I came across this while browsing [1]. That thread has a lot of interesting information about glacial rebound in it, something I had never heard of before. Apparently there's so much ice in Antarctica and Greenland that it has pushed t

This is a big release for the Terminal - with two major features finally landing: * Support for setting the Windows Terminal as the _default_ terminal on Windows. When that's all set up, commandline applications will launch directly in

It's a Win32 app, that just so happens to use UWP-like XAML for the UI. In the near future, the lines between a UWP app and a Win32 app are going to get blurrier and blurrier, until you should be able to do anything from either type of

This is definitely one of the smaller Windows Terminal releases, but the big news here is the Settings UI moving to stable builds. I'm sure not everyone loved editing a json file by hand to change the settings, so this should provide a

See it's weird - we've been referring to shipping the Terminal with Windows as "shipping in-box" ever since we started working on the Terminal two years ago, and none of us ever thought that sounded strange. Apparently,

Yea, I'm realizing now that isn't immediately obvious from the headline. This means that users won't have to go to the Store to download the terminal - it'll just be included with Windows.

Upvotes are not the only way of measuring the popularity of an issue, though they certainly are the easiest. The settings UI has had a _ridiculous_ number of issues filed asking for the same thing, while quake mode had much fewer. For whate

What the heck are you going on about? The Terminal uses UWP XAML, sure, but it's a Win32 app. I'm not sure how windowing on Windows is something that's the Terminal's responsibility to fix. The DPI scaling on the Termina

Ooh that's a really good idea. I'm gonna try throwing something like that together for the dev team. Thanks for the inspiration!

That's exactly the point for settings fragments! It'd be impossible for us to detect everything that anyone wanted to add to the Terminal, but hopefully now git bash can ship a snippet with their installer that the Terminal would

I'm most excited about the windowing improvements in 1.7. That's something that I've been working on for a while, and marks the start of actual deliverable progress in this area. At the end of this road is support for actuall

Frankly, the inversion effect isn't that interesting - it's literally just `result = rgb(1.0-r, 1.0-g, 1.0-b)`. We _will_ be adding more screenshots though, since that's such an obvious thing that I can't believe we miss

For the record, this was a community contribution. So we maybe didn't take the proper diligence in documenting this as we should have. Frankly, I'm no hlsl expert so I don't think I'm capable of coming up with anything c

This is probably the biggest terminal release since we first announced, and the whole team did a lot of great work with it. Obviously, the headline feature is the settings UI. Since we first launched, that's been one of our most popula
