Significant new features include support for Group Policy templates for configuring the Default Terminal application, the ability to display more meaningful error messages upon application launch failures, and language overriding capabilities for both portable and unpackaged versions of the terminal. Additionally, VT (Virtual Terminal) applications can now reset various color palettes—such as foreground, background, cursor, and selection colors—using specific OSC (Operating System Command) codes.
The update also brings improvements in session management by correctly displaying session dates in local time instead of UTC, enhancing the user interface with better padding to prevent overlapping controls, and improving accessibility features, allowing the "Open JSON File" option to be accessed via Voice Access or screen readers.
Compatibility with older Windows versions has been improved, ensuring that Terminal components load correctly on versions prior to 1903 by addressing issues with a missing ICU library. Moreover, the update fixes various technical bugs, including proper CRLF translation, preventing screen corruption when using certain console APIs, and ensuring that closing an active terminal pane results in significantly fewer crashes.
Overall, Windows Terminal v1.22.11141.0 is a robust update that enhances functionality, accessibility, and reliability, making it a valuable tool for users looking for a powerful terminal experience.
In future updates, users can expect further enhancements to performance and compatibility with more legacy systems, as well as additional customization options that can cater to the diverse needs of developers and system administrators. Continuous feedback from the community will play a crucial role in shaping these forthcoming features and improvements
