Wintty 1.0.0-rc.10 release notes
Faster output, the ghostty 1.4 engine, Ctrl+letter that follows your keyboard layout, and eased split animation on the Pro editions.
Highlights
- All editions: The engine follows upstream ghostty's 1.4 line. Insert and delete character operations (DECIC, DECDC, DECBI and DECFI) are implemented, every attribute of one style sequence applies in a single pass, and a wrapped line's prompt marker is restored at the right margin.
- All editions: Output is cheaper to print: ASCII runs reach the grid as they are, style runs are reserved once per row, and rows that are already blank are no longer cleared or scanned again, so heavy output spends less time in the terminal and more in the program producing it.
- All editions: Ctrl+letter follows your keyboard layout. With Colemak or Dvorak selected, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+O and their neighbours send the control their printed key names instead of the QWERTY letter, and Ctrl+I and Ctrl+M are now distinguishable from Tab and Enter.
- Pro and Pro Legacy: Splitting a pane eases its boundary into place when motion is on. The new split starts at the pane's pre-split rectangle and is driven to its final ratio, and any other layout change - a resize, a divider drag, a restore - settles it there at once, so a snapshot or an undo taken mid-flight reads the layout it will rest at.
Fixes
- All editions: A redraw after a resize no longer leaves stale prompts on screen.
