Windows Terminal Preview v1.23.10353.0 Pre-release

Pre-release

The holiday season struck during the development of Terminal 1.23, so the changelog is a little shorter than usual. Even so, we're here with a new windowing architecture and some new fonts and color schemes. Enjoy, and please remember to file bugs and tip your waiters!

Features

Multi-windowing has been rewritten to be much more reliable and robust; the tray icon now works more consistently, actions spanning multiple windows trigger properly, summoning works better, and a whole host of other things are better. If you encounter any issues with windowing or process management, please file a bug! (#18215) (#18444) (#18445) (#18325) (#18345)
This version of Windows Terminal comes with Cascadia Code 2407.24; this version fixes a hinting issue in Arabic glyphs (#18499)
We're piloting a new color scheme, "Ottosson", which offers well-distributed and consistent hue and chroma based on the Oklab color space (#18502)
You can now turn on the tab bar for full-screen Terminal windows using a new setting (showTabsFullscreen, boolean, default false) (#18171) (thanks @GeekJosh!)
Settings UI Overhaul!
- There is a new New Tab Menu customization experience, in a new top-level settings page, that lets you add folders and profile matchers and more to your New Tab menu! (#18015)
- We've added a new Compatibility page at the top level and a Terminal Emulation page inside Profiles to control application compatibility settings (#17895)
- A handful of simpler settings like "rainbow suggestions", "cell width", "web search URL query", "color selection" and more are finally available as easy toggles (#17923)
- You can now easily set up bell sound (or sounds!), play them back to sample them, and remove them (#17983)
- Profiles have long been able to override the foreground, background and selection colors from their color schemes, but you haven't been able to set them via the UI. You now can! (#17870)
- We've implemented an icon picker that lets you easily input emoji, pick built-in icons, or choose icon files (#17870)
- The appearance page sports a new fancy spatial padding editor (#17909) (thanks @nukoseer!) (#18300)
You can now configure the translation of paths dropped on or copied into Terminal to use one of four styles: None (Windows, no translation), WSL (/mnt/c), MSYS2 (/c) or Cygwin (/cygdrive/c) via a new profile setting pathTranslationStyle (enum none, wsl, msys2, cygwin; default none except for WSL profiles) (#18195)
You can now copy the contents of the screen with escape sequences! Add a new copy action with "withControlSequences": true to use it (#17059) (thanks @FuegoFro>!)
Applications can now use the S8C1T and S7C1T escape sequences to enable or disable C1 controls; in addition, DOCS will turn on 8-bit control characters on stdin when it is used to enable ISO2022 encoding (#17945) (thanks @j4james!)

Changes

Applications can now resize the Terminal window (if it contains a single pane and tab) using CSI t (DTTERM Window Manipulation) (#17721) (thanks @nukoseer!)
Automatically-detected profiles which are no longer detected (because they were uninstalled, or in the case of WSL distributions unregistered) will be saved and displayed in Settings with an indicator (#18188) (#18207)
Focus will move rightward rather than leftward when you close the active tab (#18022) (thanks @michaeljsXu!)
In cmd and python (and other users of console line input), choosing a command from history will once again duplicate it in your history; this reverts #17852 (#18229)
On Windows 11 24H2, Terminal will no longer be updated while it is in use (this might look familiar! There was an issue preventing this from working until this change landed) (#18252)
Text selections will now begin on the nearest half-cell, mimicking behavior seen in text editors like Notepad, and will only cover a cell if more than half of it is in-range; screen readers will now properly detect empty selections (since we can now represent empty selections!) during mark mode (#18106)
The POSIX-style path translation modes will (finally!) properly escape paths containing single quotes (#18007) (thanks @a4lg!)
The settings UI now contains options to disable (or enable, I guess!) specific warning dialogs such as the ones for multi-line paste and closing all tabs in a window (#17933)
When customizing the New Tab menu, you can now override the icon for each entry (#18116) (thanks @GeekJosh!)
You can now bind an action to open the current working directory (as reported by OSC 9;9) in File Explorer (action openCWD) (#18013) (thanks @michaeljsXu!)
You can now bind an action to open the directory containing settings.json (openSettings action, target directory) (#17690) (thanks @e82eric!)
You can now disallow applications from writing to the Windows Clipboard (profile setting compatibility.allowOSC52, boolean, default true; Terminal Emulation settings) (#18449)

