RemoteFlow 0.6.1
RemoteFlow 0.6.1 is a bug-fix release for the embedded terminal. Everything in it is a fix; there are no
new features and nothing to migrate.
Fixed
Every terminal in the tab layout works again, not just the last one. Selecting any tab other than the
last left a blank panel that could not be typed into. A session that is not on screen keeps its place in
the workspace at full size — a remote desktop cannot survive being re-hosted — but its tile also kept
painting over the whole area and swallowing clicks, so the tiles stacked in tab order and the last one
buried the rest. Switching to the grid and back made it obvious, because a new terminal is added at the end
and selected, so it always looked right until you went back to an older tab.
Output on Linux no longer walks off to the right. The terminal was created with newline translation
switched off, so a line feed from the shell moved the cursor down a row without returning it to the first
column and every line of ls began where the previous one ended. The same fault left the shell's line
editor counting columns the screen did not have, which is what redrew the line you were typing over the
wrong one and repeated characters as you typed or pasted. Windows was unaffected, because its console
renders the screen itself.
A new terminal on Linux and macOS starts your own shell, not a stripped one. bash was launched in a way
that suppressed the prompt, the aliases and the colours from your own configuration, while PowerShell on
Windows kept its profile — so the same application looked configured on one platform and bare on the other.
A shell profile you have already saved keeps the arguments it was created with; clear it under
Settings → Terminal to pick up the new default.

checksums.txt lists the SHA-256 of every file above.

unknown. That is expected and is not a sign of a corrupted download; the checksum is how you tell
the difference.
