Terminal Workspace v0.1.1

Terminal Workspace v0.1.1

This release sharpens Terminal Workspace for open-source discovery and safer long-running desktop use.

Highlights

• Inactive terminal panes are lightweight placeholders.
• xterm instances are created only for running terminals.
• PTY creation now requires explicit user action.
• Terminal transcripts are kept as tail-only in-memory state and are not persisted.
• README now clearly positions the project as a cross-project local-development terminal workspace.
• Added contribution guide, issue templates, PR template, release checklist, growth plan, and promotion kit.

Why it matters

Terminal Workspace is for developers who run many local shells across multiple repos: frontend, backend, workers, tunnels, logs, scripts, and project probes. It is not a shell replacement; it is a workspace around the many shells you already run.

Install

npm install
npm run dev

Known limits

• Source-first release; packaged macOS builds are still planned.
• macOS requires Xcode Command Line Tools for node-pty rebuilds.

Terminal Workspace v0.1.0

Initial open source release of Terminal Workspace.

Terminal Workspace is a cross-project multi-terminal desktop app for developers who need to manage frontend, backend, worker, script, and log shells across many local repos from one workspace.

Highlights:

• Real local PTY sessions powered by node-pty and xterm.js
• Multi-project sidebar with recent terminals
• Grid, list, and split terminal views
• Per-terminal panel resizing
• Deep project inspection for scripts, env files, Docker Compose, workflows, task files, build markers, and docs
• Per-terminal up-arrow recall scoped to the active terminal
• macOS-style Electron desktop shell and icon assets

Distribution is source-first for this release. Clone the repo, run npm install, then npm run dev or npm run desktop.
