New Windows Terminal 1.24.10621.0 for Windows 11 and 10 - March 5



 Github:

We kept Windows Terminal 1.24 out of the stable channel for an extra release cycle just to make sure it was up to par, and now it is. Welcome to 1.24.

1.24 brings a handful of new features and a load of bug fixes, including:
  • Command Palette now searches simultaneously in English and your display language (unless that language is English).
  • There is a new page in Settings where you can see and control extensions, including all of our automatic profile detectors and any fragment extensions you may have installed.
  • Icons, background images, pixel shaders, and sounds can now use relative paths for both local settings and fragment extensions.
    • Unfortunately, however, we have had to disallow the use of icons available via the web (http, https and ftp URIs) as well as on some network shares to prevent information leakage, tracking pixels and extension providers "phoning home".
Support for automatic detection of SSH hosts is not currently present in this release.

Please see the following release notes for additional details:

Note

This version began rolling out to the Dev, Canary and Beta Windows Insider channels when this GitHub Release was created. Other channels will be released
as our reliability numbers indicate that we haven't broken anything. If you want to update to this release directly, download it below!


Why are there so many files? How do I choose?​

Please visit our page documenting the different Windows Terminal Distributions!

This release is simultaneously shipping with some fixes backported from the new 1.25 Preview release:

Changes​

  • In the Settings UI, we have moved color pickers into a lighter-weight flyout rather than a whole dialog; as a result, you can now type into them (#19572)
  • We have once again enabled PGO, which should result in a 10-25% throughput increase on output (#19810)

Bug Fixes​

  • Previewed input actions will no longer stick around (forever!) after you dismiss the Command Palette (#19885)
  • Terminal should no longer jump around frantically while you have an active search while printing output (#19775)
  • Unfocused Acrylic once again works in the tab row (#19647) (thanks @AbhishekGiri04!)
  • Terminal should no longer fail to launch applications on clean boots with error code 0xD000003A (#19901)
With additional code quality and maintainability fixes thanks to @fab-c14, @pszlazak, @stynixkis, @04suriya07-spec, @benediktjohannes, and @Musaddiq625.
