This release is just to fix a bug that prevents the tilix preferences from working on GTK releases earlier then 3.22, no other changes have been made.
A new version of tilix is available, I've been deferring putting one out as I haven't been that busy working on new features however enough bug fixes have been done to warrant a new release. The following changes have been made in this version:
- Added the ability to customize the badge font and size
- Fixed an issue with loading URLs with a hash character
- Fixed an issue where tilix could get stuck in mazimized mode when a background terminal closes behind the scenes
- Added an indicator on the tab to show when new output is detected, only works with VTE alternate-screen patch
- Can now use Tab key when customizing shortcuts
- Re-worked notifications so each terminal has it's own notification rather then one global one for tilix
- Updated to use GtkD 3.8.3
- Added experimental support for process monitoring where the currently running process can be used in the terminal title. Requires enabling a setting in Dconf prefs, may cause segfaults
- Various other bug fixes
This release of tilix is primarily a bug fix release however there are a couple of minor new features:
- Added support for toggling a margin line (https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/manual/margin)
- Added new shortcut for auto-oriented splitting, thanks to @henvo
- When tabs are on the left or right they are now displayed vertically to fix space issues (#1395)
- Fixed a memory leak when closing sessions (#1409)
- Improved color matching logic for matching themes (#1400)
Please note that this will be the last release of Tilix to support GTK 3.14 and 3.16. Going forward tilix will require GTK 3.18 as a minimum.
Thanks to everyone who helped with this release
This release includes some new features, leverages new capabilities that VTE 0.52 brings as well as fixes a number of issues. Highlights for this release include:
- Badges for all! As of VTE 0.52 a Tilix specific VTE patch for badge support is no longer required
- Support for new VTE 0.52 features (#1233)
- New shortcuts to quickly cycle through previous command prompts. Requires VTE be compiled with Tilix alternate screen patch (#1369)
- Profiles in preferences has been re-worked so dialog uses less vertical space
- New GtkD 3.8.2 used which fixes a segmentation fault when casting objects from a null object
- Unsafe paste dialog uses a scrollwindow now when more then 6 lines of text (#1386)
- A new token ${activeTerminalTitle} has been added to provide more flexibility for session titles
- Triggers and custom hyperlinks now support using the tilix tokens (#1316)
- Custom hyperlinks are loaded before the default hyperlinks so users can override default behavior
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release.
This release is primarily to fix a problem with transparency in tilix with regards to the forthcoming VTE 0.52 release as part of Gnome 3.28.
However in addition to that, the other major change is that support for quake mode in Wayland has been dropped. It's turned out to be have far too many issues to support due to the limitations of Wayland around window positioning. Users who want to use quake mode in Wayland can do so by forcing the usage of the X11 backend with tilix via the environment variable GDK_BACKEND=x11.
Finally a slight tweak to custom links has been made to allow them to be re-ordered and are evaluated before the default regex expressions for the standard links.
This release improves the stability of Tilix plus fixes a few minor issues. The only new feature is being able to copy terminal output as HTML.
This release fixes a single issue with 1.7.0 where the default for the overlay scrollbar was set to false.
Well things have slowed down a bit as I'm super busy on the work front, however I think things are at a point where a new release is warranted. Thanks to everyone who contributed code, bug reports and more to this release. The following changes have been made in this release:
- Added support for using tabs instead of the sidebar since it was requested so often
- Preliminary flatpak support now working thanks to the efforts of @jaje who did a phenomenal job on this, thanks!
- Fixed visual issues with DEs (looking at you MATE) that try to disable overlay scrolling with environment variables
- Added new variable for titles to return total number of sessions
- Added visual indicator when there is new content when scroll on new content is disabled
- Fixed a number of bugs and issues
A new release of Tilix is available with the following changes:
- Dim option now dims the fonts and does not alter the background. The dim color option has been removed
- Added option to disable saving/restoring window state between invocations
- Added option to disable overlay scrollbar in favor of separate scrollbar widget
- Fixed problem with selecting non-existent bookmark causing a crash
- Enabled customizing keyboard shortcut for toggling local input synchronization
- Added abilitiy to specify window style from command line
- Added menu option to open CWD in file browser (i.e. Nautilus, etc)
- Fixed issue where opening a custom link could only be done once
