Windows Terminal Preview

Like a famously-hibernating animal coming out of a long sleep, Terminal Preview is back to eat a bunch of berries visit your machine with all of its new peculiarities.
We took a whole quarter off to focus on 1.23's stability, so this release might seem lighter than usual. That's only because we backported hundreds of changes to the now-stable 1.23!

We've changed how icons work, and now we let fragment authors include pixel shaders and stuff. It's a pretty cool release, so buckle up:

Features

• Command Palette will now be displayed (and searchable!) in both your native language and English (assuming your native UI language is not already English) (#19166

While you're waiting for the excellent 1.24 release, please enjoy these bug fixes. With apologies to Canonical for breaking their icons.

Bug Fixes

• When you have multiple profiles with the same name, we will now save/restore the right one during session restoration (#19113)
• Closing multiple panes at once should no longer send Terminal into outer space, never to return (#19023)
• Scrollbar marks will now appear without you having to scroll or resize (#19185) (thanks @killerdevildog!)
• Using cooked read (cmd.exe, for example) in the alternate screen buffer will no longer cause a crash (#19186)

We have decided to hold off on promoting 1.23 to the Stable channel until our next release date in August. Until then--and you are welcome to speculate which direction causality flows--please enjoy these bug fixes!

Changes

• SGR 1 (bold) will now be displayed as bold for ITU indexed colors--those selected with SGR 38:5--regardless of the intenseTextStyle setting (#18903) (thanks @j4james!)
• Icon and background image paths beginning with \\?\ will no longer trigger a validation error; fragment profiles will also no longer trigger any image validation errors; in addition, http so

This servicing release of Terminal Preview has received a lot of bug fixes, many of which are also going to Stable.
There are a couple more spicy ones that we're going to let bake, as well as some Windowing fixes we hope to get out sooner rather than later.

Changes

• We have removed the startOnUserLogin setting from settings.json. It never worked properly. You can still configure automatic launch from the Settings UI, of course, where it will actually stay in sync with the OS (#18530)
• We now support Group Policy templates that help you configure the Default Terminal application (#18363) (thanks @htcfreek<

This is a quick servicing release; expect more to follow!

Changes

• You can now Tab and Shift+Tab between embedded hyperlinks in Mark Mode (#18347)

Bug Fixes

• Hyperlink underlines and mouse reports will no longer be off by up to one entire cell (#18602)
• Terminal should crash a lot less when you close tabs quickly (#18620)
• We've resolved a source of deadlocks on console session handoff (#18676)
• The About dialog should act less strange when you open it in multiple windows (#18636)
• Closing the first tab will once again result in its

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

Like 1.21, there's a small servicing release for Preview! This one is less small, but only slightly. If I spend more words on how small it is, though, the changelog will be longer than the diffs for the release.

Changes

• The built-in Box Drawing glyphs now look better on 100%-scale displays, and we've improved the ones with rounded corners (#18179)
• We've adjusted the drag-and-drop path translator to detect WSL's new distribution profiles (#18205)
• Terminal will now no longer generate WSL profiles when it can detect that WSL is going to do it (#18183)

Accessibility

• You can now access "move tab l

Very small releases this week.

Changes

• Enterprises can now disable dynamic profiles (such as WSL and Azure Cloud Shell) by listing their names in a new Disabled Profile Sources GPO policy¹ (#18009) (thanks @htcfreek for helping us ship our first policy!)

Bug Fixes

• Terminal will try a lot harder to avoid fighting with console applications about who exactly is minimized (#17829)
• icon none should once again work (#18030)
• You can now select fonts again (sorry!) (#17989)

Binary files inside the unpa

Bug fixes! Bug fixes for everyone! BEES! BEEEEEEEES!

Changes

• wt x-save was accidentally turned off in the Preview build, and has been turned on (#17881)
• The Command Prompt "quick fix" feature was accidentally turned off in the Preview build, and has been turned on (#17888)
• RIS (ESC c) will now return the color scheme to your preferred default if the application has modified it (#17879) (thanks @j4james!)
• Alt+Keypad Plus is no longer eaten unless EnableHexNumpad is enabled in the registry (#17954)
• The tab switcher wil

This is, perhaps, the largest release of Windows Terminal to date. I can't believe we're here, but we finally have support for Sixels and a new console hosting infrastructure (stay tuned for a NuGet package!) and more. Read up, and read down, to find out more.

Features

• Terminal and conhost now support Sixels! 🎤🫳 (#17421) (thanks @j4james!) (#17724) (thanks @j4james!) (#17581) (#17636)
• We have rewritten how hosted console applications are translated for Windows Terminal (and other ConPTY consumers) to be based on direct API->VT translation rather than "rendering" a point-in-time snapshot of the display.

Like its smaller and more stable cousin, this Preview channel servicing update fixes a handful of issues, including that annoying hyperlink bug. This update is currently rolling out via the store to everyone.

Changes

• The "built-in box-drawing glyphs" feature (as well as undercurls) now works with Direct2D as well (#17278) (#17454) (#17458) (#17464)

Bug Fixes

• New windows should more reliably come to the front when Terminal is already running (#17368) (thanks @flyingcat!)
• Autodetected URLs will no longer erroneously include the character after them (#17326
