Windows Terminal version 1.23.12371.0 has been officially released after being delayed due to reliability concerns. This update introduces significant enhancements, including a new and more dependable windowing architecture, a revamped user interface for customizing settings, and support for drag-and-drop path translation. The release also addresses various bugs and performance issues, specifically crashes in context menu handling and improved performance when handling buffers with numerous scroll bar marks.
Key features of this release include:
- A robust new windowing architecture with enhanced tray icon functionality, window actions, and "summoning" capabilities reminiscent of the Quake window.
- A new user interface for the New Tab dropdown menu, which includes settings that were previously exclusive to JSON configurations, such as bell sounds, compatibility options, cell size customization, profile-specific color settings, and a new padding editor.
- Improved drag-and-drop support for path translation.
- Enhanced application control over window sizing via CSI t (DTTERM Window Manipulation).
- Fixes for profile management issues, particularly when profiles might temporarily disappear.
The update is accessible through various Windows Insider channels and can also be downloaded directly from GitHub, where users can find comprehensive documentation to help them choose between different distributions.
In addition to these features, the release includes fixes backported from the upcoming 1.24 Preview, addressing bugs related to tab icons, handling of full-screen applications, and PATH environment variable overrides in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Performance improvements include faster handling of buffers with multiple scroll bar marks and better management of invalid paths during drag-and-drop actions.
This release reflects the hard work of contributors who assisted with build fixes, code improvements, and various enhancements, further solidifying Windows Terminal's position as a powerful tool for developers and users alike.
For those interested in exploring the features and updates, detailed release notes are available, and users are encouraged to download the latest version to experience the improvements firsthand
