Windows 10: New Windows Terminal v1.0.1811.0 released for Windows 10 - June 30

Brink · Jul 2, 2020

This is the first servicing release to the Windows Terminal stable release train.

Each of these is a backport from the preview train (v1.1). Thanks for selfhosting the preview and helping us determine what to backport!

Windows Terminal now ships with Cascadia Code 2007.01. This version offers a variable weight axis ranging from ExtraLight (200) to Bold (700) as well as some metrics tweaks and ligature fixes.

Bug Fixes

The cursor will no longer obscure text, unless that text is the same color as the cursor (#6337)

Known issue: underlines are now drawn on top of the cursor. Follow #6499 for updates.

Win32-OpenSSH 7.7 is here to stay, so we decided to fix the issue that allowed it to break mouse input (#6485)

Our caption buttons now fade like everyone else's when you hover over them (thanks @AnuthaDev!) (#6303)

Text copied from the File Explorer's "Copy Address" option will now be pasteable (thanks @aldahick!) (#6146)

Every time the window was resized, we'd lose track of another GDI handle. Now, we don't (#6229)

Maximized terminal windows will finally put their tab strips right at the top of the screen. Unrelatedly, Paul Fitts called to let us know about this one weird law (#5881)

The maximize/restore button now more accurately tracks the state of the window (#5988)

Right-clicking the negative space between the tabs and the caption buttons will now open the system menu (#6443)

Some of you thought it would be a good idea to close a tab while dragging it around. I couldn't figure out why you wanted to do that, but it will at least now not do something strange... (#5883)

You can now drag and drop snippets of text onto the Terminal and it'll do roughly what you'd expect (#5865)

The keen-eyed among you may have noticed that the 6x6x6 xterm color cube was totally horked. Thanks to @j4james, this egregious sin has been corrected (#5999)

Terminal will no longer rely on PATH lookup for cmd and powershell. They ship as part of Windows, so we should know exactly where they are. (#6684)

Performance

We've added a couple fast paths to things that the profiler told us were taking more time than we expected. (#6493) (#6501) (#6420) (#4608)

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

Open a new Explorer window.

Click View in the ribbon.

Click Options.

Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”

Click OK

New Windows Terminal Preview v1.1.1812.0 update for Windows 10 June 18

This is a small servicing update to the Windows Terminal Preview release train.

Windows Terminal Preview now ships with Cascadia Code 2007.01. This version offers a variable weight axis ranging from ExtraLight (200) to Bold (700) as well as some metrics tweaks and ligature fixes.

Bug Fixes

Compact tab sizing should now work more reliably (and not only apply to tabs that were open when you first switched into compact mode. oops!) (#6670)

We've reverted a glyph shaping-related performance improvement that caused a bunch of applications to look downright strange (#6665)

Terminal will no longer rely on PATH lookup for cmd and powershell. They ship as part of Windows, so we should know exactly where they are. (#6684)
