winTerm 1.4.0-beta

winTerm 1.4.0-beta

This is a beta prerelease. The current stable release is
v1.3.0,
and /releases/latest points there. The beta is published as a GitHub
prerelease with the standard asset layout; it is not submitted to WinGet.

winTerm 1.4.0-beta is the beta of the Pane Search release. Manual
validation of v1.4.0-alpha passed — live search under sustained log
output (Kafka / Spring Boot workloads), match navigation, the counter,
and the scrollbar overview — so the alpha build is promoted unchanged
with beta version metadata.

Pane Search

Ctrl+F opens Find in the active pane only (Ctrl+Shift+F stays as
a compatibility alias; both chords are remappable). The proven Microsoft
Terminal search pipeline is reused end to end — no second engine, no
index, no buffer duplication.

• Search that follows your typing. Results update live while you
  type, across the pane's entire scrollback, with every match
  highlighted at once. Enter / Shift+Enter step through matches with
  wrap-around; case-sensitive and regular-expression modes are one
  toggle away; Esc closes and returns focus to the shell.
• The winTerm search box. Compact overlay with a search glyph, the
  input, a current / total match counter, case/regex toggles,
  previous/next, and close — adapting to narrow panes while always
  keeping the input and the close button usable.
• A scrollbar search overview. One marker per matching buffer row
  across the full scrollback, the current match's row emphasized at
  double width, independent of the showMarksOnScrollbar setting, and
  fully pane-local in splits.
• Built for real workloads. Coalesced live typing, convergence while
  output streams continuously (tail -f, dev servers, Kafka logs),
  bounded scrollbar repainting with huge match counts, and deterministic
  safety across pane resize/reflow, scrollback eviction,
  alternate-screen applications, wide characters (CJK, emoji), and
  invalid regular expressions.

Everything in v1.3.0 is included

The Command Timeline, automatic PowerShell shell integration, Visual
Progress, Workspaces, pane management, themes, and portable mode ship
unchanged from the new stable release.

Downloads

• winTerm-1.4.0-beta-setup-x64.exe — current-user or all-users
  installation.
• winTerm-1.4.0-beta-portable-x64.zip — extract and run without
  installation (creates portable.marker alongside the executable).
• SHA256SUMS.txt — checksums for both application assets; verify
  before running.

Upgrading from any earlier version installs over the existing
installation and keeps settings, themes, workspaces, and snapshots.

Requires Windows 11 x64. winTerm is an independent open-source project
based on Microsoft Terminal source code; it is not a Microsoft product
and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft.

Signing

The Setup EXE is not Authenticode-signed. Windows may display Unknown Publisher or a SmartScreen warning; verify the downloaded file against SHA256SUMS.txt before running it.
