OMXTerm 0.28.0

Your windows come back when OMXTerm starts, panes know their folder without shell setup, and extensions run on every platform.

Which file do I download?

Your computer Download
Mac with an Apple chip (M1, M2, M3, M4…) OMXTerm-0.28.0-arm64.dmg
Windows PC, most laptops and desktops (Intel or AMD) OMXTerm-0.28.0-x64.exe
Windows PC with a Snapdragon / ARM chip OMXTerm-0.28.0-arm64.exe
Linux PC, most laptops and desktops (Intel or AMD) OMXTerm-0.28.0-x64.AppImage
Linux on an ARM computer OMXTerm-0.28.0-arm64.AppImage

Not sure?

  • Mac: Apple menu → About This Mac. If it says "Apple M…", you're good. Intel Macs aren't supported.
  • Windows: Settings → System → About → System type. "x64-based processor" → x64. "ARM-based processor" → arm64.
  • Linux: run uname -m in a terminal. x86_64 → x64. aarch64 → arm64.

The .sha256 files next to each download let you check the file wasn't damaged or changed (how). You can ignore them if you don't care.

First launch

  • Mac: open the .dmg, drag OMXTerm to Applications and open it. macOS will block it the first time because the app isn't notarized by Apple: go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Only once.
  • Mac, updating from 0.27.0 or older: this is the first version signed with OMXTerm's own permanent certificate, so macOS asks one last time for the permissions you had given it (for example access to Documents or Downloads). Allow them again; from now on, updates keep them.
  • Windows: run the .exe installer. Windows may say it doesn't recognize the app: click More info → Run anyway. You may also need the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.
  • Linux: the AppImage is a single file you run without installing. Make it executable and run it (chmod +x OMXTerm-0.28.0-*.AppImage, then ./OMXTerm-0.28.0-*.AppImage), or use linux_install.sh to add it to your app menu. The ARM64 build needs a recent distribution (glibc 2.42 or newer).

The x64 builds (Intel/AMD Windows and Linux) are still untested on real desktops. If something's off, tell us!

What's new

  • Your windows come back. With Saved Layout 0.3.0, OMXTerm reopens the windows, tabs, splits and folders you had when it last closed, each with a fresh shell, whether you quit, updated or it crashed. It remembers the arrangement on its own every few seconds. Window positions and sizes aren't kept yet. (#969)
  • Panes know their folder on macOS and Linux, with no shell setup. New splits and Saved Layout use the folder your shell is in, the way tmux does. On Windows, PowerShell still needs the one prompt line from the Saved Layout guide. (#974)
  • Extensions on every platform. Files and SSH Connect now work on Windows and Linux x64, and Windows x64 runs extensions for the first time. Files 0.9.0 browses Windows paths (C:\…), renames, and moves items to the Recycle Bin; SSH Connect finds Windows' built-in ssh.exe. (#978, #979, #981)
  • macOS permissions that stick. This is the first macOS release signed with OMXTerm's own stable certificate. macOS asks for privacy permissions (such as access to Documents or Downloads) one last time after this update; from now on, updates keep them. (#960)
  • Friendlier docs. The user guides were rewritten to be shorter and plainer. (#977)

Fixes

  • Mirror Typing: Start no longer sometimes stops right away with "Mirroring stopped" on Linux. The bar while mirroring is shorter too. (#973)
  • SSH Connect on Windows no longer says the OpenSSH client is missing when it's installed. (#978)

Configuration, theme and snippet file formats are unchanged (version 1).

New extension versions ship separately: Saved Layout 0.3.0 and Files 0.9.0. Install or update them from Settings → Extensions → Browse official extensions.

Details

These are the exact same files as the per-platform releases (macOS, Linux ARM64, Linux x64, Windows ARM64, Windows x64), which also say how each build was tested. Built from commit ed0ed9e100f5b1065ba08704c2476a2d7971e58c.
