New Windows Terminal 1.25.2733.0 for Windows 11 - Oct. 2

Terminal 1.25 is finally stable!

Here are the highlights:

• A new settings search experience! We have a lot of settings; hopefully this helps you find them.
• A rich "actions" editor that will let you better customize how you interact with Terminal.
• Support for the "Kitty" input protocol, for a highly opinionated way to distinguish keyboard keys and how they were pressed.
• Window persistence with or without the scrollback history.
• Community translations into Ukrainian and Serbian (Cyrillic).
• The ability to configure how wide "ambiguous" Unicode characters are for improved compatibility with Chinese, Japanese and Korean console applications.

Please see the following release notes for additional details.

• Windows Terminal Preview v1.25.622.0
• Windows Terminal Preview v1.25.923.0
• Windows Terminal Preview v1.25.1171.0
• Windows Terminal Preview v1.25.1241.0
• Windows Terminal Preview v1.25.1322.0
• Windows Terminal Preview v1.25.1912.0

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!
