New Windows Terminal Release Candidate v0.11.1251.0 for Windows 10

Changes

This is the first release of Terminal whose name doesn't have "(Preview)" in it!

That doesn't necessarily mean we're done, but it does mean that this is the first release candidate.

Rendering (Performance!)

Terminal no longer renders the entire screen when something changes (#5345) (#5185) (#5092)

This saves 30-40% of the time it took to print out your huge synthetic test files from #1064 and it makes cmatrix run even faster.

RTL text should now be slightly more reliable (possibly readable! not necessarily "working" to any great degree) (thanks @schorrm!) (#5734)

Accessibility

Narrator and NVDA should once again be able to read out search results (#5478)

Input & Interaction

We've reworked how we handle titlebar dragging to not require us to cut a giant hole in the window (thanks @greg904!) (#5485)

Miscellaneous

Terminal now ships with the CRT embedded, so it can be deployed in places where the Store doesn't exist (#5661)

The terminal now has a minimum width (#5599)

If that width is too big for you, I'd love to learn why you want our beautiful child to be so tiny.

You can now click "Third-Party Notices" in our About dialog to see which OSS we're using (#5508)

cls (cmd) and Clear-Host (powershell) will now properly clear Terminal's scrollback (#5627)

This required some ingenuity. These two applications "clear" by printing a bunch of spaces down on top of the screen or "scrolling" the buffer to an absurd location.

The pseudoconsole host now detects these requests, only when they come from CMD or PowerShell, and translates them into the intended modern format of clear.

New tab/min/max/close buttons now have tooltips (thanks @Chips1234!) (#5484)

Bug Fixes

We fixed the bug where terminal wouldn't always scroll down to the bottom (and pretend it hadn't seen any lines below it) (#5630)

Pasting HTML-formatted buffer contents into Outlook Web/Gmail no longer includes a stray "WINDOWS TERMINAL !!!" (#5595)

When you request cleartype antialiasing over translucency, your text will now remain visible (#5277)

This comes at a performance cost. cleartype AA costs more when we have to compose it.

For those of you who like to use Ctrl+Alt as AltGr, that works again (thanks @lhecker!) (#5552)

The emoji picker should be better-aligned with your text (#5609)

VT & Translation

Lines that begin with blocks of color no longer sometimes have their colors stripped (#5550)

Performance

We now spend even less time constructing attribute runs and text render clusters (thanks @skyline75489!) (#5584) (#5644) (#5645)

Reliability

Terminal would, for some people, always crash on exit. An exit is an exit, but a crash is also a crash, and that made our reliability numbers stink. That's fixed. (#5629)

The backing console should no longer crash when you resize it when CMD is running (#5620)

A selection crash has been fixed (#5551)

Some accessibility scenarios involving the alternate buffer no longer cause crashes (#5399)

Windows Terminal Release Candidate v0.11.1333.0 (1.0rc2) to Windows 10

Changes

Some of you reported that text would literally melt, so we added two new rendering options to help congeal your terminal experience (#5853)

You can use the following (global!) settings to control various aspects of our rendering engine:

experimental.rendering.software (boolean): when your graphics drivers won't stay in their lane, you can opt in for software rendering.

experimental.rendering.forceFullPaint (boolean): you can turn off the differential drawing optimization that we added--at the cost of speed, you can have full determinism.

We're now shipping the latest version of Cascadia Code (and Cascadia Mono), 2004.30 (#5867)

Bug Fixes

Terminal Competence

git log (and other paged applications) should now copy with their lines wrapped (#5771) (#5870)

We should no longer leave old search result highlights laying around for you to step on like a small plastic block toy in the dark (#5798)

CSI 2 J (the non-destructive "clear screen") will now correctly push the screen into the scrollback (#5683)

Rendering

Box and line drawing glyphs now appear at the right sizes (and actually connect with each other) (#5743)

This works in almost all fonts, but ones that do not actually have glyphs for that range will still have some unusual visual artifacting.

Hundreds of emoji should now appear to be the correct width (#5795)

A special exception was made for characters in WGL4, the old codepage 437 glyphs everybody knows and loves and also hates. They're still narrow.

Reliability

Dragging a selection while resizing the terminal is not a reasonable thing to do, but it was even less reasonable for us to crash when you did so. We now don't. (#5855)

We'll no longer crash when the clipboard gives us the classic "high five! too slow!" (#5856)

Terminal is now more robust in the face of you trying to close the same tab multiple times (#5742)

Closing a tab in fullscreen mode will no longer cause terminal to stop responding (#5809)
