those are some cool changes. For those who can't/don'w want to watch the video:
- 24 bit color support added.
- lots of work to support more programs
- launch windows programs from bash (notepad.exe for instance)
- file change notification support (to allow for automatically rebuilding a website on file change for instance)
- can build a C++ project in Visual Studio and deploy it to your local WSL env, so you can run it directly from the local bash. (Visual Studio generates real linux binaries : ELF 64 bit lsb executable)
- Remote GDB Debugger: Can use visual studio debug engine to debug linux executables (It looks like this was possible before for remote machines [1], but now it can be done locally on a program running in WSL.)
