Any specific complaints other than "has problems with some unicode characters"? Which characters in particular?

The plan is no new _features_ until 1.0. There was a good backlog of _bug_ fixes that were made since 0.9, so it made sense to push out an update with those, while continuing to work towards the eventual 1.0 release.

It IS open source! https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal Split panes is one of the things I want to see get done next personally!

Yep! FiraCode already works in the new Terminal. Ligature support is one of our most requested features actually

Actually we spent MONTHS debating the pros and cons of adding a sudo on Windows. Curiously, Windows is more secure than linux because it _doesn't_ have a sudo. In Windows, any application can set messages to another window at the same

The design is actually super prototype-y right now. the UX team is still polishing the design, but I believe the final answer is yes, we'll be trying to be visually in-line with the new chromium-powered Edge

The big annouce I mentioned above is that the source code is available open-source, at https://github.com/Microsoft/Terminal If you'd like to skip ahead before real previews are available, you could always compile

http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/united-sta... Seems to suggest that ~70% of the US still uses Windows as their primary desktop environment, so you might have a very particular selection bias.

Proper resizing has existed in the console as long as Windows 10 has been out, and we've been aggressivly improving our copy-paste story. Ctrl+C/V to copy in cmd has been around since Windows 10, and Ctrl+Shift+V to paste in WSL w

No, people have not specifically made that request to our team in the last 4 years we've owned the console. We get feature requests all the time, but I certainly haven't heard this version before. Feel free to file it over at htt

Ironically, this is actually a behavior lots of developers do want. The new Terminal fortunately gives us much more flexibility for customizing it's behavior with user settings, so we'll be able to support either pausing output

As much as you and I don't care for emoji, there's a non-zero population of developers that _do_ use emoji on a daily basis. In fact, it's one of our top 5 most requested features on our UserVoice page.

This is the correct answer. Whatever shell you want to use, you can still use just the same in the new Terminal

Haha, the day our PM Rich started on our team 3 years ago, he brought with him an entire presentation of ITerm2 features he wanted in the console. Thankfully now, we're finally getting to them!

Honestly, I'm not sure I'm the right person to elaborate upon the extensions model. If our PM Rich shows up in this thread, hopefully he'll be able to elaborate. I'll point him this way, but as he's at the conferenc

Nope! The new Terminal supports tabs, all by itself :)

Probably a bit of a delay - I wouldn't expect a stable v1 of this before late this year. We have a LOT of features we want to add to the new Terminal, so it'll likely be a while before we get into the stabilization phase

This is seriously my biggest ask of the new Terminal - once the chaos of Build slows down a bit, it's next on my to-do list :)

The official announcement is coming later today in Rajesh Jha's keynote. It seems the media embargo ended before the keynote happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
