Terminals can now outlive the app window, and you can choose to ride the pre-release line
instead of waiting for stable builds.

Highlights

Sessions that survive closing the app

Shells now run in a background session daemon rather than inside the app window, so closing
Cross Platform Terminal and reopening it puts you back in the same shells — scrollback
intact, and any long-running command still going. Turn it on with Settings → Terminal →
Keep shells running when the app closes
; it is off by default, and any pane falls back to
an ordinary in-process shell if the daemon cannot be reached. Settings → Terminal
Sessions
lists what the daemon is holding, so a session no pane reattached to can be
reclaimed or ended instead of lingering. Sessions are local to your machine only. (#83)

Unstable builds, if you want them

Settings → Updater → Unstable builds offers you pre-release versions as they are cut,
ahead of the stable release. They carry the newest features and the newest bugs, so expect
rough edges — an update offer tells you when it is an unstable build before you install it.
You are still offered a stable release whenever it is the newer one, so switching the
setting back off leaves you on the next stable version rather than stranding you on a
pre-release. (#86)

Features

  • License — the sign-in dialog now shows when your subscription runs out, in amber
    during the last week. A renewal shows up on the next check without signing in again. (#80)
  • Updater — a new Updater page in Settings shows your current version and lets you check
    for updates without opening About. (#86)

Bug Fixes

  • Window — maximizing on a second monitor left a black bar across the bottom of the
    window, over the taskbar. The window now fills the work area of the display it is actually
    on. (#82)
