the traditional console host.
A new profile setting, antialiasingMode, lets you configure whether you want text to be blurry or jagged (#4711)
- The accepted options are actually not "blurry" and "jagged", they are "grayscale", "cleartype" and "aliased"
- The default is "grayscale", because grayscale antialiasing is most compatible with alpha blending
splitPane learned a new option, splitMode, which accepts the value "duplicate" (#4683)
- Setting a key binding to splitMode: "duplicate" will make it open a copy of the current profile when you use it
Resizing is so much better we decided to call it a feature, even though really it was just a hundred bugs wearing a trenchcoat (#4415) (#4741)
- We'll also try to maintain your position in the scrollback when you resize (#4903)

Selection ranges now work properly (#4466)
"Visible ranges" now work properly (#4495)
The terminal control now has automation properties (#4732) (#4805)
Minor refactoring to improve code sharing and performance--it turns out that selection and UIA are very similar (#4560) (#4578) (#4797)
The cursor can now be hidden by client applications; there will be much rejoicing, but it will be invisible (#4902)
- Since the pseudoconsole hides the cursor when it moves it around, this should also hide some of the console host's weirdness

ACS is now insulated from Terminal's relatively poor VT implementation (all our VT magic is in the console host, which is a problem that nags us daily) (#4652)
- This means that PowerShell works inside ACS
- A bunch of other things work too, like mouse mode and vim and things people actually want to use
ACS has received an input and UI/UX overhaul (#4756)
- You can now enter tenant numbers greater than 9
- User-enterable text will be highlighted to indicate actionability
- When you type before connecting, you can now see what you've typed and confirm it before hitting Enter
- Things you type after connecting but before you get a shell now get sent across the wire
ACS now follows your shell choice set on shell.azure.com

A keybinding's keys can now be a simple string (#4714)
- This is intended to reduce confusion regarding key chords, which we do not yet support.
- All existing settings should work as-is.
We've added a number of warnings for unexpected keybinding situations (#4746)
snapToGridOnResize is now on by default (#4569)

The touch keyboard will now show up when you focus/click the terminal (#4867)
Emoji, Kaomoji and symbols should appear during composition (#4688)
We now allow IME input in Search Box (#4723)
We've made some changes to TSF input to compensate for Korean input methods not behaving the way we expected (#4796) (#4836)
Touchpad and touchscreen scrolling will now go at a completely normal speed instead of jumping straight to plaid (#4554)
- If you've set rowsToScroll to 1, scrolling will now be weirdly slow for you. Remove that setting; we're considering removing it officially ourselves.
When copyOnSelect is on, clicking, right-clicking, and click-dragging in terminals both focused and unfocused should act more reasonably (#4596) (#4819)

Ctrl+Shift+Wheel will now turn acrylic on or off at 100% (#4853)
An active selection will be deactivated when the window resizes (#4777)
When the pseudoconsole sends something it doesn't understand, it'll now do so immediately so the Terminal can handle it (#4896)
- VT sequences that we didn't understand but it took us two reads to figure that out will be flushed as a single unit (#4870)

When your system is in Dark theme (the one true theme), Terminal's window borders will now behave (#4817)
Characters that would have rendered outside their cells are now being kept in line (aggressively) (#4671)
When you press F7, it won't be snatched still-beating out of your clutches and taken away to Xaml land (#4807)
We had slightly regressed writing UTF-8 to the console if you broke up the lead/continuation bytes, and now that's fixed (#4685) (#4798)
We've fixed the leading two causes of there being a weird gray hole in the titlebar (#4829) (#4845)
When the terminal is maximized or fullscreen, Windows will no longer think we're a game and suppress the taskbar and notifications (#4857)
initialRows and initialColumns (if that's what we called them) should now be applied more accurately (#4825)
We'll no longer try to cut a hole in a fullscreen window so that you can drag it around (#4904)
When the cursor's off the screen, but only by a little bit, we won't try to draw it (#4901)
Terminal will now receive RIS (hard reset) from client applications (#4909)
Ctrl+Alt+X and Ctrl+Alt+Z will now be received by client applications correctly; previously they would be received with their Alt status stripped (#4940)

Sometimes we would decide that your font was 0.00001 pixels too wide and try to shrink it; we now don't do something so silly (#4861)
We fixed a bug where sometimes we would break an emoji (or more importantly, a CJK ideograph) in half and render two copies of it, one big and one small (#4668) (#4731)
When we have to shrink a glyph to fit it in a cell, we no longer shrink everything else on that line (#4747) (#4781)
If you like retro scanlines and have a high-DPI display, those scan lines should now be way more visible and not cause visual issues at the right side of the screen (#4716)
Fonts with glyphs with locale-specific differences should, when fallen back to, render as though they're in your system's locale (#4934)

The VT renderer won't generate a bunch of formatted diagnostic strings unless somebody's really listening (#4594)
We won't try to render more than once per frame (#3511) (#4698)
The VT renderer will now keep a format buffer high water mark to avoid allocating and freeing memory tens or hundreds of times per frame (#4890)
When an application changes the color but doesn't print anything using that color, we'll silently ignore it (#4877)
- It turns out cmatrix does this all the time, so now cmatrix runs a lot faster.

TermControl is no longer too strict about some of the pixel math done inside it (#4721)
You can no longer reorder tabs while elevated, sorry (#4874)
- We are pursuing a fix with the platform
ConptyConnection's had a use-after-free eliminated (#4871)
Fixed a rampant crash in TSFInputControl when opening new tabs (#4830)