Bug Fixes

Ctrl+Insert will (finally!) copy selected text in the Command Palette (#18483) (thanks @eleadufresne!)
conhost: when you drag snapped windows between monitors of different DPIs, it will no longer resize at random (#18268)
Tab background colors will now work more reasonably in High Contrast mode (#18109) (#18306)
Screen reader users can now read all of the preview text in the Settings window (#18418) (#18481)
The "Close Window" action will no longer bypass the close confirmation dialog (#18434)
The font picker in the Settings > Appearance page is now navigable by keyboard, and selections made there will actually save (#18010)
We've rewritten a lot of our mouse input handlers to avoid rounding away fractional pixels and improve accuracy (#18027)
You can now close tabs with the middle mouse button even when the close button is hidden (#15924) (thanks @kasper93!)
The schema document has been updated to include the Windows.Terminal.VisualStudio dynamic profile source (#18322)
compatibility.textMeasurement is now present in the JSON settings schema document (#18277)

Reliability

Terminal will no longer occasionally hang when an IME is in use which calls back into the application while composition is ongoing (#18248)
We have fixed a reliability issue in some of our deferred actions (such as scanning the text buffer for URLs) (#18235)

Console APIs and VT

Client applications will once again be closed in newest-to-oldest order, and CTRL events will be processed for all clients even if one had failed during event processing (#18233)
Repeated console API calls that transit less than 128KiB of data will no longer cause heap thrashing (#18287)
The new readline implementation in 1.22 will now work more consistently in the face of concurrent output (#18326)
ReadConsoleInput will no longer spuriously return success and read 0 characters (#18228)
Zero-width control characters will now be joined with their preceding grapheme clusters rather than being allocated individual cells (#18285)

Miscellaneous Changes

Terminal now comes with a Markdown parsing library, aptly named "Sir Not Appearing In This Release" (#17585)

With additional engineering system, CI, code health, documentation, schema and packaging fixes from @Jewelry-x, @Jvr2022, @jsoref, @Tarang74, @Dan-Albrecht, @michaeljsXu, @raghav2005, @AsciiWolf, @YexuanXiao, and @mitchcapper!

Binary files inside the unpackaged distribution archive bear the version number 1.23.250204003-preview.

v1.22.10352.0

18d7231

Windows Terminal v1.22.10352.0 Latest

Latest

Windows Terminal 1.22 has seen fit to call itself Stable! It contains a bunch of great things, like:

A completely rewritten console hosting implementation, which now supports Sixels (thanks to @j4james and @lhecker), performs better, and is all-around an improvement. It may cause some compatibility issues, but it is also the future we're staking ConPTY on, so please file bugs if you encounter any issues!
Grapheme Clusters! Emoji with zero-width joiners, combining characters, Unicode flag sequences, and more. You can query for grapheme cluster support using DECRPM 2027, which is also supported by other popular terminal emulators.
- You can always go back to the original "Windows Console" text measurement mode, where zero-width characters were actually 1-width, and you can also switch to a mode compatible with wcswidth.
A whole new UI for pop-ups in CMD and Python (and other "cooked read" applications), which renders under the cursor and uses VT instead of console APIs
Snippets! Quickly save commands and play them back through a new snippets pane.
Regular expression search!

Please see the following release notes for additional details:

Note

This version began rolling out to the Dev, Canary and Beta Windows Insider channels when this GitHub Release was created. Other channels will be released
as our reliability numbers indicate that we haven't broken anything. If you want to update to this release directly, download it below!

Why are there so many files? How do I choose?

Please visit our page documenting the different Windows Terminal Distributions!

We've also backported the following changes from 1.22 Preview.
